Finished. Enjoyed it very much. Probably the strongest DLC I've played in recent years.
Dead Space Remake
Amazing experience. Just about a perfect remake. Will definitely play new game+ in the future
Think I'll play The Medium next. Trying to play lots of horror games this spooky season.

I tried it last year and a this was precisely my experience. I had been looking forward to it for awhile.
...
I'm now playing armored core 6 and it's glorious.
Trying to finish up certain things because we are going to start BG3 together for the holiday breaks.

I bought Resident Evil 2 Deluxe edition for $12 dollars because it's October and I'm susceptible to online discourse.

More Final Fantasy VI PR. Played up through the opera.
Celes' recruitment scene seemed off, and I realized what changed is that the guard doesn't beat the shit out of her. He just tells her to shut up when she talks back (which was preceded and followed by punches in the original) before sternly warning her that her execution will be tomorrow. Then he leaves the room and she just collapses for no discernible reason. The whole thing is weak.
What isn't weak is that Cyan doesn't suck. His samurai skills are off that timer bar from the original and are selectable directly from a menu. Part of the reason I decided to ditch Edgar and Sabin for the trip from Narshe through Magitek for the first time ever and replace them with him and Gau. Quadra Slash a.k.a. Flurry for Cyan is reliable damage, and for Gau I'd picked up a few Rages from the Veldt to get him going and he's been pretty strong. I got a couple monster Rages with tier 2 elemental spells (before even getting magicite period), but the ones I've been using the most are Bomb (Blaze is great damage solo or multiple) and Stray Cat (Cat Scratch is my highest damage attack; it spiked at 2.4k damage against the Zozo boss!). Edgar or Sabin would still probably be a good pick over Cyan because he's still not great, but at least now he doesn't feel worse in every scenario (his single target damage is good).

Forza Motorsport/Jedi Survivor. Star Wars does some things really well but it feels jankier than the first. Combat is much easier on the second hardest diffuculty compared to first. Anyone play Remnant 2 and is it worth $40? Thanks

Little Nightmares 2.
Not a difficult game, and more of the same if you've played the first. However, the chase sequences are definitely the weakest part of it. Multiple issues with camera angles, the character's speed and agility, and the extremely unforgiving nature of those parts.

Still playing Jedi Survivor and I really like it. It’s set in the Rogue One era of Star Wars and the main campaign is built around High Republic lore and, unlike most SW content these days, is actually interesting.

Just finished Lies of P and I enjoyed every second of it! I'm currently playing RE4 Remake. It's a great game, but I'm still thirsting for some souls-like. This will hold me over until Friday when Lords of the Fallen is released.

Decided I was never going to finish Rollerdrome with the default settings. It's too difficult and I never really bought into the game's objective systems. Made some heavy tweaks to the assist settings and now I'm enjoying it again and will probably finish this week. It's such an interesting concept mixing tony hawk, shooting and bullet-time but I feel there's a much better game trapped in there.
Started Psychonauts 2 again since I never finished and omg the platforming hits some serious lows in one of the brain sections. Now I remember why I stopped playing.

Near enough finishing up through Cyberpunk 2077's main story again for a replay. Just about to jump in on Phantom Liberty. Played it on launch a few years ago and kinda forgot how good the game is/was. Made even better with fixes, additions and graphics overhaul. Also helps to have good enough hardware to do it justice (only played on lowly 1070 before).. games a bea-ut!

In addition to dragonball the breakers I'm playing texas chainsaw massacre and cyberpunk. Oh and my hero ultra rumble or more accurately shitty third person shooter battle royale #782934. I really hope the new modes are actually interesting and that they learn how to balance characters properly.

More Final Fantasy VI PR. Played up through the sealed cave.
Brought the same crew through the Magitek Factory. MVP was the 'Ghost' Rage for usually drawing Thundara on the whole enemy team.
Picked up Mog and ran the round-the-world circuit required to pick up WaterRondo Harmony.
Trained on the Veldt a bit too since I wanted more spells but didn't want to gain levels. Then I filled up holes in my bestiary including trying to down Intangir. As it turns out, he's really tough without Vanish/Doom to instantly merc him. I tried Stops + Rasp/Osmose to burn through his 16k MP to prevent him from Meteor countering and his final attack, but as it turns out his AI is bugged and gets caught in a recursive loop of Meteor counter-->Not enough MP-->Meteor counter softlocking the game. Lame. I decided to come back later.
Sealed Cave I remember being challenging but without power leveling it's harder than I remember. The undead are really beefy, and the Outcasts in particular are a problem because Lifeshave is Drain by another name and can instantly kill anyone on my team. Resources were the real problem, as fighting them conventionally was difficult, and I was running out of mana for Raises and of Phoenix Downs to insta-kill them. I'd switched up my team a little though and had Sabin with me and noticed Aura Cannon OHKO everything so I just... let him do all the work.

Desperados 3 on Series X.
Really enjoying it so far.
I'm rubbish at real time tactics stuff, but I'm really getting to grips with this because of the solid mechanics and decent tutorials.
On recommendation of fellow Gaffers, I'm blasting through the Campaign in Titanfall 2.
Loving it.
Hope the rumours of a third coming are true.
A worthy alternative to the stagnating Halo and long in the tooth Destiny.

Taking a break from Starfield and deciding to play Forspoken on the PS5.
Bought it back in June when PSN had it on sale for $35. My curiosity got the best of me on this one.
That intro area was painful to watch and play. However, as the game is slowly opening up (and turning the cuff banter all the way down), it isn't the worst game I've played. Definitely not perfect, but definitely playable and some fun to be had.

Rollerdome is one of those games I really wanted to love. It has a ton going for it that is my shit. Something just doesn't add up for me and it didn't click. Dropped it after three hours of dicking around I think, I didn't have the patience.

Desperados III and Shadow Tactics are both excellent games but have a pretty steep learning curve. I've beaten both on Hard mutiple times and the key is mastering the games' "chain" systems early on. Forgot what they call it again but in Shadow Tactics it was Shadow Mode I think. Showdown Mode? These games are crazy fun in Hard Mode as well unlike some games that just sponge enemies.

Just started The Quarry. Just like your typical horror movie I’m already shaking my head at these dolts.
Edit: Are you kidding? My pussy ass boyfriend is going to just sit on the steps while I have to go searching an area where I know there’s some nasty shit waiting for me?? I don’t wanna go. Can’t we just leave? Damn you developers!!

I tried several whip builds and even tried a dual whip build, but they fizzled out in Lyndell. Still love using Magma Whip on horseback, but that is about all I could do with it. Startup speed is too slow and the stagger is practically nonexistant for on foot engagements. Do let me know if you can make it work as I would love to reexperience my Dark Souls II whip build glory in Elden Ring.

The DLC is before the end you can access it after the

You mean mods that I've been using? The mods that I've installed are
Immersive Scenarios
Dog Companion
Longer Days
More Persistent Weather
Ped Damage Overhaul
Stash the Lantern
Cut Dialogue Restoration
Basic Needs
High Resolution Hair Texture
I didn't install any graphics mods because the game looks amazing as it is. And those reshade lighting mods basically just ruin the color and black level of the image. They all suck.

Atomic Heart, I didn't make it through the intro the first time. But, I gave it another shot, and I'm enjoying it. I know a lot of people hate it, but I'm having fun.

I'm just finishing up Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow on GBA. It's been one of my favorite games in the series so far. I've run through six GB and GBA Castlevanias since the start of summer this year.
I just finished Starfield, at least for the time being, 435 hours in. I'll play it again in the future when it's been expanded upon.
I've moved on to Forza Motorsport which was my third most anticipated game after Zelda and Starfield. So far, it's been pretty depressing overall. While Starfield fell short in some pretty important areas and was disappointing in many ways, Forza is actually leaving me in a rut. Racing games are my favorite genre by far and I've been playing the Forza series a lot over the past 15 years or so. I have thousands and thousands of hours in the series and always enjoy them as they hit a sweet spot between arcade and sim that allows me to kick back and not take the racing so seriously. it still gives me a bit more to focus on than the rolling rave party the Horizon games have become. This game plays really well but after six years I was expecting T10's best game ever by a long shot. This is half the game FM4 was. Honestly for the time even Forza Motorsport 5, which famous for its lack of content, felt like a more complete experience. I'll keep going with it, but I can't see hitting near the hours I spent in past FM titles, it needs a lot of work.

Will be playing House of Ashes this weekend. Can’t wait. Loved the first two episodes of the series.
