it has been a while. nice to see some of the old crowd is still hanging around this thread.
over the year or so since last visiting, being the crazy year that it has, i've been through quite a few new good games and back through quite a bit more.
got the urge to finally finish Dark Souls 3, so played through DS1:Remastered & DS2(SotFS) again. though still haven't started up DS3 again yet...
The Surge was a great time. surprised i had never seen mention of it anywhere or ever heard of it until a friend turned me on to it. a very fun "Dark Souls style" sci-fi action\rpg.
started The Surge 2 but it was a stuttering clunky mess and too frustrating due to issues ingame. after a couple hours i've abandoned it.
have started Elex which is quite a bit dated but still pretty fun. i'm still picking it up for an hour or so every so often.
restarted and finished Kingdom Come: Deliverance. that was a great game with very fun melee combat and some interesting stories going on. the huge amount of interaction with NPCs everywhere made it very engrossing.
around October i got all of the available DLCs for Borderlands 3 and played through again. now they've added a bit more content with more to come, so am looking forward to playing again maybe later this year. those games crack me up and this one has some awesome battles and weapons.
when Peril On Gorgon came out i replayed The Outer Worlds and loved it again. some game updates and the added content made it an even better experience.
restarted and finally finished Far Cry 5 and still love the game.
also played through Fallout 4 again, heavily modded. another great time.
i noticed a few mentions of Fallout some pages back and the New Vegas: Wasteland. too bad it didn't come out when the game was still viable to me, it looks cool.
but, the very awesome Fallout news i've been following is the Fallout 4: New Vegas overhaul mod that is being developed.
i'm sure there's quite a few more that have just slipped my mind.
but the big deal for me was finally getting CyberPunk 2077.
i feel really bad for all of those that claim to be having such issues with the game. i had an awesome experience and loved the game. 130+hrs and i really didn't encounter many bugs or problems. some item\NPC clipping and some issues with dialogue but probably only a dozen or so all together through the entire game that were easily fixed by reloading saves. and i saved constantly so it never was a problem in itself.
a couple mods and a savegame editor made it an even better experience with fully customized keybindings and few other changes.
can't wait to finally get my hands on a new RTX card to replay with all of the settings pumped up.
am currently playing Horizon Zero Dawn. while it's fun enough to keep me going for now, it's definitely not the best game i've played recently. combat can be fun and some of the side quests are interesting but the main quest and main NPCs seem to be rather boring. also not really a ton of options for customization; while there's a few different versions of armor and weapons, they mostly just increase stats the more money they cost so there's really not much for different paths to take character stat-wise. i'm maybe a 3rd of the way through the game and have almost maxed out my leveled stats. so this also doesn't give a whole lot of options to customize your character towards a certain path of development.
