What have you all been playing?

I finally finished avowed. I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit but I’m happy it’s done.

I also ended up being productive with my backlog and best both Cuphead and Jusant. Cuphead was great but I was ultimately disappointed in Jusant

    Been playing RoboCop Rogue City.

    It’s not bad, I like that it tries hard to be true to the movies. The character likenesses are there, the voice of RoboCop, and the one liners are all there. It plays like a budget title, though. Limited voice cast. Limited gameplay scope, crappy animations, crappy writing. It’s not bad, as long as you go in with budget title gameplay in mind.

    The big issue is the buggyness. I’ve had it crash randomly during the first part of the game. Sometimes bugs happen that prevent you from progressing in the game, so you have to restart from a checkpoint. You also can’t quick save and load previous saves. You just get the one auto save. Video cut scenes in game won’t play in sync with the audio. You have to edit the config file to enable HDR, or else the game appears washed out. Mouse movement and fov just feel wrong. There’s a bunch of secondary weapons in the game, but they all suck compared to the auto-9. Fps are inconsistent and there’s a weird bug apparently with how some Nvidia functions are implemented, so using specific setting is necessary to get better frame rate.

    Anyway, gripes aside, I loved RoboCop as a kid and it’s nice to play a game that’s true to the character, unlike the loads of shitty RoboCop games we got in the 80s and 90s.
