Just finished. Episode 1 and 8 were pretty strong. Rest was extremely uneven. They have some bad writers and directors in the mix. Some of the VFX were laughable.
Nothing against Yenefer and Triss actresses but they are badly cast. Some other big-time miscasts as well.
Still watchable because...
Vampire Survivors is a rogue-like with a 30 minute time limit. You are never "done" with the game but 50 / 50 achievements will call it done. :emoji_thumbsup:
Finished Mass Effect Andromeda in about 30 hours. Decent game and not as bad as its reputation suggests. Although they made the Asari weird looking which is hard to forgive. o_O
Watching season 2 finally.
Episode 1 was straight outta a Witcher 3 quest with the cursed pig guy, dead villagers, the Bruxa, and a pyrrhic victory ending. Production is excellent and shows how Witcher 3 really nailed the tone of the books. 👍
Anecdotal obviously, but one crash that rebooted my PC, it re-started and the PC didn't recognize my mouse. I had to unplug and replug the mouse for Windows to recognize it again.
How incompetent can your programmers be to cause crashes that invalidate hardware? WTF. o_O
Steam reviews down to "mixed". People getting mad and think it is "review bombing". It is no Cyberpunk day 1 but it is pretty bad launch. :D

The ~1.5 hours I played seemed decent but refunded because chain crashing...
Game randomly crashes for me. Just like Lost Ark did. Something to do with Easy Anti Cheat.
Updated mobo, CPU, GPU, and verified cache. Still crashes.
Hundreds of other complaints about the same thing in the forums.
Yeah this went way, way off the rails. Like some bizarre bad 70's sci-fi but with production values.
- giant space worm hatches from a pregnant Android
- Father arena battles a chainsaw arm robot for no apparent reason
- cyborg milk resurrects a long dead alien skeleton
- if you swallow the...
Damn game is cool but just constantly crashes. Many others having same issue. At this point Easy Anti Cheat should be considered malware. o_O

Damn I was liking this game then Easy Anti Cheat starts rebooting my PC. Like not even an error message. Just instant reboot.
Same thing happened with Outriders which also has EAC. 😵
Picked this up on deep sale. Not bad. Graphics are pretty decent. You can make a decent looking character that isn't the default.
Surprisingly combat centric. It's almost Gears of War combat. Anyway worth the purchase on sale. ;)
Here's another legit review from Skillup. On par with ACG reviews IMHO.
Game is hardcore souls-like (but possibly even harder in some ways?). I'm out but I'm sure for many it might increase their interest.
Finished this in about 30 hours doing some side quests. Only real complaint is the game is far too easy on Normal. Not many bugs except stuff that is on the ground but cannot be picked up is common. :(
Picked this up for half price on Steam sale.
The Witcher 3 was janky but incredible story and characters. The characters were incredible.
How is it possible they regressed?
This is a real slow-burn gatcha game. Have been into it with some friends for 1 year+. Anyone else playing this?
Looking to transfer from a casual guild to something more competitive ...
Yeah IIRC the Xcom 2 difficulty was way out of whack. The first one was better balanced.
TBH, this might be blasphemy in some circles, but Chimera Squad was better than both IMHO.
I'm definitely in if magic is viable like the beta test and game has standard COOP like every other game ...
Zero interest if the game involves clearing trash every attempt on a boss. o_O
If the showrunners and writers of The Expanse (SciFi show rescued by Amazon) were involved I might be optimistic.
I really hope Apple TV does not fuck up Wool. Foundation was disappoint.
It is a tribute to how good the acting the writing / acting in these games that I actually did that willingly.
Almost no other games would I even care to do it.
Damn does Mass Effect have huge TV series potential. Imagine these with The Expanse level writing and GOT budget ... :eek:
Agreed with Mist on this. Went from 100 to 0 on this game lol. The second world was MEH but then the tomb area was like 90% puzzles.
If you are into that cool, to each their own, but I uninstalled. Was never a fan of Tomb Raider and not compelling enough to Google all these solutions.
Got it...
I bought Battlefront 2 and this game for cheap on Steam. Played BF2 single player first. Not much MP since BF2 multiplayer is currently broken on PC due to the 1HP hack.
Anyway this SP campaign is light years ahead of BF2 Sp campaign. Not the same ballpark ... not even same sport ... in terms...
Star Wars Battlefront 2. Worth the purchase for single player, if you get it on deep discount. Multiplayer (except COOP) is hack-ridden so do not bother.
So yeah picked this up for like 8 bucks on deep sale. Apparently there's a decent number of people trying to play it still but EA abandoned it?
You can play the SP campaign but due to some hack, nothing can die in multiplayer, on any server, in any mode. o_O
Yeah its the holidays, but gotta...
