Building bases is what I found one of the cooler elements to Fallout. That game is a "real" RPG...definitely recommend it.

Humor/env is similar to Bioshock tbh but with all the rpg stuff. But I remember the convos were clever, and felt great defending one of your bases when under attack. You could be on the other side of the map and get a notice your camp is being attacked. Sometimes you don't care bc it's a weak camp with little value, but if it was a good camp with tons of housing/electricity/food/weapon stuff you would defniiely drop everything and go defend. HAlf itching to go back over here

when you guys are done with that check out The Outer Worlds and the DLC

I liked the Outer Worlds (I know they're the same team) and saw the DLC but can half remember the story tbh at this point. Same with Fallout but definitely liked the spaceship hub in Outer Worlds and how the dark humor.

I'm super stoked for the new Horizon Forbidden West. Being that I can't seem to get my hands on a PS5, and refuse to pay the scalper prices, looks like I may have to just rock it on the PS4 Pro. Either way, should be fantastic.

Well, I'm in! lol It wasn't too bad at all to crack this thing open. Just to be safe for reassemble, I took pictures along the way and threw my screws in labeled envelopes to keep track of where they came from. Power supply is suppose to show up today, so, I will be eager to see if it works.

Also, sitting there staring at this Xbox open made me realize I should have bought an SSD to throw in there. I guess it's possible with a software update. Oh well, at this point I just want the thing to turn on and boot up.

You're a guy who I can appreciate. My background is in electronics, and I learned long ago when digital cameras came out is to ALWAYS take picture of the "before" so the "after" comes out like it's supposed to. Digital "film" is cheap.

The old saying a picture is worth a thousand words is so spot on.

I've been playing Doom (2016 version) mostly because it's something I can get on and off without much thought to where I left off. It's loaded off the disk and I have other games I play off the disk as well. It got really annoying swapping out disks every time I wanted to play a different game. I decided to download Doom from PlayStation. What a disappointment. The graphics were horrible and a lot of the audio was missing. Is that normal for downloaded games?

Maybe it is what is and I haven't noticed it before for other games.

Hmmm, doesn't sound normal. I've never really had a bad digital download on a console, but, that's not to say it isn't possible.

Yeah no something's definitely off Jammer. Digital should be exactly the same; sometimes feels the file size is bigger wo the disc to hold some of those gigs but I'm more talking to talk there, etc. I have both digitally and don't have those issues.

So my power supply came in a day late, but, I'm happy to report that I got it installed this afternoon and she fired up and is working. My One X has been salvaged. Made me happy.

I had no doubt.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that @BigStar will definitely enjoy this crossover video...

This is from the same guy that did the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia crossover video quoted above:

My man! I missed that Lion King one. ..I literally lol'd when Frank came out with the 2X4 to push Mufasa back down the mountain, "Oh, no you don't..." smh...right up my alley

So, fired up Biomutant last night and played about an hour. I'm, uh, not sure how I feel about it yet. lol Part of my really likes it and the other part of me is feeling 'meh' about it. I'll give it some more time and see how I feel.

 

[Reality]

The Steam reviews for Biomutant are coming in, its currently sitting at about 48% which is very middle of the road{at best}. I think most people{me included} thought it would be similar to Zelda BOTW and it isn't.

 

[SlammedZero]

Spent some more time with Biomutant today. So. Much. Dialog. I just want to get into this game and explore the world and it feels like every 30 seconds I'm having to stop and talk to somebody or listen to the narrator tell a story. I understand the game trying to develop a backstory but I feel like they could have done it in a way that wasn't so cumbersome. Also, while some of the fighting is super fun, you run into bigger beasts to battle and it just feels so weird. Like you're just running around karate chopping at this big beast's legs. lol I'm sure I'm probably missing better ways to battle but for a novice's viewpoint it feels silly.

So, my conclusion: It does have some fun factor to it. I am intrigued enough to give it a little more time as I still have plenty to learn in ways of crafting and upgrading. The quick outlook on it though is that I am glad I rented this from Gamefly vs purchasing the game outright.

I had to factory reset my PS4 after it started acting a little weird. It has been fine since then, but I didn’t consider the capture settings defaulted back to record the party audio/chat as well.

What can I say? This is a damn good shot in Hunt.

Very good shot, one of the rules of long range marksmanship is you dont shoot where they are, you shoot where they are going to be.

check out The Keef Crew video of "How sony fans reacted to Horizon Forbidden West gamplay!" on youtube. Can't post it here because of one word, but it made me laugh lololol

Just got done with the final boss in Sekiro. Probably took me 3 dozen tries, had to call it a night yesterday, but after a few attempts this morning I was consistently getting to the 2nd to last or the last phase so that was a good sign. Afterwards took care of an optional boss (more like an instant kill sequence). There is another optional boss that I can complete on this run. For the other remaining two optional bosses and other endings I'll have to start a new game + and make a backup of my save at the right times. Crazy that I deleted this game about a year ago since I was failing hard and now looking back those fights are easy lol

I'm assuming the guy that put the hit on him was photoshopped out of it lolol
