I'm a couple of hours into Rise of the Tomb Raider. It was received well at the time (2016), looks very pretty, and is completely functional: puzzles, tombs, exploration, combat, a bit of hub world gaming, lots of crafting and upgrading your stuff, a story line with some mystery and betrayal to...

If you're not into it, and you're willing to drop it, I'd say drop it and play something that suits you better. Hellblade has some variation, but not very much of it - what you've seen so far, is what you're getting down the line as well, in general terms. I've started Rise of the Tomb Raider...

I wouldn't mind playing RDR again. If it's on Steam, then I'll eventually get it at a discount. No rush for me though, because now that RDR2 is a thing, an RDR1 port feels a bit "too little, too late". Plus, I'm not expecting any (significant) upgrades over the RDR1 versions that are already...

Two for me in April: Outcast: A New Beginning It's been a long wait between the original Outcast, and a sequel. It took a remaster, a remake, a failed kickstarter campaign and a twenty five year wait. And even now that it's out, it's obviously "merely" a AA Eurojank kind of title: quirky...

I agree, that sucks. Won't affect me, but it's still kinda amateur hour from Sony. I assume they'll be working on fixing that though.

Or, hear me out, you blast through Half-Life: Opposing Force in an afternoon, because it's been a long time since you last did that. 😅 It's pretty amazing how I've spent so much time with this when it was new, and a few times after that, but in reality it's just a three to four hour campaign.

Finished Outcast: A New Beginning and got all the achievements. It was great to be back in Adelpha, and it's also nice to finally close the book on Outcast. Twenty five years between the first game and its sequel is a long wait, I'm glad it's finally over. Also finished Metro: Last Light Redux...

Re-watching Castle, with the wife. An episode per evening is a relax-time together.

Outcast: A New Beginning was updated with the option to turn off the HUD. The game's not designed for it, but it makes the screenshots prettier. 1080p / medium details, as my GTX1080 struggles to keep the pace otherwise.

I'll wait for official news, instead of getting hyped on rumor. I loved Splinter Cell, but have since then never had a moment where I really vibed with another SC game again. If I wanted to play one now, is there a Splinter Cell game that is still good, and holds up? The first generation SC...

I haven't finished it yet, but here are my first thoughts: Returning to Adelpha is absolutely fantastic for a life-long fan like me. There are some weird changes the game has made to canon (for as far as the one game from 25 years ago can still be canon), and I'm not yet sure how they've...

I missed whatever little uptime the forums had last month. Mind adding me in again? February * Baldur's Gate 3. I'm not big on RPGs, but BG3 was enjoyable enough to see through. At a little over 100 hours, I suppose I rushed it a little, but got to see the ending. * Unreal 2: The Awakening. I...

So, this forum just won't die, thank fuck. I finished Unreal 2, "finished" Helldivers 2, finished MotoGP23, and I'm currently playing Outcast: A New Beginning. @nutcrackr is right that it starts out a little dull, and gets better over time, peaking at the "solid 7/10 Eurojank" game it was...

I've been checking in to see if the site was working for a few weeks now. Glad to see it's better than ever. Now the biggest challenge of them all: filling it with content!

U6tRpIseYCA I spent just about every Wednesday between 2005 and 2015 playing Quake Arena and/or Age of Mythology with a friend. It's unlikely we get that rebooted, but still, glad to hear this is finally announced! :heart: :drool:
