Probably Sekiro and Metaphor Refantazio, though I'm a bit over From Software style games at the moment.

I finished a rerun of Dragon Age 2 which I love (ppl rate it the worst - not meee) and jumped on to Dragon Age Origins, which I have never finished and I'm struggling... Just not my bag.

Doesn't help that its the PS3 port, with a UI not designed for a controller (the sequels were much better in this regard) but yeah... not sure if I care enough to complete it :/ At least it doesnt have busywork.

Anyone else about ready to give up on the internet? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Get off gen social. Contribute what you can and help to build niche communities that interest you.

Personally always found ME1 a little rough around the edges still enjoyed it and the plot was great. Andromeda was a swing and a miss.

Subscriptions suck. Have always sucked.

I note one of the recommendations from the article is still drumroll subscription based while the other one is a one time purchase.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Review and Retrospective- Is It Worth It In 2025? in c/games@lemmy.world

The OG Xcom and Terror from the Deep are the classics. The new 20XX ones are fine, if streamlined additions Haven't felt any need to revisit apocalypse though.

This is what I love to see niche instances that specialise in an area rather than trying to be another generalist / reddit. At this stage you’ll prob need to fight discoverability issues. Cheering for ya.

New Opeth and the use of harsh vocals (sopuli.xyz)
 

I havent really had a chance to hear the new album but the first thing that registered were the use of the harsh vocals. (Note, havent heard in cauda much).

This Sputnik Review which contained the following:

  • He (Åkerfeldt) talks about it cynically in interviews, saying that it feels like the growls are all anybody ever cared about in the band’s music. And it seems like this is a little bit true, at least for some fans; for a lot of people, the first reaction to hearing “Paragraph 1” was to proclaim that Opeth is “finally back,.*

I dont know what reviews were referenced, but if true, just curious as to whether prog listeners agree that it was always about the growls... Lets face it metal fans can be heavily OTT with change.

All your content are belongs to us.. sorry what they mean is "We’re always experimenting with different ways to connect our users with high-quality and helpful information. "

Quite funny how all recipe posts have (frustratingly) a ton of content before you get to the recipe I assume to assist with ranking on their search and then Google just lifts the good stuff.

I wonder what the site gets as part of the agreement.
