Just started Yakuza Kiwami and the first three substories I've done all involve women (and one crossdresser) trying to seduce Kiryu in order to steal his shit.
?
 
Been dabbling some more with Game Pass, and have been playing Wasteland 2, Snake Pass, and Shadow Complex.

Wasteland 2 is a unique & fun experience, fuck the controls in Snake Pass, and playing Shadow Complex again is nice.
 
I’ve been trying to find a perfect cougar pelt in RDR2 for the last satchel and I think they must know I’m after them, because I have yet to find a 3 star pelt.
 
Excuse my spergshill, but this Call of Cthulhu game based on Chaosium is fucking incredible and I'm only on chapter 2 so far. If you're into Lovecraft based stuff, I'd recommend looking into this.
 
Ace Combat games: Assault Horizon and AC5: The Unsung War via emulator. Assault Horizon is basically Call of Duty: Modern Warfare turned into a flight sim. All in all a good game, despite its bad rep.
Compared to Assault Horizon, Ace Combat 5 is hardcore - I can't even pass early missions like White Bird p.1 (defending the spaceport) on easy difficulty. Holy fuck.
 
Finally got around to finishing Xcom 2. I started it like 2 years ago and never realized I was only a few hours from beating the game. I did start a few runs since then but never intended to beat them. I was trying to see how far I could get with only rookies and conventional firearms.
 
I just picked up Thumper on the PS4 store because it was on sale for $5 (until 03/01) and looked pretty cool. I've become addicted to it in a very short period. You're a space bettle fighting against these weird horrors with rhythm mechanics while traveling at supersonic speeds. Here's the first thirty minutes someone uploaded:

Out of curiousity, is base management in that game as harsh as it was in Enemy Unknown?
 
Finally started playing Far Cry 5, because I'm old and time is precious.

Dusted off some old Metal Gears the other weekend. Likely won't finish them.

I don't think it was but most of my rooms were built long before I started playing again so I don't remember all the details. On the plus side excavating space for the rooms tends to get you supplies or alloys and you can always remove rooms you don't need anymore. You also have engineers that you can use to reduce construction and excavation times or put them in rooms to increase productivity. I ended up finishing with 3 spaces without rooms and almost twice the power I needed and more then enough open radio contact slots. Granted this was the vanilla game I don't know how many rooms were added in War of the Chosen.
 
I ended up giving No Man's Sky another shot after I found it for 10 bucks. So far it seems like they actually did make the game a lot better. I'm actually invested in my survival for one and it's nice to just run around in space.
 
Had that Thief game that came out in 2014 in my backlog for a long time, and decided to try it out.

So far, it's alright. Sort of a unique experience to focus on breaking into houses at night and robbing them dry.
 
Picked up Dead Cells for the PS4, and kicking myself for not getting this sooner. Its a wonderful little game with some amazing music.
 
Sims 4, modded to hell and back with the new expansion. Also Wastland 2. I was a backer so I have the Director's Cut and just now I resolved to start playing it. Also Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
 
Prey: Mooncrash
Very fun DLC, takes a lot of practice and planning to really nail a run on all 5 characters, just got it for the first time today. Unfortunately the game starts to feel "solved" once you've done many of the objectives at least once. It's still fun to optimise your route and figure out what order to complete what objectives in with what character, where you'll leave behind items for your next guy's route and things like that. It's cool. I just wish you could drop chipsets and the propulsion pack like you can drop any other item. It sucks when you find a propulsion pack or a really nice chipset on a character early on that you'd like to use later on a different character, but you can't bring it back to a more accessible location for that later run because picking it up just consumes it, even if it's a duplicate it just disappears into video game nothingness because you pressed F on it.

Just started Prey the other day, been having a lot of fun with it. Picked up the bundle with Mooncrash so good to hear its not bad. In other news I just stayed playing Hellblade: Seanua's Sacrifice.

I walked into the game with no knowledge of anything but the story and the fact that it looked pretty cool. I made the mistake of wearing headphones while I was playing it. My head is still a little fucked up. Otherwise decent game so fast though.
 
I grabbed the original Postal today since it is only like $2. It's pretty unique considering what the series would later become; it's very fucked up and disturbing considering that it's blatantly about a crazy dude going on a shooting spree, and the only goal of each level is to murder people. And I think what separates it from Hatred is that Hatred was cringeworthy edginess while Postal is more sick and twisted edginess. I don't see how anyone could make a game like Postal in today's climate (excluding Hatred, since that's more unintentionally funny than disturbing). I mean shit, they couldn't even use the original ending in the remake.

I was worried about the controls since I'd been hearing how bad and clunky they are, but maybe it's because I downloaded it from GOG which seemed to have already rebound the controls, but they're bearable. Not the greatest, but I can work with them.
 
I'm playing Victoria 2 and still don't know jack shit on how the mechanics work.

All I know so far is that you have to tax the shit out of the the poor and make them miserable so that they want to become bureaucrats.

If anyone of you know how to play this game, please direct me to some beginner friendly guides, preferably videos.
