No Man's Sky. It is arguably a better game now than they even promised before the disaster of a launch. They keep doing tons of free content updates and mini expansions. They went from a laughing stock in the industry to being one of the most respected.

 

I really enjoyed Ori and the blind forest. I got about halfway through the 2nd game and cancelled my Xbox game pass for PC sub, so I need to buy that when it's on sale.

Right now I'm playing Borderlands 3. Picked up the ultimate edition on steam for $50. Very fun game. Easily the best in the series as far as gameplay goes. Story-wise I think it's fine. It has some great moments and some meh moments. As far as the DLCs go, so far I've only completed the Handsome Jackpot Heist, which was pretty awesome. I waited to do the DLCs until I hit 65, which I did about 3/4 through True Vault Hunter Mode (new game +).

I'm playing Zane, with a kill-skill build (Nuclear Winter 2.0) and he just absolutely shreds everything with the right weapon. I mainly use a M6 Hellwalker and M6 Hellshock. I need a better corrosive weapon for armored enemies though.

 

@sphinxvc Overall, I prefer the setting of Bloodborne and the mechanics of Sekiro. But, they're both amazing games.

To beat a game 4 times, do all the endings, get Platinum, and STILL want to go back to it says a lot.

The new Reflection of Strength and Gauntlet of Strength settings in Sekiro are great if you just want to go on a boss-battle binge.

 

Just bought Resident Evil Village on PC. Installing right now.

Anyone else playing this? This should be good. Haven't played anything for a loong time. Could use a break from work.

 

Although I don't put much trust in press score at Metacritic, user score is a different story. People really dig RE8, so you should have a blast.

 

I think this is a blend of RE4 and RE7, probably more on RE4, which I don't mind at all. Both are them are great in their own way.

Just finished downloading. Gonna kill some zombies now

 

80% of my reason to play the game is to fapp to the 9ft vampire lady

 

Aah already did that from the trailers...

 

Ah, you're a man of culture then

If I had to name just one RE I consider as best, RE4 would easily get my vote. It's not even about horror vibe (more action than horror tbh) but sheer amount of time I played this game. Even writing about it makes me want to play it again

 

Village has been pretty cool so far, looks sick even in semi HDR on the Samsung G7, def a game that commands a strong contrast performance of the display, looks amazing on OLED too. Some of the best textures I've ever seen in a video game. Gameplay may not appeal to all RE purist but I like it a lot.

 

Very much RE4 alike, isn't it?

 

I def get RE4 vibes thrown in with some RE7. I found RE after 4 to be going to far into a different direction but REV is more of the hybrid we needed. More DLC of the big women please

 

That's what most males into RE would now want

On a side note, Biomutant shapes up to be a very enjoyable game.

 

I never played Mass Effect and I see there is a remake available now. Is it worth picking up?

 

Yes, as long as you are patient with it. Not quite an RPG, not quite a shooter. The first game had the best story and atmosphere, but was almost broken in many gameplay ways. The remaster has made it much better in that regards, but it still is rough compared to the second two and any modern shooter. I first played them several years after the third came out and it is easily my favorite PC series ever despite the jankiness. You don't have to be a completionist, but the more time you spend talking to your squad mates and doing any related missions, the better an experience you will have.

 

I've been watching a few Twitch streams since I'm okay with spoilers. Doesn't seem bad but I admittedly haven't played much Resident Evil
