The non-ME3 games recently enjoyed by ME3MPrs

Don't you need to play Drakengard first?

I really need to get on playing both Nier games. I have both and haven't gotten to them yet. I might be one of five human males that isn't enamored by some 2B though.

However, I've been playing more of these action games with stamina bars. Stuff like Dark Souls, both Niohs, Code Vein, etc. I decided to try out Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. Strangely it has no stamina bar and your character doesn't follow all the rules of these type of games (almost no fall damage and can sprint and attack forever) I initially liked the game, then I started hating it. Unlike the aforementioned games, Sekiro is very limited in how you can play. It wants you to play a very specific way. Its very defensive and parry oriented, especially against bosses. I tempered my expectations and returned to it and its starting to grow on me. Until crap like this happens.



I'm still playing it and I think I'll beat it, but what?

I haven't installed these yet, but uh... here's the result of last night's drunken cheap-game-buying spree. I think I paid about five bucks for all these together.

Seems like Anthem's been grabbed by the Banshees.

I got Anthem about a year ago for $5 (XBOX). So even if a bomb, no big deal. But by that time, they had pretty much cleaned up the bugs and major issues. The flying is great, as is the combo system. Gearing works fine for a while.  I wish they allowed solo play, especially in the strongholds. They pretty much force group matching on you, but in open world it usually means you join 3 other randos each doing there own thing on the largish map and you ignore each other for the most part. For a newbie, there's plenty to do for maybe 100 hrs of play. The campaign is ... okay. Your character is a dud, but some of the lesser NPC's are quite amusing.

So, definitely recommend as a cheap pick-up & play through.

I started playing New Vegas again and I forgot how damn good that game really is. I can't wait to play me some DLC. It's crazy they made the game in 18 months (it can a bit buggy, but hey New Vegas gonna New Vegas so save often) and Cyberpunk had 5-8 years. There's an itch to play some MP, but I'm not good at multitasking

Really enjoyed the first game but haven't got round to playing the second yet, some of the mods though are hilarious (the pixar one in particular).

I'm currently doing my first playthrough of wasteland 3, really enjoying the game so far, just reached a settlement that worships a robot version of Ronald Reagan.

Okay, so, there's apparently no way to customize my keybinds until I'm already into the tutorial mission, and then when I take too long customizing things in the menus, I get kicked out of the mission for inactivity. LOL really? Not a great start but oh well.

Edit: I ran into some enemies, tried to esc/pause to edit mouse sensitivity, and the enemies kept attacking me while I was in the menus. IDon'tKnowWhatIExpected.gif

Edit 2: At least my not-Avenger is deadly on full-auto

If by "going really well" you mean "regretting my purchase", then yes definitely. Everything's set up so weird. It's still early days but it really feels like they had an internal conversation that went more or less like, "Hey, you know Destiny? Let's try to take our thing and try to make it into that thing."

Anyone into online chess? What kind of time control do you prefer? Tried 10 min two times but I feel like 30 min would be better for me. Played against bots with no control for some time, for context.
