Games

Oh my god, I was just thinking about replaying Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. What a great surprise!

Most notably Cyberpunk is now the first game to have DLSS 4 and the new multi-frame generation.

Amazing interview in 3 parts with one of not only the prominent writers behind the game, but one of the co-creators of the setting through years of tabletop sessions and world building. Amazing insights into the game, the development and the lore - an absolute must watch for anyone obsessed with Disco Elysium.

Part 2

Part 3

Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

I continued to break my CFW PS3 Slim in today with LittleBigPlanet 2 (and a little bit of Uncharted). I bought it completely on a whim but I love this thing. For only $90 it’s a powerhouse. I connected to my Jellyfin server with it and used it to stream a movie today, and I installed LittleBigRefresh to reconnect to some online servers and even popped into a public game with someone. It’s so much fun being able to play online again after the servers shut down. My only complaint is that all the Applications it came with fill up my home screen, I’d much rather if it had its own bar on XMB.

I have a friend I setup on RPCS3 with LBP2, I need to see if I can somehow set it up where we both can play together. I don’t know if it’s possible though due to LittleBigRefresh not having its own friend system from what I can tell.

I went through the entire first world, and started on the second one. I only just figured out there was a fancy photo mode though at the very end after I was shutting it off for the day (that’s what the main picture is of).

I had forgotten how good the game looked. It’s really simple but it’s a really good looking PS3 game.

I didn’t get many screenshots of LBP2 due to not realizing there was a photo tool until way later. But I did grab some of Uncharted 1 in all its 480p glory, so I’m going to share those with it. I have to say, it looks really good in some places for an early PS3 game.

Namely the Waterful in the above picture. The Water in this game is really pretty. Idk if it’s because I first played it on PS4 or if I just remember wrong but I really like the water. It’s one of my favorite next to OOT and Mario Galaxy’s.

I also got this picture of the sunset(?) as I was leaving the U-Boat. It was a surprisingly good picture, especially considering how oily everyone’s faces look in the game.

Right now I have the PS3 backing up my copy of LittleBigPlanet Karting. I might play a bit of that tomorrow and maybe try my Japanese version of Okami, or maybe my Genesis Collection copy too. I wish I knew where my copy of assassin’s creed Black Flag and Rogue went. I have them on Steam but I’d love to have my PS3 copies backed up due to the sentimental value behind them (and also for preservation).

TL;DR: CEO steps down

I got a new PS3 I've been waiting on for a week in the mail today. I installed CFW on it and decided to break it in with my Childhood copy of Minecraft PS3 edition while I had LittleBigPlanet 2 installing. I grew up on Xbox 360 edition for half of my childhood, but PS3 edition was what kept me hooked for most of the later half of my childhood. I booted into the tutorial world and just ran around in it reliving my childhood. My first stop was the Chest with the Flame bow:

after this I went by the hotel area to check it out (I built the iron golem too, which will be relevant later). Growing up I had memories of this area because a creeper spawned on the lip on the back and blew me up when I went to sleep:

Leaving the main castle, I went out towards the village and found this guy just chilling in the field like he belonged there:

Moving past him wrapped back around too the Animal Pens to swipe some food and snapped a picture of the wolves:

After that night started to fall and I went back, and found the iron Golem chilling on the roof like a Brahmin from Fallout 4:

After stopping by the Hotel on more time to sleep, I did one last lap around and got these screenshots before calling it quits for the night:

During the Steam Real-Time Strategy Festival, what games would you recommend buying? I mainly played turn-based strategy games like HoMM, Pennon and Battle in the past. Now I am interested in trying RTS games. Are there any must-have series games you would recommend?

Horizon the robot dinosaur game, not Forza Horizon the racing game in case anyone was confused like me.

For the first time ever, the RTS-genre gets a chance at being in the spotlight So tell us games are you going to play or are looking forward to ???

I picked up Slime Rancher 2 along with the Entire Assassin's Creed Bundle (it was only $70 for me, so why not?) today. I wanted to give it a try after first playing the earliest version on Xbox Cloud Gaming. I have to say, this one feels a lot more forgiving. I feel like i'm drowning in Chickens within days. For context this is my Stony Hen Coop after a day:

I also kept getting a ton of the rare slimes in the game. I saw two golden slimes in the 2 hours i played and the lucky slime too:

This game has a new weather system which I really like. I had a twister spawn in and some Dervish slimes showed up. That's what the main screenshot is of. A dervish slim popped up right as Lightning Struck. I'm hoping there will be new Weather specific slimes, because i love the idea of them being specific to certain weather types.

I also have been collecting the tabby slimes (my favorites), i have 4 right now and an exclusive coop for them:

On top of that i made most of my fortune so far from cotton slimes. They've been really easy to keep fed which is nice. I have a garden that produces their favorite vegetable. I get about 25 a harvest:

Overall i'm really liking this one. It feels like a much more refined version of the first one. I'm really excited to see where this goes during the final release (whenever that is)
