It was funny to me seeing comments from people saying things like “I haven’t been a fan of COD for four years but this pulled me back in!”

I’m like, four years? That’s it? How long have fans of other franchises been sitting on their asses waiting for a sequel for their beloved games longer than four years? I can think of quite a few tbh. It just made me feel like the average attention span for a COD fan was extremely short (relatively speaking).

It’s just an arcadey cozy city builder like Townscaper, but with a cyberpunk coat of paint on it.

I’m in the discord. The dev pushes out updates regularly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the full game. When I played the demo, there was a lot more randomness involved in everything; now you can select which buildings you want to place, what decorations to put and where, and you can tweak their sizes and such.

You can also use your own art and small gifs for the ads you can place.

ETA: the photo mode is great, and there’s even a panorama/moving camera mode so you can make little scenes panning across your city. It’s definitely a good little cozy game that I’d recommend to anyone who likes cyberpunk and city builders, just don’t expect any actual gameplay or story aside from placing buildings and such.

I would kill for a Jak 3 remaster. I loved using the button mash glitch with Light Jak and flying around using the wings. I played through that game so many times as a kid.

Also why the fuck won’t Sony port both those series to PC?!

Jet Set Radio Future and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Deep Field (developers of Unfortunate Spacemen and Abiotic Factor) has actually recreated entire saves for AF that people have lost. The main director has popped into the discord to tell the people himself that he would fix the issue. I thought that was pretty cool.

Ruiner, The Ascent, Signalis, hell even Selaco.

It’s probably a bit more sci-fi what with the android women, but I’d consider it cyberpunk.

You mean the new Dark Alliance game? I prefer the old 2004 one anyway.

I played the demo and had a surprising amount of fun with it. I kept trying to see how far I could get to one of the other islands not technically part of the demo.

I ended up making it to the volcano, but that’s it.

Then you may not like Abiotic Factor, even though it’s very large.

It’s like a mix of Half-Kife and SCP, but it’s a survival crafting game that takes place in a huge secret underground research facility. The story is it’s under attack and you need to escape the containment breach.

Also, in my experience, the volcanic area in the bottom right corner of the map hardly has anyone there. That’s where I usually go for all my voyages as I can safely make my rounds before making millions selling it all.

I still think about “Border-Halo-Lands-of-Warfar-Part-2-The-Awaking” from Honest Game Trailers

Damn. I played DKO for a few minutes last year when they had their free weekend. It was free to keep it you put in playtime during the weekend, so I have it.

Why not call it “Dave game universe”? “A Dave cinematic universe but for games” is quite a mouthful.

That’s how I feel about games like Borderlands. They’re incredibly fun games with simple yet fun gameplay with decent stories and cool maps.

I can’t get into the whole min/maxing, “proper” builds, or gear loadouts. I just wanna run through a wasteland blasting dudes in the face with cool guns and abilities.

Careful, if you play Morrowind and the other Elder Scrolls games, a lot of other RPGs won’t feel nearly as satisfying to play.

There aren’t many games where you can see a thing and just walk to it, or go into a random house and see (and interact with) all the shit they have from forks and plates to baskets and books. Speaking of books, how many other games are there that have actual books you can read in-game, that explain lore and have poems and plays like we have IRL?

And that’s not even getting into builds and play styles. You can be a tanky heavy weapons expert who just steamrolls everything in a couple hits, or you can be a glass cannon archmage blasting dudes left and right; you can also be an entire mix of all the things if you want. Be a magic tanky stealth archer that takes what they want when they want. Also you can kill essential NPCs in Morrowind (in the later games they just get knocked out).

I love the Elder Scrolls games, jank and all. They’re absolutely fantastic at putting you in an atmospheric world that feels lived in.

Does it matter?

I’ve been playing a ton of Borderlands because the whole series is on sale on steam. Got the Pandora’s Box collection for like $50 and it comes with all the main games with all DLCs, plus both Tales games. Plus I bought Wonderlands for like $12 cause it’s also on sale right now.

I’ve been having an absolute blast. I finished the first one the other night and immediately jumped into Wonderlands last night. Wonderlands is fun as hell, honestly; it makes me want another game in this Wonderlands series because the Borderlands formula fits so well for a fantasy looter-shooter/RPG.

You’ve almost described Jet Set Radio Future or Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, although those games are single player.

There is a multiplayer mod for BRC though.
