I almost bit too, but I just can't bring myself to by Ubisoft titles that require me to install Ubisoft launchers and shit on my PC.

Maybe I'll play it on Xbox one day.

I've been in a bit of a gaming rut, but I decided to download the PGA 2K25 First Look demo and while the graphics do look much better, it's the new swing stick that I enjoyed the most. I'll definitely grab this when it goes on sale.

I almost bit on Star Wars Outlaws for $35 last week, but my son convinced me to wait until it drops into the 20's.

I uninstalled it after about 3 hours.  It was completely bland to me.  And the combat just sucks.

Back to Rival Stars Racing.

28 hours into Avowed. Still have not been to the final area and completed the main story. In the three main areas of the map, at least 50% of the map has not been touched. They use a fog of war style map that only shows places you have traveled. I plan to fill it up as the world is a joy to explore. The only reason so much has been unexplored is my desire to level up my armor and weapons and you have to progress the story to go to new areas that have access to better gear and crafting materials. You can still level gear up in the early areas but it takes longer.

The most impressive thing is it has been mostly bug free. One side mission is bugged for me and sometimes a companion gets hit with a shock attack and will stay in that state constantly zapping you until you get into another fight or move to an area that has a loading screen or fast travel.

The minor complaints are the NPC's are pretty lifeless and the enemy types are pretty limited. Plus they only use half of the overworld map. They are planning DLC so I assume that is the reasoning.

PGA 2k25 put in the work with Unity. It looks alot better than 2k23. Love the new swing setup but starting at proam to get used to it. The one area EA does better is with the clouds, even though they are static and tied to time of day. Overcast in 2k25 still looks to dark and hard to play in.

Enjoying Avowed so far. Never played the old Pillars of Eternity games it is based on but the story is not an emphasis for me. It feels like an Elder Scrolls light game. Not a full open world and there is no romance or homes to fill with cheese wheels. The combat is fun and you can respec for a small price to play around with builds. Currently running a two hand blunderbuss type gun with a sword and board secondary when you deal with quicker mobs.

The world itself has a bit of depth with an early emphasis on parkour getting around certain areas. Plenty of chests to find in out of the way places. Apparently, enemies do not respawn so once you have been to an area there is little reason to go back.

Also, there are a lot of bears.

Quote from: BoomerSooner on February 17, 2025 @ 11:02 AMGoing to try Avowed on Gamepass tomm. Average reviews but I will play anything Obsidian tosses out there.

Caved and preordered PGA 2K25. Did not even mess with the demo. Just jumping in as I need a more challenging golf game.

I'm gonna try Avowed as well.  Other than that I've been playing Rival Stars Horse Racing on PC

I'll have to check out the demo, but I just bought 2K23 last month so I'm good on golf games for a while.
