Sweet. They put a non binary operator in there for you to choose.

Just spent £1 on adding The Nomad Soul to my collection. Have fond memories playing this on the Dreamcast.
Just got Death Stranding and Amnesia: The Bunker, both for 12 quid, thanks to this cool Fanatical bundle thingy.

Death Stranding is really cool. I hope you end up liking it (and maybe overlooking some of the slowness at the beginning of the game).

Bought Immortals Fenyx Rising, and I'm instantly reminded why I hate Ubisoft. Why do I have to create a fucking Ubi account to play the game I bought? Fuck YOU

It's a good game, tho. One of the better ones from Ubi.

That's what I'd heard and I got a screaming deal on it, just annoyed that they have to make it hard to enjoy.
Just bought [REDACTED] because it launched and has very positive Steam reviews, was on my radar since the first reveal.

Fuck yeah. That's on my PS5 wishlist. Will pick this up from the app after posting this! How is it btw? I have a good feeling about this one.
I picked up a few physical games earlier today. Rise of the Ronin and Alone in the Dark. Was just waiting for these to hit a certain price point. Rise was £35, Alone £25
And also picked up Anno 1800 and that Prince of Persia game. 2 Ubisoft titles. Never saw that coming
I'm playing that V Rising game. I'll prob share an update after my next session with it. It's positive.

V Rising seems really cool, keep me updated!

Picked up some new games in the PS Store sales.
A few games I had always wanted to try in Sine Mora EX and John Wick Hex.
And a few others that caught my eye. Super Woden GP 2, Plague Inc, Kill Knight, Dark Light & Cultish Simulator Anthology Edition.
And naturally played Street Fighter 6 for 3 hours after buying these games. Naturally.

Finally. Picked up Avatar.
Plus Age of Mythology Retold.
Give us your thoughts on both, when you can, please!

I have that game on my wishlist, thinking of giving it a shot when when 5090 drops, to go nuts on the visuals because it's one of the few games that you can really push to the max.
Looking forward to your impressions!

I picked up Death Stranding on Xbox whilst it's half price. I've wanted to play it for a long time so I was excited it got shadow dropped onto Xbox. Enjoying it so far although I'm only a few hours in. The game has a really nice atmosphere to it, gameplay is nicely chilled up to now, really enjoying the soundtrack also.
They're gonna be in a backlog for some time, but I did launch them to check them out.
Even took some screenshots in Avatar.
Game looks much better in action because every single piece of foliage is constantly moving. You can zoom in on the them and they seem to never run out of detail. Feels like a Teyon game (being super authentic to its universe first person shooter), but made at high budget. Gonna rewatch the movies at some point and jump in. They still have to finish second DLC for this.
It also gave me Mirror's Edge vibes. It has movement similar to it, first person parkour focus.
As for Age of Mythology, something about the way they redid the artstyle seems garish to me. It will take time getting used to it. Menu have more graphics options than a DF would ask for. Various forms of image reconstruction, ray tracing and shit, but still looks like 2002 game ultimately.

Damn that's beautiful
I bought this for the princely sum of £2.78. It's fun as hell.

I bought Avatar yesterday, a key for an ok price.
It looks very good overall and also runs well on my PC. But man....
- intro is surprisingly long and non interactive
- pretty lame super heavy handed evil white man villain and evil colonizer story so far
Visually, im honestly disappointed. Maxed settings.
- the RT lighting reacts with a noticable delay to changes
- there's distracting noise on objects that are interactive
- image seems over sharpened with no setting to tone it down
- screen space reflections that destroy beautiful scenes because they suddenly disappear when you look down a bit
- volumetric lighting is chunky and pixelated
I'll wait for the 5090 and throw the unobtanium settings at the game, will then play it.
Other than that, it has nice skin textures, beautiful and dense vegetation, very good shadow quality. Will play more of if when I have more compute power at hand.
- Platforms
Yeah, that sounds like Avatar.
Super intrigued to see how the Unobtanium settings look, I know DF did some testing but I want to see it on future hardware!
Maxed settings, my 3080 definitely showed it's age once I got out of the base into the open. It's also a game that really benefits from high frame rates, looks and feels great when at 70+fps with some motion blur.
Looks a bit like that Hatred game but with a cartoony aesthetic. I still remember the hand wringing and wailing that game caused.

The game seemingly came and went with little to no fanfare, which seems a shame as it appears to be a bit of a graphical showpiece.

I remember the uproar about that but I never played it. This is like GTA 1 dropped all the missions and your only objective is to cause so much carnage and stay alive 20 minutes until the authorities' only way to stop you is to nuke the city you're in. It's a fun time.
It was way less popular than I expected tbh. The movies were huge but the game wasn't a great success sales wise.
Very polished game, with good reviews, kinda odd. I think people got tired of Ubi games with the same formula over and over again.
I went to buy it but it's already in my library. Must have bought it while pissed.
I forgot about Unobtanium settings. My PC probably won't handle it. At ultra settings fps jumps between 50-100.

Just bought Battle Brothers because it was on sale. I've heard claim it's "the best tactical RPG ever made", which piqued my interest. I'm usually not very big on self directed procedural/emergent rogue-ish style open world games. But this game seems pretty interesting. And the low fantasy, warhammer adjacent, setting seems cool.
Finally bought DeathSprint 66. On sale on Steam right now. This is more fun than I thought, fucking difficult at first but online is really good.

I read Edge's coverage on it and it sounds like a really intriguing premise, I am just not sure it has the player base for longevity. Would very likely be more money wasted by myself if I did purchase it.

Shadow the Hedgehog 2 is lookin siiiiick
tbh this is exactly the sort of arcade game I would sink way too much time into
PSN Black Friday sale just started, so I grabbed Metaphor ReFantazio at 25% off (thought it might get a little lower, but whatever)
May grab a few other things there.
Black Friday isn't like the old days

I don't have any issues finding races, and I'm having a great time.
Also, if all visual settings set to max, damn it's a really gorgeous game. Totally has that CGI look, they did an amazing job.
