Battlestar Galactica Deadlock. I'm a massive BSG fan, so getting to order around colonial fleets and blow up toasters is a frak of a good time. The story hasnt been that bad either so far.
 
Gave Yakuza a rest and been hopping between the Arkham games and MGSV. 100%'d Asylum ain't no way in hell I'm gonna bother doing that with City or Knight. While for MGSV I been moping up Side-Ops and developing weapons.
 
Nehrim, just found somebody else talking about it in this thread via search and wanted to talk about it. Basically its a total conversion of oblivion but its its own RPG with an amazing story, world, and very fun gameplay. The only problem is that it leaves a lot of the original TES terminology in unlike Enderal, its shitty sequel.
 
Conan: Exiles

Conan: Exiles was free on PS+ a few months back and I finally got a chance to play around in it. Its great, easily the best game I've played this year. Its a brilliant combination of Breath of the Wild and Minecraft, where you get dumped naked in the desert and have to figure out how to survive in a world where everything is trying to kill you. I wish I had unlimited free time because the size and scope of the game easily makes it a 100+ hour experience.

The Good:
-no direction. The game doesn't hold your hand. It doesn't tell you where to go, what to do or how to do it. Your experience in Conan: Exile is wholly determined on how you approach the game.
-levels and stats. Stat points and levels are limited, and if you throw them around arbitrarily you will fuck yourself over.
-endless customization. The game allows you to create your own server, so you can make the game as hard or as easy as you want, cut out some of the less fun grinds, or turn the nudity to max and throw the biggest virtual orgy of all time.

The Bad:
-the game is janky as fuck. You will constantly throw punches that don't land. Enemies will jerk around and disappear. Official servers will crash unexpectedly.
-DLC. There's a lot of dlc for this game. I don't know if any of it is worth it, but thankfully none of it seems too important.

Rating - 9.5/10
 
I bought that FFXII remake they made for Switch. I remember playing it as a kid and liking it and even being able to find the special edition for sale for like 20 bucks at gamestop (and being kind of shocked because I wasnt really following the reception of that game since I was like 15 at the time)--but I have a bad habit of being ADD as fuck and never finishing games, so Im trying it again.

I like the world of Ivalice and its setting and they did a decent job showing some of the lands from other games like Tactics and FFIX in some of the maps during exposition but I can kind of see some of the bigger complaints people had now.

I remember walking into one of the major cities like Ironforge or The Undercity for the first time in WoW and being blown away at how it all felt like a real city and not just "a big place where most people hang out in one area and you never need to go anywhere else except for talking to this one NPC for a quest" and cities in the game, like Rabanastre really recapture that for me, which is something I love in video games.
 
Just bought the DLC for A Hat in Time and am currently playing through it. I love this game but man I forgot how awful the camera is in this game, especially in the Seal the Deal DLC.
 
Replayed and beat Red Dead Redemption 1 a few weeks back, and currently grinding on Warframe while waiting on the new Metro Exodus DLC to drop so I can't get my sweet sweet dopamine from the eastern bloc. Thinking about getting into SS13

Finished Uncharted 4 and really enjoyed it. The story was engaging and the environments were be.
 
Picked up Yomawari: Long Night Collection recently. Apart from the shitty save system I really like it. The cutesy graphics are a nice contrast to the really fucked up themes in the game.
 
Fire Emblem Three Houses

I'm doing the Fuck the Church route now.
 
Started playing through Fire emblem fates, going through the Birthright storyline right now.
 
Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution

It's nice to get back into children's card games since it got too pricey to keep going with physical cards but goddamn is the campaign mode more like campain mode. You have to suffer through ludicrously unfair duels to get to shit you know how to play.
 
I have returned to my beloved Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I kind of suck at it but its really fun anyway. Don't think there's anything truly comparable. I know there's newer ones but they just don't have that magic.
 
R.A.D. or RAD, on the Switch. Has a lot in common with Enter the Gungeon I guess, it's an 80's themed post-apocalyptic wasteland, but with a "Zombie Ate My Neighbors" vibe, in the diagonal, three-quarters view Diablo 3 has. Levels are procedurally rogue-like with elevation and lots of pits you could fall off of, and you go around smashing mutants with a bat until you're absorbed enough bad radiation that you start getting mutations, like bat wings for gliding, a rigid boomerang arm, a tail with a cloaca that shits out eggs that instant hatch into baby pets that have your head but Stewie's tentacles in that one Y2K Family Guy episode(this power is fucking broken and fun, btw). Pretty good for a Doublefine(LOL)® game that's only 20 bucks. Good soundtrack, decent graphics, faces are a little Tumblr-ey with fat noses and extreme diversity shoved in your face. If you die your magic tech bat comes back to town and another kid takes your place so there's a soft permadeath aspect to runs. Games tough if you don't get a ranged attack or pets early on, so it's pretty challenging on melee until you get some upgrades.

Agree. 5 was pretty good I thought, but on launch it was unplayable in multiplayer because of crashes/save file corruption problems that took a long time to patch in. We still played it though, with no expectation of ever properly clashing or finishing because games are like 40 hours.
