    Dude Witcher 3 came out over 10 years ago! Haha

      and I played it for the first time like four years ago and it took me three years to beat the main story

      what’s the point of playing games at time of release if my hardware is five years behind and I have a huge backlog of games to play anyways

  They don’t make good games anymore

  okay you have GOT to play Sea of Stars. You ever want to play Chrono Trigger with a friend or spouse? It’s 3 player Chrono Trigger and the story is good.

    Thanks for the rec! Tons of great indies. I was referring specifically to huge budget games

    I fucking hated Garl. He had the same energy as “who had a better story than Bran” in GoT.

    But everyone in the game loved him so much more than I could even imagine.

    Anyway, the game is alright. A few too many nods to old RPGs and, imo, it didn’t stand on its own well enough.

      That’s fair. Not every thing out there is for everyone and this felt like fanservice writ just for me

    As soon as I can assemble my own polycule, this will be the first game we play.

    Followed by Slay the Spire 2 co-op.

      My wife just purchased a game for me and I am eager to play it, but it has to be couch coop for sea of stars, doesn’t it.

  I loved 2042 after they patched it but haven’t been able to get into 6 really

    I refunded 2042 so can’t really compare. But basically… It just plays really well. The guns feel very satisfying to use. Conquest mode feels like a true return to form. Great sound design and visuals.

    Bf1 is my favourite in the series for reference having played all except 2042.

    I doubt I’ll reach more than a few hundred hours in bf6 before I uninstall forever and go back to playing bf1 and bf4.

      Hmm yeah I think I’d really enjoy a Planetside 2 with modern military motif minus all the “simulation” (menu clicking) and learning curve of something like Arma. A quick search says the Super Hornet’s combat range is ~300mi, definitely not a “see the other side’s airfield as soon as you’re up” amount of distance.
