Dipped back into For Honor yesterday. What a great game that can be!

Would love a sequel on the new consoles.

It’s a live service game like Rainbow 6 so I wouldn’t hold m breath. It’s had loads of updates this past year though.

Judgment

It's cold, it's wet, it's new years, it's dark, and I'm back in my favourite place, Kamurocho.
This time, the neon lights glow a little brighter, reflected by the puddles in the road. This time it feels even more familiar, having visited the actual site in 2019, and taken flora on a "Yakuza tour" (she didn't care much for it).

This time it really does feel like an old familiar friend, as Kiryu has made his way off to the sunset and, in the maelstrom of a series of unfamiliar people, it is the constant character. Knowing how to get to Ebisu pawn was the highlight of my early playthrough.

This time the characters are slightly more eccentric, removing a lot of the po-facedness of the baggage of Yakuza.

This time the activities are actually activities and not just fetch em ups.


This time I'll 100% it, honest guv.

Been playing The Evil Within 2 as it was one of my only Steam Sale purchases and I fancied a game where you shoot things, and this might have some of the best headshots in any game? Massive stupendous schlorping messes at the end of yer shottie. What more can you ask for?

Typically it’s not really very survival horror, instead it’s a weird open world craft-and-allocate-points thingy, which is... surprisingly quite fun? It doesn’t quite hang together, but sneaking around and using your environment and limited resources against pretty tough (sometimes too tough) enemies is good, and it uses its samey suburban setting to deliver little horror vignettes in a fun way. It’s certainly passing the time amicably, and although it’s not Resident Evil 2, it’s certainly of a decent calibre.

Addicted. I should go bed. Need to learn more... how did he put this together?!

Playing in anticipation of then playing Telling Lies.

It's even worse than Tekken 3 force mode. Like, how??

It's mental, I think it tells the story thru all the tekkens till now.
Very strange game.

Tekken 6 is a mad game that tells me Namco are obsessed with volcanoes.

Last night I entertained a Tempy and a Kaz and we played, among others -

Switch
Smash Bros

Gamecube
Salt Lake Winter Olympics
Mario Kart DD
F Zero GX
Warioware

PS3
DJ Hero

Dreamcast
Godzilla
Ikaruga
House of the Dead 2
Sonic Adventure 2

Reg, I really want to have a games night and beverages with you all  Maybe this year I'll get over there!

Trying to work out if ghost of a tale is trying to be souls or if it's just terrible design and signposting. Doesn't want to give a hint of anything. I'll end up being completist about it through attrition trying to work out what to do next.

Lonely Mountains Downhill. I think it’s giving me RSI. Great game, it’s on gamepass on PC so it’s a bargain for essentially nowt. I hope they do a skiing based sequel.

Yeah. I’d been hoping it popped up as a freebie in the epic Christmas giveaway. Was gonna buy it too, glad I checked gamepass.

So glad you posted this, I nearly bought it! EG gave it their game of the year so wanted to give it a bash.

Someone needs to create a site that you can type in the name of a game and it will tell you (cross platform) whether it is available for free.

I don’t like to be pedantic but they didn’t

Heave Ho. I've finished it, but I'm still playing it (solo atm). I almost never do this. I often think 'I'm definitely going to play that again', but rarely do, it's just not something I've ever been into really, as there's always somehing else to play. Hopefully this is testament to how good this game is. Straight into my top 100 when I update in cinty's thread. Game of last year by a mile.
