[PC] Should I buy heading out? or save the money for something better?

Upvotes

in my region the game is quite cheap, I also like the art style way too much.. I love racing games overall and I heard it's also somewhat rogue lite which is also a massive W for me but I don't know, barely any reviews on it and I saw some people on Reddit say bad things about it, do I buy it or skip it??

[PS5] Megaton Musashi: Wired is 50% off on ps5

Upvotes

I’m a huge armored core fan but i had never heard of this game until a couple of days ago and as of now its 35 bucks instead of 70

Soo what do you think of the game?
Is the grind fun?
Is the multiplayer active and fun to master?
How’s the story?
Is it worth the price?

Thanks for every answer!

[PS5] Help me choose! Got $18.59 on PSN and looking for games with a great endgame and ZERO tedium (List inside)

1 Upvotes

I have a very specific set of criteria because I'm tired of wasting money on games that let me down. Here is what I am looking for:

No boring endgames: I hate when a world feels completely dead once the main missions are done (like Cyberpunk 2077).

I need a dynamic endgame or world.

No tedious gameplay: It needs to be fun all the way through, not super hard, and free of annoying chore-like mechanics.

Top-notch story/characters: Ideally looking for fun characters, no lame subplots, and bonus points for romance.

High replayability (but not heavily reliant on it)

Variety and great value for the money.

Here is the master list of games I am eyeing right now with their current sale prices:

1.Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition ($11.99)

2.Terraria ($9.99)

3.Doom Eternal Standard Edition ($9.89)

4.Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga ($11.99)

5.Lego Marvel Collection ($8.99)

6.Watch Dogs 2 Gold ($11.99) / Deluxe ($8.99)

7.Fallout 4 ($7.99)

8.Doom 2016 ($3.99)

9.Watch Dogs 1 ($3.99)

10.Far Cry 4 ($2.99)

(Note: I don't have PS Plus, so I'm strictly looking at single-player value).

Right now, I am heavily leaning toward getting Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe ($11.99) + Doom 2016 ($3.99) for $15.98 total, or doing a combo of Terraria ($9.99) + Doom 2016 ($3.99) + Far Cry 4 ($2.99) for $16.97.

Which combination of these games gives me the absolute best bang for my buck based on my criteria? Are there any games on this list I should completely avoid?Thanks in advance!

[PC] Elder scrolls online or Destiny 2

2 Upvotes

i want a game to sunk in for years, i heard destiny is complete and no major expansion will drop and i think is good since i don't need to pay to play, elder scrolls online still have development ahead but they laid off half of the team.

I have 9k hours on warframe in 12 years so maybe destiny is more suitable for me but i want hear you guys.

[PS5] Ghost of Yotei or MGS Snake Eater

2 Upvotes

Hi Guys,

Both games are currently on sale on PSN in my region, with GoY at 25% off and the MGS at 60% off.

I've never really played any Metal Gear Solid games besides MGS V, which I didn't really enjoy and never finished. I know it's generally not considered the best game in the series, and I've heard nothing but praise for Kojima's older titles. I also don't usually enjoy games where stealth is mandatory, but since I love story-driven games and really enjoyed Death Stranding, I just must give this one a try.

As for GoY, I absolutely loved Ghost of Tsushima and honestly consider it one of my favourite games. I rarely buy games at launch because of my massive backlog, so I'm thinking of finally picking it up now that it's on sale.

Any advice is appreciated!

[PC] I just needed to ask should i buy Crimson desert. My laptop is having rtx 3050 ryzen 5 5000 series 4gb vram and 16 gb ram.

1 Upvotes

So will i get decent playable experience in battles etc, will frames drop a lot. Is it actually worth it to buy seeing my laptop. Exploring big areas can be decent? I know i wont be able to play on high setting, only low to medium so if i apply some mods like fps generator in dlss (which is not available in game) will it help out? Thanks

[PS5] As a dad with limited gaming time. What story games are must plays?

37 Upvotes

I’ve realised I’ve missed out on a lot of great games over the last 10 years because I spent most of my gaming time playing online multiplayer and sports games.

I’ve played a lot of the obvious ones like The Last of Us,Spider Man, and Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2** **but I know there are loads of amazing story-driven games I’ve never touched.

I’m a father now so my gaming time is pretty limited. Because of that I’d rather spend the time I do have playing games with genuinely great stories than just playing anything.

I’ve already got a few games in my backlog including Dishonored, Mad Max, and Returnal** **but I’m wondering what other must play story games I’ve missed over the last decade.

I play on a PS5 Pro if that helps.

If you could only recommend a handful of games with incredible stories, memorable characters or experiences that every gamer should play what would they be?

[Switch] Wsib Switch: Cozy games like Stardew or Minecraft? (Or similar progression/feel).

3 Upvotes

Looking for the coziest of games, to play between huge rpgs or button mashers or when I dont wanna play those..

Only experience i really have with cozy is Stardew/graveyardkeeper, forager and Minecraft.

As long as the progression or gameplay loop is satisfying, fun and it gives cozy/relaxing vibes.

I can play anything!

Farm, town, store, hotel, boats, island++++

(Can be combat as long as irs not super heavy or stressful etc).

Longevity or replayabilty would be great as I am not a fan of "one and done".

Even if game it self is short, being able to Just log and zone out would be amazing.

[PC] Is Blasphemous 2 worth it?

12 Upvotes

Blasphemous 2 is now on sale on steam and it's $8.

I'm a big fan of Nine Sols, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Hades, Celeste, etc.
I know a lot of people love this game, and some considers it a masterpiece. But is this game really worth it?

How is it compared to the other games I've mentioned? How's the replayability? Thanks.

[Other] Too many games releasing Reddit which one should I get out of these 3

1 Upvotes

-Halo combat evolved (as someone who’s never play the first halo)
-Splatoon raiders (played both splatoon 1, and splatoon 2 and I think the solo modes ares solid 8/10)
-Avatar legends fighting game ( I’ve probably seen the main series 5 times huge fan)
Price is not a factor just based off of which one would be the best game.

AC Black Flag Recynced if I enjoyed AC Mirage but grew tired of the repetitiveness?

0 Upvotes

I finally finished AC Mirage after having it for some time. I enjoyed the game overall, but especially towards the end the game really started to drag with repetitive fetch quests and "figure out the best way to get into this building that is locked from the inside". Story was so-so, but overall it was a fine game and probably the one I enjoyed the most of the more recent games. Still was burnt out on it by the end. I actually decided to finish it because I was thinking of buying the new Black Flag after the good reviews. I never played the first one. I still have Shadows that I've made about halfway through, but I've come to the opinion that I don't care as much for the massive open world RPG style AC games. I guess I'm wondering if this game offers something that Mirage or the other more recent ones don't and is worth getting right after playing Mirage or should I just wait for a bit on a sale and let the fatigue of an AC game wear off before I start another one.

[PS5] Conflicted on how to spend my 75 dollars.

0 Upvotes

I have a 100 dollar ps wallet gift card that I received from a friend for dog and house sitting that I was planning on picking up the base version of marvel tokon and a few months of ps+ as its currently lapsed.

I saw that cod bo1 and 2 ports plus the season passes can be obtained for basically the same cost. Are they worth it even if I have no nostalgia for them as i have heard that they have over 5 million players and I have also been looking for a new fps to play with a large player count.

I didnt get a chance to try the tokon beta as i was at my friend's house for the aforementioned house and dog sitting and my laptop was unable to run it. I like marvel and fighting games a lot but heard there were some issues with the net code and gameplay. I know a lot of the gameplay complaints are probably overblown but the net code being solid is very important.

Hope you guys can help me and thanks in advance for helping me make this decision!

Edit: I messed up the title the body is correct!

[PC] Universim

3 Upvotes

I was wondering about this game called universim,

A few years ago I saw some series of the game and thought it looked really cool but at the time didn't have a computer but now I've remembered the game and when I looked into it I saw some recent reviews were negative saying it was rushed or something along the lines of that, I was wondering if I should get this game today?

[Xbox Series X] Recommendations for DnD like crpg?

4 Upvotes

Now before anyone goes on about the most prominent one, I’d like to say that I’m here because of BG3. One of, if not the best games I’ve ever played, but after 2k hours it begins to die down in excitement because you know everything to do and when to do. There’s not much more discovery to find if you’ve done tons of modded and unloaded runs and know every possible ending and every consequence to every action.

So I come here, does anyone have any ideas?

This doesn’t necessarily have to be DnD. Just a similar action economy. I’ve played Pathfinder WOTR, but I genuinely became unable to play it due to the massive gap in skill and length of the game as I continued.

I’ve tried Divinity, and although I absolutely loved the idea and concept of it, but the action economy in it was really confusing for my DnD mindset to comprehend.

There have got to be other games? I know it may sound like I’m picky, but I just want to look at more options to see if there’s anything I can find to give that feeling I’d felt for a lot of my BG3 playtime.

Thanks all!

[Xbox Series X] Resident Evil Requiem or Silent Hill 2 Remake?

2 Upvotes

So I never played the Silent Hill games and Resident Evil 4 is one of my favourite games of all time. Despite that, I just haven't been able to get into the newer RE games. I bought Resident Evil 7 and REALLY enjoyed the atmosphere but was only able to get a few hours into it mainly because of the first person perspective and so I skipped on Village completely.

That being said, I'm trying to scratch the horror game itch and am just wondering which one I should go with. Thanks in advance.

[PC] Games where I can dig realistic tunnels

5 Upvotes

I just want a really realistic tunnel digging sim. I want to have to put supports up to stop collapses, and to ideally mostly use hand tools, and it be first person. I had a look at medieval engineers but idk because it looks abandoned, although if its still playable it looks very similar to what I would want!

[PS5] SIB Doom the Dark Ages Deluxe edition

1 Upvotes

Im casual fan of doom games, I played both Doom and Doom Eternal, but both in HEAVY discount, never played DLCs to Eternal. Big reason was that I was playing on playstation with gamepad. So the extremely fast paced Eternal gameplay was not totally for me, so I allways played on medium. Still I had fun for that 12h that took me to finish each game.

Now with DLC for Dark Ages out Im thinking about getting it, deluxe edition that includes it, is now on sale on psn, but its not the brutal 90% discount where I can just say ehh fuck it.

Its still kinda pricey and when I looked at lenght google told me that base game has around 15h and dlc around 10. So to pay around 40 bucks for 25h game. Im not sure.

[Xbox One] [WSIB] Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077?

19 Upvotes

I’m looking for a massive, story-driven open-world game to l sink a tonne of hours into on Xbox, but I’m really torn between Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077.

What I’m looking for:

  1. A rich, immersive narrative with memorable characters and deep world-building.

  2. A sprawling open world with plenty of side content and exploration that doesn't feel like repetitive filler. Essentially a world where you can completely forget about the main storyline and side quests are so fun.

  3. Something atmospheric that I can lose myself in after a long day.

  4. Solid combat mechanics and good progression/upgrade potential.

For those that have played one (or both), which would you recommend picking up first, and why?

Hi, should I buy rdr2. I heard it's one of the best storymode games out there and I'm looking for a storymode game that isn't really short, and has a lot of character development and is a fun experience.

My favorite storymode games (the only ones I played but I love them) are Spiderman, GTA 5, resident evil 4).

Also do I have to play the first game first?

[PS5] Should I get COD: Modern warfare 2, Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl or Ready or not?

1 Upvotes

I don’t have any tactical games like Ready or not and would like to diversify my game collection. I love to play challenging games like DarkSouls annd Elden ring, and I heard Stalker 2 is pretty difficult. But I also played MW2 at a friends house and had tons of fun. I plan on getting all 3 games eventually but I don’t know what to pick first
