Jaysin Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I've been hooked on a Pokemon clone called Coromon and it's so fun. The monsters designs range from cute to cool and the gameplay feels familiar. My ADD really hinders my video game playing, but Coromon has really held my interest.

Kubikiri Asa Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Can't wait for Mutant Football League 2 to be released so that the devs start work on the Mutant Hockey League. Can't wait to play the dynasty version of MHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swanton825 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I keep wishing someone would finally make a decent arcade hockey game again so here's hoping MHL will be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't a huge fan of Mutant Football League (in that I was crap at it 😁) but loved the concept of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have also spoken about Mutant Basketball League, but that is still a maybe. I've not seen them confirm it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 It's hard to believe but I FINALLY started the Dragonborn expansion from Skyrim. How long's it been? Honestly I'm not too impressed and the game, though it still looks amazing with all the gfx mods, does start to bore a little after all these years. Still haven't tried some of the renowned full world mods but I should before I eventually deinstall it. Trying to stop myself from doing that as I'm almost positive that TESVI (when it released in 2024) will be worse than Skyrim+mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to stop myself from doing that as I'm almost positive that TESVI (when it released in 2024) will be worse than Skyrim+mods. That's pretty much the trend of all TES games, Skyrim was worse than Oblivion (to most, I never liked Oblivion), which was worse than Morrwind, which was (depending on who you ask) worse than Daggerfall, which was buggier than Arena. You can always tell which TES game was someone's first because it'll always be the one they say is the best. And because I know it's tempting to try them once you get bored of the game, I'll go ahead and warn you that those combat overhauls people rave about for Skyrim don't actually fix the combat so much as make it even more janky. If I want more jank in my open world RPG, I'll play a Piranha Bytes game thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Honestly what I enjoy most is just traveling from A to B. The combat is fine but not what I'm looking for in the game. The Piranha Bytes games seem nice and might do a better job in terms of open-world, but unfortunately don't look as good. I never finished one (unsure) as I failed to immerse.

Yes, but man, I've clocked HUNDREDS of hours in Skyrim. It's in my top five most played games behind TEW, Chrono Trigger, Perfect Dark 64, and Shadowrun for Sega Genesis. I also like to roleplay my characters in Skyrim. Like right now, I have a character based on Kain from Blood Omen/Soul Reaver and I am having a blast. Also, if anyone has any 8 bit/16 bit style Switch games to recommend, I'm all ears! Been on a retro kick lately.

I never finished one (unsure) as I failed to immerse. Unfortunately, their lower budgets will always mean they lag behind graphically. Gothic 1+2, Risen and ELEX are all games that I would heartily recommend to people, the satisfaction of going from a powerless nobody to a powerhouse in them is second only to Souls games IMO, but they do come with the caveat that they require a bit of patience with the jank. I'm more of a combat-inclined player (I struggle to play as anything but a mighty character who solves their problems by hitting things really hard lol) so I can't think of any good exploration games off the top of my head. You'd think somebody would have tried to bring back the adventure game spirit of wandering around and solving puzzles but instead it's all just walking sims. 5 minutes ago, Jaysin said: My first Elder Scrolls was Morrowind, but I love Skyrim.

Just had to prove my sweeping generalization wrong, didn't you? Also reminds me that I need to really sit down and play the 16-bit Shadowruns. I've played a bit of the Genesis version but panicked once I started and didn't immediately know what I was doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I could never get into the SNES Shadowrun, but the Genesis game is one of my top five games ever. Next paycheck I'm buying the Shadowrun Returns trilogy on Switch. I have two of the games on Steam already, but man, Switch is just so handy. The only issue I've really had with my Switch is in hand held mode, the graphics for games like Outer Worlds kinda loses its shine. Just too many resources for it to really handle. Started Pokemon Sword, yes I'm behind and I'm having a blast. I started with Grookey because it's final evolve looked too cool to pass up. Also, Yamber is the goodest boi.

Pokemon Sword/Shield were pretty good fun, dunno why they're as maligned in the wider internet. Looking forward to Scarlet/Violet dropping, Greavard is the goodest ghost friend.

Dawn Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 COD MW2 has the best single player campaign of the series in ages. Probably since the original one, really. I'm not touching online COD ever, but I was pleasantly surprised at the offline experience and will be awaiting MW3 with hefty expectations for a followup.

It's been ages since I did another FPS. I never play MP. Used to do the campaigns back when it was easy to borrow/trade games. I'm not paying premium for a 5-hour experience, even though it might be thrilling. So I guess I'll be waiting a couple of years until it drops to its lowest price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it comes with the territory as online is the bread maker. But it was definitely the strongest campaign in a long time even if it stays too safe in a few fronts that I won't elaborate as to not spoil.

guyver3 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Picked up ragnarok yesterday and managed to find a few hours to start it. After finishing a few main quests I seriously contemplated calling into work this morning something that a game hasn’t made me consider doing since Last of Us 2.

Fleisch Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Stupid Xbox sales... Not sure how I'm getting through this backlog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Gotta get that 500th game though! I'm not buying anything as long as my backlog exceeds 5 games, which it does atm. And if I keep playing the same games that won't help. Price-wise sites like GMG keep the same level of these "black friday" sales anyway. By the time the Winter Sale hits (literaly 3 weeks after 'black friday sale') I probably still wouldn't have worked through 1 game. I learned to just delete games off the backlog as I had 30+ at a certain time (the time of the "bundles" :p). Gotta be realistic. Yet with everyone and their backlogs people are still playing poorly optimised games like the latest Pokemon. They really can't wait, can't they?
