Recently I have played Prison Architect on xbox one. So fun relaxing game.

Horizon Burning Shores, this DLC ended with me murdering Elon Musk in the belly of a robot squid and it allows you to kill Musk fanboys recreationally so I give it 10/10 IGN (the DLC is actually really good, not perfect but solid). Still have the side activities to mop up now.

There was review bombing going on about it. I try to stay spoiler free as I endure the time until the PC port of Forbidden West. So I had to scroll past some stuff. But when I read in one of the reviews that the DLC contains a lesbian character, I knew what the complaining is about. 
Looking forward to that game. I loved the first.

Big oof on that one 
There are rumors that Amazon might own the IP now…

Prison Architect is great, I’ve gotten all the achievements in the xbox and steam versions. I generally prefer a keyboard and mouse for it but the xbox version has an amazing escape mode compared to the pc version. I definitely recommend it

There’s a difference in modes between platforms?
So would the PS4/5 version have a “better” escape mode too?
I would have thought that PC and Consoles would have the same content by now for this old game, or at least PC being ahead given it came first.

PS also has it, yep. Console mode was made with the help of a different studio (double eleven) who I assume got given a chance to put some unique features in there.

I’m 10 hours if not more into GTA IV. Tomorrow I had to wake up early to hit the gym but I said f*** it… I am going to pass the whole night with whisky and cola playing this masterpiece.
On every GTA I tend to listen almost only to the talk shows because they are so funny but on this one everything is on a whole new level that I understand why they won’t remaster it in these sensitive times
I love this game so much

I finished Metroid Prime Remastered. Great game, astonishing how well the formula suits first person. Not perfect, I don’t think the game is a great shooter, which can be an issue in a couple of areas where the game decides to focus on combat.
Hopefully we’ll see Prime 2 and 3 remastered. The rumors oddly have been that Nintendo would port 2 and 3, but not remaster them, which seems like an odd decision, even more now that Prime 1 has sold very well. Guess we’ll see.
New Zelda is out on Friday. Think I may pick it up. I didn’t love Breath of the Wild but still enjoyed it, just with lots of little things dragging it down for me. It’s either this or Advance Wars or Fire Emblem Engage, but it would be nice to be part of the hype for a change.

I made it to the Lab in RE2R.
I was partially following a map guide that mistakenly only mentioned “Leon” for the Sewers when showing the differences between maps of the two characters. It made me think that Claire didn’t have a sewer section of her own which felt nice… but I was led astray.
There was a whole dark creepy sewer section of running around, ugh, I hated it.
the Birkin crane fight was also stupidly tough.
I don’t know what I did in my 1st run but I managed to get him with the crane in one go.
However, this time, even after expending some decent ammo into him, the crane needed a second go to finish the battle… And the problem is, I kept getting hit by the crane myself every 2nd time I activated it.
“When using the crane, don’t get caught in your own trap!” dumb stupid loading screen tip burned into my brain uuuuugh.
I did it though, eventually. Swing the crane twice and didn’t get hit by it.
And now I’m in the spooky dark lab. I’ve noticed I’m using much more of my ammo against enemies. Maybe too much but there’s usually some type of ammo nearby in each section of a map.

Birkin 2, or Birkin crane is an unnecessarily confusing fight if you don’t know what the deal is.
The thing is Birkin 2 has damage tresholds that determine how many crane hits it takes before he goes down for good.
Give him no damage at all and he goes down in three crane hits.
Hit him enough so he downs one time, two crane hits
Down him two times or more, one crane hit.

The birkin fights are awesome, love all of them, except maybe the very first one.

I think bossfights are a surprising strength of re2make. Theyre good resource drains on the first run. But when you learn them they can be excellent challenges and overall fun.
Even the first birkin fight which is both faster and more resource efficient to do knife only!

I just finished replaying Control for the first time and this game has one of the most absurd bad endings
It feels like the game ends in a sudden.
Faden finds out about the Hedron and immidiately senses that Polaris is trapped in there, she goes in and gets ambushed by the Hiss, when she defeats the Hiss enemies and fully releases Polaris, it abandons her in a sudden and the Hiss takes over her, Game Ends
tf is this ending lol

??? But… that’s not really the ending???
I’d say the actual ending is a little abrupt, it doesn’t end on any traditional “big final boss” to unload bullets into. But apart from that it ends in an expected open-book cryptic way.

I’m in the boat where while the game ends abruptly the DLC’s wrap up the remaining plot threads necessary and leads into Alan Wake 2.
Control imo is always better the second time around.

Agreed, I deleted a section of my comment where I mentioned this for some reason 
The Foundation delves deeper into the origins of the House, and the Alan Wake DLC ends with a cutscene that teases future FBC operations.
It is a little bit of a shame that the “clean up” of the House to lift the lockdown technically happens off-screen, but I guess part of the blame is on the open-structured gameplay to let you finish up any side-missions post-game.

That’s Resident Evil 2 Remake done with! Oof, wow, what a scare-fest.
I was prepared for a few sequences this time around – as they vaguely came back to me, and as I read-through a walkthrough of what items to expect ahead – but it was still scary AF.
I got very risky with my ammo near the end, as I started to see my powerful Grenade Launcher ammo deplete. But I made it through.
Would have been cool to have the 2nd Run be a parrallel to the main sequence, instead it’s just an alternate telling of the Escape from Raccoon City (With Leon/Claire parallel journey happening off-screen)
Pretty sure the future entries get more action-based instead of horror, so it might get easier to get into those.
Though now I’m interested in going through RE7 again, and that’s a clear return to horror sooo… 
we’ll see if I have the strength for that.
