Been playing the Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 upgrade.
Hahaha I'm not saying the story's better than RDR(2) or anything but I am loving the peaceful warrior themes and its overall design... and the fact that your horse shows up right when you need him lol.You must be registered for see medias
Been playing a lot of Re 2 remake and Re6 been also looking for a partner to play coop modes with (re 6. Revelations 2) what platform are you on?Currently I'm playing Revelations 2 raid mode pretty obsessively. I've been jumping around lately, between RE5, RE6, CVX, REmake, and Revelations 2.
Days Gone is simply put one of the best horror games I've ever played. I got a lot out of it, with many playthroughs, ending with a run on Survival II, the hardest mode, with the Massive Hordes mod, and without sleeping or fast traveling. The combination of Survival II, with Massive Hordes, and not sleeping or fast traveling, means you're often riding the bike through dark, foggy forests, and cluttered tunnels, not knowing if a freak will pounce on you and knock you off your ride. I'm not one that's easily scared in horror games, but it gave me chills hearing the screams of freaks as dim moonlight was flickering through the trees riding in those foggy forests at night. The echoes of the freaks in the tunnels at night, or worse yet, dead silence, put me on edge just as much. This is also a game with an excellent story and characters, and superb voice acting, so it's a bit of a diamond in the rough in this genre.
It's probably the most unique so called zombie game I've ever played though, so it definitely doesn't feel like the same old thing. To quote the devs, "It's not a zombie game". This is true for more than one reason, what made the enemies "freaks", which is detailed by missions you do, and the fact that it doesn't really have a typical zombie type story.This does look pretty badass I'll have to try it out once I'm burned out from Elden Ring. Just can't get enough zombies, regardless of what smug people say about too many zombie games on the market.![]()
Going to start chipping at the PS4 versions of Rev1, RE5, and RE6. I did them back on PS3 a decade ago so they will feel like fresh experiences.
Rumors that the next Nintendo device coming in 2024, hopefully it remains handheld and upgrades resolution to 1080p (No reason not to! Switch has been a major commercial success in contrast to Wii U so they have the funds to upgrade) I may just contemplate snagging one. I haven't owned a handheld device since....Gameboy Advance.
I am playing Chernobylite. It's a 1st person survival horror Polish game but with Russian and Soviet themes, and comes with all the cliche stereotypes of it as the dialogue certainly strives to be as Russian as humanly possible. The plot is to find your long lost wife, which isn't bad, but when her ghost or spirit appears in every single cutscene and loading screen with gushy dialogue it does kind of get annoying after a while but not overtly. Reminds me of Fallout 4 and STALKER (but without the seamless open world, the gameworld comes in segments or "zones") and it copies F4 almost to a T as far as building stuff in your base. It doesn't really take too long to build everything you need with all the upgrades because I already have a fully upgraded shotgun and good body armor and can 1 shot baddies even at medium range and also every single other device at my base that helps you between missions.
Gameplay is not too bad but it does feel a bit linear; you do a mission (and assign teammates with missions with a success rate), return to base, build/upgrade what you need, upgrade skills from teammates, rest in your room, wake up with a voice on you com radio which provides another mission. Rinse and repeat. Your ultimate objective is to assemble a team of 5 people and storm the main Chernobyl plant and rescue your wife so you spend much of the game doing a bunch of missions that eventually lead to recruiting more characters. Many of them are optional so if you don't like a particular one you can tell them to pound sand and wait until another one you like comes. Highly recommended to invest in lockpicks (build a station in your base that makes them) and Chernobylite burners because they unlock valuable items in each 'Zone'. Combat is cliche 1st person shooter and stealth-lite so no need to divulge here too much, just upgrade your favorite weapon and go to town, works for me.
Overall I am enjoying it, it haws flaws and feels a bit shallow and copycat (F4 and STALKER) at times, it's a small developer studio after all, but it has enough content and optional decisions that affect the outcome to warrant maybe 2 or 3 playthroughs, the visuals certainly look good and STALKER-ish and the controls are smooth and not ruggedly PC-centric like STALKER was all those years ago. So yeah, if you liked Fallout 4 and Stalker, or you just want some good eastern European charm and style, or just want a good horror survival/shooter game, definitely give it a whirl.
