I've gotten back into Cyberpunk 2077; This game went from a disaster to becoming the version which should have been released! So many systems reworked, being able to ride the Metro in cinematic style,
  • You certainly live up to your username. ROFL Shilling for a corporation is a move which is never in one's best interest! We should always speak honestly about games and the corpos who made said games. Cyberpunk 2077 will never be the release trailer, as game trailers have a history of being dishonest. It certainly wasn't at launch because Cyberpunk 2077 was a broken fucking mess. The dev team did try their best to make good on some of the promises, but not all of them. I do speak honestly that I do enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 in its current state, but I also acknowledge that it wasn't the game we were originally promised.

  • Overall, I find the full version of Cyberpunk 2077 a hell of a lot more satisfying than when it initially released in a broken state! If you are playing on Xbox Series S or X, there are occasional crashes but autosaving mostly makes it so only a few seconds to minutes is lost. As for the PC version, I cannot say what state Cyberpunk 2077 is on Steam/GOG. I agree that it's better to work on the games you have ahead in your to be played queue!

  • Personally, I am having fun with the game in its current state. The release version was so shitty, and I posted some spicy responses about Cyberpunk 2077 on release day. Shilling for corporations isn't my vibe, plus fanboys will shill for free because they have rose-tinted glasses on. They hope that all the positive press will give them more of a thing they like. I would prefer a game which is in a stable state and is content rich. Cyberpunk 2077 got there in the end, despite the stupid executives over the dev team almost sunk this game with their poor decision to release in a broken fucking state!

    I've gotten back into Cyberpunk 2077; This game went from a disaster to becoming the version which should have been released! So many systems reworked, being able to ride the Metro in cinematic style, and the new story of Phantom Liberty makes this game great. It's still disappointing that the pool of romanceable characters is so small, with only one gay man in the entire line up. At least the other parts of Cyberpunk 2077 are so much stronger, like the lore about the Cyberpunk universe; talking about the game makes me want to continue my Phantom Liberty play session!

    Vampire Survival Game V Rising Launches Into 1.0 This May Before It Hits PS5 Later This Year
  • Currently, the only way you can play V Rising Offline is by putting the Steam Client in Offline mode.

  • Warner Bros. focusing on mobile and free-to-play instead of "volatile" AAA console games
  • sigh Well, it shows they learned absolutely nothing about their misstep with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game. J.B. Perrette and the executives meddled with this game and soiled it due to their rampant greed; if only they'd left the developers who were passionate about this project just work their magic. There are so many games in the mobile and free-to-play markets it's not likely any of WB's trash will get much traction there either.

  • Nightingale Studio 'Prioritising' Development of Offline Mode - IGN
  • An offline mode is the only way I'd consider buying and playing Nightingale; I do love survival games, but I need them to be offline adventures balanced for single-player experiences! As an introvert the last thing I want to do is encounter another person in a game.

  • New York AG says she’ll seize Donald Trump’s property if he can’t pay $454 million civil fraud debt
  • I feel like they want to be fooled at this point as well; to push their hopes and dreams on a person that is "rich" as they feel powerless in their own lives. The billionaires are running the show now, currying favor with even a strange Manhattanite failson who mismanaged all that wealth is less of an onerous ask for them. Until they feel empowered to make meaningful changes, Trump is just their figurehead of a doomed future as they won't use their collective power to make a real difference.

  • New York AG says she’ll seize Donald Trump’s property if he can’t pay $454 million civil fraud debt
  • I'd love to see this...Real consequences for this lame excuse of a human being! However, I'm sure some republicans will come to Trump's rescue as he has all of them by the balls/ovaries. A shame as this tanning spray-stained fool wields no actual power. It's his followers that hold the power of a cult.

  • Subnautica 2 will be a live service game
  • GAAS has too many negative associations with it; I feel confused as to why The Subnautica Team chose to use it in this case. They could've simply mentioned that Subnautica 2 will get regular updates until it's time for them to move on to their next project!

  • Highly anticipated indie Sims 4 rival Paralives sets early access release window for 2025
  • @mike591 I'm excited for this game because they've built up a lot of sensible gameplay elements so early on in development. The social system seems more interesting than The Sims 4, where you could become best friends and marry someone on the same day you met them (I've done this so often, even with conflicting personality traits). It takes both time and effort to befriend the other Paras! That is what I desire from a social sim, investing time into creating the story for my character and having that time feel meaningful.

  • I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provide
  • @DNU There are games I have fond memories of, but my memory of specific events is all but gone. I usually remember themes more than story details (especially for games I played years ago). I understand your lack of memory associated with Nexomon- Extinction.

  • I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provide
  • @DNU I'm close to finishing the game myself, Nexomon- Extinction has been a solid adventure! I have a higher opinion of the story only because the satire really vibes well with me!

  • I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provide
  • @EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Its fine, sometimes people don't understand one another initially. I'm verbose in my replies so that might have also been a cause of said misunderstanding.

    Yeah, Nexomon-Extinction for its price point is surprisingly free of the garbage that plagues mobile games! It shocked me as well and I found it hard to process at first. You'll have fun with this game because it challenges those who have been starved of challenge by Pokémon games! The Nexomon designs are intriguing, I'd love to pick their brains on where their inspiration comes from.

  • I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provide
  • @EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted The only reason why I'm playing this game is because there are no microtransactions or any garbage associated with mobile games in the PC version. It's a typical buy once and enjoy game, I'm not a fan of the free to play model especially how many developers choose to implement it. It's scummy, manipulative generally and that's something which needs to go away in the gaming space.

    Also, I just shared my love for the catching and collecting mechanics because it's a relaxing thing to do in times of stress for me. I didn't misunderstand you at all, we all enjoy games differently.

  • I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provide
  • @EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Personally, I catch and evolve as many as possible as I love to collect those creatures! EXP Share did lighten some difficulty in Pokémon games but most of the battles were also under tuned which compounded the issue. There were very few difficult fights in Pokémon games collectively as a result. It's sad that the Pokémon journey felt like a joyous stroll rather than a real adventure.

    Nexomon-Extinction certainly doesn't pull its punches, rewarding strategy and preparation with an earned victory every time! There are encounters that I've barely won because it's a challenge and every decision matters. Team composition and balance of types is crucial as well. Nexomon-Extinction feels like the Pokémon game that I've always wanted but was doomed to never receive because older gamers aren't the target audience.

    I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provided an answer. Leveling up my Nexomon seems like a potential slog though, I've gotten used to experience sharing in Pokémon games; I must unlearn this behavior. There are cores which can act like an Exp Share, which is nice because there are two party members that don't need to hog a large chunk of experience! I've been juggling those cores around to passively level up Nexomon which were behind in levels while using stronger creatures to tank damage.

    I appreciate the game's aesthetics because it reminds me of older Pokémon games, while remaining unique. The setting matches up with the desperate situation this world is currently in as there are settlements and camps throughout the land outside of their one big city. Humanity seems to be close to potential extinction. Nexomon Tamers are responsible for desperately keeping the wild Nexomon at bay so others can labor on in safer surroundings. I'm going to keep playing today and get further in! As the need to know what happens next is strong, I felt that similarly with Coromon too.

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - Extended Gameplay Reveal
  • All the flexibility of Bloodlines 1 is gone, it seems like we are stuck with a single character who could be from just a stingy roster of four clans. It's reported that Phyre's gender can be player chosen, I read an article about it. The writing at least seems interesting, but they only showed a small portion of the opening; The quality of the narrative and dialogue could obviously degrade as a player gets further into it. I'm honestly disappointed that The Chinese Room was even given this game to develop, they didn't seem the type to be able to pull a game of this scale off. Especially with the rich history of this iconic World of Darkness tabletop game! If anything, Larian Studios would've been a better choice. Obsidian Studios (give them an awesome budget and some additional technical help, they'd make a wonderful game too).

    I'll naturally withhold full judgement or dismissive disinterest upon reading some reviews from Gaming Sites that I trust.

  • A new study has discovered a correlation between the level of microplastics in the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium), and the consumption of chewing gum, carbonated beverages, and tea drinks.
  • ROFL There quite a few of us who do! I've been having a great cup of Darjeeling tea in the morning with breakfast for quite a while. Admittedly plastic bottled teas are more commonly enjoyed by more people which is certainly the cause of increased microplastic consumption. It's rare to see bottled tea in a glass container (at least in my area of the USA).

  • Switch version of Persona 3 Reload isn’t planned, Atlus would need to discuss it
  • I'm more than happy about the Xbox version of Persona 3 Reloaded...It shocked me that Xbox was getting some more Atlus love! If anything, I would hope Atlus saves the effort for a successor to the Nintendo Switch, which seems to be in the hands of some dev studios (based on rumors).

  • Multiplayer being 'considered' for Cyberpunk 2077 sequel says CD Projekt
  • If it's optional, I don't mind if multiplayer is being considered. However, I want them to focus fully on making a rich single-player experience (my personal preference for games) as a lot of games that just shoehorned in multiplayer were lacking in the single-player experience. My interest is always diminished by the mention of multiplayer, I will take a wait and see approach when this sequel is released and reviewed before forming a real opinion.

  • www.pcgamer.com Baldur's Gate 3 looks like it's gonna eat Starfield's lunch when it comes to romances

    Whether you're all about enormous druid guys who can turn into bears or going on dates with hellspawn, there seems to be something in Baldur's Gate 3 for everyone.

    Baldur's Gate 3 looks like it's gonna eat Starfield's lunch when it comes to romances

    This game is going to be amazing; I love the direction Larian Studios is going with handling man on man relationships. It felt so organic...Quite fun as well!
