Anybody pick up Days Gone? Pretty far into it and I love it. Had a very slow start but once everything starts opening up it’s addicting. Reminds me of a hybrid of like TLOU and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Got the platinum for Days Gone. VERY long game but yea after spending so much time wit it I can definitely say it’s up there as far as open world games go. Game is fantastic. Reviewers hoed the fuck out this game and it’s a shame. I know it released really buggy but I got the game bout a month and a half after release and it was already patched and I ran into essentially zero glitches. Game crashed on me ONCE in 70+ hours of play and there were some bad framerate drops but that’s about it.
Did any of yall pick up CTR Nitro Fueled? Game is great but I forgot how much legitimately harder it is than Mario Kart lmao. On Mario Kart 8 I can beat even 200cc. On CTR I jus now got good enough to 1st place normal and I’m finally bout to attempt hard lmao. The power sliding mechanic is almost counterintuitive since you have to turn AGAINST the drift, which is a shame since it’s so essential. Whereas Mario Kart controls more natural like a “real” racing game like Need For Speed, Midnight Club, etc.
Yea Ultimate Alliance 3 is game of the year for me only behind Kingdom Hearts 3. It’s not mindblowing in it’s mechanics or anything but fuck it is jus FUN. Like that back to basics arcade style fun like what video games should be. Shit gets insanely addicting once you beat the game and start grinding out the Infinity Trials.
Only complaint is that when it comes to efficiency, especially on the higher difficulties, you don’t have “actual” choice when it comes to building your team if you want the strongest possible outcome. For instance, the team I’m running is Daredevil, Ms. Marvel, Thor, and Wasp. And Ms. Marvel and Wasp specifically would have never been on my team if I was picking actual favorites, but as it stands, those 2 are literally the most lethal characters in the game because of their synergies. It’s convenient that Daredevil is simultaneously one of the top 3 in the game and also arguably my favorite Marvel character period, but if I was able to build a team of actual favorites it would look more like Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Thanos. Hoping Moon Knight and Punisher are monsters when their DLC pack drops.
For me its a toss up between Kingdom Hearts 3 and Devil May Cry 5. But Im just starting to get into new games from this year. I started Gato Roboto, and its lit so far though.
Speaking of Crash, finally at a point where I’m on hard and managed to get 1st in the first 2 races, but honestly I don’t feel like I even want to finish the adventure mode on hard. Even being actually good enough to even win on hard, it’s the cheapest kind of difficulty I ever seen in my life. It’s even more item reliant than Mario Kart is. Only on hard cause it’s not an issue at all on normal, to the point that it was actually a heavy preference over Mario Kart cause it makes it more skill reliant rather than hoping you don’t get fucked by items. That all goes completely out the window on hard to a disgusting level lmao. Spent over an hour of replays jus to get the cup in TWO tracks. And every L was essentially the exact same story: Race perfectly, keep a constant turbo thru all 3 laps, hit every shortcut, stay in 1st the whole race, only to get conveniently hit by a rocket right before the finish line and drop to 8th in .2 seconds. Shit is so fucking cheap and the kind of difficulty I can’t STAND is when you win by chance.
