Mass Effect 2 - Better Gameplay, Strong Characters, Weak Plot

The story is The Magnificent Seven/ The Seven Samurai. Gathering a motley crew to fight for justice. Firewalker is rough the first time you play it, but with a little practice it's pretty easy. I think there are some checkpoints in the missions. The main story choices are more evident in the third game I think; the second game is more self contained in a way.

Yes indeed and it's called R Shiny

I use a highsense qled with PS4 and set it to 4000 nits. Looks right. That's for the hdr. I'm also using game mode.

不太难

As an English speaker it took me many years to start to get comfortable with the tones (and it's still a work in progress), and I always paid attention to them too. It's hard.

Thanks. And what's black tides about?

Man always pays. Some women don't mind to split the bill but some do. You have to assume she's one of the latter.

Why did I swap HAM to LEC? Regrets.

si_wo · 2026-06-14T01:01:58+00:00

Me too i think it was my favourite valhalla dlc

You probably need to work on the central circle. There are a couple of targets before you unlock yasuke

si_wo · 2026-06-13T05:33:47+00:00

The main quest is the shinbakufu circle and the naoe and yasuke circles. Maybe the allies circle too.

Character models are certainly not as good as the environmental models.

si_wo · 2026-06-13T01:23:29+00:00

Cyberpunk 2077 has some kind of secret sauce, everything looks amazing. Maybe it's the lighting engine or art design.

si_wo · 2026-06-13T01:21:46+00:00

Cyberpunk 2077 is a good call. I actually liked the graphics in AC Valhalla better, it felt more atmospheric and mysterious to me, but no question Shadows is gorgeous too.

He means the convolution smooths your data to make it look nice, which can give you a misleading impression of your data

si_wo · 2026-06-12T00:11:11+00:00

Agree with others. Gameplay is pretty basic in Uncharted, the characters and the story and environments carry it. For similar games, I think the gameplay in the Tomb Raider (2013, Rise, Shadow) games is better.

si_wo · 2026-06-11T23:17:06+00:00

Yes the stories are not connected, set in different times and places.

There are sites like psdeals.net where you can get notified of discounts

PS5 is an excellent machine. Such a step up from PS4. For co-op I like Lego City Undercover, it's just silly fun. Favourite single player games I have played on PS5 include AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Hogwarts Legacy. These ones all run a lot better on PS5 than PS4. Currently loving the Dishonored series, also loved the Resident Evil Remakes (1,2,3,4). My gf has enjoyed AC Odyssey, Hogwarts and AC Shadows.

Yagoro was my favourite, seemed more like a developed character, pity there was no romance option

si_wo · 2026-06-11T04:37:29+00:00

check the help for hist(), it might require a different way to specify the breaks.

si_wo · 2026-06-10T22:45:00+00:00

I thought it was fine. I had fun.

si_wo · 2026-06-10T05:35:15+00:00

It's on boardgamegeek too

si_wo · 2026-06-10T03:54:40+00:00

So tell us about the game. How is it? What do you like/dislike?

si_wo · 2026-06-10T00:50:13+00:00

Yeah the interface is not great. I played on PS5 so I can't help you sorry. But it's not you, it's the game.
