I'm hovering over the Buy button on Cyberpunk 2077 (on Steam) has anyone played recently? have the major issues that people comlpained about at launch been fixed? is it worth playing now or should I hold off for further patches? some of these steam reviews sound terrible..

I'm really enjoying my time with No More Heroes 3, I actually re-played both games before it got released and 3rd game is a big upgrade in almost every way, especially compare to 2nd game.
The only way I see people are not enjoying this game is if they were not fan of NMH series in the first place.

Go back into Deus Ex the better game, and who knows if we'll ever get another Adam Jensen instalment

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I'm waiting. If you aren't in a rush to play it, I would advise to do the same.

Busy playing Fantasian turn based rpg on iOS. Playing via the MacBook plugged to the tv and using a Switch pro controller via Bluetooth. It plays just like a normal console game with this setup. Decent game so far.
Game is great on pc since release.

Have been playing Hades since August 13. So much fun, even though I had finished it last year. Will get the platinum in the next couple of days I think.
After that, maybe I'll resume and finish Judgment or restart Horizon Zero Dawn.

I've had a fantastic experience on the PC. Story is great, characters interesting, and world dripping with lore.

I haven't posted here in 5 months so getting caught up on what I've finished since then...
Series X:
CONTROL ~ finished base game plus the DLC and LOVED it in 60 fps! Also a big fan of the unique difficulty settings. Really helped the game be more fun and less frustrating and tedious than playing the base game at launch.
MASS EFFECT 1 ~ Legendary Edition in glorious HDR 60 fps . Played it originally back in 2007 at launch on the 360. It was, is and will always be one of my favorite games and simply one of the greatest of all time. Will play 2 & 3 eventually.
SUBNAUTICA ~ My first ever game like this and I absolutely loved it! Really looking forward to playing the sequel this Winter.
MAD MAX ~ Enjoyed this more than I thought I would or I would have played it sooner but glad I didn't so I could play it at 60 fps.
DARKSIDERS 3 ~ WHERE ARE THE PUZZLES?! I liked this game but was really disappointed at the same time when comparing it to the other Darksiders games. Hopefully we can get a worthy successor next that combines all 4 Horsemen plus great puzzles.
PS5:
GHOST OF TSHUSHIMA ~ Outstanding game and one of my all time favorites now. Really hope they can better balance the difficulty in the sequel. Looking forward to playing the DLC later.
IMMORTALS DLC: THE LOST GODS & A NEW GOD ~ Absolutely LOVE this game and its now one of my all time favorites. I did not care for the isometric camera in The LOST GODS but still really enjoyed it. I'm glad they emphasized puzzles in A New God. Can't wait to eventually dive into Myths of the Eastern Realm!
I'm currently on hiatus from Battlefield, Halo and Forza Horizon until the new entries release in a few months.
So I'm Currently playing ~
Series X :
Flight Sim, MLB The Show, Splitgate and Sniper Elite 4
PS5 :
Spiderman Miles Morales

started SW Jedi Fallen Order, wtf never expected it to be actually hard. I don't watch playthroughs, reviews or previews to not get spoiled, knew it was "dark sous" like but never thought it was actually that similar. Anyway tried and died a bunch of times against that giant toad ogdo bogdo or whatever, and then struggled against those fuckn spiders in the Nightsisters planet until reaching a part where i couldn't jump that far -_-.

I know this game is fairly old now but god damned it deserves another playthrough in time for Metroid Dread- Metroid Fusion is what I'm currently playing. It is a complete blast and I'm loving it all over again! If Dread can be half as good then I'm in for a very good time! Nintendo consistently showing me why they are the greatest in the business (if only they could give fans MORE of what we want)...

I've played quite a few games on gamepass and this was the only one that had significant issues, but there have definitely been some annoyances in the past. Control is borderline unplayable though, and the gamepass reviews reflect that.
Ironically I have a second free copy of Control that Epic gave away at one point which I could've played instead. But I figured if it's free either way, I may as well get those achievement points...didn't realize it has all these bugs.

Tormented Souls on PS5
If you love old school Survival Horror and you are sleeping on this game... DON'T, go out and buy it now.
The game is fantastic trip back to the early days of survival horror, if you like Classic Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark with a bit of Silent Hill sprinkled on top you'll love this game.
It ticks every check box, including puzzles, environment design & RE like background music and it seems to running at 60fps on PS5 too
I really do hope they make a sequel and improve upon it, because I see it being something special.
If they can get better voice acting and more realistic characters I would easily pay AAA full price for it
Only problem I have with the game is the beginning FMV looked like it used a codec from the the late 90's
Anyway I recommend this game

The Sinking City... and it's 5/10 bad. I can't even say anything good about it. At least Call of Cthulhu had great atmosphere and good writing.
The only thing that keeps me going right now is the hope that the story picks up at some point..

Was never a big fan of rogue likes. Can't remember ever beating one. But I am loving Hades right now. Everything from gameplay, systems, graphics, writing etc. is so good.

RTTP TLoZ Breath of the Wild. Master Mode. It's still a great game, but Master Mode adds context to the easily breakable weapons. Bee-lining to the master sword also helps aliviate stuff breaking and the early difficulty.
For my personal enjoyment, I try to save the sheika towers for last, forcing me to pay attention to my surroundings and I actually learn to navigate the world without relying on the map all the time.
My progression is slower, but I'm having much more fun than in my first play through. Actually having to rely on the games many mechanics instead of brute forcing and button mashing.
10/10 (in Master Mode)

I'm dabbling in a bunch of things, as both my attention span and gaming time have shrunk disproportionately to my advancing age.
PS5
Pretty much an open world machine I use when I know I have at least an hour to dedicate to a game
Ghost of Tsushima: DC - I held off on playing past the first act when it so I could fully experience the visual splendor of the world Sucker Punch created, and even though I wish I didn't have to pay the 30 EUR next gen tax, the wait was worth it. My only major gripe with the game is that skill development should have been paced better as I don't foresee that I'll gain any game changing abilities for the rest of my playthrough, and COD has brainwashed me into needing a carrot to chase in order to legitimize my efforts.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite: Like most children of the 80s this IP has always had a special place in my heart, and I haven't had this much fun decorating the walls with acidic blood since 1993's Aliens vs. Predator for the SNES. The only thing that might improve it would be forcing a first person perspective to increase the tension, as the widened FOV afforded by being in third person makes it more of a shooting gallery that it needed to be.
Days Gone - Just turned this back on after a two year hiatus and was immediately struck by the deliberate character movement was and how well layered the visuals were, both of which lulls you into this hopeful optimism that it is an open world Last of Us. Alas, the cracks become readily apparent from the moment you jump on your bike and start coasting around a world with plenty of things that want to kill you, but not much else, making it feel emptily exhausting.
AC: Valhalla - Like Days Gone, a world resplendent with aesthetic detail, but more than any AC before it I found almost nothing compelling about the rest of the game. The combat has zero impact, the characters are all hewn from the same cultural template, but I am as interested in Nordic culture as I am with feudal Japan I might continue to play it just to spite myself.
Quest 2
The best system I've owned for a pick up and play experience, as the games are tailor made for shorter play sessions and their file size ensures load times are always pretty zippy
Pistol Whip - Many have said it already, but it is the closest approximation to a John Wick simulator available for the platform, or for VR in general.
Descent Alps - A downhill skiing game that on the App Lab (Early Access) and conveys an awesome sense of speed and uses some nifty trickery to make it feel like your feet are being tracked as you are slaloming down the mountain.
Sairento: Untethered - Just picked this up yesterday and have only completed the tutorial so far, and am looking forward to putting it through its paces as it is allegedly the ultimate test of one's VR legs.
Stride - Yes, it's Mirrors Edge in VR, and replicates the feeling of wall running, sliding on your knees under pipes and soaring between buildings better than a non-VR version of this type of game ever could. But, once the novelty wears off so too does the compulsion to keep playing, but a promised story mode should reinvigorate my curiosity.

Finished playing Heaven's Vault. What a well written game with loads of atmosphere. Better story and deeper lore than most AAA games. I had a few gripes with it. It does overstay it's welcome a little bit and it ends quite abruptly. It was also hard to tell if any choices affected story at all. The game could have probably done with a bit of exposition at times to be honest, and some explanation of how choices (if they do matter) affect outcome.
Have picked up FIFA 21 after not playing it for a while. Feels more balanced now. Also it's weird how Messi is a PSG player but no other roster changes have been made throughout the game.
Started playing Shadow Complex Remastered. It feels so janky but I'm all about any game that gives you a map that shows percentage complete.

Finished Resident Evil 2, Leon A playthrough, on Easy, on GameCube (Dolphin) with the HD Project: RE2SHDP - RE Seamless HD Project (reshdp.com) . Now I'm doing a Claire B playthrough. Afterwards I'll do Claire A and Leon B playthroughs on Normal.
1 playthrough is like 2 hours. I know it's a '98 game, but I was a bit taken by surprise by this. With all 4 playthroughs (and slightly different content on all 4 playthroughs, even more so when playing on Normal OR Hard vs Easy), I guess there's easily 8+ hours of content here to see everything.
ALSO: The Darkness 1 (via RPCS3) - game finally became playable this week!

Just finished Lamentum. Solid game but does get a bit too tedious in late game and new weapons never feel like proper upgrades. Probably won't bother doing another playthrough but don't regret the purchase or time spent.
Now working through Tormented Souls. Perfect combination of effort and cheese wrapped in a classic Resident Evil/Silent Hill bun.

- Aliens: Fireteam Elite [PS5] - enjoying it for what is is, looks great and runs flawlessly at 60fps, gives me a vibe of a Dreamcast game for its simplicity and arcadey nature.
- Psychonauts 2 [XSX] - fun acid trip, too many collectables, not caring so much about the story but loving the creativity and the gameplay, not a fan of having to remap the psi powers constantly to the triggers (only 4 triggers and like 8 psi powers, why?), they should've capped it at 4 psi powers.
- Little Nightmares II Enhanced Edition [PS5] - looks beautiful, runs perfectly, getting finger fatigue from having to hold down buttons to do everything, hold square to run, hold R2 to grab, wish there was a setting to tap instead to hold. But wow the atmosphere.

I actually just finished the main comic series recently, so I decided to re-purchase Darkness 1 after beating it when it released years ago and buy Darkness 2 for the first time. Playing 2 now and I am really liking it.

Awesome! <3 Maybe after CE throw on Halo 2's campaign and teach him the melee-reload-melee (BXB) cancel. He'll turn into an unstoppable bash god =P
Btw, the same cancel is available in CE but it's BLB, maybe even more destructive haha

I plan on doing the other games with him on CO-OP as well, so that way when infinite comes out we can CO-OP it together.......I mean when they release the co-op patch.

One of my fondest social gaming memories revolves around playing Halo: CE co-op. By way of split screen you were able to see in real time what your buddy, or in this case your son, was up to and communicate, support, strategize, and bash your ways to victory! Cool stuff!

Just finished this last night near 100% completion at 25 hrs. Great game! I usually take time with my games especially new ones, but I was hooked with NMH3 from start to finish. Excellent art/character design and gameplay!
Now my wait for Metroid Dread begins......

Divinity Original Sin 2
Wow, how did I miss this gem of a game? This is the most immersive and complex RPG I've played probably ever, and I love it. It takes probably 10 hours to understand the game mechanics (and there are soooo many), but once it clicks you fall in love. I absolutely love how you can create insane builds and it feels like your imagination is the limit in class styles.
Great game, it's an isometric view which I don't love, but the game just has so many intertwining systems and possibilities, it's amazing really.
