Been a member here for over twenty years, but it's been a long time since the forum was active enough to be a place to call an online home. It's been a lovely run everyone.

🥲 I understand it - Discord is massively more active than the forum and it makes way more sense to have a live sheet. I filled in my measly two games finished for May, had a look around, but still feel no attraction to Discord's slowchat over forums' discussions. Eh. The almost-decade of games...

This forum has pretty much come down to just one post a month for me, and it's this one: Crackdown 3. I wanted to relive some Crackdown magic. Crackdown was one of the first open world action games of the Xbox 360 generation and I loved it so much. Hunting for orbs, generating enormous chaos...

In January I did replays of Bad North, finished the campaign for Age of Mythology: Retold, did a replay for Half-Life 2 with dev commentary, and finished Bioshock Infinite for the first time. So four finishes for me in January, even though it was two re-plays, one remake, and only one new-to-me...

The studio features lots of high-profile faces from The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, making it a direct spin-off from CD Project Red. It's still early days for this, I think.

I finished two games in December, being Half-Life 2: Entropy Zero 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Spent a lot of time in December playing Assetto Corsa Competizione, Age of Mythology: Retold, Company of Heroes 3, some Helldivers 2, and World of Tanks. Also put some time into Call of...

Always impressive what mods can do to a game. I never felt like Prey needed it, absolutely loved the game, won't ever shut up about how awesome I found it. Loved its world, its gameplay, its puzzles, its pace, even the enemies that are often criticised. And loved the DLC Mooncrash.

Two for me in November: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. A fun adventure through different worlds. Takes a while to get going and takes a little too many detours to get to the point, but does so with great graphics and attractive gameplay. Half-Life 2 mod Entropy: Zero. For a regular game, it's...

Glad this is coming! I haven't played either TLOU game since I sold my PS4 Pro in 2022(?). Haven't bought TLOUp1 yet. But I know there will be a moment where I crave going back, and I'm happy the upgraded remasters are right there on Steam, whenever I want them.

Started the Quake II expansion pack The Reckoning. I think the level designers had fun placing difficult enemies, and then forgot about health packs altogether. I'm not in that much of a mood to play Quake 2, so I'm leaving it.

MS Game Pass is an economically attractive way to play through single player campaigns that you're likely to touch just once. It's on there, right?

Just realised that this is one of the few games on the market that requires RTX. Not just for show, but as a minimum requirement. That means that I'll be skipping Indy for the foreseeable future. My GTX1080 may be practically ancient by now, it's still going strong in just about everything I...

The art director is trying to pick a fight with the online anti-woke mob, where I think that would probably have been entirely avoidable. The game features choices in your pronouns, which isn't something to get so worked up about, but very vocal people are being very loud about it. It's a...

Started and finished the Half-Life 2 mod Entropy: Zero. It's decent enough.

Avowed has, from day one, felt like a game that's going to be largely ignored, and live out its life as a niche title for RPG fans. I'll wait and see what people say before even considering jumping in, even though jumping in means little more than "take game pass for a month".
