If you like other zombie apocalypse games such as Dead Nation, How to Survive and State of Decay, then I think that you will like it.

Yea 2014. Other big games that year were Bayonetta 2, Dark Souls 2, Shadow of Mordor, Shovel Knight, Stick of Truth (my personal pick), Destiny, The Evil Within, Diablo 3, Sunset Overdrive, Hearthstone, and Divinity Original Sin. Not a great year but it was weird to see it win so many awards. You would thought to see more diversity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Finally started playing GT7 on my PS5. Looks pretty mostly but at times it looks really bland. No texture detail really on parked transport trucks. Just look like plain rectangular boxes of mostly white and nothing really else. I would hazard to say with my limited playtime (3hrs) that FH5 looks better from a gameplay standpoint but no denying the controller is a real selling point for this game. You feel the bumps, tight corners and especially wet surfaces. Probably put some more game time into tonight after work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyHell Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Triangle Strategy. I'm on vacation, so no PS5 to play Elden Ring on. I started it last night, and I really like it so far.

You can tell the vast majority of the effort was put into the cars. Which look incredible. Some of the really lush areas look good with weather effects, and overall the environments look pretty good, but when you stop squinting your eyes and look at some of the detail (some of the panning shots pre-race for example), and it looks pretty bland in spots. I really dig the overall vibe of the game though. Chill and just almost a reverence for cars lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imthesoldier Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Last week, I finished Doom Eternal on Switch (a Masterclass in Switch ports I might add), and now continuing with Ass Creed Unity on PC, plus just started diving into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

All the 48 tracks included in Booster Pass are existing tracks "remastered" from earlier games, some of which from the more recent MK Tour as well. Depending on your experience with MK in years past, however, that could be a good, or bad thing. For me, I haven't really dived into a MK game since MK64, so all those tracks from GCN, Wii, 3DS, and MK Tour will all be new to me. Still, for 25 bucks, 6 waves of content, each wave including two new GP Cups + 8 tracks, it's I think a hell of a deal for DLC. And since I bought MK8D just last week during the MAR10 sale, altogether, I'm spending just a smidge over the amount of the full price the game normally would cost. It comes out to a little over 2 dollars per wave in the end over the course of into 2023. If you're a fan of MK8D, you almost can't not buy it imo.

Not dissing in any way, I'll be getting them and I haven't played any Mario kart other than the 64 version and M8 so they will be nice, I was just stating what I read! Didn't know about the sale but I waited and waited for a very long time to get in at a sale price {Mario Kart 8} but finally caved! I owned it once before but lost almost my entire library of switch games in the Camp Fire. I had almost all games in cartridge form, I have no rethought my whole idea of physical vs Digital trust me. I bought it for 49.99 and it's the game the kids and grand kids play the most. I only had Breath of the Wild in the switch and it was thrown in the truck was the only reason I had any AAA titles for the switch post FIRE . I bought the Booster pack because of the courses and the N64 emulations but after seeing what they offer the online pack was enough for me thus making me now have to buy the DLC because correct me plz if I'm wrong, don't you have to have the complete online sub plus booster to even play them? Kind of like games with gold, drop the sub lose the games unlike the PS+ games. I always liked that Sony let you keep them. Not that I'm dropping Game pass or PS+ anytime soon!

To play MK8 online, you must have an NSO subscription, which is typical for all Switch titles. For playing MK8D Booster Pass online though, only ONE person in your online group is required to have it.

As long as at least one of the players you are matched with online has access to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass, it is possible to play on one of the included courses if players vote for it. A Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) is required to play online, and your Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game must be updated to the latest software version.

TheLeon Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I needed something to distract me from Elden Ring for a bit. I tried Tunic, thanks to the surprise Game Pass release. It’s charming, but I don’t know if it’s something I’ll stick with. I can’t really articulate what it is, but something about the way it plays is bugging me.

Phaseknox Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I started playing Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, and I’ve been enjoying it. I’m playing as Catti-Brie the archer, and she has good ranged and melee attacks. The game is a rather linear action focused third person dungeon crawler with an emphasis on combat and looting, there’s some platforming and traps as well that make the levels more interesting. It kind of reminds me of a game that would have come out during the PS3/Xbox 360 console generation. It’s similar to Golden Axe: Beast Rider from that time which I really liked.

gamer.tv Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Played the opening of RE3. It was cinematic and if I’d never played a video game, would have been intense. That said, I’m looking forward to a streamlined RE experience, especially as I only spent about £13 on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
