I put in 5-10 hours when it first dropped and recall it being a solid 7. I may have been fresh off my first and only completion of BOTW, which I was lttp for.
Really hope Ciri is the protagonist in at least one of these. I like how she controlled in Witcher 3, and would love to see her doing more Witcher-ing while an elderly Geralt chills out or accompanies in a support role
@Widey85 fair. Ngl the stories in some of these games suck and/or are tedious to put together. For me it’s tight gameplay that keeps me coming back…its the most rewarding feeling in games to beat these bosses with insane move sets and double health bars. Only other thing I can compare it to is pulling through a raid in Destiny.
I’m not much for rogue lites or likes these days myself, but man - Dead Cells made it feel like I wasn’t playing a rogue type of game at all. Everything in that game felt buttery smooth
Elden Ring, nothing that’s released this year has even come close imo. Shredders Revenge was nice but it was never gonna take the top spot over Elden Ring for me.
Finished up the Flamekeeper triumph seal in Destiny 2. Think I might start House of Ashes from the Dark Pictures Anthology….or I’ll finish binging The Sandman
So….how is everyone enjoying Avengers (those who are playing it)? The mere mention of GaaS made something click in my subconscious….and I re-downloaded Destiny 2 and bought the latest expansion and went on an absolute TEAR over the last 24 hours, nearly unlocked a Triumph seal.
@Markatron couldn’t agree more. Reviews should be clean and free of the trash you mentioned. Sadly that just isn’t the way the internet works. Call me cynical I suppose.

Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Finally Releases On Xbox This December
Definitely looking forward to this one. Hopefully it’s not hard-as-balls like those fairly recent firaxis XCOM games

Re: Six Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In October 2022 So Far

Re: 'The Witcher 4' On Unreal Engine 5 Is The First Part Of A Multi-Game Saga

Re: Review: Steelrising - Spiders Serves Up A Super Solid Soulslike
@Widey85 conversely, I’m a big fan of souls likes and say keep them coming.
Not for everyone and that’s fine.

Re: Battlefield Is Bringing Back Traditional Classes, Starting With 2042 Season 3
@MoistEmphasis3 I keep hearing good stuff about that game. Might have to lfg a squad and see what’s what.
Enlisted is pretty alright, if you haven’t tried it. Not gonna blow your mind but still a decent time
Re: Review: Saints Row - A Truly Disappointing Return For The Saints
I’ll pick this up when it hits 3 bucks, just like that Agents game.

House of Ashes and Triangle Strategy

Shredder’s Revenge without a doubt takes the top spot for me.

I was hoping it’s true because the drama that unfolds would’ve made for great reading.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your 2022 Game Of The Year So Far?
Elden Ring, nothing that’s released this year has even come close imo. Shredders Revenge was nice but it was never gonna take the top spot over Elden Ring for me.

Re: Analyst Predicts Activision Blizzard Deal Could Be Finalised This Year
Not much of a prediction.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 6-7)
@Lavalera you’re gonna be alright in Elden Ring. I couldn’t get too far in Sekiro either, and I’m a hardened Soulsborne vet.
Plus the communities for those games are amazing, plenty of support available!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 6-7)
Finished up the Flamekeeper triumph seal in Destiny 2. Think I might start House of Ashes from the Dark Pictures Anthology….or I’ll finish binging The Sandman

Skipped?

Re: Pure Xbox Game Club August 2022: Marvel's Avengers
@themightyant gonna play it and try to finish I think. Just thinking of that cute little guy bouncing around the screen makes me smile
Re: Pure Xbox Game Club August 2022: Marvel's Avengers
So….how is everyone enjoying Avengers (those who are playing it)?
The mere mention of GaaS made something click in my subconscious….and I re-downloaded Destiny 2 and bought the latest expansion and went on an absolute TEAR over the last 24 hours, nearly unlocked a Triumph seal.
These things are like crack to me
Re: Deals: 400+ Games In This Week's Stacked Xbox Sales (August 2-9)
