That was supposed to be COVID. It wasn’t enough.

Seconding Dying Light 1 and Borderlands 2. Excellent games! If you’re open to 3rd person, Helldivers 2 and The Division 2. No idea about DRM, though.

Funny, I feel like it could use one. I felt like part 1 concluded nicely. Part 2 did as well, but it felt more open. There are multiple characters that were important to the story that are doing their own thing now.

Based on what you said, these are not required for you to do your job, only for you to improve your position. It is not unreasonable for you to use personal time for self-improvement. It’s also not unreasonable for you to use company downtime for self-improvement.

Honestly, I forgot about the puzzles in Fenix Rising. All I can remember was Zeus not shutting the fuck up. Apparently they eventually released an update that allows you to tune that down. Honestly, it wasn’t a bad game. It wasn’t a great game either.

Immortals Fenyx Rising

I would never think to describe that game as Zelda-like. Because you can climb things?? Why not call it Assassin’s Creed-like at that point?

Thomas was Alone

I didn’t realize that Netflix actually bought the studio. I just thought they licensed the game or something.

This is my biggest problem. I don’t like the real-time combat. When I originally played the demo of part one of the remake and discovered it was real-time combat, I went into the settings to change it to turn-based, only to discover there was no such setting. Stopped playing pretty soon after that.

newly announced Beyond: Two Souls television serie

Acquired by Elliot Page’s company, which is apparently “surprising” despite the fact that he was the main character.

Is it a wine bottle opener? Squeezing the handles drives the screw down?

People are going to shit on me for this, but Fallout 76. I spent hundreds of hours playing that, and enjoyed the social aspect. Jumping into activities with other players and getting to see their camp creations and sharing my own was a blast.

I don’t have TikTok. Anyone here have it and can confirm this themselves?

we need a real threat first. Not one of two places but several across local and national.

*gestures broadly*

*new parties. Plural.

If you can’t play with a light gun, what’s the point?

Destiny 2’s player count continues to dwindle significantly. The free-to-play game has lost 90% of its player base on Steam since June 2024.

open world action RPG Wuthering Waves

Ghost of Tsushima felt the same to me. Great characters and a beautiful world, but the gameplay felt bland. I was happy to finally get to the end because I didn’t have to play anymore.
