Currently doing a coop playthrough with my girlfriend, but as far as things go, i could never get in to Ark On my Own, and multiplayer is not my thing... However i proposed to play ARK while she's sick... She got hooked on a game, so bad, i been for last 4-5 days pulling 12 hour sessions of ark survival evolved... and will probably sink even more hours in to this, if i get a taste for modded ark

i'm only writing this review, as a general thing in my personal standpoint i'm living in a timeline where i expirience my childhood shooter in VR recently that being serious sam series.

Here's my two cents on GTA The Definitive Edition San Andreas port as it stands after all the patches and stuff...

The Good

Performance Wise - game runs very well considering i have a budget build, i can max out settings and have a very enjoyable time...

Rain effects - which were at first a problem and just looked plain ugly, got a retouch, and looks alot more realistic

in terms of missions - all your favorites are there... there's one bad thing i will point out, in terms of missions.

Character models - do not look like the sims 2 characters anymore, if anything they look about the same way i remember...

Classic lightning - this one is true for san andreas especially since PS2 lightning effects and original PC version have vastly different lightning when it comes to it... they redid PS2 version lightning and called it a day, which i dont mind, since PCSX2 version of GTA San Andreas we can all agree, is The Definitive Edition

The Bad

the dreaded rockstar launcher game requires it, and its annoying.

Cesar's intro mission, and Life's a Beach missions got a rework, in terms of how dancing works, not a fan... since i recall very well, dancing was alot faster in original San Andreas...

The Loading tune and original loading slideshow, while game loads is gone... This one is kinda sad, cause we can all agree Original san andreas had the best loading screen, which paved the way for 5 and 4's loading screens, hell even the Red Dead redemption 2, and Bully...

Also last i checked Trains cannot teleport not sure what is that about...

also shooting i dont recall being this borked...

Overall after spending 4 hours in remastered san andreas and wondering is this gonna be the time i finish one of these GTA games, i can safely say : to anyone who is wondering about buying the remastered collection, if you're getting for san andreas its worth it

Probably the best Role playing game, that was ever created, colorful cast of characters, a steep learning curve, in terms of combat encounters, absolutely 0 hand holding which means you need to actually use your brain, and not just steam roll through everything, on low difficulty setting, great level design and also Alice

BY THE HAZING OF THE SHADE I'LL KILL YOUR SHINING LIGHTS ! I'LL KILL YOUR SHINING LIGHTS

10/10 Material.

As an Ex Guitar hero player... i approve this game with my whole heart

YES.

its more of a same really, if you liked Diablo 4 base game, you'll like the expansion... if not, then i'm sorry what were you thinking about buying vessel of hatred new class is fair bit of fun... and it also adds new story chapter in a story. as someone who liked diablo 4 before seasons started, i liked diablo 4 once season 4 dropped... so Vessel of hatred is good stuff in my eyes... FYI : You dont go review bombing an expansion or mmo release... knowing full well online is gonna be janky af i expected this launch, my intial thoughts were okay i'm waiting 2 weeks... but apperantly, its not that bad... ignore people review bombing and give it a go, for yourself :)

I'm gonna give you a sales pitch for Euro truck simulator 2, yes its all about trucking but...

1. Game has mods which is cool
2. Game runs smoothly assuming your PC runs well, which is cool
3. Game is filled with new content, on almost monthly basis... which is cool.
4. Game goes on sale for 5 euros, which is also very cool
5. Game is really nice and chill, also easy to learn... Which is also really cool.
6. Game comes with radio station, called Truckers FM, which is run entirely by the community, they have a discord server, a website, you can mess around with presenters, request songs, and all while driving a virtual Truck...
7. Full linux support - Runs beautifully on linux controller support and wheel support too... i'm using HORI Racing Wheel Overdrive and runs beautifully
8. Has VR mode which is cool and a definitive way to enjoy this game.

Want a definitive expirience for Euro Truck simulator 2 ? VR headset and steering wheel + entire map unlocked, and i am not gonna be held responsible if your friends and family dont see you for week

From someone who replayed Resident Evil 7 twice, and gave RE 8 Villiage a chance...

I'll admit i played villiage twice... first time i got talked in to playing it, and remember disliking exploration part and getting lost all the time... plus endless backseating from so called pros of the game...

Now that i sat down to play it myself ? i played resident evil 7 twice for this ? sorry, but this is some sick joke right... I'm gonna list the good stuff in villiage first, before i jump in to negatives... 1. the intro cinematic, Villiage of shadows tale is beautifully done, by far the best part of the entire game... 2. Puzzles i like solving them, they are intresting and require some actual thinking, game dosen't spoonfeed you solutions out the gate, like most games in past 10 years... and two characters... Lady D, and Heisenberg or as i call him the Metal bender from avatar...

negatives.

Story - its boring, yes villiage of shadows tale is well done... but the events being retold, and how its done does not make any sense... and tale kinda spoils you the ending of the game, and the final boss, so why even play it... compared to 7 where you dont know what's going on, your first playthrough.

Bosses - just shoot it till it dies, i love a good boss fight, but this is not IT... 7 had bosses, but atleast there was different ways to do them... here ? we gonna give you everything, go kill a boss DOOM 2016 style... where 7 every fight had a trick to it...

Horror is completely gone - horror aspect is gone, where RE7 had me scared and glued to the screen, RE8 Yeah we going all in on FPS genre... now i love a good FPS with monsters, This is ain't it chief... - 7 had action sequences, but 7 was also scary and played around it

and also the graphics - i seen ps2 games look better "the terror has never felt more realistic." then why this game put me to sleep ? seriously, what gives...


4 / 10.

DEATH TO NINTENDO !!!

i get pocketpair being sued by pokemon company... cause entire thing is simillar to pokemon, however... there's several things wrong with this... 1. what type of patent infringment, the sound when new area is discovered, because it reminds you of zelda :D the whole catching pals thing...

i played palworld, and entire thing is more of an ark survival evolved rip off then its pokemon... progression is same as ark, bosses work same as ark... building works same as ark... and yes you can capture dinos same way as pals in palworld... the only difference i see is the artstyle... so can someone please tell me where do you see simillarities to weebomon, its literally ark, with anime art style + alot more polish then ark devs could ever f*cking muster...

lets be real we have super smash bros ripoffs existing with 1 to 1 mechanics, and etc... Palworld is not going anywhere, however, now i wanna hurt anyone who enjoys pokemon :D

buy palworld and support actually smart devs ^^
