Hey, I'm doing my part!!!
Maybe if enough English-speaking idiots like me buy this ridiculously Japanese game, Bamco will give us an official English port like they did with the Super Robot Wars series.

Where are the Elden Ring system requirements? I need to know if my rusty i5 6500 can run it.

Bought but then refunded Valheim. No option to invert the controller and i cant be arsed faffing about with setting up a Steam input profile. Also the performance was a bit choppy. Its still early access so i might re-buy down the line.
My guess is if you can run Sekiro you shouldn't have issues with Elden Ring as wellWhere are the Elden Ring system requirements?
It's still a PS4/ONE game
speaking of gaming news websites, i usually just get my news from here + www.gamingonlinux.com
pc gamer hasnt been on my radar for ages...i check my eurogamer now and then, but thats about it.

I got back into Guild Wars 2 again a couple days ago after not wanting to play for a long time. I'm having lots of fun with a new character to level. It's been so long that I have very little idea of how to play effectively despite already having several characters at level cap from a few years ago.
Maybe Blues News? Blast from the past thats still going strong. I don't visit there often although I never go there and then leave feeling sad about it. Unlike those sites you mention.
Boast post time: I played Jump King a while ago and didn't get very far. But I returned to the game recently, and 2 nights ago I got my first clear! I restarted when I came back, so it was across 2 attempts, and Steam said it took 8.5 hours. Then last night I played two more runs and got this time:
The game feels brutal at the start, but once you get the hang of the jump timings, you can breeze through it. It helps that there are a ton of knowledge checks. Many jumps can be trivialized, and even on jumps that can't, the punishment for failure is often different if you overshoot or undershoot. So you can learn to err on the longer or shorter side to hedge your bets.
I know Jump King has a reputation as a Twitch-bait game, but I think it's more compelling as a game about practicing execution than as a rage-game. It lets you experience a sense of mastery in a shorter time span than anything else I can think of, and I think that's a cool thing for a game to do.
Damn, he's good.

Around 21 September 2022, I imagine.
Yeah, it was also one that specifically said was a timed deal in response to someone on social media. That said, I bet the chopped down multiplayer version may have slightly extended the deal and 6-12 months after that, they may announce a Godfall: Gods Will Fall edition coming to all platforms or something haha.

It never came, yeah, but to be honest, their social media was also kind of dead.
It's funny 'cause my most-anticipated '22 release is actually a Q1 drop, Distant Worlds 2.
Looks like another Q1 prospect is Weird West. But outside of that, I'm not seeing a lot of dated Q1 titles of particular interest.
Certainly a number of "sometime in 2022" releases I'm hot for like Lorn's Lure, Citizen Sleeper, Rebots, Terra Invicta, etc.
But they could land anytime between now and Dec. 31st, if that.
In the end though if history is anything to go by, my GOTY '22 list will be dominated by titles I haven't even been following & never saw coming to begin with.
So, grabbed 2 games from the Steam Sale, Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone. While I am not the biggest fan of Modern Day Sony Games (broken record time GIVE ME GRAVITY RUSH 1 & 2 oh and while i think about it APE ESCAPE COLLECTION AS WELL). However at £20 each I think it is the perfect price. Especially as I will be getting rid of my PS4 soon and replacing it with a Blu Ray player.
I must remember to stop following the icons and try and stick to the story. I always burn myself out to soon when I follow the icons.

Ah, that's an idea... what I wouldn't give for an Ape Escape Collection.
A well done PC version sounds amazing!While I'm a little more positive on Sony's modern day output, I fully agree that their Japan Studio days were their golden era. Their newer games are great, but still lack that certain soul.
Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy there modern games, except for Naughty Dog (and even then I will be getting the collection for the side story game), but I just find they are as guilty of the problems behind a Ubi collectathon. Or used to at any rate. With Ubi's push to GaaS and the average length of an Ass Creed I am swinging back to Sony Games a bit more.Ah, that's an idea... what I wouldn't give for an Ape Escape Collection.

But you are right. I miss the days when something like Tokyo Jungle would be released. Or Vib Ribbon. Or The Legend of Dragoon. Or Patapon (and now I have the tune stuck in my head).
And there are some games I will be there day 1 for however. Ghosts of Tsushima and Spider-Man. I bounced off Spider-Man because of a second chase sequence and hated a couple of the stealth sections, but would love to give Miles Morales a try.
I really enjoyed Horizon for the story and world building (the gameplay, not so much, as its very much a 2018 game in that respect and the Steam version was my first time playing it). Now Ghost of Tsushima... yeah, you got me there, I loved that game so much!
Ubisoft, on the other hand, has absolutely lost the plot. Open world games with length for length's sake - after Valhalla (or at least, the couple of hours of it that I could tolerate) I'm perfectly happy not buying another one of those for a long while.
Or Parappa/Umjammer Lammy. Or Dark Cloud. Or Wild Arms. The list goes on and on.
If they ever got around to releasing these crusty old games on Steam (or, hell, anywhere) with a lazy upres and unlocked FPS, my wallet would hate me soooo much lol.
People have been begging for console re-releases and updates of these games for so long. I'm with you, I would totally shell out for even just a decent version of Legend of Dragoon or Dark Could or Parappa on PC. But I fear they'll never bother.
For those (like me) that still don't have it, Disco Elysium is at an excellent discount, especially if you already own / want Control as well for this random bundle: Save 69% on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut + Control Ultimate Edition Bundle on Steam
Time to replay old shit again!
Final Fantasy here we go!
And oh man, Final Fantasy 1 has aged... a lot. I never liked it much, and yeah, replaying it today it's just... very shallow by modern standards (... though modern would imply early 1990s considering how old it is and how things changed very fast back then), barely any story, no characters - they don't even have set names, and while you can choose a handful of classes to play your team... it's so, so simplistic. And so fast! You don't have time to breathe before you get to the next story point that is two lines of text!
Which makes sense really.
But yeah, not very fun combat, level design of its time, and definitely not much of a drive to keep you going. An interesting relic, but not much more.
Final Fantasy 2 on the other hand, it has characters! But more than that... I forgot just how different it was from all the other games in the franchise.
Dropping the level up system was pretty bold, it's SaGa's grandpappy, you gain stats and skill up your weapons and magic by using them in combat, taking damage, avoiding ennemies... it's so, so weird when you haven't touched the game in 20 years.
But I'm also glad I took a refresher on how the stats work, because I certainly didn't remember about the importance of shields (for agility), among others.
It's such a fascinating game, and I'd say it's still pretty fun today unlike FF1.
Also, I'm playin the PSP version and not the pixel remaster... and I think it looks really, really pretty. The game gets extra care put into visual effects beyond the 2D art, and it feels like what a proper remake should be... if a bit less in the spirit of the original NES game.

GOTG is a really good game, also suprisingly gorgeus and big in scale in many parts, reminds me off Mass Effect a bit.
OH, shoot. I may have been paid today. Yikes, sorry wallet and sorry NYE resolutions but Ed's got a big ol' list of VR games to look at!
Might splash out of GOTG too.

I think Deaths Door might be too hard for me.
I keep dying, yeah I get it, its the point, but I also notice I get super irritated when I do because its too tense. Life is hard as it is I don't need that from my games too.

The really terrible health system kept it from being much higher in my GOTY list. They wanted to do something different without just copying Souls it felt like, but the game was worse for it.I think Deaths Door might be too hard for me.

Yeah, at some point in my life game descriptions like, "precision platformer" or "twitch shooter" went from drawing me in to making me pass without a second glance.I think Deaths Door might be too hard for me.
I remember coming across a Sekiro monkey boss-fight video (I think it was a dunkey vid) and just shaking my head.
Oh well, "dad-game" genres filled in the gaps and I couldn't be happier. Strat/sim/management kinda stuff.
Funny how easy it is to clown on all things Boomer until Time comes for you too and you suddenly find yourself on the other side of that equation, lol.
Good game and a big game. Certainly a lot of game for that price.
I gave up on waiting until Microsoft fixes their Game Pass app, so I bought wasteland 3 + all DLC on steam. Loving it so far!
Except if you own the crippled Control Ulti
Ah, yea. Is there still no way to "upgrade" to the real one? I bought my ultimate key when it was super on sale once so I don't know the status of those weird versions they did to just screw people overExcept if you own the crippled Control Ulti
Did you play the Year X content ? Is it worth the insane price of the complete edition ?
May I suggest this then:-I think Deaths Door might be too hard for me.

Yeah pretty much the same for me. I loved all the harder games as a kid. Thrived on them. I am happy to ignore a lot of games that put themselves down as hard, especially ones that require good reflexes.
I am happy to play FFXIV now (will do end game content, but will probably never touch savage difficulty), play Total Warhammer in Co-Op with mates. Spend my time digging holes in minecraft/terraria.
I should retry Total Warhammer 1. My first attempt was… not good. I got rolled over by the AI and as in HoMM I have a hard time managing my troops number.
But an important question, capital, the best question first. I see all those wonderful promo videos with super cool units and I’m like, why bother, I won’t see shit. In my experience, but it was early game, maybe not representative, you don’t play with this level of zoom. Everything is tiny.
So did I play it wrong ?

Tbf, someone on the other site had wrongly equipped the umbrella instead of the sword. Woops.
Anno 1800 is great, the last Ubi game i bought. (and probably the last i ever will) Captured the spirt of 1404 and updated it.
I found Deaths Door to be right on the edge of my skill ability. I found it very tricky in a few places, nearly gave up but got through it in the end. Great little game, lots of charm.
I am really enjoying Wreckfest. So much fun racing around tracks bashing into people, watching the AI spin out and tumble around. Its my current go to mindless fun game.

Imagine waiting for MS to fix their game pass app.
First thing I would say is turn down the difficulty. If I remember rightly the difficulty in Total Warhammer games is the amount of HP they have. Autoresolve is your friend. If it says it's an easy win then go ahead and do it.
Secondly some factions are more difficult than others and then there champions also have a difficulty attached. Orcs are fairly meaty and survivable. Goblins not so much. Humans are decent all rounders, Dark Elves are glass canons. The heroes themselves also have an affinity for certain unit types as well.
As to later units. It depends on the faction, but generally the late game units tend to be the big beasts. So goblins get access to Araknarok Spiders. Elves get pheonixes and dragons.
Yep same here, is why I only bother to make time for very few Souls likes now.
I played Celeste not too long ago as well but tbh it felt like that kind of hard platformer was not what I wanted anymore.
And yes I know there are the accessibility options in that game but frankly it made the game feel pointless then
Oh my. A Solo Leveling game for PC/Mobile. Sure looks good
Solo Leveling is definitely style over substance, but it has that style in spades and that trailer sure seems to capture that.
Also in case you're wondering, it seems to be a singleplayer Action-RPG, not a gacha.
So I'm confused by this, I own the Humble version of Control. What would actually happen if I took up that bundle? It's technically worth it for Disco alone as the bundle shows a price to me lower than Disco standalone. Am I right in guessing the issue here is it wouldn't upgrade Control despite counting it towards the discount?Except if you own the crippled Control Ulti
I start to feel a bit overwhelmed by the games that I have started playing. Should have focused on one or two games.
I haven't played it yet but the soundtrack is fascinating. Have been listening to it for a long time.
Unfortunately I don't know. I bought a stand alone Control Ultimate key from GMG a while before the Humble bundle thing happened. For me the bundle on Steam just shows the Disco price, like yours does, but I'm guessing you don't get the "upgrade" for Control, no.
