General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

I thought I was going to play Ark Survival Ascended, but I spent over an hour looking at mods, and now I I'm tired of it for the day 🤣

Sadly, most of the mods I'd really like are "premium" and cost actual money.

I started up Marvels Midnight Suns on a whim yesterday. I really enjoyed the combat mission I got to do yesterday, unfortunately I had half an hour to play it today and all I had time to do was key through some pretty wooden dialogues with the Temu Avengers. Seems how I feared so far, gameplay fun, story tosh, but maybe it gets better later. I'll give it a bit more and hope it lets me play it enough to keep me interested.

Still really liking Resident Evil 4, the combat is really good and the story is fun in a badgood way so I dont mind it. I even bought the other games that came to PC on sale for like €12 because it was a ridiculous deal. Maybe Im an RE person now, RE4 definitely has me hooked, just wish I had more chance to play it.

RE4, just imagine how the original version was viewed when it came out in 2005. Its third person shooter style was different from any previous attempts and is basically what has been used ever since. Like the Half-Life games, it's still 100 percent enjoyable now, but the remake is the way to go, of course. They definitely got it right. And the story dialogue is pretty hilarious. Sometimes games come across cringy when they have dialogue like this, but it somehow hits differently with RE4.

Marvel Midnight Suns dialogue, on the other hand, is insufferable. That's actually the reason I quit the game.

Just seen the humble choice for this month and i've got all those games and the rest i don't want. Another miss for me!

Thats about it for now. no new updates on my front. Still playing path of exile, but i should be getting stuck into mapping now as i've been gingerly making progress in setting up end game content.

Below is a pic of how Embark has "darkened" maps so it forces players to use their flashlights more. Aside from cheaters using stuff to make it lighter and this not being realistic at all, we cant change the brightness or anything in the game options.

When I maximize that to fill my screen and turn off the lights in my room, it seems about right. I presume the game takes place after nearly all city lights have been extinguished.
