I never played Elder Scrolls outside of Skyrim, but the ES4: Oblivion remaster just came out yesterday and it looks incredible.

I’ve made it through the tutorial. It’s definitely still janky as hell (part of its charm) and runs worse than OG Skyrim, but it’s still a massive upgrade from the original game.

I got addicted to Skyrim once I figured out how to play. I don't want to get addicted, is this something you can casually play here and there? Right now I think I'm sticking with AC Shadows until Mario Kart World comes out.

It looked as expansive as Skyrim was, but I'd imagine you could pick it up for an hour or 2 at a time and still get plenty out of it.

Man, they have gotten their money's worth with all of these rereleases and remasters. Holy moley.

If any games need a facelift it’s those Elder Scrolls games, they’re so ugly lmao

Just want to point out the game I've been hyping, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, comes out tomorrow and had the review embargo lifted today. It sits at a 92 on Meta/OpenCritic with a lot of big sites already weighing in.

Can’t WAIT to start playing!

Yeah I won't get to sit down with it until tomorrow night but I'm psyched to try it. The reviews have been fantastic.

I find I don't like most games nowadays, LOL. I'll give you my honest opinion once I do try it.

Same, i barely even buy games anymore. If i buy 2-3 in a year that is a lot.

I bought Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Just messed around with some characters local vs with my son. It feels heavier / slower than KoF, and not sure what Christiano Ronaldo is doing here, but I still play Garou from time to time and this sequel hopefully has that kind of lasting impact.

When they’re this good across the board the game is almost always at least pretty good.

Steam's refund policy is pretty lenient. You can own the game for up to 2-3 weeks, or play up to 2-3 hours and still get a full refund. That's how I always try out games I'm on the fence about and that window is usually more than enough to know if you'll enjoy the rest of the game.

I finally beat Baldurs Gate 3 last night. What an epic game. The end battle was a little disappointing, but man that game was fun.

Gonna start another run through

Relaxing on a couch, playing a game on the big screen is much more enjoyable than sitting at a desk playing a game any day of the week.

Oh me too which is why I never joined the PC master race, but I do miss out on the whole Steam thing .

And NSFW Tifa mods in FF7

That's my least favorite thing about PlayStation. Their refund policy is terrible. It only exists for preorders. If you preorder a game you can refund it up until either it downloads to your console or until the game releases. So like with Expedition 33 I got nervous, and turned off the pre-release download, because if reviews came out and it sucked, I would have already downloaded it so I couldn't get a refund. It's awful.

The new Fatal Fury is really technical for a fighting game. Lots of mechanics and systems. I might be getting too old and ragged in my fighting game skills these days for this, but that would mean I stand no chance at the upcoming Virtua Fighter game so I must persevere and shake off the rust.

That's such a bizarre policy, wtf? I miss just owning a cart/disc.

Reviews for that game look really solid at least, so I think you're safe. I just came across a comment that says "Getting to play this and Oblivion Remastered in the same week is like Barbenheimer."

 

[Do you want ants]

Got about 2 hours in to Expedition 33 yesterday and I really like the story, battle system and skill tree options so far. No real wonky glitches or gameplay so far either.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Too many games on my want list and none of them are going on sale

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Absolutely insane for a brand new studio to pull numbers like this, and this isnt enough counting all the people playing on Game Pass.

I’m starting tonight!
