I picked up Cyberpunk 2077 again some months ago and had the credits rolling yesterday. That was a pretty good ride! Best Keanu Reeves performance since Matrix #1. Good writing, all in all.

I've seen a lot of mention of Out Worlds, never played the original, but the new one definitely has me interested.
$80 is steep tho, that's hard to support unless it's really something incredible, but those exist out there for under $60.

Borderlands 4 coming out at $80 too from what I've seen.

I started up some Lies of P for the first time. Man this is such a cool game.

Combat is fantastic. Parry windows are even tighter than sekiro by a good margin. The game is sort of like if dark souls prioritized parrying instead of dodging. Plays more like a souls than Sekiro. Parrying with a giant greatsword saw instead of a tiny katana is pretty damn cool.

The nice thing about PC is you can wait for a good sale. The $80 price point isn't for you; it's for sickos like me who loved the first game and have waited years for the sequel. The first one is usually available for very cheap or free these days.

I feel bad for the devs. The $80 thing is the big talking point about their game now.

As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG

"You'd have to honestly talk to the Xbox folks" about the price, Brandon Adler says
www.gamesradar.com www.gamesradar.com

“We’re a game developer. We love to make games. We don’t set the prices for our games. Like, personally, as a game developer, I wish everybody could play my game, because that’s what I want out of this whole thing. But for the reasons and so like, why the $79.99 price point, you’d have to honestly talk to the Xbox folks.”

Microsoft wants to push people into Gamepass subscriptions. Simple as. And they did promise it's a game for Capitalism by Capitalism:shrug:

Speaking of which, I was told the Profit Motive was the only reason anyone would make cool treats like video games:hmm: Turns out the profit motive doesn't motivate people who make games, only suits who slap the $80 price tag on it

The original Outer Worlds was good fun! It was for sure a different overall feel to Fallout but there was definite familiarity there. You could tell it didnt have as big a budget but I still put dozens of hours into it instead of working on my company provided Alienware laptop at the time!

I'm really looking forward to Outer Worlds 2 though along with the Silent Hill remake and RE9.

This weekend I started and finished South of Midnight which had a decent story and combat was alright. It's got a lot of Louisiana soul to it for sure. I'd recommend giving it a go as a roughly 10 hour game. Beautiful design!

Played some Doom Dark Ages and it's fun but damn it's so hard to shift from Clair Obscur, Stellar Blade, Metaphor etc to that fucking fast paced heart attack. I can only do it in small doses but its fun so far even though I have no idea what's going on in the story.
