Yeah that's what I figured.

Working. Horrible cosmetic condition though. Figured someone out there was making replacement cases on the cheap but there's nothing out there that I saw.

Anyone with thoughts on Two Point Hospital? 50% off on Steam right now, mulling it for a while but didn't want to buy it at the 40 dollar cost. Twenty is perfect however.

It’s worth it if you’re a fan of the genre. It’s very reminiscent of Theme Hospital with humorous illnesses and treatments. It took me awhile to learn how to properly manage patients though. They seem to line up at the GPs if you don’t have a well- organized triage system. I’d look into tips to get that organized to save some frustration.

I’ve been meaning to try the DLCs. They supposedly add more customization options.

I bought the Healthy Collection during the Summer Sale. I played it during the free weekend they had and thought it was fun but like you didn't want to pay $40 just for the base game. I actually just bought the newest expansion this morning since it was 28% off on Humble Bundle.

Fired up Control last night, but only played about 30 minutes due to it being late. This game is WEIRD. I am very intrigued though and looking forward to playing more.

Just completed Metro Exodus.

I really enjoyed this game. It has its flaws but by the end I really wanted more.

Can anyone recommend a good story driven shooter for PS4? Or just a really fun 1 player game?

Control is getting a lot of love right now. I love Remedy (the developer), so I'm excited to jump into that one.

If you're looking for something atmospheric with a great story - definitely check out the Bioshock Collection if you haven't. Three amazing games and an amazing story.

Not sure how the game Metro Exodus plays out, but... Wolfenstein? (All of them)

Bioshock I'm not totally sure of. Like Prey or Dead space, both these games felt like you were piecing together an overall story and figuring out where each piece of the story is supposed to slot vs in Wolfenstein the story is revealed to you in sequence.

Although not a true shooter, Dead rising 4 is what I'm playing right now and I like how the story is revealed after each chapter/case. It feels like it is easier to pick up and put down vs other titles like Prey, which is huge because it's been pretty hard to carve out some time to really game after the birth of my son. I don't keep forgetting what is going on and I can get a recap at the end of the case in case I forget what I had been doing.

Been playing a lot of Grim Dawn co-op with my bro this week. Great Diablo style game with some good story and gameplay.

From what I've heard, Wolfenstein Youngblood is absolute garbage. The rest are cool though, especially The New Order.

Some PAX fun:



The Switch Lite looks great in person. Screen is smaller but sharp.

I've never played that one. The cover does look wonky vs the rest of the other covers, so I'll take your work for it.

I enjoyed Metro Exodus and would recommend Prey 2 as it's an extremely underrated game.

I can barely put it down, it's a very polished game with a good story that's pretty challenging at parts.

If anyone has Amazon Prime and a linked Twitch prime account you can get one year of Nintendo Online for free.

This looks really good. How am I just hearing about it?

[DownInFlames]

A “Gameplay Overview Trailer” that’s pretty much all cutscenes from what I can tell. I love the video game industry.

[OutOfTheCube]

You’re only hearing about it now because it’s very likely not especially good. Have you heard of The Technomancer or Bound by Flame? Probably not. That’s the developers last two games that looked similarly ambitious and flashy in well produced trailers and ended up being mediocre games.

WTF is that accent? Is she a Russian Aztec?
