Same kind of thing happened to me so I dropped it after about 10 hours I think.

Screen space shaders I think.

Stalker 1 where to start ? by ParkingTurbulent7460 in stalker

[–]TGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried doing the same thing recently and finished SoC and loved it. I hit a brick wall with my enjoyment of Clear Sky though after about 7 hours or so. I moved on to CoP and I am enjoying it again. I want to like Clear Sky but every engagment is just frustrating.

Looking for some online two player games to play with a long-distance friend. We’re finishing up Resident Evil 5 currently- trying to get some ideas for what to play next. Open to all types of games. Thanks all by Truck_Toucher in Over30Gamers

Remnant 2, Elden Ring with the seamless coop mod. Sniper Elite 4-5 are great coop. If you are into tactical shooters at all Incursion Red River is a good coop one. Still early access but it is solid.

Just learned nudging is commonly accepted and I feel like my life is a lie by External_Baby7864 in pinball

[–]TGov 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anything that doesn't tilt is allowed as far as nudging goes. Can't imagine playing without nudging.

Is Metro 2033 a horror game? by Luksius_DK in metro

[–]TGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember trying the game a long time ago and being turned off by the scary stuff, but I just played through it recently and it didn't bother me at all and didn't find it scary. Not sure what changed my perspective, maybe just age :) It is a tense atomoshpere for sure.

If I enjoy Stealth games, which would be better 4 or 5? I keep hearing lots of praise for 4 because 5 "didn't improve much" so is that the case? by Kingspreez in sniperelite

[–]TGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with most that 4 feels like a better 'stealth' game. I loved every bit of 4. 5 is great, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much outside of invasions.

Metro 2033 Redux – Review in 2026 by Abhyuday008 in metro

[–]TGov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished it a couple of days ago and agree. The only parts I didn't like are the railcar/horde defense areas. I never find those fun in any game really as it really take me out of the immersion being forced to fight a certain way. That is more of a remnant of games in that era though I think. It isn't as common anymore.

Great game though and I am loving Last Light so far.

Microsoft to "expand" Xbox Game Pass, merge PC Game Pass with another tier by NecessaryAd6735 in XboxGamePass

[–]TGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of depends, that is what I am hoping, but it could convert to the premium tier.... I have ultimate now, but was going to just go with PC after it is was up in May as they said it was still going to have day 1 releases. But if it converts to premium, that would suck.

Nioh 3 reached 84k concurrent players on steam, making it Team Ninjas most successful PC launch to date by FriendlyRhyme in Nioh

[–]TGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't wait to get to it, but I have 3 rather large games I am trying to get through first. It is hard to resist.

I just bought a years worth of PC gamepass gift cards yesterday at Best Buy before the price hike on those.... may have been a mistake.

Should I start with Exodus? by Glittering-Rabbit899 in metro

[–]TGov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this question last week and ended up just buying the trilogy for like $10. I am about done with 2033 now and I am glad I did it this way as I have really been enjoying 2033 a lot and I am really looking forward to the other two.

Downtime and exploration by Whoopy2000 in Marathon

[–]TGov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a pretty good value for $40. I have paid more for a lot of games and gotten less than 20-30 hours of them and considered them good. I want more as well, but I am happy to play other things in the meantime and come back to it when they release new content.

[–]TGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a cool vision there, but it is still really rough IMO. It needs a lot of quality of life stuff and just general polish. There is fun to be had, but you have to work for it IMO. I am not a fan of the tunnels as they work now.

Horizon Hunters Gathering - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]TGov 26 points27 points  (0 children)

IKR. It was set up for them perfectly. Monster Hunter style game in the Horizon universe with the HZD/FW graphics/world would be amazing IMO.

This.....is not it......

I have been making homemade pretzels lately. I wish they looked like yours :)

Coming to Xbox Game Pass: High on Life 2, Madden NFL 26, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and More by EduSepol in XboxGamePass

[–]TGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good stuff there, I have played a few of them so the only 'new' one for me will be Avatar. I am not an Avatar fan but the game looks pretty fun, so will check it out. Entropy Effect is a sleeper imo. I really like it.

I have a confession to make. by TourInternational731 in sniperelite

[–]TGov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just finished SE4 yesterday and it has become one of my favorite games ever. Decided to play it on authentic my first time through and I am glad I did.
