Video Games - Watcha playin'?

[Zehava]

Crusader Kings 2 (brushing up for CK3), but also found the amazing 100 Stat Man series from The Spiffing Brit

Also a little bit of Imperator: Rome

Been on a bit of a Paradox Interactive spree as of late.

That game was terrific. It's not especially challenging and too short, but loads of fun just the same. The narration is hilarious and Chris Parnell delivers every line flawlessly. There's one point where your shark encounters mines tethered to the sea floor. The narrator tells us something to the effect that the town council really wanted to remove these mines, but blew the entire city budget hiring a Nickleback tribute band to play the 4th of July celebration.

I'm hoping for some DLC.

I've had a lot of time on my hands these past few months, I've completed Assassin's Creed:Black Flag, Assassin's Creed:Syndicate, Assassin's Creed:Origins (which has been my favorite in the series due to the fact that it's ancient Egypt)

I'm playing Control now. I really don't like first person shooters but I'm a sucker for all that X-Files type stuff so the storyline was intriguing to me. I'm at the last bit now and am irritated because I keep dying.

I started playing Astroneer yesterday. It is a fantastic exploration and crafting game.

Isn't Control played third person?

My nephew was nice enough to gift me Slay The Spire for my birthday. It is really cool.

Cyberpunk 2077

Yes it has issues, especially on consoles, but the world is amazing.

Playing on PC so the issues there are mainly bad animations, sound glitches, etc. I have yet to run into a game breaking problem. Most annoying things, like randomly not being able to fire a weapon while aiming, are fixed on a save/reload.

See you in Night City, chooms.

Allow me to flog Cyberpunk 2077 on Stadia:

Cyberpunk 2077 shines on next-gen consoles and Stadia, but older hardware struggles - The Verge

That was literally the first nice thing The Verge has ever had to say about Stadia, so we were pretty excited by it.

I thought Stadia worked quite well, but my gaming has been so minimal as of late it wasn't worth the subscription costs.

I am glad to see Stadia die. Now we need XCloud and PS Now to follow.

16 hours played in the last 30.

And it’s not even a brilliant and innovative game, it’s just. Adorable.

Hint: even though they’re typically stuck to following a path, the paths, and many buildings, can be built underwater.

I bought myself a Nintendo Switch - mostly because I kind of like the idea of playing something handheld with the option of putting it on a big screen.

It came with a year of free Nintendo Online, so I got the NES and SNES simulators. I was reminded that I kind of like old NES game, but I always sucked at them.


I also downloaded Hades.

Hades is a Rogue-like game. You play a son of Hades who wants to escape Tartarus. You are aided by the Olympian Gods who give you boons which improve your gameplay. The game has an interesting concept - you're supposed to die, over and over again, building up your character until you can make it through. It's fun and pretty.
