I just watch a Balatro YouTuber to get my Balatro fix, I went about as far in it as I was willing to put time into.

Anyone getting borderlands 4 in a week or so?

My wife and I enjoyed the 3rd one a lot but after the campaign we both hardly played it. I just have a hard time swallowing the $90 price tag (x2 for each of our PCs, it’s couch coop for consoles) for a campaign only. The 3rd game had some decent replayability but once my build got nerfed into the ground I gave up.

Will definitely play it but not probably not as a day 1 full price purchase.

That’s kinda my thoughts too, I didn’t get $90 of enjoyment out of Borderlands 3 so waiting for a steam sale will probably be what I do.

The Gearbox CEO said we'd be happy to pay $80 US to play it, but had to retract that, for good reason. I don't think I'll be buying it any time soon, even though I liked the previous games.

I know it's old news, but what is up with controller drift with the PS5?? I almost feel like I need a priest to perform an exorcism on my controller at this point.

Look at getting some replacement Hall Effect or TMR sticks. There are guides on YouTube that show you how to swap them out.

It's crazy that companies like 8bitdo can sell great controllers that don't drift for less money than first party controllers.

Squad updated to unreal engine 5.5. Had some trepidation but it's looking really good. Frames are actually good if you have a chonky computer. Everyone was worried about optimization but now they mostly just have to fix a few bugs. Nice upgrade!

I bought Silksong even though I don't intend to play it. I'm hoping AAA studios start to get the hint that putting heart into games can be a successful strategy.

Why don't you intend to play it?

Anyone played any of the Eugen titles? Steel Division 2, Warno or Red Dragon.

I was briefly top 100 in Red Dragon a few years back, but I am back to getting my ass kicked in Warno ranked.

I play a bit of the first one. I suck at those games and don't have fun playing them.

Did you play the DLC? I just realized I did not!

(I'm assuming yes as I recall you did like 11 play-throughs?)

Thank you! Somehow missed this response the other day, I'm definitely going to look into that.

Played a bit of NHL 26 using the 10 hour trial via EA Play. Gotta say, I wasn't expecting much and was still disappointed. Gameplay feels worse than NHL 25, and 'updates' to the existing game modes are essentially cutscene and dialogue changes. Genuinely feels like a minor patch vs. a brand new game.

I've bought the new NHL on release every year since probably NHL 12, and at this point I'm likely skipping 26, or at least waiting until it's heavily discounted.

Thanks.. ugh. I can't stand 25.. if you're D forget skating backwards and trying to be a danger to the attackers like in 24. You just have to chase these little bastards around.. it's so lame
