I'm having a decent amount of fun. Just like open world fun. But yeah, the characters, man, so flat. Boozer? Deacon? Not a ton going on with them.

I found it hilarious, the way Deacon St John starts grumbling after you pass an infested area sounds ridiculous when you don't eve know its there. It is wooden in part, but it gets a bit better. I think it is simply a fun game that holds a hell of a lot of potential. I found it WAY more enjoyable than Last of Us 2.

I'm actually playing the PS4 Spiderman game atm. its basically a Batman Arkham type game.
I never played that one, but this storyline is clearly a continuation of that one. Agreed as well.

Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

It's getting better. It's open world stuff with a bike and zombies. The story is not good so far, I don't like any of the characters. Not really anybody. I like riding my bike and shooting zombies though.

Still playing CK3.. nothing but CK3. Love it. I've also dabbled a little in Anno 1800 and MLB The Show.

Started playing Kingdome Come Deliverance, Watch Dogs Legion and AC Valhalla again but all three petered out in a few weeks. Just hard to stay hooked once you've got like 30 hours in.

Was eyeballing it for awhile. N64 had a few great demo derby games. You put me over the top and I bought it. Its a fun time waster. Thanks!

They announced the next one will be on PS4 as well. If it and the new Horizon Zero are on PS4, no need for me to upgrade for a while. Those two games make the console.

Yep. I’m a Ratchet and Clank fan also but there’s no need to rush to play them.

Just finished the most recent God of War on the playstation. Went through the story mode rather quickly on my first run through and took my time with the 'plus mode' and finished it again. I can't kill those fucking Valkyries though. It's fucking impossible. I somehow beat 1 of them but that one would be a heavy favorite if there was ever a rematch.

All a matter of "reading" them and reacting.

Can't wait for the new one to be released!

As for the main purpose of this thread: playing Red Dead Redemption II atm.

Don't play FromSoftware games. They'd be too hard for you.

I downloaded a bunch of creation club mods for Fallout 4. I never actually played through to the Institute parts in previous playthroughs so I'm hoping to do that this time. Having a lot of fun. Still also playing Crusader Kings III. I'm obsessed with that game.

Evil Within 2. I buzzed through part one one the easy setting just to get through it. Taking my time playing this one on normal mode. Fun game, challenging enough for me. Probably pick up the newest Resident Evil game after this.

Thought it was overlooked. I liked it a pretty good bit. I think Tango Gameworks did a real good job with this game. Their new game Ghostwire Tokyo still looks pretty hype.

Help! I can't get into Red Dead Redemption II. It doesn't do anything for me. Am I a bad person?

Also started playing Grimdawn on PC. Not a bad diablo clone.

No. What's your problem with it? If it's because it's too slow and shambling you might as well stop now because that is that game for however many hours.

I don't think it's that, rather I just am not excited about anything in it. I also find the controls far too annoying at times. Other people say it just takes a while.

Maybe I should give Genshin Impact a try...

Couldn't get in to it at all.

This is coming from someone that completes every Rock Star game and I like the first Red dead. Many people thought it sucked.

The controls are unresponsive and the game felt like a slow, plodding chore.

Just finished it part 2. Fun game but didn’t care for the 1/2 hour movie at the end. Christ.
