You know, I've made so many typos in that title above - wrong month,
wrong year - that starting one of these threads always fills me with
dread. Did I do it right this time? I check and re-check... and still sometimes get it wrong. Well, here's hoping that not only did I type
"June 2022"... but that it actually /is/ June 2022. I mean, you never
know...
But there's another reason this thread makes me nervous: here I am,
asking everybody what they have played over the last month, while the
dark secret I now grudgingly admit to is... I didn't really play
anything myself. Oh, I mucked about with a few games, but only as a dilettante, sticking with this game ten minutes or that one for
twenty.
I thought I might get all the way through "Inversion" - a rather
forgettable 2012 FPS with an unusual gravity mechanic and a marginally entertaining mid-game plot-twist - but the gameplay wasn't enough to
make me keep at it for more than an hour or two.
I briefly gave "The Looker" - mentioned in a previous thread - a peek,
just to see what it was all about, but it's too intent on imitating
"The Witness" (a game I didn't really enjoy) to make me want to play
it to completion.
Then there's my usual go-to games, "EuroTruck Simulator 2" and
"American Truck Simulator"; those got the usual amount of gameplay,
but I've talked about them so often that I've haven't anything new to
say.
Plus, "Solitaire" on the phone; a wonderful time-waster if there ever
was one. Plus the usual browsing through the old DOS game collection, rediscovering forgotten oddities. For example, "Total Eclipse", a 1989
fully 3D, smooth-scrolling first-person role-playing game that played
like a very primitive "Ultima Underworld". But none of them engaged me
for more than a few minutes so none of them make it onto my monthly
"play list."
So in the end, having flitted from one game to the next like the
world's pickiest butterfly, I ended up not having played any games at
all.
Well, it's a new month, so hopefully I'll do better in the coming 30
days. Meanwhile, all I have to say is this:

As I have already stated, my Steam Deck has been mutated to my almost
only gaming device. I was on a vacation with the family in June for 5
days and the deck was perfect for 12 hours train. In those 12 hours
and in the evenings I played Hades almost exclusively. The game is
highly addictive, I will not describe it, because most people in here
know it anyway. I could not get warm with the other games from that
Studio (which also got high praises) but I really love hades.
But after 20 hours or so I have given it up.. too time consuming too addictive and having to beat every boss again and again at every run, is basically a little bit off putting for me.
Outside of that mostly indie games, I picked up the first of the new
Leisure Suite Larries again. Funny point and click adventure game less
sex jokes than the old ones more lifestyle satire of our times (aka
making fun of Apple, Influencers, the Craft beer scene etc...), but
funny as hell.
I have started Outer Worlds, the latest Obsidian action rpg, not sure if
I will like it i have probably played too many games in this area
already. We will see for now the usual what you can expect you strand somewhere then you will have to go into the first town and there you get
your first missions. We will see how it fares.

What Have You Been Playing... IN JUNE 2022?
I'd love a description. I'd trust you (and most here) over anything IWell Hades is really nice, it basically is a rogue like action RPG with
read elsewhere. It looks like it could be up my alley. I'm a bit wary as $15 on sale for an indy rouge-like seems a bit high. I did play Transistor by them a little, but it didn't hold my interest long.

I managed to finally finish Cyberpunk 2077. Underwhelming ending. I'm
also not really a fan of cyberpunk but somehow the world is
fascinating. The same goes for post-apocalyptic worlds, especially
Fallout.

Cyberpunk was one of few games I was really looking forward to as it had
a setting that I enjoy more than the standard high fantasy one and
developer who knows what they are doing and I put in the one of the good
guys category. Fortunately I didn't purchase it on release before
reading some reviews. Oh dear doesn't sound good but heh this wouldn't
be the first game to be released before it was really ready. I have
tracked it since then and although I understand and lot of the problems
have been ironed out it doesn't sound like a game experience I'd enjoy.

Mentioning Fallout, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Fallout
London as I've never played a game in a setting that I'm familiar with
in real-life. Whether that's going to be a positive or I'm going to
spend my time thinking well that's not how it is, I don't know.

Sometime in 2023, from the minimal Wikipedia page. Long wait but a lot
sooner than Fallout 5, if that ever happens.

Nope, nor Elder Scrolls 6(?,) GTA 6, etc. Once they get a taste of that sweet
MMO money it's all over.

Elder Scrolls 6 has already been officially announced, and it will be >Bethesda's next game after Starfield (which you'll note isn't an MMO). >Fallout 5 is promised to come out after that. Neither game is coming
out any time soon however.

MMOs aren't really the big money makers they used to be. While I'm
sure the Elder Scrols Online is making decent money for Microsoft, it
not at all clear that it's been more profitable than Skyrim which had
sold over 30 million copies by 2017 while ESO only managed 18 million
by 2021. Currently during this big summer sale, two seperate editions
of Skyrim are outselling ESO, with ESO signficantly behind in the Global
Top Seller rankings.

Microsoft? Are they so greedy for gold farmers? I have to say I have no
idea what they're doing in games now that they own Bethesda and iD and
so many other studios. They haven't taken an axe to their smaller acquisitions that concern me at least. They haven't even renamed Github
to Microsoft Github. They did do that to my fave Android keyboard
though.
Anyways, I have a little hope these games (i.e. Elder Scrolls 6 and
Fallout 5) might happen due to an interview of Todd Howard on IGN
recently where he said as much. Interview's at https://www.ign.com/articles/todd-howard-bethesda-fallout-5-elder-scrolls-6-starfield
Basically what he said was that ES6 is in pre-production and would
follow Starfield which is slated for release in 2023. And Fallout 5
would be after that.
ES5 was released in 2011 and Fallout 4 in 2015. So if ES6 and FO5 are
four years apart, well, might not happen this decade. So yes, Fallout:
London is really needed. Can't have a decade without Fallout now can we?
