I just never played it. I wasn't into RPGs are much when I was younger.
Craaaazy concept, I know.

Demon Souls Remake
First game I bought for my PS5 at launch and I've never finished it. Can't even remember how far I got when I last played it. Pretty simple compared to the later Souls game but still an excellent experience.
I also started Forspoken. But we won't talk about that.

Finished Alan Wake Remastered.
First time with this version, but I played through the 360 version 4 or 5 times, including once with FPS Boost.
Higher fidelity doesn't really alter the experience in any way that matters. Was a great game on 360. Still a great game. But I'm confident I'll never play it again.

I really want to like Monster Hunter: Wilds. I really do. But I just cannot mesh with these combat controls. It's clunky. I understand and accept that this isn't unabashed hack and slash, and that a deliberate approach is the proper method. I just can't sync with it. This is the type of game in which I'd happily join friends and hunt casually with them, more for the social vibes. But I don't have friends, so this was a waste of $70. I'm bummed. I suppose I could learn it if someone sat with me and taught me. It feels like that kind of game. As it stands, I was fighting the training barrels and confused myself by seemingly switching attack styles within a combo, and I have no idea if that's actually what I did and how I did it. Now the R2+somebutton attack is gone and a different one is in its place. I'm getting too old for this shit.
Starting Final Fantasy XVI. I started it once upon a time but stopped because I don't remember why. The Eikons are cool I guess, but I don't want to be big monsters. I want to be a dude with a sword. Why can't games just be what they are anymore? I feel like modern games have something decent going on and then they always fuck it up by adding some unnecessary mechanic or gimmick or system or novelty or "gameplay feature" that ends up taking something good and relegating it to wasting the player's time. I'm not very experienced with the Final Fantasy series overall, but I feel like this was their attempt at "What if the player can BE the summon?!" and everyone clapped and here I am in the opening scene as a mighty Phoenix fighting a fire Minotaur. Didn't some famous fashion designer once say, "Before you leave the house, remove one thing," and if you do that your look is perfect or something. I think games should listen to that advice.
Please pardon me. I'm just really cranky.

I didn't play anything all week. I got a tablet pc and it's pretty sweet.
So I've been playing around with that in the evenings. But you see.... Linux will allow you to do some pretty awful things to your computer lol. I've blown up a few installs already because I'm getting too into the tinkering. Got another in saturday morning and told myself I'd done experimenting with weird stuff. I gotta back up this install before I have another lapse of judgement and start playing with poorly maintained shell extensions.
I did test a few games on it and I'm surprised how well they play. I was expecting to be able to do some light gaming on it, but I will be able to play plenty of stuff. When I'm done breaking it over and over.

The nicest person on this forum
There are 14 different weapons in this game if don’t want slow weapons then choose dual blades or Sword and Shield they pretty fast weapons compare to other ones.

Was very hard to tell just from the screenshots what the game is but I dig the artstyle. Will probably pick it up as it's on sale very often. Thanks!

Started up Atlas Fallen: Rising/Falling/Fall/Risefallborne Origins.
The intro was dire. Like 4/10. I about bailed but one of the reviews on the store said the intro was horrific and to keep going. It's up to about a 5/10 now. Sorta fun, slightly. I'm intrigued by the main villain and kind of want to see the story a bit now. It's a pretty unsettling and omnipresent sky god. Doesn't look like the main character will ever have a chance against that, so that's kind of interesting. Combat is opening up slightly with a parry and secondary weapon. It's not horrible at the moment.

Ok. Trails through daybreak has a bit of a difficulty cliff with the first boss battle. 8 vs 3 in a turn-based jrpg means I suddenly need to get the action economy on my side... I expect I need to massively adjust build/gear/orbments etc.
Nearly finished Shadowrun Returns - enjoyed it but it does feel like a first attempt/prototype

I'm surprised by this game. So far I've been loving it. I'm only an hour in and am gonna to play through this before Xenoblade Chronicles X comes out due to hearing how short the game really is. I hooked up my Steamdeck to a the dock and man does the game look fantastic on my monitor. Everything looks so bright and colorful. The game actually runs great on my Steamdeck too. I'm loving the gameplay too. So far the cast and story is really good. Gameplay wise the battle system is fantastic. I just hit my first town too. I hope it doesn't overstay it's welcome

What time is it?
Monster Hunter Wilds and it's shocking how bad the campaign is. Where is my Japanese quirk and charm? Why is it so braindead easy? It really feels like a game that needed another year or two in the oven. At least the core combat is good and I'm sure it will get there eventually.

I Can’t Stop Bouncing Around Shit (All Consoles)
Basically biding my time until Xenoblade X and Atomfall. First world problems.
Literally hundreds of games to play and “I have nothing to play.”
I’ve gone from Super Mario World to Disco Elysium to Control to Tsushima

Splinter Cell Double Agent. 7th Gen version.
Holy hell. How did they screw this up so badly? And why change the gameplay at all?
I like Double Agent. It's not the best Splinter Cell, but it's still a good game. But this version is terrible.
For anyone who has watched video of it, but never actually played it, NO, it is not "basically the same".
I intend to finish it, but I'm gonna have a bad time.

Just finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle! I loved it. Time to finish Avowed I guess?

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. This game is more talking than action and yet it's more exciting than any game I've played in the last 5 years

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC. Finished Remake a month back and enjoyed it. Only 15 hours into Rebirth, but I can see why people like it so much. Also playing COD Black Ops 6 for some multiplayer action.
Have a few things I need to get around to playing for the first time, including Death Stranding, Dark Souls II (only From soulsborne I haven't played), Subnautica, and some VR games on the Quest 3.
