You're exactly where I was when I was loving Returnal.
The 3rd world is stupid hard to the point where I was beating my head against a wall for 12 hours. Stopped being fun.
I will return to the game if they patch some sort of save system in at some point.

Anyone into horror/zombie games or FP shooters?
I've spent the weekend working on a side project with twitch streams of Back4Blood playing in the background.
The campaign mode looks pretty hardcore, ie actually difficult.
There's a PvP mode where 1 side plays as human survivors and the other side plays as zombies.
Thought it might be fun to get together a Match Cut team for a couple of nights and play together.
Game comes out in October and apparently supports cross-play --- so XBox can play with PS5 can play with PC.
Any interest?
PS: There's also friendly fire, so if nothing else this is your chance to shoot me in the back of the head.
I'm dying to play it.
bac0n and I used to play L4D regularly. Completely plastered, and seeing how far we could get using frying pans.
Hoping we can get up to some similar shenanigans.

Anything has a better single player campaign than World at War. It's the worst in the franchise.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
I have a friend who has several steam accounts maxed out with the amount of money you can have on them, due to the gambling wins from that counterstrike gambling era.
Count me in. If the upcoming aliens game is any good, I'd be down for that too.
Somebody better be streaming that shit so I can watch it.
I have been craving a shooter which is why I asked about the CoD games earlier.
Completely forgot they're by Activision.
Until there is meaningful reform in the company's practices, and it is acknowledged by the staff that the environment has changed, I will not be giving a single cent to Activision/Blizzard.
I am DYING to play Diablo 2 Remastered, but until things change there...nope.

Duke's our only streamer. I believe.
I played the shit out of it last Thursday but I didn't think I was allowed to stream it yet since it's still in beta.
Think Skitch wants it streamed with us at the helm.
So is it... good?
It's very good.
BUYING IT.
Idioteque, how have you found the PS5 UI so far?
I find it makes a lot of the user profile stuff really tough to find or navigate.
For example, the other day a coworker sent me a friend request. It popped up on the screen as I was taking a sip of water and I didn't hit the PS button fast enough before it disappeared. Now I cannot for the life of me find where my pending friend requests are so I can accept. It is nowhere to be found on my friends list, profile page, anywhere.

Honestly I haven't messed with the UI much at all, I've only played two games (Demon's Souls and Returnal, as promised, and I'm knee-deep in both and loving it). I will say the whole system is freaking fast. In terms of load times, the PS4 was a marginal upgrade compared to the PS5.
Been playing Resident Evil: Village the last few days, and let's just say that the [] is an all-time Resident Evil moment.
What the hell man. VO artist for Cortana murdered

If you mean the [] then yes. Never been more terrified in a RE game than that moment.
I didn't realize how much of The Surge I'd actually played.
In me memory it was only a couple of hours, an area or two. But I seem to be quite far into the game this time and I'm still in areas that I've seen.
I think a big part of this is just how samey everything looks. Industrial corridors and junkyards are all you ever see.
I hope The Surge 2 has some more varied environments.
I will say I love how weighty it all feels. I currently have a weapon that is almost like a helicopter blade that is grafted onto my right arm, and the windup and follow through of the blows feels so heavy and physically taxing to do. It's really cool.

That's the one.
Put a few hours into Hades and I dig it, and I can see why everyone raved about it, but at the same time ... Dead Cells?
Hades has great mechanics and movement but I think some of the choices -- multiple currencies, weird RPG trees, lotsa dialogues -- kill the game's momentum.
Also not a fan of the "challenge room" mechanic. I like exploration in my roguelites, no matter how shallow it may be. This game just runs me through a gauntlet and occasionally tosses out a boon. All the rooms look the same so far. There's no variation in environment. All fine bc the game's combat is great, just not my overall preference.
I'll play it a bit more for the helluva it. It's much better than the other Supergiant games but still ... when I quit to desktop, I immediately re-downloaded Dead Cells.
Also watched some dudes livestream Diablo II: Resurrected on twitch. Can't go for very long bc hearing this music again sends me back to ~1996 and makes my head spin.
My resolve to shun all things Blizzard is weakening tho, and I find myself actively rationalizing buying the game. Don't think I can do it, but the pull is strong.
I loved Hades. Played it to death on Switch. May re-buy on PS5.

I canceled my preorder over the Activision shit. I guess I'll have to play it in another life.
I imagine this is a problem on both PS5 and PS4 (maybe other consoles, too) but I experienced it on the PS5 last night.
As I mentioned in Random Thoughts, my router died out of the blue yesterday afternoon.
Jen went to fire up Stardew Valley. And even though it is not an online game, she can't play it without connecting to the internet.
The licenses for purchased games all exist online, so every game I have on my PS5 that I don't actually own a physical disc for is unplayable until my network is back up and running.
It does give the message that you can go into account settings and allow licenses to be downloaded to the system so games can be played online...but that doesn't do me any good, as I need the internet to do that.
So, long story short, if you live somewhere with connectivity issues, you should probably go into your account settings and set that up before you end up unable to play any of your digital games.
