I'm really enjoying Borderlands 4 since it came out last week.

I'm about 23 or so hours into it and currently sitting at level 21 or 22 I believe.

There's just so much to do in this game, just like there was in Borderlands 3, which I just recently completed.

Anyone else playing Borderlands 4, and if so, how are you enjoying it?

The image features a character from the video game "Borderlands 4." The character is depicted in a dynamic pose, with a muscular build and a mechanical helmet that has a blue "X" on the forehead and glowing red eyes. The helmet is metallic with visible screws and rivets, giving it a rugged appearance. The character is wearing a red outfit with mechanical elements, including a glove on the left hand and a chain attached to the right arm. The background is a solid red color, which contrasts with the character's attire and helmet. The title "BORDERLANDS 4" is prominently displayed in bold, yellow letters at the bottom left of the image.

There's nothing of interest to me that was announced/shown off at today's Nintendo Direct.

The DLC for Donkey Kong Bananza was the most exciting thing to be honest.

Finally managed to beat the first boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong this morning.

It was a fun but tough little fight. It took me about 15 - 18 tries I believe, as I died several times right before beating him, which was frustrating.

Anyone else playing the game, and if so, how are you enjoying it?

The image features a character from the game "Hollow Knight: Silksong." The character is a stylized, cartoonish figure with a large, white, horn-like head and two black eye sockets. It is wearing a flowing red cape and holding a long, silver sword. The background is dark and fiery, with swirling orange and red hues, suggesting a sense of danger or adventure. The character is positioned in the center of the image, with a dynamic pose that conveys action and readiness for battle. The text "HOLLOW KNIGHT SILKSONG SE2" is prominently displayed in the lower right corner, indicating the title of the game and its sequel.

Rather it's because it's a literal #OneTimePurchase #Arcade Board, cuz most modern #ArcadeSystems like #SEGA's #ALLS have extreme #DRM and "#RevenueSharing"-based #licensing for games and locked-down Hardware

• And that is also pissing off #Arcades because not all of them want to merely "rent" #Games and pay monthly #subscriptions + #royalties but hat a fixed price and the ability to just calculate down depreciation over years.

I playing the U-Hero: Rogue to Redemption.
And I like this game very much. Played first time just to see how it will go, and it was a total fiasco actually. I was able to complete only first big quest, and of course it was not enough to win the main contest.
I guess I will try to replay this game few times.
But I would like to see more games in U-Hero setting, e. g. as bard. (Instantly imagined me playing lute so bad that it would create a sphere of "psychical damage 2d6 / turn".

#UHero #games

And then the #UX is way worse in spite of decades of #innovation, #feedback and #improvements available to #developers, #publishers and #PlatformHolders...

I've yet to see a compelling reason to pick up an #8thGenConsole much less a #9thGenConsole as the pricing for #Consoles and #Games shoots up but there are fewer and fewer games worth the effort...

• Cuz even if we ignore the #UsedMarket out of fairness, there's not really anything that worth spending €500+ / $500+ on a console with controller and a game when the same game can be subjectively experienced better on a #PC that one is kinda forced to own anyway to a degree because our #online world necessitates us to do things like #eMail and most people won't stop #OnlineShopping, #OnlineBanking and all the other things even if they could feasibly choose to do so to begin with.

SO FECKING TRUE!

#Gaming changed because #Gamers changed and the #Expectations by #Consumers and #Stakeholders did so as well.

We ain't schoolkids anymore who can grind through #FarCry2 in a week after school nor do we play the same games (#FIFA & #Madden doesn't count!)

Add to that the #Greedflation kicking in and #Games just feel worse...

do you keep an inventory of your #games?

I like the idea of something like backloggery but I don't care for that info to be online and stuck in someone else's database. I also wouldn't want all the features.

sometimes I think about whipping up a spreadsheet.
