played through Rage 2 this week, good high-octane nonsense, very much could have been a mad max re-skin. Luckily I'm a huge mad max fan. Short campaign, pretty repetitive outside of that, but it doesn't overstay its welcome like so many open world games lately

anybody here played Disco Elysium? 

I bought Rage 2 and attempted to install it back in May, but had to get it refunded because my PC couldn't run it. Which is odd considering Doom 2016 runs fine. 

My cousin recommended Disco Elysium, but I haven't tried it yet. From what I've seen it looks like the second-gen Shadowrun games. But I still have a back log of like 5 games I haven't yet played that I purchased from Steam sales lol


No Man's Sky just got another big update. Main thing is that you can upgrade Starships now, as well as scrap them for resources. And first-person view mode as been added to Exocraft driving/piloting. Plus local star system economy stats have been added to items when buying or selling, which is nice.

It’s not the same engine, Rage 2 wasn’t even developed by id Software either (I know, marketing doesn’t make that too clear)

Yeah it was Avalanche who developed it. For some reason I thought Rage 2 also ran on Id Tech 6, but I guess that's not the case.

Yeah it’s a bit of a weird one, same with Quake Champions which also does not run on id Tech at all.

I have put it off for long enough and today I am proud to announce that I have ordered all the bits for a Mister FPGA system.

I loved Mad Max on the ps4, would I like Rage 2? I’m tempted to get either that, Days Gone or maybe just good old Battlefield. As far as I’m aware there hasnt been a decent RPG in awhile.

Anyone playing SW Jedi Fallen Order?  It seems cool, like an updated Jedi Knight, or Force Unleashed.

And for the better rly. Game's all about about surviving with limited resources / against the odds innit.

Just finished The Plutonia Experiment via Brutal Doom - certainly was a tough one and things got .... messy !

[onecaseman]

Beat A Plague Tale: Innocence. Pretty good game. A little wonky controls on a couple things toward the end. Mixes a lot of different elements of different games to feel unique.

I think I'm going to start playing Control next, which I bought on Black Friday.

You can play as Geralt The Witcher in Daemon X Machina on Switch, weird.

I asked bc the gyro aiming only works with an item in hand I think, and I haven't gotten very far yet.

I watched the GDC Stadia presentation again today while working and damn... I know most tech presentations always promise too much, but it's extra hilarious when it's Google and Phil Harrison.

Kindof ticked that I sold my Vive not long ago, then Half Life VR gets announced. They need to do two obvious things though: 1 make it wireless, 2 increase resolution. First person games were meant for this platform, it just needs to evolve a bit more.

Other then that I beat Sekiro so I've moved on to Nioh. Also playing Original Sin 2 coop every once in a while.

finally got some time to play some genesis last night. loving this one so hard.

[Boxus]

Baba is You is VERY good. A must-play for puzzle game fans. Some of the most creative problem solving I've ever done in a game.

Been hooked on the new Modern Warfare online these past few weeks. I honestly haven't enjoyed a CoD this much since CoD4 (for the record this is still inferior)

Also bought GTA V for PS4 yesterday. Even though I had it on the PS3 and completed it when it came out, I still feel I kinda neglected it. Usually I sink days into just fucking around on those games but I don't have much recollection of doing so on this one, so I'm just making up for lost time.

Not particularly hyped for anything else in the near future. HL Alyx would be cool but I don't have VR, nor a capable rig. Psychonauts 2 should be sweet but who knows when that's dropping, and I'm kinda worried the Microshaft acquisition is gonna flatten Double Fine eventually.
