[Video Games] What are you playing? (Omikron Edition)

My only real gripe with the game is I don't like the dialogue system. Just have the characters tell me whatever relevant info they need to say, I don't like picking responses especially if they have no effect on the outcome of the story. I also think the jumping mechanic is a little weird.

 

Man, I just finally bought elden ring for pc.... Haven't played it yet, that's something I don't like doing anymore though (extra t/s to get the game to even work). And with elden ring, without a controller it's probably as bad as other souls games, it's the one game where a controller is basically required.

 

You don't have to pick any of the flavor dialouge if you don't want to. The bottom left option is always the one to pick if you wanna get right to it.

I like it that way, no forced exposition, but there if you want it.

 

I know but I feel like I'm missing some important part of the story if I don't pick them all.

 

I'm stuck in Elden Ring. Can't figure out how to

Spoiler

try fingers but hole

 

My oldest and I started playing Kingdoms: Two Crowns: Norse Lands DLC

It's pretty fun and works really well with Xbox 360 controllers on our 65" TV via Steam Link. Gorgeous music and pixelized graphics. My 4yo and 6yo watch transfixed the entire time.

 

Once I finish Spider-Man and the DLCs and Cyberpunk 2077, should I start Elden Ring or Horizon Forbidden West? Loved the first Horizon but I'm down for uber-nerding with Elden Ring. Or should I play it safe and go into Gran Turismo 7?

Deshaun?

 

This game (Eldin Ring) is addictive (playing on PS4- no issues), I'm surprised no one else is talking about this game here. I can imagine the frustration for PC Players, that would piss me off. Some of the bosses / sub bosses in the open world are downright terrifying- like hell no I'm walking the other way- but that's the thing, you have choices now, and everyone playing will have their own unique different journey on how/what they experience- the Map is massive!. The open world has come to demon souls, def more forgiving with saving grace sites, but the doge roll strike from the back maneuver doesn't seem to work all the time now-yikes. I'm staring with prophet class- barely any weapons/armor but growing in incantations/spell options & it's a journey.

(oh yeah...you Will DIE)

 

Bought this on a whim. Never played or heard of a rogue-like dungeon crawler so I played it like there would be save points after clearing a level… Whoops.

Great game and great animation. Still haven’t beat it yet!

 

It took me 25-ish tries to clear it.

You'd think it gets stale, but the weapon variety and its upgrades makes different playthroughs a unique experience in trying to find good builds.

 

Reminds me back when I had the Taiwanese knockoff of an NES and they managed to fit 50-100 games inside a cartridge.

Though, I'm sure there are more gems than crap in this era...software never dies.

 

Going through this bundle, it's not entirely video games. There other software tools, music, books, pen and paper games and even rulesets for games that use a 52-card standard playing deck. For $10 and for a good cause, it's a no brainer.

 

On a side-but-related note, I'm starting to see RTX cards stay in stock longer and prices kinda starting to come down, though they're still way too high to me. EVGA has had 3080's, 3080TI's, and 3090's in stock a few times lately, for anyone still interested. Now I just need more of the morons mining for crypto money to quit, and normal people can build a new pc.

Anyone try Wartales?

 

Wurz the magic?! Seems interesting, I guess. I'll add it to my wishlist full of "Early Access" candidates and wait until they're "Released Access".

 

Probably magic ‘light’ like Battle Brothers.
