The complete edition with the DLC included (normally priced at $30 by itself) is $37 on cdkeys right now.
I bought Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate and Dead or Alive 3 on my Series S. I can't get over how well they hold up today, especially DoA2U.
I finally got Cyber Punk Phantom Liberty but I haven't played it yet. I picked up Tiny Tina's Wonderland on sale and it's consuming a lot of my time. It's not great, but I guess even a mediocre FPS can suck me in. I suppose I like it better than Borderlands 3 just because of the story and narration aspect. Some people say it's worse for the same reasons.
I downloaded the "next gen" update for Fallout 4 so I can play it on my ultrawide monitor without it being distorted, but I've discovered the font is so outrageously large that I can't see the text to even name my character at the beginning of the game and you can't seem to adjust the font size in the Settings. Bethesda...Bethesda never changes. I'm sure I can fix this by getting into an ini file but am too annoyed to bother right now. How could they screw something up that is so basic? Unreal.
I've been playing a decent amount of Stellar Blade over the past few days, and my initial impressions are around 8/10 game, very good for a new IP from a developer that previously made mobile games. The combat system is very solid, it looks fantastic and runs well, and in general it is fun to play. It has a few rough edges, including the limited platforming I've experiencing being very rough and frustrating and one of the most exasperating mini-games I've encountered where you need to be a rhythm game grandmaster or just suffer attrition for an hour until you get randomly lucky and complete it. After the first few areas, you encounter a much more open area where I've been playing, a large desert map. Difficulty is pretty tough but not as rough as the most hardcore hack and slashers like Ninja Gaiden or DMC on harder difficulties, and there is an Easy mode if you just wanted to coast more through the game (definitely not my thing, but it's there for those who want that). There are lots of side quests in the open area and town and a decent variety of upgrades. It's not quite in the tier to contend for GOTY but will probably get many Action Game of the Year nominations and maybe some wins. It seems extremely likely this game will get a sequel.
I want to try it but I have horrible flash backs to rando match making in Left for Dead 2. This might be worse because team killing is on.
Marvel Midnight Suns I bought this on a whim and a steam sale. It's not amazing, but I also went for 3.5 hours on my first play so I guess it's good enough. It's a turned based tactile X-Com style RPG with Marvel super heroes.
I was remembering the launch of Sega Dreamcast launched on 9-9-99 25 years ago that was Thursday i remember going to Electronic Boutique to get my long waited console and remember getting with the game Sonic Adventure and Blue Stinger and right now i'm playing Sonic Adventure in my dreamcast., Yes still have the console.. Wow! that was 25 years ago ...i'm getting old.
I've been playing the new Astro Bot game. It's even a bit better than I expected. I think Team ASOBI is the only team that can genuinely complete head to head with Nintendo's best Mario games. Performance looks locked at 60 fps. Design is fantastic. Art style is beautiful and charming. This is currently the highest rated game in 2024 besides the Elden Ring DLC, which is also excellent but is not a full game.
