    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Thing I like about games like that is the exploration. Doesn't have to be open world. I love the Dark Souls setup of maps and world. Explore all over to find items / loot. Then you have this game. You start exploring and .... ponchos. No weapons, armor, gizmos or whatever. Just cosmetics...

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    Played it for 98 minutes it says. So figure 8 minutes for going in (trying to get PS icons to work, but guess they not in yet even though it says dualsense is supported). I have a 4090 and a 13900 Set everything to max and 4k, then set it to max 60fps. The intro ship lags for some reason, the...

    V Rising

    Wait 3 weeks for full release and see if the new content gives you a boost of power with items/abilities or whatnot?

    V Rising

    Bought the game when it first launched in EA. Played maybe an hour, knew I would like it, and decided for once I would wait until it was "finished". Glad I did, going into 1.0 fairly blind.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I upgraded to a Voodoo card way back when and was able to look up playing EQ in groups/raids without going LD with spell effects on.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Figure since people are waiting for the Elden Ring DLC, this might be of interest. Might have been mentioned before since demo has been out for 3 weeks or so. Full rework of DS3, people who played the demo say it's like a Dark Souls 4. https://archthrones.com/

    Once Human

    Beta is open again. Not sure how they keys work for this or if it is open. I just entered, but I had a key for the last one too, so might be you get access to one, you get access to all.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I didn't know the units changed (think there are 4 different?) when you enter the missions. Had issues with one until I looked up that. Then I just re-entered until I got the red unit that costs 5. No other units, just zerg. Went from difficult to doing it in less than a minute.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    That ... thing. And the riddles I only know of 5 of them. Saw it on a stream, not gone there myself. If you fail any riddle, it locks the entire quest line. I think there are 10. spoiler for some of the first quests/riddles

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Just finished the first golden saucer part and got the buggy. 100% everything so far (except some additional objectives like getting all 3 things for the elite fights), 40ish hours. The game is fantastic. I think an e-mail communication that could have happened during the development of this...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Be careful of spoiler stuff if looking at any sort of video regarding Rebirth (or creators known for FF7 for that matter) on youtube. The recommended section has people trying to spoil by showing the last fights and enemies in thumbnails. Was just looking at Maximillians channel, and the...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Best of wishes to you man! Hope you like the game. PS: The demo section skip unlocks later. I thought I had done something wrong. Not really a spoiler, so the piano, there isn't a sheet music to play like there is in the demo. Which is accurate, isn't that piano thing for Tifa one of her...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think it's both? New players can enjoy the story for what it is. Bad guy messing with world, there seem to be some other timeline with some other people. That's where new players are. "Who is this guy they are zooming into at the end? Guess we will learn later." As players who have played...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I was going to wait, but caved and finished remake and the demo now. I really liked it. Been a while since I played the original now, what was butchered about it? The demo isn't the entire thing either (Max stated that the demo he played was longer than the one released, continued on). All the...

    Last Epoch

    Instead of the constant "I am out of mana" spam that most games do, they let you overcharge mana. I don't think there are any drawbacks other than mana in the negative takes slightly longer to regenerate (regen speeds up once you go positive)

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    You're fighting the remnants of Sephiroth there from Advent Children. Kadaj, Loz and Ya something? They form together for Whisper Bahamuth which Kadaj summons in Advent Children. Kind of a convoluted way to do it, and the section certainly overstays its welcome. MaximillianDood using using...

    Nothing against this game, since they all do it, but has there been a survival game (of any genre, horror, action, whatever) that didn't release in early access since early access became a thing?

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Never finished the PS5 version, have it saved at the Rufus fight (where I have done everything there is to do just in case there is some sort of save transfer of completion, people you talked to, did quests for, etc). Just did Intergrade for the first time. Was thinking of finishing it on the...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    No idea how true it is, but the PS5 pro (rumored dates are between November to early next year) aims for 4k/60 and 8k/30. 8k features to fit with the new Sony TV lineup. Might also align with Sony saying that no first party PS games will release between now and April next year to tie in with a...

    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    This is one of those games that would really benefit from a rogue-like/lite mode DLC of sorts. I enjoyed the combat, but I have no desire to ever play the "full" game again.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Rebirth demo has been added to the PSN store, so a high probability it will be added during/after the Rebirth showcase. You'll earn the kupo charm survival set from it. Full game is supposed to be 145gb. I haven't really paid attention to it, does the PSN still require twice the space to...

    What are you playing?

    Get Persona 3 on gamepass, it was a day one release there. That's a long one, depending on how much you play, Infinite Wealth might be getting close to getting to a gamepass release (all other Yakuza games are, so it will be as well). A "Royal" version of Persona 3 is probably years away. Edit...

    Yakuza series

    Great series. Writing is top notch, which is what makes them so spectacular. You have the crazy stories / side quests / minigames , many very lighthearted, in combination with a massive scope heavy lore mafia/political intrigue story with fantastic voice acting and actors. Yakuza main story is...

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    Thor was talking about this on his Twitch channel yesterday. He said it is a nonsense article/claim. He said in industry speak it was basically "we have gotten 10s of thousands of notifications about this. We will look into any claim we have reason to. We know. Please stop sending us messages"...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Iceborne is the only DLC which adds content. Rest are cosmetics. There is a high res texture pack you should get (47gb), but other than that nothing is needed. There are 10 or so free DLCs you can add, but instead of adding them one by one, I think at the bottom of the list there are some free...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    The pricing is kind of strange. Deluxe version of Rebirth stand alone is the same as the deluxe version of the twin pack where you get the deluxe edition of both games. Expensive on the PS5 though, cost $100.

    Escape from Tarkov

    Been watching Shroud play, and he and his team constantly checks the console. In it you see an error command spammed when someone uses the vacuum, like 20+ lines of an error that also has the name of the player doing it. They just leave the raid if they see it.

    Monster Hunter: World

    World was my first Monster Hunter game and it made me a fan for life for the franchise. For pure gameplay I'd be hard pressed to think of another game I like more. Checks so many boxes of enjoyment. I really like the exploration, running around finding things and areas. I hope Wilds make the...

    Once Human

    It's quite fun. Bit buggy at the moment (crashes a bit), but the overall impression I have is good. - Gunplay is good. You can fight higher level enemies than you, and they don't feel bullet spongey unless you go 15+ levels above yourself. They rather (correctly) do it that they do more damage...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Sekiro is constant aggression + parry. If you stop attacking, their parry/stagger bar goes down. Other than trash mob enemies who die in a few hits, everything falls into that play style. Sure there are enemies that get extra damage to their stagger bar using a certain arm skill, and some you...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Solasta has similar combat. More combat, less story, but still story. Certainly not as polished as BG3 though. But as he says in the review. The story is decent, but the focus is building of characters for the combat. King Arthur - Knights Tale just had a 2.0 massive patch update. That's more...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I downloaded this again, started it again as a Wretch thinking of going full melee, and only using things that drop. But since I know there is a DLC coming, I am kind of hesitant since I am not sure if the DLC will only be X new area you can use an old character on to experience everything, or...

    It was in open beta, but became too popular so they closed it. Now they do invites only on Fridays. 10000 went out today (I applied, didn't get a code). 200+k queue. Kind of a survival Division type game with build mechanics (Fallout 76 style). There will be PvP servers, but only PvE at the...

    No it is full hardcore, die and dead. You can still be a ghost or transfer to a classic server for free. Bunch of people in Sodapoppins guild have made quite a bit of money from it I think. They've made an addon called RestedXP which gives a fairly optimal guide from 1-60 for all classes. First...
