I’m undecided. I’d consider Dark Souls III, Elden Ring, and Sekiro to be my 3 favourite games ever and I have no idea what order I’d put them in. I love both the open world and linear worlds

No problem! If we’ve still got lots of activity for a few of these posts I’ll try weekly

If you’ve ever watched the YouTube channel OutsideXbox and their sister channel OutsideXtra, one of the hosts is a massive fan of the game and it picked up a bit of traction from there I believe. If you go to the steam reviews for it, at least one time it used to have a bunch of reviews saying “Ellen was right”, “Ellen brought me here”, etc.

I wasn’t aware Holiday Inn had a 4K release, I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. The movies I listed are just the ones I have on 4K, including DVDs and standard blu-ray I’m at about 100 right now which I know is still quite small, but my girlfriend, who I live with, has also been getting into physical media for movies, so I have a feeling the collection will start to grow pretty quickly

This is my first post on this community as I’ve only recently gotten really into collecting, so hopefully this post isn’t breaking any unwritten rules or anything. Also, the exact release date, from what I read online, seems to be November 5th 2024. It’s celebrating its 70th anniversary this year with the 4K release

I played it for a bit about a year after it first came out and thought it was fun but it didn’t grab me. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of sci-fi movies and have an itch to try cyberpunk again. I’m glad to hear it runs well, that gives me hope

I’ll try biweekly and see how it goes. If I get a lot of responses I’ll try weekly

I’m going as Joe/Manco/Blondie from the Dollars trilogy. My girlfriend was originally going to go as cowboy (cowgirl?) Barbie but that might be changing now

Oh man, Genichiro is one of my favourite fights. Have you figured out how to do a lightning reversal yet? It’s pretty important for the lightning phase, and the game does a pretty poor job at explaining it

Enjoy! I wish I could play it for the first time again. How far have you made it so far?

Is it your first time playing it? Sekiro is probably my favourite game of all time but it’s definitely not beginner-friendly. The steep learning curve is pretty intense but so worth it when it clicks!

I have so many games in my steam backlog at this point that I really need to get through, maybe I should try your method of setting time constraints. I usually just end up replaying the same few games over and over again, but maybe if I had a time constraint to worry about I’d get through my backlog finally

I don’t know rogue-lites too well, but I know Hollow Knight quite well, and I know Sekiro very, very well. Hollow Knight is the best 2D game I’ve ever played, and I think it’s worth at least checking out. The music, the art, the atmosphere, everything is really well done. For less than $10 it’s worth trying for 2 hours and if you don’t like it you can always refund it.

As for Sekiro, I think it’s got the best gameplay of any game ever. That being said, it has a very steep learning curve. Eventually the game will click, but until then it’ll be incredibly frustrating and very difficult. Once you get past that though it’ll feel amazing to play. Every one of my friends gave up on it before it clicked for them so there is definitely some risk but I truly believe if you push through until it clicks you’ll find it incredibly rewarding and satisfying to play.

Celeste is fantastic. One of the best 2D platformers games I’ve ever played

Strange, after reading your comment I get a very strong urge, almost need, to play that game. It’s almost like I don’t have a choice not to. Weird. Anyway, I’ll definitely play it soon

I actually had a really fun time with Starfield. It didn’t blow me away and suck me in for 1000+ hours but the 60-70 hours I spent on my first playthrough was a blast and I got immersed and really felt connected to the characters. Not to mention the ship building which I got from pretty obsessed with for a couple weeks

I appreciate it. Thank you!

Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 both could’ve made it for me too, but for the sake of the post I only wanted to do two games so other people could suggest some. I absolutely agree with your picks

I’m going to take over doing the monthly threads, the other mod hasn’t posted one in 3 months

Do you need to play the first two Witcher games to play the third one? I want to play the Witcher 3 but I can’t seem to get into the first one. I’ve got about 6-7 hours put into it on steam and I haven’t had any desire to come back since
