I recently tried out Overwatch 2. My only real annoyance so far is not being able to text chat because my account is "too new" (I've had my battle.net account since Warzone 1 came out)
 
Konami has to start actually making games again since japan started cracking down on pachinko parlors. Except to see more crossovers (like the Dead Cells one) while new games in the various IP they own get ramped up.
If they bring back Rocket Knight Adventures, all will be forgiven
 
Been playing some PS1 games on Duckstation. It works better than ePSXe. I have more PS1 ISO's than I had actual physical games when I owned a PS1. I can go back and try the games I didn't get to play or I refused to spend the money on because you know money.
I legitimately had thoughts about wanting to buy a Sega Game Gear on this April Fool’s Day because I thought it would be funny.
Someone mentioned the capacitor issue with the Game Gear. This is an actual issue. They are known for having capacitors burst. Get a GBA and get an Everdrive for GBA. With the GBA everdrive you can emulate Game Gear games on the GBA. It can also play NES games Master System games and of course GBA games. You just need the ROM's.

Anyone interested in that new game Dredge on Steam?
It looks like the same sort of idea as Sunless Sea (piloting a steamboat in a hostile ocean with monsters), but with actual gameplay that actually looks decent.

Its pretty good a zone out/chill out game. The Tetris/Resident Evil 4 mini game of trying to stack as much fish into the hold as possible works pretty well while dealing with the light Eternal Darkness madness system fucking with you. Exploring always pays off so it always worth it to bouncing around the ocean looking for things. The game starts off kind of slow until a few upgrades in but nothing too annoying.
 
This is going to be a bit of a stretch...
Did any of you play Subnautica, and when you built the Submarine was just blown away with OMFG I have a massive mobile base, I thought this was just going to be a bigger seaglider this is fucking awesome?
Any games that replicate that moment?
 
EA Sports' PGA Tour golf title is releasing on April 7, 2023. Next generation and PC only, $70 for the standard edition. It actually looks quite impressive. Deluxe Edition includes in game currency, Masters' gear and ... Madden NFL 23 All-Madden Edition. $85.

If/when I get an Xbox Series X, this may be my next-gen game of choice. I hope the character creator is in-depth. Then again, it's EA so... I'm getting hyped over freaking GOLF.
 
I can get a 500GB external SSD on Newegg for a little less than $70. I am going to get one of the Samsung brand SSD's in blue and turn it into an emulation drive. I got a bunch of PS1 ISO's and some SNES and Genesis games plus the emulators for them. I already got a 1TB dark grey Samsung SSD dedicated to the PS3. With a bunch of PS3 games most of them I own so I just ripped them from the Blu-Ray using the external BR drive I own. Luckily I bought the right model at the time because they call can't be used to do this. It was just faster to copy them over than download them. RPCS3 can't read games straight from the BR drive. You have to copy them from the disc,

Anyone know of any good fishing games on the PS1?
 
And it looks like another E-Sports team may be biting the dust soon, as rumors are about that Counter Logic Gaming will be selling itself off:

 
Today I broke my "no preorders" policy.

You see, Crusader Kings III got a new DLC yesterday, but it was only available to owners of "Chapter II". I do own the released DLCs in that pack, but I would have to wait until probably 2024 to own all the DLCs in the pack, so preordering the Euphrates expansion was basically the only option left to me.

The DLC I would have missed out on? Three special outfits for emperors of the HRE...
 
Quick correction, the Madden 23 offer is only for pre-order.

Why buy sports game if you have EA Play or Game Pass Ultimate? I hope PGA Tour will be a platform instead of annualized.

Are these games not the same bloody thing for a decade at least but with updated rosters and graphics?
 
If you like RPGs I suggest you look into "Colony Ship: a post-earth role playing game". Its in early access, but I think about 75% is done.
I have not looked it up, but I have strong suspicions it was made by slavs. It has all the good marks- hard gameplay, hard choices, hard consequences.
Basic gist is that your character is on a Colony ship. And has always been on the ship, like everyone he knows. Because its a millenium colony ship that has traveled for 300 years already and will travel for hundrets more. Ship is in the shit stage, many decks have collapsed and the vast majority of population lives in squalor and poverty, growing dangerous, but eadible plants, "diving" into collapsed mess of decks in hopes of fishing out something valuable while dodging ancient security systems. And, off course, everything everyone has has been recycled hundrets, thousands of times, including bodies (enjoy your free nutritional pills).
And deeper lore is even more interesting, at least to me

Humanity has never developed FTL travel. Every flight is made monotonusly, over dozens of years. This also means that the ships are inherently gargantuan to haul as much as possible in a sigle go.
The Ship your character on is an ancient decomissioned cargo hauler, capable of carrying nearly endless ammount of cargo. Or to build a city inside of it.
It was bought by a christian cult (or sect, it not exactly specified) which wanted to escape the "merally decaying Earth" and fly towards a planet, designated as habitable.
About 50-100 years into the journey there was a twist- they got the detailed photos of the planet surface from the deep space probes. And they saw small villages on the surface. Native sentient life, which by the time the ship gets there will be in about late medieval- early renaissance.
And the problems ran deeper even. Because christian fundamentalists didnt have that much money the ship was refurbished and supplied on the cheap. The crew was supposed to build colonial equipment during the flight. Not to mention cramped space and nessesity of hard work to keep the ship afloat. Their destination might have been a paradise, but the vessel was anything but.
The society was separated into rulling class (religious leaders and the ship's crew, capable of controlling the space leviathan, their security and the poorer workers). Tensions build over the years as the elites were living in relative luxury (think tine appartments and sometimes artificial meat and hydroponic vegetables) and the workers lived in dystopian factories (think sleeping pads and the disgusting nutrition pills 99% of the time). The revolt happened, followed by the civil war which lasted for about 30-50 years. As the sides battled each other their goals expanded and changed and now its a one big stalemate.
The ship is in the shit state, ship control and mission control decks have been melted into a big mess by the war, hydropinic desks have been neglected and turned into deadly toxic jungles, security is a death trap of automated security.
So this is where the player character lives- in a mess of shipping containers, in a tin can which might not even be on course anymore, where every day is a battle.
Christianity and religion play a noticable place in the story and its refreshing to see developers not holding back their creativity.
 
There hasn't been an EA golf game since ... 2015. Here's hoping that this one is built from the ground up.
I, too, crave some good golf vidya. I 100%'d GTA5 years ago, but it remains installed so I can play golf occasionally and listen to self radio. Been hooked on golf games since Microsoft Golf 3.0. I miss MS Golf and the Links franchise. Jack Nicklaus's Perfect Golf is also decent. But I don't really want online play or microtransactions. I like the old school PC golf games. Tiger Woods, EA Games and 2k sports can suck scrote.
 
Anyone played Fear and Hunger? I listened to couple of lore videos on it, the game sounds like something that is nigh unplayable due to being a randomly generated RPG roguelike with literal coin flip bullshit death, RNG dependent save ability and hunger/sanity doom timer. It's notable for being edgy as shit and looking like the plot has rich world building (though it might just be how unorthodox it is).

Its sequel is seemingly slightly more playable because they dropped the random generation and there are actual standard way to save the game, though it has a tranny and furry Do Not Steal which spells bad things about the creator.
