I played Athena then because I liked her design and after seeing her in Tales from the Borderlands. If I ever replay the game I would try the more “out there” option like Claptrap.

Honestly now that I wrote it out I remember TPS maps weren’t as fun as BL2’s hence me not replaying the game back then.

I finally 100% Arkham Knight after 9 years, completing all the Community Challenges trophies, including Requiem for a Killer challenge (the one where you have to do a 400±combo in a endless combat challenge to reach and defeat the secret boss).

Think I’m gonna install Red Dead Redemption 2 next. Finished RDR for the first time last year and wanna finish the sequel, which I started a few years back on the PS4 but dropped.

Tales from the Borderlands is the best Borderlands game, and it’s a shame that they even screwed that game’s characters up in Borderlands 3

Imma need cross-play before I join the fray. All my friends play the game on PC.

Completed my first playthrough of FF16 last week. Great experience, although not perfect. It’s the opposite of FF15 for me: while 15 gradually narrowed down the openness toward the end to achieve a tight narrative finish, FF16 pacing in the final act really faltered. The penultimate boss is generic religious nutjob spouting generic obedient sentiment compared to the previous personal fights. And they bombarded you with too many side quests right before the final fight, which massacred the pacing. So it’s not perfect pacing-wise, but with excellent gameplay and characters, overall I still really enjoy this.

Meanwhile, just started the Burning Shores expansion of HFW. Love how “good” it is to explore the world on the PS5, excited for the future sequel.

Just bought Burning Shores expansion for Horizon FW. Been waiting for it to go on sale for the first time since buying the PS5. Time to experience the next gen version of the game.

Having followed Kiryu from Yakuza 0, this sure looks to be a sad reunion

Maybe I’ll install the Dreamcast emulator on Vita and try it out

I grinded the endgame for the trophies. Thank god there are 12 different characters to cycle through or I’d have died of boredom. But the campaigns were fun, so I got my 5$ worth.

Is there an easy way to migrate from the official app to Fennec? Keeping accounts, extensions and settings?

I assumed you are on PC, oops 😅 both Spider-Man games are available there

You’re better off playing the two Spider-Man games, seriously, Spider-Man in this game sucks

Star-Lord plays like a third-person shooter, with special abilities. In battle, the other Guardians auto-battle, but you can issue commands to them to activate special skills. It’s more strategic in that nature.

In exploration and story, there are also decision-making moments that lightly alter the game.

Unlikely, given that Crystal Dynamics was sold by Square Enix to Embracer Group last year and had been the publisher since. I do understand the confusion: People being genuinely interested in something without monetary incentive? Unheard of.

GotG plays completely differently. You control Star-Lord, and as leader of the Guardians, issue commands to the others. It’s akin to a team-based RPG (I made the comparison in another comment, think FFXV). It has role-playing element in storytelling, the level are well-designed corridors instead of Avengers’ semi-open playbox. Coming out near and from the same publisher as Avengers really hampered GotG’s perception but it is a worthy experience.

Best part is that those additions are free so you cost nothing

GotG and its combat system gives me the same feeling as FF15. For a party gameplay, it’s a good system to develop the bonds between characters.

It’s fully playable offline now. All cosmetics DLC are unlocked from the start as well.

I tried the Open Beta. It was fine but not enough to make me fork over cash.

Well, it’s why we’re here anyway, to enjoy fully updated game at a fraction of the cost 🤣

Extra: Marvel’s Avengers lack of success led to less than stellar initial reception to another Marvel game of Square Enix, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (2021). The devs had to spend time before release clarifying that GotG is purely single-player, with no microtransaction whatsoever.

GotG is a fantastic game that was inspired by the MCU but still offers a distinct experience due to its heavy comic roots (Drax the Destroyer instead of Drax the Dadjoke, for example). If you want a more focused Marvel experience, GotG is the game for you.
