GAF is definitely not a happy place these days. It always had a bit of a "stfu" edge to it, which I enjoyed and appreciated as opposed to the toxic positivity you got at ERA. But over the last 6 months it's gotten noticeably bad at GAF, I drop in at most once a week for just a few minutes to see if there's any good updates. And these days there usually aren't.
Finished Baldur's Gate 3 this weekend. First time in years I've made it through a game, let alone one with 100 hour completion time. It's a flawed game, but it does so many things right with such an absurd volume of content that it's hard to complain much, even with the convoluted ending. It really took the available disk space in modern games to less be wildly wasteful, but rather, have endless recorded dialogue, characters, and quests (close to 2 million words of dialogue and 174 hours of dialogue scenes, close to 2000 characters).
I'm expecting to go back through for another run, but first I've started on Dragon Age: Veilguard. I haven't played the previous games. For a long time Dragon Age and Dragon's Dogma were the same thing in my head. It's an adjustment from BG3. It definitely has a bit of EA feel that I was happy did not exist in BG3 and was probably some of its charm. But it's got style and personality. Combat feels really clunky at times, but occasionally is very satisfying. Still early, so I'll have to see where it goes.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile
I’m still just using the internal SSD for my XSX and PS5. Regularly delete and install games for them. Thank god I got really fast internet so downloads don’t take long at all, relatively speaking. Installing a game from disk takes much longer funnily enough.
Yeah, Rayman's the only one I would care for myself, and more specifically the more recent 2D ones.
That's pretty much my opinion as well. I liked Origins and Legends, but wasn't a giant fan of the games before that. And aside from Rayman, maybe de blob? Honestly, the two games we got were probably all the series needed though.

Rayman 2 on Dreamcast is my favorite with Rayman Origins a close second.

The pacing is so inconsistent and you're constantly being interrupted by long cutscenes.
The AI isn't that fun as they tend to just dog pile on your location. Instead of moving around the level taking out groups, I just have no choice but to stand at a doorway and blast them as they mindlessly pop up.
Then the rest of the level is this weird empty location, as I killed them all already.
EG has a preview up for the new MonHun Wilds. Sounds like it's noticably easier (again). Ewwww...
Also, I give it 5 minutes after release before we start seeing 'Gemma the Blacksmith' Hentai. It's like the character was created for this reason only.
Some games with best ever savings. I'm going to get Doom Eternal deluxe edition. And something else I can't decide on yet.
It's like they've given up at any pretense of civility and just trash themselves, other posters and really anything.
Homophobic, racist, misogynistic.
Still repeating old droll system wars crap.
Doom Eternal deluxe which comes with the Ancient God's DLC is 32gb.
I've had to archive so many more games then I planned to despite having over a terabyte of sd cards.
How do you manage games on your PS5 or Xbox Series consoles?
Do games have to be installed?
Do you have to delete digital games for new ones?

I have all of my PS4 games installed on a 2TB USB 3.0 SSD and I added an internal 1TB M.2 SSD for PS5 games

Now I have to swap sd cards to go between Eternal and other games.
I'll have to fire up the Satuyrn and have a look, good reason to see if it still works!
You liked Flower and Flow, so it would make sense you like Nights.
Seems fun too but the new UI and menu system looks hideous like it was made in the 90s by a teenager.
Where was the Slayer warped to at the end of the first game? And how did he suddenly appear on a spaceship above earth? Is it all explained in game?
Question: what Ubisoft games/franchises would you like to continue if the company is sold off and split up?

I preferred the old 3d raymans.
I find it such a weird FPS.
