Is anyone planning on playing the new System Shock remake? It was just released yesterday and is getting some pretty positive reviews. The original (along with its spiritual successor: Deus Ex) is one of my all-time favorite games. I need to get through NieR:Automata first. Oh, and that game is a complete mindfvck in its own right, and one I highly recommend. A friend tried to get me to play it for two years before I finally relented. Then she convinced me to stream certain parts so she can hear me react to the truly disturbing stuff. 🤣

I have it on my wishlist. Never played the original, but system shock 2 is one of my favorite games ever.  Unfortunately, my backlog is getting really long so not sure when I'll have time. Probably still gonna be with Zelda for the next month or 2 at the rate I'm going.

I was able to get an Xbox Series X, and have been playing Jedi Survivor. Either the graphics thing was patched already, or I just didn't notice it. Either way though, this is a fun game! More lightsaber styles (I'm sure many wanted the ability to actually dual wield, now we got it), more customization (finally something else than the poncho), new enemies, and even more places to explore! Plus, probably their best addition, fast travel between points you've been too. The first game did provide large environments with plenty to see and fight. But getting back to the ship was painfully slow after say, a big boss fight. Now, just get to the nearest rest point, and zip on back to the ship.

Anybody else looking forward to Starfield

Eh, not so much. It does sound impressive though. But, I'd rather have Elder Scrolls 6, or a Fallout that doesn't have the same engine/graphics that Fallout 4 has. And single player at that.

Me to. I think it will be an outstanding game 

For sure. It's like.... Death Stranding (also excellent like everything Kojima does) meets No Man's Sky or something. Maybe a little Elite: Dangerous Horizons mixed in for good measure.

Yes very excited, looks to be so good. Bethesda game in space, whats not to love.

 

Also Star Wars: Outlaws looks great. Open world(s) RDR type game set in the Star Wars universe.

I'm very wary of it. I want to be excited, but Bethesda's past wide open worlds seem very empty compared to evolved versions in Zelda and Elden Ring. I personally would rather 3-5 planets jam-packed with exploration and adventure than 1000 empty worlds. Maybe they can pull it off though.

I am playing Diablo 4 and it is fantastic. 

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

I haven't played NBA2K in a few years. It is free  for playstation subscribers right now so I got it. I see that they have eras now. I'm going to prove that the bills were just a fluke abd the best team of the 90s was actually the Utah Jazz !!

For the first time since the N64 days, I got a wrestling game. WWE 2K23. The customization for your own character is off the charts. Plus, bringing in legendary wrestlers like Andre the Giant, Goldberg, and others, I am really enjoying it.

I have it as well, and agree with your assessment. 

AEW Fight Forever comes out tomorrow, but I haven't read any of the reviews on it yet.
