Demon Souls Remake
First game I bought for my PS5 at launch and I've never finished it. Can't even remember how far I got when I last played it. Pretty simple compared to the later Souls game but still an excellent experience.
I also started Forspoken. But we won't talk about that.

Finished Alan Wake Remastered.
First time with this version, but I played through the 360 version 4 or 5 times, including once with FPS Boost.
Higher fidelity doesn't really alter the experience in any way that matters. Was a great game on 360. Still a great game. But I'm confident I'll never play it again.

I really want to like Monster Hunter: Wilds. I really do. But I just cannot mesh with these combat controls. It's clunky. I understand and accept that this isn't unabashed hack and slash, and that a deliberate approach is the proper method. I just can't sync with it. This is the type of game in which I'd happily join friends and hunt casually with them, more for the social vibes. But I don't have friends, so this was a waste of $70. I'm bummed. I suppose I could learn it if someone sat with me and taught me. It feels like that kind of game. As it stands, I was fighting the training barrels and confused myself by seemingly switching attack styles within a combo, and I have no idea if that's actually what I did and how I did it. Now the R2+somebutton attack is gone and a different one is in its place. I'm getting too old for this shit.
Starting Final Fantasy XVI. I started it once upon a time but stopped because I don't remember why. The Eikons are cool I guess, but I don't want to be big monsters. I want to be a dude with a sword. Why can't games just be what they are anymore? I feel like modern games have something decent going on and then they always fuck it up by adding some unnecessary mechanic or gimmick or system or novelty or "gameplay feature" that ends up taking something good and relegating it to wasting the player's time. I'm not very experienced with the Final Fantasy series overall, but I feel like this was their attempt at "What if the player can BE the summon?!" and everyone clapped and here I am in the opening scene as a mighty Phoenix fighting a fire Minotaur. Didn't some famous fashion designer once say, "Before you leave the house, remove one thing," and if you do that your look is perfect or something. I think games should listen to that advice.
Please pardon me. I'm just really cranky.

I didn't play anything all week. I got a tablet pc and it's pretty sweet.
So I've been playing around with that in the evenings. But you see.... Linux will allow you to do some pretty awful things to your computer lol. I've blown up a few installs already because I'm getting too into the tinkering. Got another in saturday morning and told myself I'd done experimenting with weird stuff. I gotta back up this install before I have another lapse of judgement and start playing with poorly maintained shell extensions.
I did test a few games on it and I'm surprised how well they play. I was expecting to be able to do some light gaming on it, but I will be able to play plenty of stuff. When I'm done breaking it over and over.

There are 14 different weapons in this game if don’t want slow weapons then choose dual blades or Sword and Shield they pretty fast weapons compare to other ones.

Was very hard to tell just from the screenshots what the game is but I dig the artstyle. Will probably pick it up as it's on sale very often. Thanks!

Started up Atlas Fallen: Rising/Falling/Fall/Risefallborne Origins.
The intro was dire. Like 4/10. I about bailed but one of the reviews on the store said the intro was horrific and to keep going. It's up to about a 5/10 now. Sorta fun, slightly. I'm intrigued by the main villain and kind of want to see the story a bit now. It's a pretty unsettling and omnipresent sky god. Doesn't look like the main character will ever have a chance against that, so that's kind of interesting. Combat is opening up slightly with a parry and secondary weapon. It's not horrible at the moment.

Ok. Trails through daybreak has a bit of a difficulty cliff with the first boss battle. 8 vs 3 in a turn-based jrpg means I suddenly need to get the action economy on my side... I expect I need to massively adjust build/gear/orbments etc.
Nearly finished Shadowrun Returns - enjoyed it but it does feel like a first attempt/prototype

I'm surprised by this game. So far I've been loving it. I'm only an hour in and am gonna to play through this before Xenoblade Chronicles X comes out due to hearing how short the game really is. I hooked up my Steamdeck to a the dock and man does the game look fantastic on my monitor. Everything looks so bright and colorful. The game actually runs great on my Steamdeck too. I'm loving the gameplay too. So far the cast and story is really good. Gameplay wise the battle system is fantastic. I just hit my first town too. I hope it doesn't overstay it's welcome

What time is it?
Monster Hunter Wilds and it's shocking how bad the campaign is. Where is my Japanese quirk and charm? Why is it so braindead easy? It really feels like a game that needed another year or two in the oven. At least the core combat is good and I'm sure it will get there eventually.

Basically biding my time until Xenoblade X and Atomfall. First world problems.
Literally hundreds of games to play and “I have nothing to play.”
I’ve gone from Super Mario World to Disco Elysium to Control to Tsushima

Splinter Cell Double Agent. 7th Gen version.
Holy hell. How did they screw this up so badly? And why change the gameplay at all?
I like Double Agent. It's not the best Splinter Cell, but it's still a good game. But this version is terrible.
For anyone who has watched video of it, but never actually played it, NO, it is not "basically the same".
I intend to finish it, but I'm gonna have a bad time.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. This game is more talking than action and yet it's more exciting than any game I've played in the last 5 years

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC. Finished Remake a month back and enjoyed it. Only 15 hours into Rebirth, but I can see why people like it so much. Also playing COD Black Ops 6 for some multiplayer action.
Have a few things I need to get around to playing for the first time, including Death Stranding, Dark Souls II (only From soulsborne I haven't played), Subnautica, and some VR games on the Quest 3.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Have fun man, I replayed them a few months ago thanks to the LE for the first time ever and had the time of my life.
Mod it if you are on PC (check the mandatory mods on PCGamingWiki) and upong starting a new game I'd also recommend checking the order in which to tackle the DLCs.
Have fun!

I would advise new players to not mod it. Vanilla first.
And yes, Mass Effect is better than almost anything.

Nope. Check out the mods I'm talking about, it's all patches.
I mean, would you recommend to anyone to play the game like this?

I always want to play the intended version first.

The "intended version" is missing the dynamic lights of the original game you tard.

Bro, be nice pls. I'm now playing LE and it's great.

Finished Avowed. Fontier Hunter and Biomorph up next. I've used my Xbox more in the past month than the last 3 years combined probably. Between Avowed, Forza Horizon 4, and Gears 5. I barely used my Xbox anymore, nice to actually have it do something other than collect dust. Unfortunately, I don't really see anything else on the horizon for the rest of 2025, so that'll probably be the last time I use it this year.

Thank you! I didn't even think about mods (outside of ultrawide fix). I'll definitely do that.

Make sure to apply the mods to restore Miranda's butt shots and the ones that fix the Conrad Verner quests. LE is great but not free of fuckups, and I'd say those + mello + the community patch are a must.

Splinter cell: Pandora tomorrow HD
In the midst of a samaritan run.
I have to really give some credit to the game and level designers for some thoughtful choices here. There's room for various paths of action and versatility. The gameplay dynamic also requires you to be thoughtful in how you approach and move.
The storyline throughout also seems to be somewhat maturely written. Especially, for the game's age. No overload of quippy banter. Rather generally natural dialogue exchanges. Fitting within the game's premise.

Playing through The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC at the moment. Just started Chapter 4 and so far I'm liking where the story is going and characters have a lot of charm. My intention is to play the whole Legend of Heroes saga, and so far looks like I will. It also helps that these older games have a speed-up function for both cutscenes and gameplay, so I can go through them much faster (for some reason, these games love their sloooooooooooooow camera movements into every cutscene, and animations in battle are terribly slow). My Trails in the Sky The 1st playthrough ended at 33,5 hours on Steam (and that's including a few times when I left the game running while I was tending to other things) and yet the in-game timer was already well over 50 hours.

Cleared the first DLC. Thinking of changing up my current build. May not change it entirely, but just do some tweak. More melee, less shurikens. Switch from kurisigama to sword, too.

Frontier Hunter is pretty bad. Very glad I got it on a major sale more than 50% off. I tend to love all Metroidvanias, even ones that get like 65% on OpenCritic, but this one I'm having trouble of getting into to where I'm 99% sure I'm dropping it for now. It just isn't very good and feels cheap.

Not enjoying the DLC, to be honest. It's not bad but I think I've just gotten bored of the game now. Plus my current build is absolutely dreadful in the DLC. Can't be bothered tinkering and trying something else.
Not sure what to play now. I've got Forspoken and Dragon Age: Veilguard in my backlog but I'd rather insert a pineapple violently into my rectum. I've got a few games still in the plastic wrapper: Conscript, Immortals of Avuem, and Gal Guardians: Demon Purge. Don't fancy any of them. Might wander over to Steam and see if anything on my wishlist is on sale.
