General gaming discussion

And those trick balls which would start with a low bounce then hit you high.

Dave The Diver coming to PlayStation on April, **** yes!!

Wtf new silent Hill game that's free to play that's available now??? Looks scary as **** as well.

My main thought watching that trailer last night was "How the hell are you meant to headshot enemies? That's b*tch's legs go all the way up to her legs!"

Even the hardcore Silent hill streamers are worried about that trailer. Combat looks awful, janky at best

Funny review of AC Mirage on Amazon

"I seem to buy these for my husband every Christmas and then it takes him til about the following Christmas to complete.

It’s a definite yes from me.. if you like that sort of thing, or simple just want ti keep the husband quiet for a bit whilst you do your own thing. 😅"

A reason to turn on my ps5 is thwarted by the fact I am played it to the death.

Just kidding its an incredible game and should absolutely be cross platform

Did you do the epilog with John Marston ?

I bought RDR1 (Xbox) after RDR2. It's 4K 30 on OneX/SeriesX. But never got around to play it much. And now the PS5 has a 60 FPS version of the game. So I'll probably play it there one day unless rockstar do same for Xbox.

I've not long started it, must stick it on here for a while. Enjoying it so far, looks great graphically.

I loved it as it gave me the expectation that Rockstar would redo the first one in the RDR2 engine. Boy was I disappointed when they released that low effort port. It should have been done like RDR2 and released as DLC. Should have learned my lesson with GTAV.

I don't think people really hated the game, just that it wasn't the GTA Wild West a lot of people incorrectly expected. And it's no doubt one of the finest games crafted, but it's not without its flaws, with the slow travel even after end game being a major one. Great if you love getting lost in the world, but not everyone does. I'm so thankful of the decent fast travel in Skyrim. If RDR2 had a lot more fast travel points, regardless of how immersion breaking it may be, I may have played a lot more of it after end game. And still no single player DLC, but that's expected at this stage tbh.

All these decisions are stopping me from getting on the GTA6 hype train. I know it's gonna be a great game, they do deliver when they try. But recent decisions on zero to low level re-release efforts, and strict concentration on online modes for the ADHD generation, when proper re-releases should be done by a company that big and with that much money... The money has ruined them. Hopefully the apparant failure of Suicide Squard will turn heads back towards strong single player content like Sonys first part studios are doing, and doing exceptionally well. I was never big into the "make your own fun" multiplayer/co-op recent games, give me a story to play out. The market is still there, but Rockstar are gone too greedy to care. GTA6 will be their launch platform for GTA Online 2.0.

I think there's a balance between being intentionally slow paced and keeping gameplay flowing, and I think they got that balance wrong in too many areas. There are so many needless systems, animations and just generally stuff that work against you for the sake of realism to the point where it becomes more of an annoyance than immersion. Stuff like when you're on a long horse ride (of which there are many due to the lack of fast travel), Arthur will randomly put large weapons like a rifle in his horse saddlebag, meaning if you get into a firefight or get off the horse and forget to take it with you, you don't have it. I don't want the character to unequip my favoured weapon due to realism. I don't care if he does the video game thing of having a whole arsenal of weaponry in his back pocket that he can access at any time.

Then you have cleaning your horse, feeding your horse, cleaning and feeding yourself for health, and for stamina, and for deadeye (all with a multitude of different inventory items which just clog up the inventory system). Weapon maintenance, camp upgrading, animal hunting, and so many animations for absolutely everything, like opening every press and searching every downed enemy.

It's all hugely, hugely impressive. But God it can also be so f*cking tedious at times.

A mighty fine house at that.

Liked the RDR2 epilogue, it was nice and relaxed after the big main Arthur ending.

Main memory is almost dying after going into the water the first time into epilogue to get an animal carcass as unlike Arthur you can't swim with John as he couldn't in RDR1.
