Sony’s ps5 offerings have been so disappointing. :lol:

a major selling point of the n64 were as follows: 3d graphics, 64 bits rather than 32, and an upgrade to 'realism'. to our 2026 eyes, it looks like microwaved dogshit, but back then, it was very much marketed on its fidelity.

Fiat currency. Needless foreign conflicts constraining global supply chains. A recent global shutdown we never really recovered from. AI pressure on component prices.

Life is good. :lol:

I’ve been having a great time with it.

Recently picked up a decent racing wheel. My maiden voyage with it wasn’t as seamless as I’d hoped but need to tinker with config settings to see if I can get it working adequately.

It’s great on a gamepad in the meantime.

I played the absolute shite out of 4 but I bounced off 5 for whatever reason. This one seems to have hooked me over the weekend.

Started with 2.

The only design that ever truly felt off or bad was the N64. Its aged terribly as well. Single analog stick? Get the frick out of here.

I mostly use kb/m or an elite Xbox controller on my pc at this stage. I don’t have any issues with the dualsense. Adaptive triggers are a neat concept. Just not widely supported by pc titles unfortunately.

beat the game on normal difficulty and did the extra content that unlocks post completion.

Trying a fresh run on lunatic and it's definitely more of a challenge. Managed to get through first boss in solar power facility and it took me multiple attempts.

Wish the lunafilament drop rates were a little higher because I got used to my upgraded weapons, hacks, and abilities. Sweating out here. :lol:

I was just pleasantly surprised that I liked this game as much as I have so far.

The trailers Capcom put out didn’t grab me at all. Some of the last minute previews/hype right before launch grabbed my attention.

A new AAA ip that isn’t dogshit and seemingly sticks the landing on its first iteration is a breath of fresh air.

I might be enjoying this more than requiem. Need to finish before I can say for certain.

I’ve had a few crashes on pc in the shelter when making upgrades but turning off path tracing seemed to mitigate most of that issue.

Aside from that, I can’t say anything negative about my experience thus far. It’s nothing groundbreaking but it’s a well done competent action/sci fi game.

I’ve heard it described as “dad space” and I’d call that accurate. No body horror like dead space but similar vibes in terms of setting aside from that.

Having a little time to think on this game, its definitely a middle of the pack game. I can appreciate the premise of two separate resident evil styles being blended together, but I think the high point was the hospital. Wish they could have kept the pacing a little more even with exploration versus action. Grace was left with very little to do on the back end and her role ultimately didn't feel super consequential for me. You could have had a lucky guess to come up with 'hope' by reviewing some of Spencer's journals/musings in his final years.

I'm still laughing at 'not Wesker' being there simply to throw up a little fanservice until he gets unceremoniously decapitated. I figure he was just there to get people used to the idea of Wesker clones so they can find a way to resurrect Albert. Another fun theory I read is that since he was affiliated with the Connections, he could potentially have mold powers that elpis would not have cured and could potentially be 'saved' since mold monsters are damn near unkillable. Time will tell.

I thought everything was an xbox.
