CRISIS CORE –FINAL FANTASY VII– REUNION

Winuser · Dec 17, 2022

I'm playing a Walmart bargin bin game called Project Blue Book. It's not the best hidden object game I ever played but it does occupy my time.

Just finished Dying light 2, Around 95hrs overall, Overall enjoyed it much more than i thought i would!

Hittin' the Links 2003, again today. I think it keeps me sane.

I like this course. It's hard but pretty.
Notice Microsoft's shameless plug in the 2nd pic.

Yeah i was actually the only one in the series i missed out on, and it looked far too dated for me to play through nowadays, I think its the 27th or 28th of jan it release :) I was gutted the cancelled making Dead space 4, Was due to the reception of 3 at the time, I think its been long enough where it would be really welcomed back now.

I played all three Dead Space games and thought Dead Space 3 was garbage. The best one is definitely DS 1.

Sweet then im hopefully in for the best one! Apparently the calisto protocol is a poor mans 3 which was kinda sad as i was gonna give it a go with it being so short i'd be done by tomorrow.

I think it's a great game. Short yep, most games are now days, but it really does look fantastic. Grab it on a sale, won't be long. I played some DS1, never played DS3 but I will now

I think my average game time nowadays per game is atleast 30-40 hours + of depending on the game. Games if anything got longer than they were. I remember majority of aaa title for years being the standard 6-8 hours long. Yeah ofc some were exceptions to that ( that also didn't throw the quality down the drain in order for quantity). Chances are if its 8 hours long, I aint buying it.

Meanwhile, I've been out trodding the links on the fictional course... Skeleton Coast.

I used to really like Links 2003.
I am still stuck in the same decade as well with Age of Empires III, with Asian Dynasty, War Chiefs.
Never get tired of it.
Much better than the new version, which when I tried let you create fortress walls but no gate!
Might have changed though.

Luckily (LOL) when they say 8 hours it takes me longer. My reflexes aren't what they used to be. I always hit spots in a game where I die repeatedly then amazingly get through it the next day. Most games focus on MP, SP player games don't get the love they used to.

I do enjoy SP games that are fun, so I get my money's worth, I think. It's all about having fun.

Callisto Protocol gets a lot of negative reviews, but I really enjoy it. Haven't had this much fun since Dying Light 2

I got stuck with this real bad! Now I need to find a way to quit!

Playing the witcher 3 through again after its next gen update, Sadly my old ass gpu can't run rtx on pretty much anything so i miss out on that but the ultra+ features are nice enough and i can play at a higher res than my original playthrough!

Thanks a lot for your comment. I have this game and didn't know that there was a new next gen free update! I am going to try this for sure :)

Witcher 3 got an update?

I have all three games, but sadly only played the first one, and only a quarter of the second one. Really hate the game mechanics as it seems the game is heavily geared towards controllers rather than keyboard and mouse

First one is by far the worst due to its clunkyness etc, Its getting a full remake though, Second and third are masterpieces, 2nd could do with a remaster to bring it to witcher 3 standards, Case with a lot of games man, Only game i genuinely think its worthwhile playing on Mouse and keyboard is a competitive FPS game, For obvious reasons, Its better and more accurate, But i couldn't imagine even playing like dying light on it, Its just not designed for it. Sure it works and it isn't too much of a hassle, But its 100% made for controller, Same as sports games, driving games, in my mind most third person games too, With exceptions ofc,

Update is awesome for it. Still as clunky as always but if you could handle RDR2's clunkyness then you're good.

The problem is you're talking to gamer who's been using a mouse and keyboard to play games since 1998 when I first got into PCs and still do. With that my attitude is if it's not on PC, I won't be playing it. Not into console gaming, and thus no game controllers.

That said, I know times are changing and that I may be "forced" into at least a controller given the state of today's game mechanics, but thus far, I've been able to avoid it. And I play RPG games all the time with m&k - Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk 2077.

And though I'm a huge sports fan, I don't play sports games. That's me.
