Is it worth buying an Xbox One S at this stage?
Katphood replied to BenjaminMason's topic in Computer and Console
No. Save some more money and buy either the new Xbox or just buy a One X. You don't wanna miss out on a 4K upgrade for games such as RDR1 or Mirror's Edge if you are buying an Xbox. I personally love my One X. It allows me to play old Xbox games such as KotoR 1 in 4K. So in conclusion: save money and buy either a One X or a Series X. But don't buy a One S. -

Ooops! I was at the garbage and decided to help Bes fight the bandits. So we kill all the bandits and he calls me over. But just as we are having a conversation, one of the bandits comes out of hiding and shoots Bes dead. Turns out one of them was still alive. Bes died. I have his 'special' AK-47 now. See? This is why I love this game. Should I try and keep him alive? Can't remember if there were further encounters with him or not. -

I am playing SoC with the Stalker Complete 2009 mod. I know a lot of people hate it but it is working just fine. I'll look for the right mods for Clear Sky. -

Replaying Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. Damn, this game is still ton of fun to play. Going for Clear Sky and Shadow of Pripyat after that. Never played the sequels so I am pretty excited to play them once I am done replaying Stalker. Also, still playing God of War on the PS4. It's...ok. I am not sure what to make of the story. I mean so far it has been... Maybe it will pick up later on but honestly, I'd rather play Stalker instead at any given time. -
Well, Phil Spencer has now announced that the name of the new console is just 'Xbox'... XD At this rate, why not just call it 'Xbox PC' and let people install Windows on it.

I loved the first game, never got around to playing the second game but I am keeping an eye on this one: Rock of Ages III

I always liked Postal 2 because it offered a different kind of 'Open-World' compared to other games. It had this smaller but more interactive world. I have played the game two times from start to finish and it always surprised me in weird ways. I still haven't played the Paradise Lost expansion that came out a few years ago. -
2019 In Games (and Screenshots): a (random) end of year review
Katphood replied to melkathi's topic in Computer and Console
The only 2019 release I played was: Death Stranding It was ok. I liked the setting but the story wasn't anything groundbreaking, as a matter of fact, it was all over the place. It really showed that these guys had a limited time and budget. I enjoyed the gameplay, save for the parts were I had to deal with the tacked on 'combat'. I enjoyed traversing the world though. Oddly enough, the part that enjoyed the most was, well...delivering packages. Big surprise! As for non-2019 releases: SOMA My personal GOTY 2019. The thing is, I went in blind. If you haven't played SOMA yet, don't bother reading the description. This is what I call a good story. This is a fine example of how you can make the gamer relate to characters. I also liked the puzzles. My only gripes with the game? a.it had bugs, I had to reload a few times...on the PS4 b. the stealth was obviously annoying at times but with the new update, you can 'turn it off'. Batman: The Telltale Series Well I'll be damned, I liked this! You want a gritty Batman game/movie? You got it. This is as gritty as it gets and I liked it. If you have any appreciation for Batman, give this a try. A very mature story that keeps you interested all the way to the end. What Remains of Edith Finch A very short experience, but one that I won't forget anytime soon. It's all about the things that you don't expect to happen...this game scared me. Not by jump-scares mind you, but by making me realize what is all possible in this scary world we live in. Resident Evil 0 I finally got around to finishing this. Sure, the item management WILL eventually get on your nerves, but that grim and foreboding feeling you get by exploring the mansion was something that kept me interested in the game. I guess it is also worth mentioning that I played the game on the easy difficulty setting. Didn't feel like getting stuck halfway through because the game can be pretty hard at times. Quantum Break Not bad...not bad at all. Certainly more enjoyable compared to Alan Wake. I liked the combat and gunplay and story certainly had it's moments. I will give it another go at some point and see how it plays out with different choices. Yup, that's about it. -

Playing God of War(2018) for the first time. Took me a few hours to get used to it but I'm liking it. It sure looks gorgeous though, and I am playing it on a base PS4. Also playing Drakengard on the PS2. Man, this game made me rediscover my love for the PS2. -

I might get back to Battleborn and finish the Singleplayer campaign now that Gearbox is pulling the plug on it. You'd expect them to let you play the singleplayer campaign but nooooo, the game will be unplayable according to Gearbox. Now I have no chance of playing the DLCs either. Digital distribution is the future they said... EDIT: This is a bonus I guess, anybody noticed this? -

Finished Death Stranding a while ago. It was pretty good. Combat was bad thought, that area felt totally tacked on/lacking. But now I am hearing stuff about Hideo Kojima wanting to do a horror game. That sounds like good news to me. Playing 2 games at the moment: -Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel -Drakengard They are both ok. I am enjoying Drakengard and its weird story quite a bit. Borderlands on the other hand is just mindless fun, good for the times when you want to shoot stuff. -
Serial Experiments Lain might just be the weirdest thing I've watched so far. It is both mysterious and weird. I also finished watching Blue Gender a few days ago. I enjoyed it.

Playing Perfect Dark on the Xbox One. Now I remember why I liked RARE's fps games so much back in the days: each level is like a small sandbox you get to explore. I was wondering what games give you a similar experience and the new HITMAN games came to mind.

Looks sweet!

They released this a while ago: http://kentuckyroutezero.com/un-pueblo-de-nada/ It is an interlude set between Act IV and Act V. I'd say the release shouldn't be all that far since the game is also being released for the Nintendo Switch. That is basically me but I quit hard drugs.
