Ya i could never get into nioh... Its fine I guess but they should have leaned more into Ninja Gaiden and less into Dark Souls. Its UI design is also awful. I dont really give a poo poo about wo long for the same reason.

The Forest was good but once you got over the fear of the cannibals and caves it kinda lost its charm. Definitely worth a play through. Sons looks really good but i think I'll wait till out of early access.

Early access is fine in general but lol if you actually buy into it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/251570/7_Days_to_Die/ I've had this game on my wishlist for idk how many years. By all accounts its a good game (i wouldnt know), but its been in EA for 10 years. Lmao

Speaking of zombies i finally played RE3 remake. It really let me down at first in the city section and I almost uninstalled it then took over Carlos and I don't remember the original RE3 having this many pacing issues, crazy how much it got watered down (granted i hadn't played the original in 20+ years). Overall pretty fun game despite its flaws, definitely the weakest of the newer ones. Can't wait for 4

man I tried to play Nioh 2 again and it really is just idiot sibling to From's formula. I normally have a lot of patience for souls-likes but idk the Nioh formula just doesn't do it for me. The sound design, ux, having to ki pulse every two seconds, the deluge of loot, the unsatisfying animations / combat, high TTK on even basic enemies... so i installed sekiro and am playing through it again and, yup kicks rear end.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i don't rule out that this could be true, but not like i am such a friend of the market as it exists that this is an obviously bad thing. historically i've been a fan of steam, but tbh it could take a lot of shaking up at this rate, as its current moderation strategy is pretty bad and the overall experience is either static or in decline. I don't really know what context "moderation strategy" means but valve / steam have been killing it lately with proton and steam deck not sure how you're saying they're in decline with the platform

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i mean, comparing the steam deck to game pass is not the most obvious axis to judge things on. proton is also cool, but it is hardly the focus of the service. I guess i disagree heavily on all those points? Have you tried to use the microsoft app store? PlayStation store? Nintendo shop? They're all significantly harder to find and browse good games or games outside whatever predefined category they picked (nintendo is really bad about this). Steam is basically the only gaming storefront where i can organically find new games that interest me and are good. Ive picked up at least a half dozen smaller games this year just by browsing tags or my recommendations, most were right on the money. Sure there is a lot of shovelware and it could be improved but, in my experience they do a good job hiding it or giving you the tools to ignore it. Definitely in the greenlight era the shovelware was out of control and in your face but they've since appeared to have figured out how to hide it, at least for me. I hate browsing the PlayStation store or Nintendo store, they're completely worthless and only for going in knowing what you want already. Edit: GoG has a good store too but it helps they have a specific focus

Is there a better or even comparable storefront? circling back to the original comment that game pee rear end is "bad for the market overall", i agreed with that because Microsoft is poo poo and having them own every developer AND producer AND storefront AND platform is gonna stagnate the quality of games. That wasn't a comment (in my head) about the store front or storefronts at all but maybe thats just how i view it and not the ops intention

did y'all never play dead cells or risk of rain?

The right way to play dishonored is: Do you wanna use cool powers? Kill to your hearts content gently caress it Do you wanna play thief in 2023? No powers and no killing Its really good to treat it like thief actually and use bottles and poo poo as distractions and no powers, theres specific achievements for playing it this way too Mr. Crow fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Mar 19, 2023 |

Feel like missing out on the whole last zone or two and a few extra bosses really hampers your skill flexibility making this ending on NG a doozy. Might have been easier if i focused on one or two skill trees but i was kind of being add and went for living force first which is... Kind of garbage tbh
