    Few tempters there. May finally pick up Cult of the Lamb. Was looking at The Chant the other day as in a horror mood. Still waiting for some form of sale on Alien Isolation for PC cos I'm looking for a reason to do it again. Just never seems to happen though. Maybe also Planet Zoo since I bought Planet Coaster a few weeks back and am in a sim mood atm.
    Cult of the Lamb is great, I highly recommend it. I’m naming all my followers after BG3 characters. smile
    This site desperately needs a separation between legitimate and illegitimate completion times!

    The story of my gaming life.

    Unrelated, but for as big a fan as I am of the Metal Gear franchise, I've never been able to get into Peace Walker. To any Snake experts out there, is it worth the achievement grind? Asking for a friend here.
    Nope. Vital part of the story for the Metal Gear experience, but that gameplay though.... Best thing is just watch a longform YouTube video essay on it. I recommend Gingy.

    Wish Turok 3 would go on sale for less than $21. Thats way too much for a remake when the other 2 games are so much cheaper.

    I will admit: that game's not worth the full price of admission.

    Slightly unrelated: Microsoft, can we get back compat on the 2008 Turok? I know it won't happen, but a man can dream, right?

    I wonder when Desperados 3 and Dirty Rally 2 Windows editions will finally go on sale. I keep checking each week for years and no joy
    Buying:Physical discs leads to profits, Digital games leads to bankruptcy. I will not support digital fully until we can trade digital games

    Which is weird too Because Turok 2 IMO is the one thats actually still worth $20.

    I adore that game. Unfortunately the Switch version is buggy as heck. Gosh I love that game.

    I actually had that last week, it took a whole day to clear up. I looked for a Store app update but there didn’t appear to be one so I don’t think that was the issue.

    To many games to play, only bought Stray (the cat game).

    The other ones ( Cyberbunk and Avatar Frontiers of Pandora) are to expensive. If Avatar or Cyberpunk was 25 EUR i would buy it
    This website rocks .

    Oof. I want to play more, but I hesitate at the same time.

    Submerged: Hidden Depths is on sale again for $2.99 for anyone who still hasn’t played it (it’s the sequel but you don’t have to have played the original to enjoy it). Truly one of the best games for just wandering around a relatively peaceful apocalypse and chilling. Easy 1000 GS too.

    It's such a troll, it's like all the prime players are RIGHT there in the formative Big Boss story but then you have to go and play as some randy after you just got done having to set up your mess hall so you can feed the troops. I know a lot of people love this game but it's 1000% not what I was looking for after MGS3.

    I once thought that Xenosaga was the most pretentious game series ever made. Then I was proven wrong. Seriously Monolith, let's see a remake of that jam. I promise that it will sell.

    Nothing I did seemed to affect it (or at least not immediately so). I did a full shut down and restart (not a quick start) which didn’t seem to have any immediate effect, but maybe contributed to it clearing up overnight.

    It’s happening again this week with Movies and Games with Core, not sure what to do other than a full restart again and checking for a Store app update (there wasn’t one last week).
