Game of GamesFinally finished Red Dead 2. My gosh, I loved and hated this game. At times it was so fun and engrossing, then at other times so slow and tedious.

Crazy how there is a gaming drought in Jan, followed by too much games in Feb.Playing Sifu (PC). It really fun but really difficult. Dynasty warriors Empires 9 (PC) and Horizon Forbidden West (PS5) later this week. Giving Series X backlog a break this month. Dropping FF7 Remake (PS5) for now. Square really got extra with the liberties its taking with the story. Will come back to it in the summer, probably.
I have a backlog. Don't feel like starting any new games till I get through at least one game I've already started. But I don't feel like finishing the games I've started.
Describe what this quandary is.
I understand this feeling. Barely have time for games, but game keep getting longer......When I have time, I rather spend playing Fortnite with some friends. After I am done, I also spend about 2-3 hours at night on the 3D print side design job I am trying to branch out (because one 35hours job is not challenging enough....).I have a backlog.

I'm with you. The older I get, the more responsibilities I have and the less time I have for gaming. When I was in my 20s and single, it wasn't nothing to lose my whole night and/or weekend to a game. Now in my 40s when I get home spend time with the wife and kids and by 10 pm I'm done. I may play for a few hours before I go to sleep but those marathon sessions are long gone. Shorter more digestible game are starting to be my jam.I understand this feeling.

By the time I can play game, its mostly late at night, 10 11+, & often I prefer to just chill rather than play game. Doesn't help when many games have s***ty checkpoint save system that are very far apart. The fact that I have to devote at least 1 hour or so (thats assuming I did not died to bosses or something) of gaming to have any progress.
Its 2022 already, why can't we just save the game where we are, & return to eactly where when we load instread of stupif checkpoint 10mins from where you are & you have to refight all the mobs you already beaten. .

I resumed my first playthrough of Cyberpunk and am over halfway through the game, I think. Some of the side character close ups are amazing but the NPCs on the street still look like crap.Here's what I'm juggling right now:
Switch: Triangle Strategy - Seems like this will be a slow LONG burn similar to Fire Emblem: 3 Houses. Might only get 1 playthrough out of this one.
Series X : Psychonauts 2 - Picking this back up as a palette cleanser. All I can say from being half way done is this game SHOULD have won more awards or gotten more recognition.
PC: Cyberpunk 2077 - A buddy convinced me to reinstall and see what Patch 1.5 was all about. So far what I'm seeing is this is the bare minimum of how the game should have originally shipped.
PS5 : Nothing right now but I anticipate Horizon Forbidden West in a few weeks.

I imagine if I ever retire I'm going to revert to my adolescence and my wife won't see me for days on end from marathon gaming. Assuming I still have the dexterity and cognitive functions to do so.
Downloaded the demo, but haven't started it yet...Tiangle Strategy - Seems like this will be a slow LONG burn similar to Fire Emblem: 3 Houses. Might only get 1 playthrough out of this one..

I put over 100 hours into Dragon age inquistion, Good game. What I like is you can gear everyone of your team, as well as gain FULL CONTROL of each (toggle), So you can play as warror, mage, archer etc in a single campaign, just switch to a teammate.Dead Space series is officially finished. While Dead Space 3 was certainly a different type of game than 1 or 2, I still enjoyed it and it shed a lot of light on the overall story and lore. It just isn't a survival horror game.
Now to finish the Dragon Age series with Dragon Age Inquisition next.
It's strange, from my memory it got great reviews at release with no complaints as to it being worse than it's predecessors. Sometime after (when Andromeda released?) it suddenly was as low point for the series according to the internets.I see that DAI get some criticism on the internet
DAI is a great game. I enjoyed my 100+ hours of gameplay. The female chars are "unconventional" in look though, which is a minor complaint.It's strange, from my memory it got great reviews at release with no complaints as to it being worse than it's predecessors.

It's a great game and I'll even rank it higher than Origins imo.
I got burned out by the original Dishonored, Played no kill/Steath, & all DLC that I never felt like returning to the series.I'm still working on Triangle Strategy. Its a long game and I got distracted. However so far its my GOTY. Again its a shame it will get overlooked by the end of the year because it is a really good game.
I also started Dishonored: Death of the Outsider as it was the only game in the Dishonored series I hadn't played. You can say what you want about Arkane but they are superb level designers. Dishonored 1-2 and Deathloop have excellent level design and balance. So many different ways to tackle a mission.
