What are you playing?

Replaying Dying Light (first one). Crazy how an 11 year old game looks and feels better than most new AAA(A) titles. Also playing Elden Ring with randomizer mod. Fighting heavy archers while wading through a swamp is... interesting. Had to re-randomize.

Played through deadspace 2, and while I liked it it felt like a pretty big step down to me. The biggest issue was the level design/setting, there’s no back and forth like DS1. I really liked playing in the Ishimura, where you had the tram as a central hub and you revisited different wings of the ship throughout the game. You got to actually know the ship, while in DS2 you are always going forward to the next room/hall.
Also, I liked the tuning in DS1 better, where there weren’t endless waves of necros like in DS2 but getting hit by them took much more life. I only died in combat a few times, but it was almost always due to some exploder that dropped literally on top of me, which I don’t remember ever really happening in DS1. There were some pretty cool encounters though, the room with the tripod guys where you have to throw a bunch of canisters to overheat the hydrogen tanks was fun.
Early game inventory management in DS2 was awful, you get guns pretty quick and so start getting multiple types of ammo, but suits come slower.
The graphics do hold up pretty well though for a 15 year old game.

Playing Soul Reaver 2 Remastered, from the remastered bundle they released some months ago that included Soul Reaver 1+2. I'd played Soul Reaver a bunch of times on PS1 in my youth and love that game, but I'd somehow never played SR2.
So far it feels like a big step down from SR1 in most aspects except the dialogue and cutscenes voice acting that's still great, and supposely the story is awesome too but the game feels a lot emptier and more linear without any relevant exploration than SR1 even though it came on the next generation of consoles.

How the fuck have you never played Diablo 2? I remember going to Hastings back in college the day it dropped that summer with a group of buddies and everybody picked up their copy in an actual box with CDs. We played it all weekend.
I mean at this point at least you would get to experience the remastered version for the first time which I guess is a plus.

I never played that shit either. I was deep into EQ and AO back in them days. Single player games like Diablo were like 1 out of 10 interest to me after experiencing multiplayer EQ/AO worlds. In fact with EQ/AO/WOW I was exclusively playing mmorpg until like 2006?

I understand that, but you missed out. Bunch of us played UO together and then played DAOC which was after D2's release. We played Diablo 2 multiplayer, that's why we all went out and got it to play together that summer.
But I mean we were playing starcraft, quake 2, COH, PlanetSide, and all kinds of other late 90s - early 00s games if they were multiplayer. We typically had a LAN party during the Christmas holiday at somebody's apartment, back when you could install games with just a CD key, and there was no online verification or whatever it was. How I think starcraft and Warcraft and games like that used to have the ability to install something specifically for LAN. You just needed one person with the physical copy.
