    Crimson Desert

    Controls in the skill up video almost put me off this completely. Looks really annoying! watched 5 previews, not exactly glowing…. Oh well mh stories 3 next week

    Crimson Desert

    Those puzzles look awful. No story, no rpg systems really, static npcs, looks great, runs great, massive world, sandbox, fun combat, loads of secret bosses, started as mmo which is pervasive during gameplay, large scale battles, meaningless flavor activities. about what I predicted. Wide as an...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Unless seasonal updates turn this into a PVE experience or drastically change the focus of the game, this game will not survive I don't think. I played 6 or so hours this weekend, and honestly, only really enjoyed about half an hour of it. Perhaps it's just me and my preferences, but even if I...

    When I saw that on twitter last week, before even knowing what it was I went "man someone is ripping off Szeth... wait, wtf?". Crazy

    Thanks, bought it! It was such an unusual, unexpected treat happy to add to the ole shelf.

    What did you just read?

    Read Between Two Fires in like 2 days. WOW. Been a while since a novel stuck with my like that. Can’t stop thinking about it. Beautifully written, great ending, interesting characters. A few eye roll moments aside, I recommend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Between_Two_Fires_(novel)

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I kind of feel like most rockstar games don’t hold up that well, both in flavor and mechanically.

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Games so boring it’s insane. I had two matches today where I literally shot my gun like 5 times and saw a grand total of 5 pve enemies. Just a completely empty, uninteresting world that looks great. Gunplay is awesome but you don’t even need a gun because there’s bugger all to do. DOA

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Disney wow - I will say the character models look fantastic and demo lock is a ton of fun. Wish we had these troll models for player characters, for example.

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    There is fun to be had here but so far, for me, it's too long between engagements. I've hoarded a shit load of stuff as rook. These two maps are just okay so far.

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    No matter how much I try, I just don’t like this genre of games. I really like the art style and world building, but I just don’t love spending half an hour in a pretty empty map only to lose all my shit in a 5 second fight. Like arc raiders, I play this game daydreaming about a great single...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Game looks and runs great, but the ui is really bad. That’s a problem because you spend a ton of time in the menus. They spent 6 months polishing the visuals but it seems like the ui was a complete afterthought. Will play more today to get some impressions.

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    Up through normal Rey Day - not sure if it's the optimization, the new graphics card, LBG or what but I'm having a much more enjoyable time now than I remember ever having at launch. It's super easy w/ LBG but the fights and spectacle are still awesome.

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    Started completely over and doing a full LBG playthrough. Definitely improved performance but some odd textures still here and there. Feels good to play, going to take my time - didn't realize I hadn't even turned this on for almost a year and quit at like 105 HR.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3 - Twisted Reflection

    Same, great series - looks like a kids game but I enjoyed two better than MH Wilds tbh. 3 looks even better

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Yeah, I bought a nice es 335, and I almost always just pick up the fender variations. Got a new build coming soon from a guy down in Austin called Berly making me a jazzmaster. Should fit in with my fender telemaster (basically the guitar I pick up 90% of the time). I'll probably be selling my...

    Crimson Desert

    Call me a cynic, but if this game is even remotely the "RPG" experience some people are hoping I'll be shocked. I suspect this will be a massive open world combat sim with very light world building/story stuff. My expectation is the "story" just exists to push you around the world so you can...

    Nioh 3

    About where I'm at as well, great time though and combat is SSS tier. Shelving for a while as there isn't much else to do, even changed builds for a change of pace and quickly started obliterating everything again.

    Nioh 3

    I finished the game late last night and I guess "struggled" on a few bosses, but never near as much as pure souls games and nothing felt cheap and unfair. Going through first map again on ng+ now and things are a bit more difficult so far so a nice change. Really enjoyed this game, so much fun...

    ATT Fiber finally got to our neighborhood, got 1gb fiber for 34$ a month. Seemed like a steal considering I was paying $125/month for 800 cox broadband.

    Nioh 3

    25 hours in, just got to the snow area - having a blast. One mild criticism though, is pacing - end of Act 1 was like 5 bosses straight after going over 5 hours without a single boss. Not a big complaint, just weird how back loaded all the bosses were.
