    Not sure if it belongs here, but recently had some fun setting up my own WoW Wrath of the Lich King based server with bots on it. Played around with it a bit and it works surprisingly well. Some friends also wanted to join for some nostalgia 😄

    Other than that dusted off HOTAS to get some time flying around in X4 to test the new patch they released which brought some big changes to the flight model.

    I’m playing Silent Hill f:

    spoiler

    I just got out of Hinako’s house after fighting her parents.

    The story is not bad and the graphics are beautiful, clean and the game runs smooth except some of the infamous traversal stutter. This is a breath of fresh air after Alan Wake 2’s terrible performance.

    Still not sure why they called it Silent Hill if apparently you don’t spend a single second in the town of Silent hill… Well yes, I know why, they used the name to sell more copies.

    I was also playing Arctic Awakening but my game bugged out during chapter 4 and the option to restart the scene takes me too far back (at least an hour) for me to want to go back right now. A shame because it’s a nice walking simulator with very light survival mechanics and a nice scifi story.

    Playing Witcher 3 lately for the first time. Coming from already playing games like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and modern God of War games, it’s interesting to see how Witcher 3 retains its original flavour and yet its formula has been taken into various extremes by other games. I love the realism and interesting story lines of KCD, and the mindless addictive loop of AC Odyssey full of fantastical myths and moral choices, and the emotional depth of God of War. Overall I weirdly feel KCD took the best lessons and created something really unique.

    I don’t know if it’s fair to compare these games like this, but yeah, I get these comparisons in my mind.

    Speaking of Witcher 3, it took me three tries to actually get into it, the game is quite a lot when you start it, especially not having played first two. But once I did, it was really fun. I was torn at every moral choice, and a bit burnt out eventually. I don’t love difficult choices with consequences in games as in real life, but it’s good to confront that anyway. A lot of the quests are memorable for that reason.

    Overall, enjoying it a lot. I’m sure people in 2015 must have their minds blown by this game back then.
