The 2020 what are we playing thread

Finally!

My character

Some impressions of the neighbourhood

Do you know the site @CanYouPetTheDog ? They report all sorts of animals you can pet in video games.

I found a hairless cat you can pet in this one!

After a lot of driving around and talking to people I got into some shooting and brawling too as well as stealthing and hacking (where you scan your surroundings for stuff to manipulate and select how, which I´m sure will be fun later). But I´m still in the tutorial stage. Looks nice so far though. Could still need fixes performance wise though. It´st still very early.

“Brain Wash” :joy:

From all those screenshots, I’m most drawn to the image on the rotating billboard with the rappelling (abseiling) woman sporting an 80s adventure cap. Is it a game? A movie? An ad for blue sport clothing?

I am currently playing the sega megadrive game Shining Force (on the Switch so I can cheat and rewind when needed and save midway through battles) and Sam & Max 201

Mega Man is much better that way. :wink: I have a collection of the first 6 or so for PC.

On topic, the past two weeks I’ve been playing Desperados III. Great game.

I have that collection for the PS4. The review feature was very useful on the Yellow Devil and so on. :sweat_smile:

One would guess levitation sandals are an actual thing by 2077. Nothing to see here … :slight_smile:.

And on topic: as Haven stubbornly refuses to run on Wine (the demo worked flawlessly), I’m back to Crusader Kings III. That one is still full of surprises. For some unknown reason I wound up as first in line to inherit the Holy Roman Empire, with a 95% chance to murder the current emperor.

Let’s just say I failed that particular test of character … :wink:.

We Hollanders (in the real meaning, not the incorrect Belgian meaning) are still sad about Floris V, Count of Holland - Wikipedia

He was elected as the next Holy Roman Emperor, but he was murdered before it could happen.

That article reads as if it would be right out of the game. They really must have digged through a lot of history books and distilled all that strife and intrigue into a relationship simulator (with a bit of a war game tacked on) that allows a pretty faithful reanaction of the medieval era at the nobility level.

Though I doubt there’s much historical evidence that the former Holy Roman Emperor subscribed to a nudist ideology :slight_smile:.

Check here for a brief impression of Japan Town at night!

You´re right and I´m guessing this is some sort of cybernetic enhancement too. :grin:

One of the funniest bits I should have captured on video was when a car suddenly got catapulted high into the air (backwards) possibly because it was in the way or something. There are flying cars in this future but that´s not what I was expecting! :grin:

I´m slowly getting near the end of the main story. But there is still so much more to see!

A heads up for @milanfahrnholz:

I warned you, mate!

Hehe, that´s funny, because there is a joke about pineapple and tuna pizza in a dialogue option at one point (which I didn´t try but now I think I should have.)

So, the download took longer than the actual game or what?

So would you say that’s the best game in 2020? (From your point of view.) :slight_smile:

I thought exactly the same! :joy:
