I'm still on Wukong, but a new Ghosts game is tantalizing.

Re: OT: Video Games/Computers/Gadgets/Gizmos
Too many **** bangers released in too short of a time for me to keep up with, and I play more games than most. BL4, Silksong, Hades 2, Ghost of Yotei, Trails in the Sky remake, Tactics remake... PLEASE STOP RELEASING GOOD GAMES.

Re: OT: Video Games/Computers/Gadgets/Gizmos
Played the CoD BO7 beta for quite a bit. Boring. Basically a reskin of every other CoD with a couple adjustments. Good thing I don't pay for these games anymore.
That said, I'm pumped for Battlefield 6. I just can't decide if I go easy route and get it on Xbox or I finally do secure boot and get it on PC.

Ooof. The TV I bought is $400 cheaper today for Prime Day. That was a very costly mistake.
ETA: Hmm looks like Best Buy may issue a price match if the price drops during the return window.
ETA pt 2: Yup, got a refund. Well that was dope.

Re: OT: Video Games/Computers/Gadgets/Gizmos
I didn't play the BF6 beta, and really didn't watch much but bought it anyways.
Fired it up today on my 4K monitor with my headset on and holy ****. It's awesome. It's pure chaos out there. The gun play feels much more authentic than anything else. And it's just a blast in my first hour and a half. Can't wait to play with friends.

Re: OT: Video Games/Computers/Gadgets/Gizmos
I love Yotei, but I'm not playing it as much as I could because I've just grown to hate playing on my TV. The playing itself is great - the game is gorgeous - but I just wanna be on my lappy while I have a (sports) game on TV
I think PS5 is probably my last console.

Buddy of mine opted for it on PC with an aging build, do not recommend. Any time there were more than 5-10 guys he lagged hard.
Had a big crew get on discord last night and play together. Wild fun for hours. Feels good.

Re: OT: Video Games/Computers/Gadgets/Gizmos
Finished Tactics on the hardest difficulty. Wasn't over-leveled by any means and I think I ran a pretty simple party at the end without any special gear besides Chantages to keep me alive. Didn't use a single named character, just Ramza and the four randoms I started the game with. Whenever I play this again I'm gonna force myself to use the side characters I pick up along the way.
A little over a week until Ninja Gaiden 4. Think I'm gonna give Absolum a go, but I don't love that it's on PS5 and not Xbox.

Played friday for a bit, loved it. Though now that I'm much older than when I last played BF on the regular I am not very good.

Re: OT: Video Games/Computers/Gadgets/Gizmos
So I'm 99% sure it was the BIOS stuff I had to do for BF6 that bricked my PC. Well not fully bricked, but I need to do a fresh install of Windows 10. Nothing is working, I get stuck in the Welcome set up screen with freezing, recoveries don't work, nothing. So I get to start from scratch...
And of course, I don't have a windows install USB anywhere and my work laptop is a Mac so unless I do way more work than I want I have to have someone send me a USB with it haha

Yotei is so much fun and gorgeous. Trying to take my time with it so I don't burn thru it quickly

Started it last night. Not sure how much of it I'll be playing in the next month or two, but goddamn, it is ridiculously good looking and amazing sounding.
