Duelyst was a great game. Still is I guess for a few more weeks. I definitely played a ton of it when I was on a break from Hearthstone. I think what killed it for me was getting into Slay the Spire.

Gwent ended up going kinda the same way for me. Played it a bit then fell off hard.

Just a thought, I can’t open a site without having a fucking ‘agreement’ wall of text these days.
Are there browser addons that can nuke that shit ?

uBlock Origin and uMatrix allow you yo select which sites/servers to block which helps. You can also use "Block Element" to block Agreement overlays and stuff.

I don't know if there's an Add-On to do it automatically though.

Hey guys, I've recently finished playing Dead Space for the first time and I absolutely loved this game! Here's my love letter to this game with 4K/60 FPS gameplay footage, this aged like a fine wine
Stop there !

The character editor in Black Desert really is bonkers.
I spent like half an hour and I didn't even touch face and body much :02dead:
Game is pretty fun. Combat is really cool and graphics are pretty. And funnily enough a friend also bought the game during the seal, which I saw in the game activity log after buying it myself and we played a bit together.

Just finished Resident Evil 2 (Remake).




Going into this, I didn't expect to like it as much as the original REmake, since the change to a third person seemed to evoke a
more action-oriented approach, with a far lesser focus on survival horror. Instead, it seems that Capcom has found a great balance
in modernising the old RE formula, while still staying true to the original game in many ways.


I played the Leon path and then Claire for the second run. I like how much Leon's run resembles the original game, with the Police Station
clearly evoking the Spencer Mansion. The zombies in this one are great. While you have much greater manoeuvrability, the zombies also pack
much more of a punch, thus punishing you from trying to kill all of them, and instead forcing you to run, either because you are actively
saving ammo, or because you run out of it and are forced to run.
I was surprised how much I ended up liking Mr. X in this one. First hearing about it I thought it would be super annoying, but instead
I feel his presence in the later 2/3rds of the game actually spice things up, since at that point you basically have little to fear from
zombies any more, either you killed most of them or found ways around them.

I was a bit impressed how Claire ended up getting all the heavy weapons, from Grenade Launchers, to Submachine Guns to a fucking Minigun
at the end of the game. I guess they wanted to show that she's a Redfield after all. Great design on her too, matches how she looked in REV2.


The story was also nice to know, fills some holes I had about the events in Racoon, especially combined with RE0.
I kinda hope that Capcom also considers remaking Code Veronica like this too.

Also, thanks to DragonBall for her QueenShade repo on Github. Helped make the game look much nicer, though I later found out that you just needed to tweak the brightness settings quite differently from the ingame instruction to make the game look less greyish

Managed to play on XGP a bunch of stuff I had in my Steam wishlist.
Mostly disappointments.

The Outer Worlds?
Basically a summary of any other Obsidian game, for better or for worse. Nah, just for worse. It's uninspired, rarely original, slow as fuck, combat system an afterthought, and everything else plays like a Bethesda game (= bad).

Ape Out?
If I wanted to watch Whiplash I'd have watched Whiplash.
At least is short enough that it doesn't overstay its welcome. And folks keener to beating the best score will find it replayable enough I guess.

Gris?
Soooooo pretty!
Also so boring! And please devs, just stop using character chanting meaningless stuff as a story-driving gameplay element, like oooh look at me I'm so sensitive, refined, dreamy, etc. Nope it just gets annoying after the third time.
Also please remember to add some actual gameplay next time k thx

I bought it when the English beta branch was released and it was a little rough so I didn't play it much. Hopefully, it'll be better by February.
I wasn't aware there was a beta branch. :giggle:

The game caught my eye when it launched, since it looked really cool, but because it was Chinese-only I forgot about it, until I saw in another website the announcement that the English translation is out on February 14th.

Outside of the translation issues, how is the game?

Just completed the 6th palace in P5, 2 left and Im finished with the game, then back to PC gaming again.

I do still have Odins Sphere Leiftrasir, KH 1.5 + 2.5 HD and Crash Nitro-Fueled left in my PS4 backlog, but Im currently not interested in Odins Spher efor some reason and Im still hoping for a PC version of KH and Crash Nitro-Fueled.

It was pretty fun, but I only went through the first mission so I don't know much about it yet.
Thanks. ;)

Since buying it made me reach the needed amount to get a discount voucher, I ended up buying it on the current sale (and used the voucher to score some "free" DLCs), so I'll be hoping for the best. :)

I like the visuals and soundtrack from the videos I've seen, and a 1790's France spin on the Advance Wars formula is a really cool idea.

Odin Sphere is a good game and I recommend playing it, maybe you can just play it in parts, since you do have to repeat the same levels with different characters to get the final ending (I think it took me 50-60 hours in total to get the real ending)



I got my copy of Samurai Jack and well it sucks how Ultra Violet is gone since it did come with a code for the thing that I can not rededeem anymore.


I think I'm going to be taking my break from DQB2 soon, also one of the things that suck is that it seems that you can have a Max of 60 registered residence in your island. That doesn't really leave me a lot to work with and because there are certain things that I want to do in the game and they require the residence to do some of that work,

I can't seem to think straight.


The story of what happened with No Man Sky is really something. Remember people get hyped up very easily.
