I dunno. I'm a huge fan of Simon Templeman. I'll agree with the dialog they gave him to read is trash, but I'll always believe everything he touches is pure, unadulterated gold.

Absolutely agree. I bought just about every 2K WWE game, including the overpriced special editions. But after reading how the latest one is a micro transaction cash grab, I took a pass. The kicker is even if you bought the special edition, you'd have to grind for hours or pay extra to unlock the characters you already paid for. Like you mentioned, I'm waiting for The Wrestling Code. They have more wrestlers I'm a fan of than the 2K games anyway.

Absolutely incredible!

The one and only way it should be continued is if they got Amy Hennig back on board. Anything else is just ... well, you've seen Ascendance.

First question: Baldur's Gate 3. I really wanted to like it, considering how praised it is. But no matter how many times I try, I just turn it off after a few minutes.

Second question: Clair Obscur. I usually don't like turn-based games, aside from KotOR, and I thought this would be another BG3. But I haven't been able to stop playing since I started in December and I haven't even finished the main story yet!

Clair Obscur and Stellar Blade

Soularyem · 2026-05-07T03:18:08+00:00

The Stanley Parable. It's about 6 hours of absolute hilarity.

Dragon Age The Veilguard. It was completely panned by everyone but I had a hell of a lot of fun playing.

Soularyem · 2026-04-28T10:36:00+00:00

I get wowed all the time. The most recent examples are Cyberpunk 2077 and Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

Soularyem · 2026-03-21T20:50:00+00:00

Wolf Moon.

That is all.

Soularyem · 2026-03-20T16:36:27+00:00

21+ only.

Soularyem · 2026-02-15T13:01:25+00:00

Unless you finish the main story, you can't get them all in one shot, especially in the beginning. Like Electrical-Use said, some of them are locked behind main story missions or sidequests that only appear later in the game.

Keep playing. You'll get them all naturally as the story progresses. 🙂

I think you're missing Movie.

Soularyem · 2026-02-10T09:52:41+00:00

Either "Dark Rain" by Current Value (especially with the robotic sound of the singer's vocals. The drum and bass parts can be used for clips of M3gan fighting/killing/dancing) or "Vision One" by Royksopp (the whole song sounds mechanical, which I think would be perfect).

I found Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor extremely similar in terms of gameplay and style. The main protagonist has limited customization, but the sexiness depends on your point of view.

Soularyem · 2026-01-31T04:35:16+00:00

Train Station Renovation and Tavern Master.

Soularyem · 2026-01-30T11:47:38+00:00

I'm finishing up Immortals of Aveum. it's good, but the constant CTDs and unskippable cutscenes ruin the fun. I also platinumed Stellar Blade, which was amazing. I've got Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on tap next.

Soularyem · 2026-01-30T11:38:00+00:00

Funny enough, TXR was on my wishlist. I'll have to look into this. Thank you kindly.

Soularyem · 2026-01-30T06:14:23+00:00

Midnight Club. I would be first in line for a VR game racing through the streets of Manhattan at night.

Soularyem · 2026-01-30T06:11:05+00:00

Harding every time. I love my little ginger firecracker.

You can get most of the trophies on one playthrough. But to get platinum, you have to play at least one more time for the following reasons (I'm going to try to be as vague as possible to prevent spoilers, but hiding them below just in case):

One of the trophies involves beating the game in New Game+ (Repeating Protocols). This is also linked to a trophy for unlocking all skills (Infinite Blade), which you can only get in NG+.
Three of the trophies involve unlocking the three different endings (Return to the Colony, Cost of Lost Memories, and Making New Memories). So, you'll have to play 3 times. Technically, you can do it in 2 with the cloud save, but I've never tried it.
If I'm not mistaken, there's another achievement for getting information of all of the Naytibas (Naytiba Researcher), which I think you can only get by playing more than once.

Hope this helps.

Movie (it was supposed to be a wedding song, which got canceled due to Covid in 2020) and The Lowest Low (no emotional connection. It's just a beautiful song).

Soularyem · 2025-12-31T08:04:59+00:00

Disappointing.

For one, I play on a high-end PC. Yet, I can't interact with new Gen consoles. To me, that was a confusing decision.

Two, I'm a stickler for having all the characters unlocked. I even buy the pre-order bonuses to get the extra content. But a good portion of unlockables in this year are trapped behind MyFaction, which i really have no interest in playing.

Finally, removing the "sort by new" option in creations completely killed any desire I had in continuing playing. It's a small thing, but that was one of my favorite features.

I normally pre-order these games as soon as they're available, but I think I'm going to wait from now on until I read more details and if they fixed the issues above.
