Anybody a video game junkie?

Damn...The cyberpunk 2077 reviews on the new expansion are killing it. I played the base game at release, but haven't touched it since. I might have to pick up the xpac and start a new play.

Going to do the same.

Is it on game pass or stand alone?

 

[Daks]

Is that game a first person game? If so, is it like dishonored or is it like COD?

Not on game pass and you need the base game.

It's first person. I'd say it's more like fallout, but better graphics. Definitely closer to dishonored than cod though.

If you're looking for something similar to Dishonored there's DEATHLOOP from the same studio

I tried playing starfield again this weekend, but that lasted like 20 minutes maybe. I didn't do much at all and then logged out. I'm probably done trying with that one.

Instead I found God of Weapons and I've been playing that. It's like vampire survivors, but isometric view like diablo and the inventory is kinda like diablo too. Rounds last only a minute and there's 20 rounds per game. In between rounds you buy new gear, expand your inventory, and try to plan out your build. I feel like I spend more time between the rounds just setting up my character for the next one. Kinda enjoying it though. It'll get me by until the cyberpunk dlc comes out at least.

The next month or so feels pretty loaded. Cyberpunk, Spider-man 2, and Lords of the Fallen.

The 2.0 update is tomorrow too. Maybe I'll download that while I'm at work and get some base game stuff started before the DLC comes out.

Same. I've tried a few times, but just don't play for more than 15 minutes at a time. Can't get into it.

Yep. Have time to restart a new character to get up to where PL kicks in.

What's wrong with starfield? I'm most likely going to get into God of war next. At the present time I'm enjoying being a dark wizard too much.

Starfield I think may be a little slow pace for some, or just not interesting enough? I don't know, but that's what I gather.
For me, I'm still trying to get into it as well. I have a few hours into it and I feel like I've accomplished nothing!
Also, I still don't know/understand a lot of the shit that's going on lol.
There is just so much going on and things you can do, and I just don't have the mental bandwidth to figure it all out.
But I'll keep going, at least until the new Forza comes out next month.

Maybe some of it's just because Baldurs Gate was the last game I played. It makes Starfield feel soulless in comparison. There's nothing that feels alive in this game. BG3 pulled me in right away. After the first cutscene I was into it.

There's so many annoying things about starfield though. Like the non-functional map when you're on land. Having an oxygen meter that runs out after 20 steps and damages your health slightly every time you start to inhale CO2 is very annoying. Then there's so many loading screens. The game is so split apart that going anywhere requires a loading screen.

Talking to NPCs isn't interesting. The combat isn't very fun and at least at the beginning it has the same problem as fallout where you have to carry 10 different guns because you've picked up 10 different ammos types but only have 20 ammo for each gun. Then every time you're in combat you use all your ammo.

I don't feel like exploring anything in this game. BG3 had me wanting to go everywhere and find everything.

Maybe it gets better when you've unlocked some talents to make some aspects of the game better/easier, but I'm not going to keep playing a game I feel absolutely nothing for.

Summed it up great. BG3 really ruined standards for games.

Microsoft is so dumb. They weren't worried about the game at all. Then it launched and they were like, oh shit...we fucked up and we need to go against the rule we made up for ourselves and get this thing on our consoles. Then there's been the leak about microsoft completely down playing the studio. Now starfield is out and it's made it so obvious how much more effort was put into Baldurs Gate. They hired something like 240 voice actors for BG3. Every voice actors performance was also captured with mo-cap. It made everything feel so much more alive. Then you play starfield and you've got bethesda, owned by microsoft, releasing a game they showed trailers of 5ish years ago, so it's been in development for much longer. They've been able to put so much more money and time into it, but it has no soul.
