Redfall is a vamprie based shooting game im near certain. Its been a while since i saw the trailer for it. Also i didnt know there was a leak for Starfield, might have been a factor in it?

I really can't see that being the case tbh. I think it really comes down to Bethesda being able to. They've been bankrolling Starfield with six billion Skyrim re-releases that everyone has to buy and they more or less self-publish. They have the funds and the ability to release whenever they want, I'm willing to bet this isn't the first time it gets delayed, I wouldn't put money on it right now but I wouldn't be suprised.

E: Arkane is making some class-based FPS and my hopes of seeing a new immersive sim before I turn 30 get smaller by the day.

Mechanically it's a bit bare, but it does solve a problem I had with Xcom that I've only really seen Phantom Doctrine address, but not as well. There is a counter that goes up as the mission goes on, using abilities ticks it up too, and when it hits 100% thr enemies start getting buffs and bonuses. It incentives aggressive play and it turns up the tension. I really like it.

I jailbroke my 3DS a few weeks ago since the eShop is gonna close. Grabbed a few essentials (Pokemon Bank, Poketransport, etc) as well as a 128gb microSD card, then downloaded every 3DS game I'll ever want. After all, since Nintendo doesn't want my money from the eShop, it stands to reason that I should respect their wishes and not give it to them. This has increased the longevity of my 3DS by years.

It's kind of neat to actually find a random weapon in Elden Ring that fits your build. Golden Epitaph is my new favourite straightsword. Shame that most bosses seem to be resistant to Holy damage, but it's still fun as a general-use weapon. Knight's Twinned Swords and Cross Naginata are still my go-to weapons, with the Monk's Flame Mace as a backup for tougher enemies.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate was pretty good. Classic Castlevania style combined with good graphics. I have mixed feelings about the story though.

You should check out what games there are before you make up your mind about that. There's a lot of them and even though I never heard of some of them before, there are some that looked interesting. Hell, I didn't even know there were two Shovel Knight games for the 3DS. :P

GSC Game World resumes Stalker 2 development

Ukraine-based studio GSC Game World has reportedly confirmed that development on Stalker 2 "continues".

Development of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl was paused back in March as the company is based in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, which has been repeatedly targeted during the ongoing Russian invasion. It's since relocated to Prague whilst the war persists.

As spotted by polish site GRYonline.pl, (via VGC) however, the studio is now back at work, having confirming to fans on its Discord community that "it continues" development.

GSC Game World had its website blocked by the Russian government last month. The Stalker 2 website, unsurprisingly, includes a message of support for Ukraine. The developer has also called for an end to Russia's brutal invasion of its home country, as it struggles to continue development while the country has been under attack.

Earlier this month, Stalker fans noted that the game's name had been subtly changed to reflect the local Ukrainian spelling of Chornobyl, rather than its original Romanised Russian spelling of Chernobyl. The change followed a video update from GSC on its moves to protect employees and families in Kyiv as the Russian invasion began.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl was previously set to launch at the end of 2022 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
Stalker 2 is back in Development with the developers having relocated to Prague in the Czech Republic as long as the war continues. Obviously the game will no doubt be delayed and come out next year at some point instead of this year.

Wasting some time on modded-to-the-end Empire TW. Portugal playthrough, realized Pink Map, and am well into re-conquering Brazil. There will be no Huehuehue-shenanigans on my watch, caralho! América do Sul é nossa! :D

With modern hardware this game really shines... I had almost 30.000 men on the screen, without so much as a stutter. Modern games suck anyway.

I'm going to play it, and also I'm going to use it to make some screenshots, as always.

Cities Skylines is honestly one of the most confusingly addictive games I have ever played.
