I guess this is a whatcha been playin thing haha. If you have friends, Aliens Fire Team Elite is nuts. If anyone wants to squad up, lets Go! My favorite movie ever done right. But oh boy Psychonauts 2 is a trip, especially on Series X. I can see why people consider the first their favorite game ever. Not mine, but I see what's up.

Amazon Game Studios MMORPG New World is launching at the end of September with an Open Beta on September 9-12th. I played in a couple of testing sessions and especially enjoyed the last build. The PVE is good{not great}, PVP is very good, crafting is above average and character development seems to be fairly deep.

I was finally able to get a PS5 last night on a Walmart restock (they restock every 10 mins for 1 hour - I'm not sure how many they add at a time but it's next to impossible to actually get one in the cart AND be able to check out). Now the problem is what to do with it.

The wife - she will be mad
The boy - his head will explode
The girl - will be jealous and want something for herself
The me - Christmas gift or use now and take the hit with the wife to get it over with :)

I got an invite to test Age of Empires 4 a couple weeks ago and liked it. While i don't think it will approach the greatness of AOE2 i do believe it will be a very solid game.

Man, AOE2 was amazing wasn't it? I have great memories of my buddy and I networked up talking smack to each other across the house playing that game. lol Good times.

It was and still is. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on Steam is only 19.99, just checked and there are 10,000 playing it right now. Pretty amazing for a 20 year old game.

As Activision Blizzard’s lawsuit regarding sexual harassment and workplace discrimination expands, the company has let go of several prominent developers specifically named in the accusations. One such developer is Overwatch and Diablo developer Jesse McCree.

The Overwatch team used his name for one of the popular characters in their game, cowboy and DPS hero McCree. In light of what has been revealed about the history of the real Jesse McCree, the Overwatch team announced they would be changing the in-game character’s name.

In a surprising move, they also announced they would be following the example set by Washington and would now call the character “Overwatch DPS Hero.”

Well I started Cyberpunk over last night. Last time I was Street Kid. This time I went with Nomad. I can say, the game does feel smoother overall. Graphics looks crisper to me as well. As I mentioned several posts ago, I blew through it the first time around, so, this time I'm going to take more of my time with the game.

I just played Dark Souls 3 and my first Dark Souls game I've completed. The Nameless King (2nd to last boss fight) took me awhile to take down along with the Princes of Lothric...can definitely call out your ego when you're trying for the 20th time :D

But definitely recommend it and don't need to know anything about the prior games except the game is hard (in spots) and FightingCowboy on youtube is a great resource if you get stuck.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoys the holiday weekend!

nintendo got one more chance with this switch online service

i dont mind if theyre putting old nes/snes games that im not really all that invested in on there but dont put what youve just recently put on there because that was pure trash

and if the rumor is true that theyre putting old school gameboy games on there then start off with solar striker and one of the wario games
