I'm catching up on some oldies that I bought but never got to, as well as free Epic games; so I started Breathedge last night. It's pretty decent so far, not as engaging as say Subnautica, but we'll see how it progresses.

Cyberpunk is actually good now.

Few hours in after the edgerunner update and so far no quests bugged out or completely broke.
Jackie actually had guns in his hands and not just pointing fingers.
Driving is way better

Overall it is almost a polished experience, but there is still a lot of jank and texture pop-in will forever be a problem it seems, but that is, because Redengine is not great.

Thankfully they are jumping to Unreal engine for future projects.

So, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is awesome. Really enjoying it. BLOODY frustrating, jeez. And I am playing on Normal level.
Played the one level 7x last night as I kept on dying. Pretty cool though!

I really want to go re-visit that game again, but I am holding off till they release the new police system and see how that pans out, I am really excited for it. And also really curious / excited about the DLC that coming out, keeping my eyes peel for it!

I finished my first playthrough with all the glitches and bugs with 100 hours in back in 2020. Now I saw people getting really good performance now and main/side quests that I have done with hilarious glitches/bugs, seeing that they run perfectly now on certain streams that I have watched.

I am pretty sure I am right at the end of act 1 of Ghost of Tsushima, but needed to go out last night.

Off on holiday now for a week, which I think is actually great timing to avoid “open world fatigue”

Finished Max Payne. Great game, enjoyed it a lot. Really hard and ugly, but great. Played it so long ago that it felt like the first time again. Remembered almost nothing.

Dusted off my copy of Max Payne 2. They just don't make pc games like this anymore which is a shame :(

Anyway, so far the game is amazing. Played this one too long ago as well so remember very little. Everything has been improved and iirc this was the first game I played with ragdoll physics. Makes everything so much more fun lol.

Also for a game this old it's really impressive how almost every object in the game can be thrown around all over the place. Something you can't do in a lot of games today.

Love to just stand and watch tv haha. One of the things I love in GTA. Hope to see much more tv in GTA6 than there was in 4+5.

Replayed them my self recently, still highly playable and still one of the best gaming experiences of my life. Anyhow - anyone in the COD MW2 Beta?

May Payne is one of the best fictional characters ever created.
His story and his character evolves over 3 games and starts as a sympathetic character, gets some redemption, loses it all again and by the finale is a broken man wo finally decides to step up and stop feeling sorry for himself.

I believe without Max Payne Rockstar would never have been able to create Arthur Morgan

Careful, I haven't played MP3 yet :p

But yeah I love Max and his story, even though he says the strangest things in the first game haha. Michael from GTAV is also inspired by him, hence why he also has a bullet time ability etc.

Also, fun fact: the spray garages in GTA2 is called Max Paynt.

Spider-Man Remastered, PS5

I did check out Spider Boy miles as well, but wanna finish Spider-Man 1st. Must add they mapped out New York fairly well, even got to visit some of the places I stayed at IRL.

Sucks that Spider-Man Game Of the year edition that is on PS Plus Extra does not include PS5 version so ended up buying Miles Ultimate edition on sale that included both, Miles Morales and Spiderman Remastered edition, cause I wanted me ray's traced :D

Edit: Odd note, my GOTY edition save file did not carry over so I started afresh.
