I finished both Nioh games. Sekiro was considerably more difficult for me.

That's hardly surprising.

Yeah cloud gaming when it's enabled as a value add (like Gamepass Ultimate) is good, but trying to make your entire value proposition be cloud gaming focused just isn't going to work yet IMO.

I mean, yes. But the full refunds have to be a little surprising.

Not the PC port I was looking for but like to see more and more ports. Do Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart next!

Microsoft has finally got around to doing a Canada update for Flight Simulator. The video is impressive but they mislabeled so many things. It's especially galling that they mistook downtown Calgary for Edmonton.



The video is now private. I guess they realized they ####ed up.

I think Ghost of Tsushima has to be next. Or Last of Us Part I.

I'm not great at fast, twitchy FPS games anymore either. I just bought EFT and so far I am really enjoying it.

Read that practicing runs is a good way to start to learn maps, mechanics, ect. Also read that starting out as a scav and picking up loot is the way to go. Also heard I'd die lots.
So far I've run probably a dozen raids as a scav and have yet to die. Worth noting I don't engage PMC characters, run away typically and try to get out with my loot. Im sure my time is coming.
One raid I spawned near a bunch of dead scavs and PMC characters. Escaped with some tricked out ARs and SV98.
Really having fun with this FPS.

Should have explained better.

The fight mechanics are the exact same . The story is 100 % original and I legitimately teared up at the end. Legitimately was super sad. Did not like . Unsubscribe.

Almost finished guardians of the galaxy that I snatched up on epic for free. Marvel is killing it linking story's that link tho the cononical timel8nes as the comics
Can not wait for morals story line to be ported . Absolutely no hesitation buy when it comes to pc.

I played through both Ori games again recently. Will of the Wisps definitely has to be the top of my list of best looking 2D games of all time. It's also really apparent playing it right after Blind Forest how much they improved pretty much everything, especially the controls. The escape sequences are still annoying, but there's definitely less cheap death spots in them.

One thing I didn't notice as much my first time playing Will of the Wisps is how structurally similar to Blind Forest it was. It had been a while since I had played it before trying the sequel, but back to back it's more apparent. The most obvious is how the last area is literally a purple Mount Horu.

the new Dead Space trailer is looking amazing.

I played this years ago when it first came out and found it great (and unsettling) so I am really looking forward to this remake.
