Thanks, @phil bottle I've fallen well far behind posting episodes here. Spam post incoming...
-
I read yesterday that they are backtracking now. We talked about it a bit on the podcast this past week too. I'd expect nothing less from a guy who worked at EA.

Ok. I'm probably in the minority here. But, I'm really not liking this so far. I'm not really hooked on the story at all. I'm not a fan of the menu/inventory system. Disappointed with the starship control, and star map. Ship combat sucks. The 30 fps lock on series X is sad too. I hope it picks up, but I had more fun with The Outer Worlds then this.

@Rumelyladystarted playing the other day. She's been enjoying it, but it hasn't been really sucking her in. We'll see if she sticks with it. I'm gonna start soon, honest, I swear!!!
-
Yeah, it didn't hold my interest for long. I suppose that also has much to do with BG3, Sea of Stars, and Starfield. It felt very basic. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but if not, oh well.
-
I'm gonna get to this eventually. Once I'm finished with Sea of Stars, I'll dive in. I've heard a lot of mixed things about it, but reviews seem to be ok.

At long friggin last!!! I have been waiting for Sea of Stars since it’s announcement, and now that I’ve got it in front of me, hot damn, this is far better then I expected!! This game is a masterpiece!! The graphics, sound, music, and gameplay are spot on! It reminds me of Chrono Trigger and super Mario rpg from the SNES days. Timing a button press when your attack hits gives a boost to damage. Same goes for defending when an enemy attack’s about to hit. A lot of the special moves have contextual button presses to either keep them going or power them up. I won’t spoil the story, but this is a prequel to Sabotage Studios other game, The Messenger. Easily my game of the year so far. If you’re a fan of classic Jrpgs, check this one out.

This little beauty dropped last week, and if you're a wrestling fan, you really need to check it out! There are many wrestler cameos from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. The gameplay is a classic RPG style closer to that of super Mario RPG from the SNES. As you attack, you can time button presses to do more damage or negate it on the defensive side. It's been great so far, holding me over until Sea of Stars drops. Only $30 too. It's on everything.

I've been slow-rolling the hell out of this one, mostly due to other games coming out and/or life stuff. I'm just before the final encounter, and I'm polishing up on some side quests before I finish the story.
-
I noticed this one was in early access with the purchase of the base bundle. It looks like an action/hack-and-slash RPG with a WoW or Darksiders look to it. It's received a lot of negative reviews due to some server issues and all that fun usually associated with MMOs. I may end up checking it out. @Rumelylady even wants to give it a go.

I whistle these tunes at work most days. You could use these tunes as the soundtrack for my life. Lol
-
Yup, I agree with everything @Luseth said. I'm also really enjoying the game. The story has some really dark, Game of Thrones-ish story that's clearly aimed at a mature audience. The big, epic boss battles are really cool to roll through. My only gripe is just how linear the whole thing is. I never really feel like I can go out and explore the world outside of a story or side mission. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting a typical Final Fantasy experience.

ONE YEAR!!!!!!!! Episode 52 is LIVE!! We talk about Baldurs Gate 3, FF 16 and do the Hot Ones Challenge for our 1 year.

Episode 51 is LIVE!! I've been sick as a dog this week, so Sarah and Adrian are doing all the work this week.

Each system has its own thing in this gen. So far at least. Xbox with game pass is too good of a value for any gamer. In Canada, they also have a deal with a payment plan that let's you grab a series x, 2 years of ultimate game pass, and it's $45 CDN a month for 2 years. That instantly saves people from burning a massive hole in their wallets so yay! PS5 has had some huge, first-party epics that have been memorable but I haven't gone back to replay any of them save for starting a new game plus on Ghost of Tsushima. Nintendo has their first-party stuff that almost always ranks well. PC has been fairly consistent with a lot of options for new experiences, and the old reliable ones. The steam deck makes it a great portable option now. I've honestly been all over the place with gaming as of late. I just kind of go where the next one takes me. Currently, PS5 and FF 16, but come next week, that could change.
-
I also finished the demo this morning and pre-ordered. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but I really enjoyed the free movement combat. The DMC similarities are apparent, but it also reminded me of the FF7 remake combat a tad too. Im looking forward to diving into this one Thursday.
-
I don't think I'll be playing this. I wasn't impressed with cyberpunk at all. Other games just did the formula better. Also, did anyone else think Keanu sounded a bit rough with the reveal trailer?
-
Damn... some of these shares bring back all the memories of playing them. I can picture exactly where I was while playing them for the first time.
-
3 episode update with the big 5-0 hitting this week!! Life has been busy as hell, my apologies. I'll try to be more quick with updates.
-
Yea, this.
-
Putting it on my “To play” list. Excellent review @Luseth
-
There is. @Zaxzarset one up. Forever Gaming
