  I found a PS+ Deal https://www.cdkeys.com/playstation-network-psn/playstation-plus-1-year-subscription-canada Site looks sketchy but it worked for me. My co-worker got an extra 3 months on his whereas I only got 12 months but it's a solid deal. I always get screwed paying full price on PS+

  Sightseeing in Mafia Definitive Edition's free ride mode. Also, while doing this I found out that there's kinda hidden side quests in the free ride mode. Really curious about it, gonna check it out next time I have the urge to play this again.

  Desperados 3 dropped on Gamepass and I think I'll have to make some changes to my 2020 top. The game is phenomenal.

  Besides the co-op chaos that NSMB Wii introduced, it's not very memorable to me. It's one of my least favorite Super Mario games but I still had a decent time playing it with friends. New Super Mario Bros Wii is #15 of 22 on my list for 2009.

  @dipset said in Hitman 3 - January 2021 (PS4/XBO/PS5/XBSerX/PC): @hazz3r Damn! You're a world renowned silent assassin! I'll take your word on the review, but even a weaker link Hitman in this current trilogy is still pretty great. Just might be a hard pill to swallow paying full price. Its an Excellent trilogy that redeem after disaster absolution. btw Hitman 3 > Hitman 2016 > Hitman 2. China mission is easily best one in series

  Platinum #147: Astro's Playroom. Finally returned to this after a few months and earned the rest of the trophies. A few collectables and then a bigger bunch of all sorts of unique things to do were all pretty quickly found and done. A really fun little game to play and platinum, easy to recommend for all the PS5 owners, because, you know, it's free and all, you already have it there. :) Oh and I did the speed run one, too, which isn't mandatory.

  Picked this up for 5 US$ a few days ago, played for a couple hours already and have just reached level 6. It's pretty great so far. The gunplay is much more fun that it looks. It's not the flashiest shooter in town, but the weapon feedback and variety are solid, and they did a good job of portraying the enemies as absolute assholes. From what I have explored so far, Washington feels pretty dense in terms of activities, and the amount of objects, debris and whatnot does so much to sell the post-apocalypse vibe. The world's structure seems to be in line with other Ubisoft open world games, and I'm cool with it since the structure actually fits the theme of the game. I like that the game didn't immediately overwhelm me with all of it's systems. I think it does a good job of easing me in, unlike another looter shooter I played sometime ago. The story and characters are meh at best so far, but the presentation is not too distracting so I can live with it. I think playing this actually made me a bit hyped for Massive Entertainment's Star Wars game. I don't think I would be too hyped if it's another loot focused game, but I think they definitely can make a great SW game. Hopefully this game can keep up the momentum as it goes, I'm pretty hooked right now.

  I feel like ever since they announced the Xbox One Microsoft's whole game plan has been to shit the bed as hard as possible to gauge the public perception of their decision and backtrack based on that.

  But do they really need to be borged into Blizzard to work on Diablo 2?

  Donut County A cool idea that fails to effectively materialize. It's fun enough to swallow stuff into a hole but it doesn't really expand on its core idea until very near the end. And the way as the narrative ties all together, while light hearted and funny, it's for the most part underdeveloped and at times annoying. Visually it's just functional, borderline competent. Seemed like the kind of game I would love but ended up disappointing. 5.5/10

  @scotty Well if they were designing around SSD, might have some of that awkward Cyberpunk on PS4 stuff where transitions break the pace sometimes because of a long load screen that wasn't planned to be there originally, but still isn't the end of the world.

  I wasn't super hyped for it, but Cyberpunk 2077 is the definition of disappointing to me. I haven't played it, but I've seen a lot of footage and watched a ton of streamers play it. From what I've seen, it does nothing to push the envelope or innovate the genre. The graphics are absurdly good, and really that's its standout feature. ( Aside from the bugs hehe ) Within the last decade+, there have been games that do every aspect of Cyberpunk 2077 better except for graphical performance. I usually plan on buying two games at full-price per year and Cyberpunk was going to be one of those games. Based on what I've seen, I'm just going to skip it completely.

  There's a new free content update, and it looks pretty neat. It's only on PC though, for now at least.

  Finished Gorogoa, and I absolutely loved it. The way this game messes with my perspective is so cool, it's like I'm bending time, space and dimension itself to solve these puzzles. Early on, the puzzles are easy enough to make me feel comfortable with the mechanics, but the game keeps adding mindbending twists as it goes on, and I had a few "wow" moments because the puzzles looks so complicated at times. There are games that have evoked similar feelings before (the first example I thinking of is Echochrome), but the somewhat abstract and minimalist story adds a lot to the sense of wonder that the game consistently conjures. I do have a take on what the story represents, but it's quite basic and I'll probably think about it more in the next few days. Also, the game's a visual feast. This is perhaps the best game that I ever bought on a whim.

  My 15" Macbook Pro from 2012 had a good run but she's completely on the fritz along with my girlfriends Macbook something or other so I was thinking we might go half on a new laptop. She needs it for general computer stuff like web browsing and PDF's, while I figure I can use it to hook PC games up to my living room TV. Does anybody have any laptop recommendations that are capable of playing games? I'm not looking for cutting edge here, but I'm very far removed from the laptop world. From my experience, laptops get slow and shitty very fast (especially Mac's) so I'd prefer to get a brand that isn't full of bloat and won't have a seizure every Windows update. I know my old work computers were Dell and those were full of bullshit programs that I don't need. Does anyone have any brand suggestions? -- FYI, I have a desktop PC which is great but the only reason I still use my Mac is because I need to use Final Cut Pro 7 (from 2009) for work due to this archaic script we run which was coded by somebody who left our company over a decade ago and we've been too lazy to move on. Now all of the editing Mac's at work physically cannot run FCP7 and my laptop is the only one capable of it so long as I don't update the OS. Basically, if this Macbook kicks the bucket, our entire pipeline is completely fucked unless we code something new that works with Premiere Pro ASAP. Our I.T. is already on it, but this laptop holds a dangerous amount of weight that we absolutely should not lean on. I've been telling my boss for years but he prefers to see the fire first and put it out later.
