Finally got around to Baldur's Gate 3. Im really enjoying it, but im currently playing as a dual-crossbow bard, and I feel super weak (Level 5). Most of my arrows miss, and I just don't feel very effective. Then Karlach runs past as an enraged Berserker, and double-crits an enemy for over 50...

This is just the coolest shit

Replaying Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and well, its a bit boring, isn't it? The ship stuff is fine, but has zero depth. The theming and flavour of the game is quite excellent, but it is just the surrounding stuff that is a bit dull. The melee combat is terribly easy, and has even less...

Finished up Arkham Origins, and I greatly enjoyed it. The combat is basically the same as City, but with a few extra tricks, but the story is much better paced and presented. I like Arkham City quite a bit, but its story really grinds to a halt when you have to go and find the League of...

Arkham Origins is better than Arkham Asylum and Arkham City

Ive kind of dropped Diablo 4. The story was interesting, but I don't think the gameplay really holds up for as long as the story is. I know this is a pretty weird take, seeing as this is a live service game, and it is intended to be played for hundreds if not thousands of hours, but once you...

As always, it is that I want to play more new (to me) games. I have earmarked 236 games that I own, that I either haven't played, or haven't finished. https://backloggery.com/games.php?user=laggyteabag&status=1&console= I'd like to make some decent headway into this list. There are also a...

In no particular order, from the games that I have rated 5* or (a very high) 4* over the last few years. Though there are still a lot of recent and really popular games that I have yet to touch (namely, Baldurs Gate 3 / basically any Soulslike)

Finished Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. Not sure I really like Phantom Liberty's place in the main story, because it really ruins the pacing IMO, but as its own story, I think it was rather excellent, and I enjoyed it much more than the main plot. I finished the whole thing in about 80...

Kerry and Panam can only be romanced by a Male V, and Judy and River can only be romanced by a Female V. To be perfectly fair, this is one enemy, that is found only in one mission, that is only 30 minutes long max out of an ~80 hour game, and getting to do this mission in the first place is...

Finishing up (what I assume are) the final levels of the Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty missions, and man oh man, do I hate invincible instant-kill enemies. So Im being stalked by this robot Alien: Isolation style, and for reasons that I am currently unsure about, this guy is invincible, fast as...

I got gifted a copy of Diablo 4 over Christmas, and I have so far been exclusively playing it on my Steam Deck. You can play the game on mostly medium/high settings, with the framerate locked at a solid 40 FPS (though I hear you can go higher), and it plays like a dream, and looks great on the...

Woah. This isn't the headline that I expected to read. Yahtzee has been the biggest draw of this site for well over a decade, and he has stayed through just about everything that has happened through this site's history, so him leaving now just goes to show the new culture that Nick created...

This unironically looks just like the CoD Infinite Warfare campaign Otherwise, I guess one of the major issues of space games is scope. You can either reach for the stars, and have thousands or millions of planets (like Starfield and No Mans Sky) but developers simply don't have the time or...

Yes, I should have qualified my statement with "the multiplayer is in a decent and healthy place". The campaign is a whole other can of worms. I too definitely have my questions regarding the future of the story. Namely that the voice cast is frankly getting quite old (Steve Downes is 73) and...
