Just make it a law that every game has to use the Decima engine because Death Stranding 2 runs at 60fps, loads in basically 1 second, and is a contender for best looking game of the generation.

Honestly, it’s looking like Monster Hunter Stories 3 will by my next “game where you collect monsters in some fashion” game.

Heavensward back in the day was 50 - 60 level content, and Stormblood after that was 60 - 70 level.

If anything you’ll be a bit overleveled as you go through that stuff. But that’s no biggie since the dungeons and whatnot are dialed in to your gear’s iLevel more than your base level.

Yeah, try them all (that you have access to). It’s really fun to see how they differ.

And after the base game you’ll get to play Heavensward - which is a fan favorite story. A lot of people like it the best of all of them, even. Though I’m an Endwalker kinda guy myself.

Regarding FFXIV, hopefully this is good news to you, but you still have dozens of hours of free play time.

The trial goes to level 70 and includes the first two expansions!

I’ll also be playing FFXIV because of the newest patch.

But beyond that, I have Ghost of Yotei to play. It’s been good far!

Is this dude the biggest snake oil salesman in gaming?

I guess Fable was alright, but everything Peter promises seems to never manifest.

That’s why I don’t really use Steam to buy games anymore, too.

At least maybe use GoG if possible to get a DRM free version.

For me, when the Switch 1 came out it was just nice to have everything on the device and you never had to do the most heinous thing of taking a moment to put a cart into the device.

But more and more I buy one to two games a time and focus on those, so that issue is largely not a thing any more.

Honestly, I’ve kinda gone back to buying physical media.

I bought DK Bananza on cart, and guess what? After I finished it, I gave it to my brother. Imagine that! Sharing a game you own? Madness.

I’m eager to pick up Ghost of Yotei from the store this afternoon, as well.

Most recent: Death Stranding 2

I love that wild shit, and the story is very touching.

The one before that: Xenoblade Chronicles 3

There’s so much emotion in that game. Of all the games I have played in the last 37 years or so, I cried more in XC3 than I think I have in any other game. So good.

Yeah, hurry and buy up, Gabe needs a new yacht!

I have a friend who was laid off from there today. Definitely feel bad for them.

Oh I know, I’ve seen a lot of “Billionaires are evil, but not MY billionaire. DAE buy 50 games during the steam sale you’ll never play LOL?”

Gabe and his 300 yachts thanks you.

I don’t know if this actually does what I hope it does, but if I happen to watch a video that I don’t want recommendations on in the future, I manually delete the video from my watch history.

I don’t know if that really helps, but at least as a placebo it feels good to do.

Having only played BG3 and bouncing off of it relatively quick, I’d say the other one.

Sure it isn’t wink wink

Rey also gives Kilo a saber through the force in RoS.

It’s weird, and those things are some of my least favorite additions of the series.

RoS was so bad it makes any negatives of episode 8 pale in comparison.

Oh no, Chewy is dead! Wait he’s alive.

Can’t access the sith language [for some reason].

The dagger is a map! But only if you stand in this one exact spot and even then it just kinda points in a general direction to a place on a crashed ship.

Just nonsense.
