I'm going to start NHL 24 today. I haven't played one since 09.

I wouldn't.
Normally I can look past the faults of the NHL game every year and still find some enjoyment out of it. I bought this year's (on discount) because Makar was on the cover, but the game really just sucks balls.

Not Great, Bob!
You know what, I think NHL 09 is probably the better game.

It took me a period and a half to figure out how to win a faceoff.

Dragon's Dogma was absolutely nuts in a good way. One of my favorite gaming experiences of the last decade. Me and my pawns, climbing on monsters stabbing them in the neck. Good times.

That's what the commentator said when the first game I played at home started.
In other news I'm doing one of the HUT moment things and playing on a difficulty that isn't semi-pro and I can't actually touch the puck.
Did they not even bother to fact check? And shouldn't Pounder have known better when he was recording the line?

I don't know who Pounder is but he's not Jim Hughson and Don Taylor so what difference does it make?

For any of you who might enjoy simulations, I've been playing the football version of this game and decided to try the hockey version a few weeks ago (it's free and web-based) :

You can customize it and change the team names and add the real logos if you so choose.

Solid EA commentary. If you play FIFA/FC, you can have a grand time hearing about how you have a chance to clinch the title during every single remaining league game after you’ve won even if you’ve already had the trophy presentation

Since then we've had Patrik Elias' name pronounced wrong (like Elias Pettersson, rather than Eliash which it should be because there's an accent over the s) and one of the 3v3 HUT modes being first to 3 wins... but if you make it to overtime it's NEXT GOAL WINS! and HE SCORES THE GAME WINNER IN OVERTIME!!!!!!!! before play resumes.
Sounds about right. I’ve known a few people who were developers for EA out of Vancouver and well it doesn’t surprise me how much junk that company puts out. I still like playing manager mode in FIFA/FC though. It’s the only way I‘ll ever see Forest hoist a major trophy (not counting ones before I was born)

Did you say this because of the news of the 2nd game coming out? I hadn't even heard of Dragon's Dogma until this morning but the 2nd game has piqued my interest for sure.
Now I understand why Palworld is addicting. Spent some time with it today.
Close to finally finishing Starfield. It has its warts but I think it’s great.

Playing NHL 24 goalie be a pro mode last night. Was in the year 2027 and joined the Avs in free agency. Mikko had left in free agency and signed with Philly, and Kaprizov signed with the Avs. The top line was Kaprizov, Mac and Nuke, it was disgusting, they all finished the season over 100 points.

Yeah. On the surface I should hate this game. But it I can't stop playing once I start it ("just one more task").

I just finished the Batman series. Took me forever to wrap up Arkham Knight because I hated the driving mechanics. Been putting off the last two or so hours since before Thanksgiving.
I'm torn between starting the Dragons Age (got the series bundle on steam) or Cyberpunk. Any suggestions? I will eventually get to both, but is one more "must play" than the other?
Biggest problem with the steam sale is how quickly you can accumulate titles. I'm finally catching up on the backlog and these are the only two series I've left untouched. Until the next sale.
