Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. I played Remake back on PS4 when it came out, but have been wanting to go and replay it forever. Never got around with the Yuffie stuff, and with Crisis Core and FFXVI around the corner, I figured it was time

Disco elysium . I'm in love with this game so far

man i havent been able to get into it. the music and tones of dialogue put me to sleep lol. in a calming way not a boring way

Ive been putting it off for a while now but i got really high and randomly decided to jump in and it kinda clicked

okay that makes sense. sometimes you need that uninhibited mind

does that have any combat? isn't that more like LA Noire, TellTale type games?

I been looking at Divinity: Original Sin 1-2, and Baldur's Gate

Been playing Halo 1-3 on the Halo MCC with my buddy.

Back when games were fun & not just a plan siphon your wallets.

It's a little bit more than those, but yeah no combat. Its all dialogue with skill checks within the dialogue.

Divinity fire tho if you want somethin with combat Those games are great

Judgement - 6/10

A six is truly the worst score you can give something, isn't it? If you give something a four or lower, at least it is bad enough that you can properly dislike it and have some sort of emotional catharsis by dunking on it. A five is fine too, because you know it never had a chance of being truly good, and you have already resigned yourself to the fact that it's just going to be a nice little time waster that is neither good nor bad. Seven and above is self-explanatory; they're good, and you're glad you went out of your way to finish them. But a six? You can't talk about how amazing it is. You can't talk about how terrible it is. You can't talk about having no real opinion on it. All you can really say is, "Ya, it was alright." What a nightmare scenario.

Anyways, Judgement was alright. It brings back the brawler gameplay of Yakuza with some flimsy detective gimmicks like lockpicking, tailing, investigating, etc. The majority of the detective gimmicks were just kind of there and neither added nor detracted from the experience, but the tailing gimmick was atrocious. It destroyed any sense of momentum the game was building up, and was incredibly immersion breaking. It's hard to take the whole situation seriously when the person you're tailing turns around, and you have to do a complete 180 and run behind a piece of cover while you're in full view of them. I'd probably slap a 7/10 on this if the tailing mechanic didn't exist.

Kamurocho is as vibrant as ever. I loved the friend system and being able to see the side characters that I befriended throughout the game walk around the city. Just being able to think to myself, "Hey, there's the landlord," as I walk down the street makes me feel a lot more connected to the game than walking past a bunch of essentially faceless NPCs. It was a nice touch to add character skills that encouraged you to engage with the city, such as skills that increased your EX gauge whenever someone you befriended greeted you on the street or whenever you stopped to take a smoke at a smoking spot.

The way side quests were incorporated was something I also appreciated. Something I didn't like about the Yakuza series was that side quests were randomly picked up whenever you stumbled upon them as you travelled around Kamurocho. The problem with that was that if you were in a particularly intense section of the story, it was immersion-breaking for your character to drop everything and get dragged into a side quest if you happened to come across one. Putting all the side quests on a request board that could be looked at whenever I felt I had the time let me progress the main story and side quests at a rate that I thought would make the most sense.

Speaking of the main story, it was actually pretty good. It's definitely in the top 25% of the RGG Studio games. I know the story in some RGG Studio games can randomly go off on tangents, and sometimes they get a little ambitious with trying to tell the stories of multiple characters at once, which never really feels that well executed, but Judgement's story was pretty laser-focused. Shoutout to Hamura; he was a sensational character who stole the show every time he appeared.

Replaying gta v story for the first time since it came out

you posting this made me realize i've played this story on ps3, ps4, and ps5

crazy how long this game has been out

Been playing a lot of tom clancy rainbow six siege.. super fun

Finished Callisto Protocol now playing Tales of Arise

I’m playing tales too. I started pretty strong and logged a good 7 hrs week 1. But then haven’t touched it in weeks. Sucks bc it’s taking me a long time to get the rest of the characters that it’s become un-engaging

I thought I was going to feel this way as well after a bit, but I'm still enjoying my time so far. I finished the second lord and have a full party of 4 now

Finished Doom 2016. Didnt expect to finish that game so quick. Took me one and a half days. Now im playing Doom Eternal and I think im already almost finished

Beat Eternal. Now what do i play

Which one did you prefer?

Eternal definitely. Felt like 2016 was too short and kinda easy.

Eternal is 2016 but an actual good upgrade and was a little challenging

Same I think. Loved both tho

I think Eternal for me was the perfect idea of a sequel. It felt like Doom still but with a few good tweaks/changes to expand on it

Hoping for a new one

Currently Im back to Isaac

600 hours in still one of the best games in my life

I totally agree but I had to legit quit that game a few years back lol, it's genuinely too addictive

I wanna try to get into dead cells next

seems like it might be up my lane

currently hooked on World War Z Aftermath

i bought it like a week ago i know im a bit late but i'm having so much fun playing it
