Play 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim on switch. Really unique game. I dig it. I recently finished TOTK and loved it but man there’s still so much to do. And I think I put in close to 100 hours already.

Plan on getting BG3 when it hits PS5 and brushing up on MK11 for when MK1 drops. Parents ordered it for my birthday.

Also kinda interested in Armored Core 6.

My younger 16-20 year old self really, REALLY wants 48 year old me to buy this for my PS5 next month. That kid is damned loud inside my head. But I just don’t think I’ve got the time that game would demand from me.

I have a feeling that teenage me is probably going to win this fight. This game just seems perfect.

It's pretty damn cool, though a bit repetitive overall IMO.

I had fun with it. You need to do multiple playthrus if you wanna experience all the content but after finishing my first run I personally didn't feel like immediately starting over - I'm sure I will at some point though

I setup my old tube tv and hooked up some old consoles. I don't have anything newer than a wii. I buy a few games annually. Most recently I purchased Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge for NES. Some of my favorites are the Resident Evil and Ratchet and Clank series.

I downloaded Witcher 3 super duper deluxe whatever edition on the PS5. Figured I'd try it out on the console since I've owned it on PC for years and it felt like the controls were more geared towards consoles unlike the very first game.

After all that, I'm finding the overall game enjoyable and the controls A LOT less cumbersome. And it looks really good on that system. Definitely not like back in the day with terrible ports (looking at you Double Dragon for the C64)

It helps that CDPR released a current gen patch for it, too. I installed it, but haven’t really played it. W3 is a game I’ve gone through a few times, and I don’t think I’ve got it in me for another play through of it. One of my favorite games ever, though. Top 3 all timer.

Pretty much all this. I picked up witcher 3 again after bailing on my first play through after all the dlc landed. From Velen to Tulour, the shift in atmosphere is like this amazing reward. 10/10

The PC controls are trash. I keep trying to play it but give up because it is so hard to actually do anything in combat.

That's why I enjoyed Witcher 1! Mouse and keyboard were perfect! After that, it became impossible to play with m+k. Disappointing really.

I have to pull the trigger on this. Miss having an old school single player RPG.

Had high hopes for Diablo 4 but that sounds like a turd.

It’s not a full on turd but it’s doesn’t have the “this game is crack and I have to play it in every spare second I have” vibe that you think of when you think Diablo.

I can't wait to get home and play the new armoured core.

Fromsoftware peaked at Ace Centurys Episode 2. Looking forward to jumping into AC.

I have baldours gate on Dreamcast. BG3 hype at the moment is not failing to attract me.

Anyone playing AC6 yet? Fucks?

I'll probably get it after I finish Blasphemous 2, but I haven't played an AC game since the original one

I’m playing AC6, I think it’s pretty damn fun so far mouse and key feels decent and it runs smoothly on my old ass pc at max settings. Keeping in mind I’ve played every AC main game since the first one (besides 5)I really like it so far. Definitely not agreeing with most the complaints from steam negative reviews but then again AC has always been lukewarm with popularity and critically so I’m not surprised.
