I've reached tier 4 of the quickhacks in Cyberpunk 2077, I just need to get a bit more money to get the truly powerful ones. I now primarily use quickhacks, especially the contagion one, to deal with groups of enemies. One of the side missions had a reference to GLaDOS which was pretty fun. I...

I see that the game is estimated to cost less than $10 million to make and it has sold more than 10 million copies. So they should be able to keep developing for quite a few more years if they want.

I use my pistol with silencer pretty frequently as well to take out low level goons, or higher level ones if they survive the Contagion quickhack with a little bit of life left. I also have a precision rifle which I use if I screw up and get detected and rushed by melee enemies. I do also have...

I've reached Act 2 in Cyberpunk 2077. I've upgraded all my cyberware to tier 2 at least, with a couple of tier 3 quickhacks (those things are expensive!). I've been putting pretty much all of my perk points in Intelligence to boost my quickhacks, since, unlike stealth, they work during combat as...

I played some more Cyberpunk 2077. I got a quest to save a hostage, preferably without killing anyone, but apparently a shelf of falling crates was way more lethal than I expected. At least I almost have enough money to get the tier 2 quickhack thingy. I also continued the Barotrauma...

I think it's been going on for a while. I suspect businesses noticed that if a page took too long to load their users would leave, so they now show the page before it's done loading.

Yeah, it's not just that the bosses have a massive health pool, it's also that they aren't mechanically interesting, so it just feels like a slog. The bosses in Baldur's Gate 3 typically require you to come up with a strategy beyond just whacking away. I had one boss in Cyberpunk 2077 that I...

I'm done with Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord for the time being. It's nice for when I want something chill to play, but I'm in the mood for something a bit more intense. So I started playing Cyberpunk 2077. I put my starting points in tech, cool and intelligence, but so far it seems like it's...

This happened to me just now. I think it's certain websites that show the page before it's done fully loading, which causes the input fields to not function for the first second or two.

I have my doubts as well. Especially how well the AI will be able to path around the ships. I know that in the first Mount and Blade the AI didn't do very well with tight paths during sieges. I'm not sure how much better Bannerlord does as I haven't done a siege yet, but from what I've seen so...

I got 4/10. I got all of the ones wrong with 4 similar titles, but I did recognize the one about

I played the demo for Lessaria, a spiritual successor of Majesty 2. In fact, it's so much like Majesty 2 I wouldn't really be able to tell you the differences. The first 3 missions available in the demo were pretty easy, but when I tried survival I got overwhelmed just as quickly as I used to...

I just finished Merchant of the Skies. It's a fairly straightforward trading sim, where you travel between islands to buy low and sell high, though in the late game you have to set up your own production buildings on empty islands and eventually set up trading routes for a fleet of ships. It...
