I tried playing Death Stranding but the very mechanics of the walking and keeping your balance totally turned me off. Looked great, interesting world, all the voice actors were amazing…but the thing fell flat.
Glad it was free on Epic!

If we have any Total War fans here, I highly recommend Pharoah: Dynasties. Creative Assembly more than rectified the botched release which was TW: Pharoah. This new version has very distinctive factions and the map covers all of the Middle East plus the Eastern Mediterranean.

I played most stopped after Rome 2. Got WarHammer TW 1 and 2.
I played a lot of them with DarthMod, but I like it vanilla too!
Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game came out on Gamepass today.
I just started up and was attempting to do the tutorial and this happened.
Looks like my offroading skills are just as good as my flying ability.

They’ve got a new one in development that’s about building bridges, paving roads, etc that I am quite excited for.

After a 5 month hiatus I reinstalled “Starfield” over the weekend and put a couple of hours into it. I’m liking the new bounty hunter missions that were added but I haven’t tried the new rover yet.

These are genuinely really cool.
Alright spent about an hour in Into the Radius this past weekend. Just completed the tutorial, mucked around your initial base, and checked out the shooting range. Overall I like it so far, I was playing wireless and forgot to switch my laptop to “gaming” which lets the fans run full throttle (If they were exhaust versus intake fans I swear it would hover). Had a few micro stutters but nothing too crazy, so it should be butter smooth when I’m not thermally throttled. Should have more time this weekend to get into it.

Awesome, enjoy the ride. There were many times where I had to stop and turn it off after losing a firefight, or being chased by sliders/spawns, because I couldn’t handle being stressed out any more.
Do consider looking up some of the weapons cache locations. There’s quite a few good guns there for the taking, although it might be a bit before you can afford ammo and mags to keep them fed. I turned up the # of enemies, lowered the anomalies and shop costs, and bumped up the mission rewards to make the game suit my playstyle a bit more.

I’m enjoying Outlaws, so far. About 20 hours in. I’m still on the first planet. Can’t comment on other planets, but the first one has a decently large map to explore.
I’ve read some about how some feel the stealth is problematic. But it’s much more fun than I anticipated. Reminds me a bit of Metal Gear, years ago. Sneak here, hide there, selectively doing a silent stealth kill on a guard here and there. Disable alarm panels, in case things get “loud”. Crawl in air ducts.
Out in the wilds, I can go after pirates with the blaster and grenades. As long as I’m not seen, no one cares.
The game is certainly driven by it’s story, which has Kay Vess constantly making deals that lead to trouble. But constant scrapes are what keep the gameplay going.
The sense of ‘Star Wars’ is pretty good, and hopefully even stronger once I reach places like Tatooine.
