    Street Fighter 6 is a lot of fun.   The “modern” control scheme finally allows someone like me to actually execute moves.  This is much more accessible than any fighting game I’ve played.


    I've put about 15 hours into the single player World Tour mode and it teaches the game well.   Have yet to play any online matches.

    Few new games and impressions (been quite a year)

    Street Fighter 6: The modern control system is a blessing for those of us not skilled at memorizing 20 button inputs to pull off a cool upper cut.  It works great and I think makes the game much more approachable for all players.  I usually get excited about fighting games, buy them, realize I suck and won’t be able to pull off moves, and stop playing them after a few hours … I easily have 20 hours into the single player mode.  Fun and great style … nice departure from the gore of Mortal Kombat

     

    Diablo 4: Seems fun so far.  Pulls me in better than Diablo 3 did.  Story, graphics and sound are great.  Surprised that it isn’t as easy to invite random players on missions.  I have a necromancer to level 30 and I’m experimenting with the skill system.

     

    Final Fantasy 16:  Plan on downloading the demo.

    Started FF16 on Saturday, but only put about five hours in instead of the 48 I was planning.  It's rather cinematic, and fun so far.

    Starfield is a week away!  Really looking forward to this one.

    I got Armored Core 6, not really sure what to expect but the developer FromSoftware has my respect, so I gave it a shot … it is really fun.  Hard to explain what type of game it is, but it is like a flight/combat/dogfight game with tons of customization.  Not as hard as a Dark Souls game, but there is an early tough boss (within the 1st hour) who is a SOB that will get you to rage levels (took me probably 20 tries).  Missions are fun to replay.

    Probably will try Baldur's Gate III when it goes on sale this fall or I catch up with my backlog.

    I nabbed the premium edition upgrade for the steelbook but will get the base game from GamePass.  I am also excited for Forza Motorsport in October.

    I know i mentioned this before but my friend is working on Starfield. He did some of the visual effects on it. I'm not much of a gamer (last console i got was SNES :lol: ) though.

    Any fellow Diablo degens in here? Lol
    I've been playing Diablo 4 non stop lol
    You still playing?  After I beat the main storyline, and got into the Nightmare World Tier, there is NOTHING to do!  The storyline was good IMO, but after that, man....talk about boring!  I hope they come up with some updates soon, because at this point I don't see much reason to play anymore.

    I want Starfield to be my next Witcher 3 or Skyrim. Trying not to jinx it, but my goodness it has potential! In a hilarious move by Xbox, they removed the 1$ game pass for one month option right before it comes out lol. I haven't been this excited about a game since Witcher 3.

    Here's the "live action" trailer. Friend saw it before it got released but couldn't say anything about it for obvious reasons.

    Played 2 hours of Starfield last night - this could potentially be a great game. Some of the gameplay mechanics are a little confusing, but like any new massive rpg game we'll get the hang of it. The shooting mechanics are good, no problems there. It def feels like a Bethesda game, and it reminds me of skyrim way more than fallout.

    Starfield is looking like a classic Bethesda game.  I’m going with a Stealth / Sniper build.  Went with the Cyber Runner background and used Alien DNA, Introvert, and Terra Firma as traits.  Only have a few hours in, but my initial thoughts are that this is the smoothest running Bethesda launch title ever (low bar to jump).
