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.

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? 2 weeks 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.

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

My last new graphics card was a 1080, I‘ve bought second hand since then and will keep doing that cause these prices are…

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

NFS Unbound… I was just trying to finish it lol

I‘m still mad at Microsoft but I‘m glad Tango gets to keep making games.

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? 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 2 months ago:
I actually have not played the original which is why I was interested in playing the remaster since it‘s such a classic. I ended up liking the Nightdive-made DLC maps and the N64 port the most tbh.
- Comment on Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 2 months ago:
Catching up on Vampire Survivors updates when solo.
It Takes Two with gf. Awful story IMO, we’re just skipping the cutscenes now. But great diverse gameplay and visual setpieces.
Gonna start Darksiders Genesis with a friend this weekend now that our run through Quake II remastered is done. I liked Quake II 64 (lol) the most out of the lot tbh. The levels were way less confusing. The Nightdive-made DLC was also great.
- Comment on Witcher 1&2 are probably worth playing 2 months ago:
Witcher 2 yay, Witcher 1 nay. IMO, the first one really didn‘t age well. It‘s been too long to remember the specifics but what I do remember is me dealing with the gameplay and visuals for the story‘s sake. The second game I started up and was awed by the visuals, the gameplay was much better too. Insane step forward.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 2 months ago:
Rocket League cracked that for me, crazy ceiling on that game.
Crusader Kings III is gonna crack it eventually…
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 2 months ago:
Quake II remaster (?) by Nightdive in co-op with a friend. It‘s alright. I see it more as a video game history course, everything kinda looks the same so it hasn’t held up too well IMO, but it‘s a good time in co-op. And thank God they built in a navigation system lol
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 2 months ago:
I‘m probably even downplaying it, my friend ragequit from the frequency of crashes lol
Maybe Magicka 2 is the better starting point, but I wouldn‘t know since after my experience with Magicka, I didn‘t wanna touch it
It was fun when it worked though!
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 2 months ago:
Fair warning that when I played it with a friend (two-ish years ago), it was broken and abandoned. Couldn‘t play in co-op for more than 30 minutes without a disconnect, some DLCs didn‘t even start, singleplayer you had to downgrade to an older version or else it crashes every so often. Every loading screen has you praying the game doesn‘t poop the bed. It was probably fun at some point, but it needs engineering attention and hadn‘t gotten that in years when I last tried it.
- Comment on Need for Speed: what is the best title of the series? 2 months ago:
I think NFS Heat is great nowadays. It holds up well and runs well. Dirt cheap as well. As in all racing games, I skipped the story tho lol; those are a waste of time and resources IMO
- Comment on Need for Speed: what is the best title of the series? 2 months ago:
My personal 2 cents:
DiRT 5 has the most terrible driving in any racing game I‘ve ever played. It‘s an HDR wonderland but that‘s about it. My least liked racing game in my library.
Fair warning to anyone who is like me and suffers from moderate motion sickness: Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom will whoop your ass, play the demo (I think there was one) first and see if you can last 30 minutes. The game‘s fun and all but it‘s not fun to get nausea and a headache.
Distance is amazing. Heard about that game on here first actually and it was a great find.
- Comment on Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs? 2 months ago:
Pokemon USUM. If there was a looped version of the tracks, I‘d probably listen to it every day lol, it just boosts my mood. Sadly, the soundtrack (that I have) has them at 1-2 minutes.
