That’s true, but they still make a LOT of indirect references to it.

Yes, he’s the player character this round instead of Jesse.

Yes, click on the title instead of the image.

A friend finally convinced me to try out Dark Souls. I’m not too far in, and I’m not having a bad time per se, but I am having a little trouble getting into it and caring about why I’m hacking and slashing everything. Maybe I just haven’t got enough lore yet. Though I do like seeing the other players’ messages and their “ghosts” running around, that’s fun.

Man, this movie has one of the best soundtracks.

I have! It’s a really great game and I love it too. That’s probably why I’m having such a good time with Thief, since the gameplay is very similar. I’ve only really played 1 though; I did play Dishonored 2 once, but I couldn’t get into it like I did the first. I still need to play Death of the Outsider.

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the 2014 reboot of Thief over the past couple weeks. I’m having so much fun just sneaking around and stealing stuff and finding new hidey holes lol. It’s making me really want to try out the older games. I don’t know how I slept on it for so long because it’s been great.

I’m working on Diablo 4 Season 9. I wasn’t hearing great things about this season at first, so I held off for a few days until some patches came out, but I have to admit, I’m kind of having fun so far. I have an actual reason to do nightmare dungeons again, and personally, I kinda like the reliquary cosmetics this time around. I’m going with a Druid build, which is a class I honestly haven’t touched since season 1, and it’s not too bad so far.

As much as I absolutely love Lies of P, I’ve been holding off since I’ve been hearing about a lot of bugs. Sounds like I maybe need to wait for another patch, unless the patch they released a week or two ago is the only one.

Dead Space 3. Sure, it has some issues, but I didn’t realize how much others actively disliked it until I tried talking to people about it.

Edit: And the point of the post is immediately proven lol

That’s Rose Winters (Ethan’s daughter), and there’s a DLC for Village that features her that’s worth checking out!

I’m not sure, as far as I know none of the VA names have been released yet, but I bet some Capcom regulars will show up.

This looks it might be more related to Outbreak, since the (presumably) main character Grace is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft.

Still working through The Sinking City Remastered. I’ve become incredibly distracted by photo mode lol.

The Sinking City Remastered was released last week, so I’ve been playing that. I’m having a lot of fun with the newly added photo mode.

Started Diablo 4 Season 8, and I can’t say that I’m really into it this round. I have a laundry list of complaints, but it all really comes down to not feeling near as fun as previous seasons, and the world feels weirdly tighter than it has before? And I’m not sure exactly why.

Since I’m done with South of Midnight and it kept reminding me of Alice, I’ve been replaying Alice: Madness Returns. I both forgot how fun this game is and how horrible I am at jumping lol.

I finished South of Midnight, and overall I had a good time, although I wish it would have given some of the later game characters a little more depth. I really liked Hazel as a protagonist. I would love to play more of her, even though this does seem like a stand alone game.

I started South of Midnight. I’m liking it so far, especially the animation style and the jazzy soundtrack. It has some major Alice in Wonderland vibes. Although it is a little jarring playing a straight forward narrative after all the open world games I’ve been going through the last couple months.

Every time I see this game brought up it makes me want to play it even more. It looks like so much fun when you have a good group of people!

I finally finished Avowed! I really had fun playing it, and given that the map looks like it has more areas, I hope there’s an expansion soon.

Also played through Atomfall as well, though it wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. I didn’t have as much fun playing it as I did Avowed, but there were some nice, spooky sections that I enjoyed.

Currently achievement hunting Kona before it gets removed from GamePass. The one for not using any vehicles is such a pain, lol.
