  I cannot for the life of me get to a stable 60 fps on half decend settings, I cancelled my preorder and I‘m waiting for the DF review… I might as well grab it on a discount in the future when I have future hardware… The game itself was fantastic, it just ran like ass.

  The kinda game I can‘t replay cause its mystery carried it so hard for me, and now that I already know the answer…

  More than enough people who will replay it or play it for the first time though, so I hope it‘s gonna be good

  Seems like they’ve realized remasters of their classics sell

  I also picked the cute cat when I first started the game blind and had no idea what it was gonna evolve into, that it’d go from kitty to wrestling star was not on my mind lol

  Maybe unpopular opinion, but USUM is my favorite Pokemon game. The graphics were great and fitting, and it had a nice cozy feel with a banger OST.

  Going from that to SwSh broke my heart. I literally just wanted a less pixelated USUM and instead they „evolved“ to that weird plastic/clay look like so many other Nintendo-close franchises…

  I‘d say I‘m excited for an USUM remake in the future, but I don‘t think they‘d go with the vibrant and clean anime look anymore, and that‘d be over half my excitement gone.

  100€ for a singular videogame sounds so crazy to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨James Bond Game by IO-Interactive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved their last three HITMAN games, easily in my top 10 favorite games ever (the actual story portion of it, not the liveservice), so yeah, I‘m very excited.

  I also wished they would‘ve not gone the liveservice route with their last HITMAN title and kept making proper entries. Have there even been new maps since the story ended? Last time I checked all they did was throw out new targets with a shallow story on - at best modified - existing maps.

  That being said, I‘m so ready and excited for actual new content from them. Exploring their maps has always been so fun for me.

  I found that channel a couple weeks ago and without having much insight into the development side of games myself, I just thought their videos couldn‘t look more shady if they tried. Especially the plugging of their own company (?) and call for donations among other things left a bad taste. They should work on their presentation IMO.

  I‘m planning to play Bread & Fred with a friend and get the platinum time trials even though we both kinda suck at the game, we have a backup plan with GOD EATER 3 to calm ourselves down after too many failures though LOL

  I‘m trying to play We Were Here (the f2p one) with my gf but there‘s a weird choppiness to the camera when you walk around which made both of us motion sick, not sure what that‘s about.

  Time to put the DLSS 4 dll into other games and see how it looks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Putting the finishing touches on Darksiders Genesis with a friend. Game was alright. My advice would be to play the game on Medium or High settings with Ultra textures. I realized too late that I could‘ve played with 50% higher framerate while the game hardly looks any different all this time lol

  I also hope to figure out why the fuck I suck so much at Dorfromantik and get a bit more into the game this weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mainly Celeste, Darksiders Genesis co-op, and Eiyuden Chronicle Rising. Celeste and Eiyuden are great, Darksiders is fine, it feels a bit generic. I was way too scared of Celeste, it‘s not as hard as I feared it would be without assist mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anything tempting you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Found a Monster Hunter Wilds key for cheap, already lost.

  It‘s doubly funny cause the inevidable expansion will make any gear grind in the base game useless as per usual lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly Celeste and Yonder TCCC. There‘s a fine line between cozy and boring, and Yonder‘s dangerously close to the latter.

  It‘s also crazy how they‘ve aged. Do top games nowadays look better? Yes. Do they look a decade better, though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the last game you played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  NFS Unbound… I was just trying to finish it lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it‘s car licenses, I heard Ferrari for example is obscenely expensive to license, the licenses run out and it‘s not worth to renew them since the games don‘t make much money anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you‘re eyeing NFS Unbound for that sweet 90+% discount, get Forza Horizon, The Crew 2/Motorfest or even NFS Heat instead. The effects - which most people take offense with - are probably the only thing about this game that isn’t generic and the only thing I have a positive opinion about. The car handling, the map, the story, the soundtrack, the performance, the cops - the fucking cops… Long rant short: Get a different acarde racer and don‘t waste your time with NFS Unbound. There’s a reason they’re already throwing it away for five bucks.

  NFS Heat is the same shit but better, and The Crew or Forza Horizon are way better than that still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here's a hot take about Sekiro⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree with you, I platinum‘d it but in the end it frustrated me way more than any other Soulsborne title since there‘s practically no different approaches to fights. You either learn the one way they want you to beat the boss in or you‘re stuck. There‘s no choosing magic or a smaller weapon or a bigger weapon or more armor or less armor.

  I also think it‘s by far the hardest of the Soulsbornes (that I‘ve played), it‘s basically the Dark Souls of Soulsborne games lol

  I think I‘d pass on a Sekiro 2, having experienced this once is enough for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your most played games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only Rocket League is over 1000, League of Legends would probably be over 1000 too and CS 1.6 SHOULD be but Steam says 400 which is hard to believe.

  Over 400: Crusader Kings III and Leaf Blower Revolution (obviously that just ran in the background a lot without interaction…), CS 1.6

  Over 200: Black Ops III Zombies, Skyrim, GTA V, Nioh, Nioh 2, Monster Hunter World

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love hunting for achievements and there’s always one unfinished game that’s a fallback to push a bit further in these cases where I stare at my Steam library for five minutes without starting anything, right now it‘s „if in doubt, play Metal Gear Solid V“

  Runs 60 FPS all high on the Deck as well, which is crazy to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite games to play around Christmas time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, Titanfall 2 holds up incredibly well. Pretty much looks and plays like it came out this year IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games did you complete in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You‘re a JRPG machine! I also loved Trails in the Sky 1&2, complete surprise to me. I didn‘t think I‘d like it much just going by the completely dated graphics and gameplay alone, but the story had me enthralled. I‘m not sure where exactly it stands on my all time favorite stories list, but top 10 easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don‘t know… the soundtrack, the presentation, the map, the car handling, the story (although I‘m already skipping cause I couldn‘t take it anymore), it all seems inferior to me. Although neither is a masterpiece, but Heat made a more competent impression on me.

  Maybe the graphics are better which I‘d hope after all this time, but the goofy pedestrians take away from that as well. The police could be better as well, they were obnoxious in Heat and practically couldn‘t be shaken off without a ramp/jump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How 2 Escape with a friend (can recommend, not mindblowing but a good time), Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes with gf (pretty fun experience)

  Solo I‘m bouncing around between games, but shoutout to NFS Unbound which I like less the more I play it lol

  Even for 5 bucks, it‘s NFS Heat but worse in basically every aspect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  NFS Unbound and BF2043 cause it‘s five bucks each rn.

  I think BF is fine for 5 bucks if you don‘t think about how much worse it is compared to BF3 or 4, it‘s still silly fun for cheap on its own.

  NFS I struggle to recommend even for this price, unless you‘re already done with all the Forzas, Crews, Grids, and Dirts of this world. The driving just feels incredibly wrong, lots of „what the fuck just happened?“ And it runs poorly even though it looks mediocre.

  Chained Together was fun so far with a friend, although it‘s clearly not very polished.

  I also got Deep Rock Galactic, but I haven‘t spent much time in it yet. This one in contrast looks very polished lol

  Lastly, Chicory has been a lot of fun and a unique experience. A cute and wholesome game I can recommend.

  After I became „worthy“ this week in Distance, I also want to recommend it again. It‘s a game I discovered through people talking about it on here and it was a great experience.
