    Cyberpunk,

    Finally picked it up on this sale with Phantom Liberty.

    Played about an hour so far, seems OK, have to get my Steam Controller setup properly for it still.

    I’ve finally been playing through Mad Professor Mariarti on the Amiga. I saw it played many times as a child but now I’m finally playing it myself - and beating it!

    Fallout New Vegas! I’m really enjoying all the characters that I have met so far, but I’m starting to realize that villifying factions right from the start isn’t the best idea when trying to get to new places

      Yo, I started FNV for my first time this week! A friend of mine is always raving about it, so he sent me instructions to get it all modded out (Viva New Vegas modlist), so I did that and I’m off to the races. So far so good… it was a bit of a grind to get past the first couple of quests (I kept getting my ass handed to me), but now that I’ve killed some convicts and stolen their stuff, I’m in much better shape. Also I figured out I can sleep in beds that aren’t red.

      I also heard that about not getting involved with factions yet…

    I’m playing Minecraft on the Wii U with my daughter… and since the eShop closed a while ago, I didn’t have any issues unlocking all skins and DLCs by…. Alternative means 😅

    I like the style of the Mass Effect texture pack, and it’s fun exploring the included map.

    MGS Ghost Babel! Obviously a little primitive because it’s a GBC game but the plot’s pretty exciting and holds up even today

    I’ve been playing Silent Storm a 2004 strategy RPG that is a total hidden gem. A little primitive but it feels a bit like the battle system from BG 3 with guns.

      Silent Storm was a fun turn-based tactics game! Not as polished as something like the Firaxis xcoms, but more complete than a lot of other non-fantasy tactics games I’ve tried.

        Sounds like I should try XCom. I bought every Humble Bundle for a couple years from it’s inception and I have 800+ games in my Steam library. I just played Silent Storm randomly and blind and was surprised.

      I experienced the whole original trilogy last year with a friend on coop. I get it now. Why so many people love Halo.

      Btw, Halo 2 and 3 are much better than the first one. If you already liked that, you’re in for a treat.

        I played a bit of Infinite coop - that game is super faithful, by way - and that was a lot of fun. Playing this in 2001 with a friend must have been fantastic fun.

        Incredible, I’m sure. Especially for people who weren’t playing on PC before - it generally stands up to Half-Life in a lot of ways, including the enemy movement and maybe even AI, but the cutscenes have that more traditional cinematic look. I love the constant immersion of Half-Life, but this feels like watching an awesome sci-fi action movie, like Aliens. There’s enough survival horror and cosmic horror vibes as well to keep you going.

          Consoles really didn’t have many good FPS until then. I’d say the Timesplitters series was a standout, as was Medal of Honor: Frontline.

          Both of those felt kind of on rails compared to Halo though. Wide open areas, three way battles, vehicles…

            Yeah, the vehicles and battlefield chaos are really well executed. It feels genuinely grandiose today, so it must have been mind blowing at the time. I can also tell the campaign is meant to teach you how to play multiplayer, which other games would go on to do in the years to come.

            There’s a lot of Battlefield 3 in there. Or the other way around, more appropriately.

      I wasn’t very patient with that one at the time, somehow managed to get it running on my PC though and had my mind blown. Such a good game, basically everything is fantastic apart from that library level.

        You know, having just played the Library level, I get the feeling that it was thematically necessary to drive home the scale of the cosmic horror you’re facing. It needs to be exhausting, overwhelming, unending…

        I tried it on PC in 2004 and all I got was a slide show.

    Playing through Hades 1. I never got out of Hades until this time around, and I’m having fun grinding to complete some of the fated choices and lounge renovations.

        That’s been my experience, too! I was a little worried, after I got out the first time, that I would have no more reason to keep playing, but they did a good job giving the player something(s) to keep working towards.
