    0. Just didnt play much and am losing interest in games in general. Also feel I am starting games but never finishing them. Also state of releases has been pathetic.

    Planescape: Torment!
    I tried it once in the past, but I was put off by how much reading it actually requires lol. However, many deem it to be a real old-school-RPG classic, so I'm gonna endure this time around (at least I hope I will)

    Darwinia. It was aight. I didn't get into it enough to finish it, pretty minimalist arcade formula. But I always meant to play it and now I have.

    Morrowind. All the tech/code/stability mods for this game have made it a dream to play now, it used to be a shambling mess of a game engine. The content itself has aged well. I don't think Morrowind will ever die - although I've still never completed it, it remains the most engrossing RPG for me, largely because of how close to literature and pen&paper RPGs it is in the execution. I like games that make me read and imagine stuff, as opposed to a stunning HD cinematic experience like MW2019 or RDR2. I grew up with lots of books so I guess that's my brain's bias.

    Ooh, fun fact time: every now and then you'd get a really, really long loading screen on the Xbox version. This was because the game had run out of resources and used a hack to silently reboot the console in the background, loading the game and a quick-save from scratch as a nuclear form of garbage collection.

    It's like the Boris Johnson of game engines, you think you know all the ways it's incompetent, but there's always one more :lol:

    I mean... That's a pretty ingenious solution, but I feel like stopping it from being a problem in the first place would have been a better use of time...

    SUPERHOT 11/10

    The second time I've played this through, and it's just as much fun as I remember. I would say this game is on the list of essential games a gamer should play, up with the likes of Half-Life. Yes, it's quite short (you'll get through it in an afternoon) but it's extremely well executed.

    GOOD DOG

    Might of bolloxed it up :wallbash: im not good with these things.

    That said ... having a field day with all these old games. Its totally re-invigorated me to play games from past yonder. All the PS2 games are upscaled to 4k and look stunning .. Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of ... someone looks and plays amazing. Might start a Retro gaming thread see what people are playing.

    Got into an N64-rush recently, so it's Ocarina of Time, Benjo Kazooie, Mario 64, and Golden Eye!
