We just made it to the second area last night. It does have all kinds of problems, but we’ll probably keep playing until Diablo comes out. They should start fixing this game by upping the difficulty. We have it set to the highest difficulty available before beating the game and it feels like...

What’s the story on Valheim console as far as dedicated servers? Can I use an extra Xbox to run a server a la Ark? If not, what are my options?

Libraries that have games are the best. I’ve played every good PS4 and PS5 game since I got my PS5 a while back without spending a dime on games. I’m currently 3 in line for the new GOW. Just waiting for the library to get its copies in. Should be soon. New COD (also from the library) will...

I’m on Xbox. Will be interesting to see how queue times vary between PC and console. I don’t think I’ve ever seen tank or dps less than 5 minutes. Always 5-10 minutes.

I’m worried about queue times. Tank and DPS are routinely at 10 minutes for me, and I think that’s only going to get worse. Pretty ridiculous when the queue time to get in a game is the average length of a game. It’s also another flaw in 5v5. Who’d have thought that going from 4 tanks in...

I don’t know when you did your placement matches, but for a while they were bugged. It was placing everyone lower than it should have been. They’ve fixed it now—as of a couple days ago.

It’s ironic that they buffed all the tanks and went to 1 tank in role queue to avoid having “too many shields” because it’s going to have the opposite effect in every other play mode. You thought 2 normal tanks was bad? Wait till people start rolling through with 2 beefed up tanks in open...

I play on Xbox. OW2 was literally an “update” for OW1–a decent-sized patch. It plays the exact same and looks almost the exact same (and not even objectively better). Everyone not affected by unintentional bugs has the same skins and other cosmetics as they had in OW1 and retained the same...

https://blog.google/products/stadia/message-on-stadia-streaming-strategy/ Stadia is dead. Google is refunding all hardware and software purchases.

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23857517/defense-matrix-activated-fortifying-gameplay-integrity-and-positivity-in-overwatch-2/ I’d say they’re on a fools errand trying to make the community less toxic. But I am happy to see them finally trying to address the fake/Smurf/alt accounts issue...

Add one more to my list: Gloomhaven on PC. It’s free on the Epic Games Store until tomorrow. They did a good job recreating the board game for PC. Highly recommend it.

All of these are on Gamepass: I’ve been playing Ghost Recon Wildlands with some friends. We’ve been having a lot of fun with it. A little repetitive to play through alone, but with friends it’s worth it. Also been playing Solasta with friends. It’s digital D&D—or so I’m told. I think of it...

I’m playing through for my second time, so I like the game. But I’ve always thought they oversold the environment of a living breathing city. In fact, I think it’s one of the worst aspects of the game. The vast majority of NPCs don’t recognize you’re around, will say 3-5 words when you “talk”...

I’d say it has failed miserably. DPS is just as long (or longer) than OW1 and tank is now just as long as DPS.

The graphics look OK when the boat is just sailing, but as soon as any action starts it looks terrible. I think I’ve seen that exact fire animation (28:50 in the video) in an N64 game. Sea of Thieves had problems, but graphics style was not one of them.

I’ve played it a bit now. Every criticism about OW2 being more of a patch than a sequel is fair and accurate. 5v5 feels a little faster paced, I guess. I’m not sure how some of the tanks are going to be able to fill the tank role solo. Roadhog only worked as a tank in the first one because a...

Got an invite on Xbox. Gonna try it out tonight.

Beat this game when it first came out on Series X. Saw it at the library the other day and thought what the hell, I’ll give it another shot. I didn’t have too big of a problem with bugs last time around, and I’m not this time either. But I am surprised at the number of bugs that haven’t...

Thanks for the tip. Just went from 1/23/23 to 6/21/24 for $67.

Avowed is Obsidian’s fantasy role playing game. Word is it has been rebooted, has a new director, and won’t be released for a long, long time. Everwild is dead—or might as well be. Last I heard they were still at the drawing board phase on everything but the art. Backward ass pieces of shit...

Yeah, so I definitely didn’t understand it. Went to offline mode and still got attacked by the same guy. Turns out it was an NPC…doh.

I was hesitant to try this game cause I’ve never liked Dark Souls and I gave up on Bloodborne after just a couple hours. But I picked this up today, and I’m glad I did. Obviously there are similarities to those other games, but in terms of enjoyment for me, the difference is night and day...

Been playing some Bloodborne in anticipation of Elden Ring. I just can’t get into it. I think a large part of it is that I suck. I have a hard time enjoying myself when I just die over and over. I make a little more progress each time, and I’m confident I could eventually make it through the...

Finally got around to playing Uncharted 4. It was my first foray into the Uncharted series. It was a great game, but probably the PS exclusive I’ve enjoyed the least so far. I started The Lost Legacy, but it just feels too repetitive. I’m going to put it away for now. I’ll probably come back...

Couldn’t agree more. The Boba Fett actor ruined the show. He just looks sad in his armor. Always looks like he has a beer gut. Admittedly I don’t know much Star Wars lore, but isn’t Boba supposed to be the an elite bounty hunter? I just laugh every time it shows tubby in his armor. It also...

Finished God of War tonight. Incredible.

Loved the contest and had a lot of fun even though I came in second. I won’t be putting in nearly as much time in the future. This time I kind of stumbled into the perfect storm of work slowing down a little and my wife’s extra patience as part of my Christmas present (along with the new PS5)...

This one was good. Not one I had heard much or anything about. Props for coming up with unique super powers.

Can’t complain. It was free.

This one started out slow. It took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out wtf was going on…not so much the story but just how you’re supposed to play it. In the end, it was a creative idea and fun game. Love the multiplayer idea of going into other players’ loops. But in practice it...

As expected, it was a very shallow game. Some fun to be had, especially with the couch co-op. But not a game I’d recommend.

The disc drive on this thing is literally louder than my vacuum. edit: only when installing. Quiet when playing.

Excellent sequel. It’s better in almost every way. Doesn’t hurt that it was made for PS5.

Ratchet and Clank met expectations. I wouldn’t call it game of the year material, but it was a lot of fun. And, bonus, it’s a game the minions could watch me play.

Yep, this is what I was asking. I know we’re not counting anything before 10/26/2021 because that’s when the thread started. But did I need to “join” the contest before beating a game to count it? I beat Ori after the thread start date (see above) but before I knew about the contest. Same...

Is it cheating to count a game I beat after the start of thread but before I knew the contest existed? Edit: completed after thread was started

I took a slight detour off Utnayan’s PS 5 list…

Another one down. I felt like it started a little slow but really picked up and turned into something great. Part of it, for sure, was that I’m a little zombied out and the start really felt like it was going to be the same old story. But the story ended up being unique enough that it...
