@Bentleyma likes Gollum. I can definitely put this person on ignore then...
@KilloWertz Next they will be saying Skull Island: Rise of Kong was their game of the year…
@KilloWertz @JohnnyShoulder In my defense I got it for £5! Maybe if I'd paid full price for it then I'd be less forgiving of it's flaws.
I'm playing Skyrim for the first time ever
So, I didn't finish P3R, I downloaded FO76 first instead and then went off and played that for most of my time. A couple of things about FO76: 1) It feels dangerous in the wilderness just like it felt with the other First Person games, 2) The feeling of danger wore off very quickly, 3) I remembered how much I HATED all the item organizing and over-encumbrance there is in these games, 4) I Miss VATS, 5) Pop in, 6) What is up with the Caps economy, I can sell a whole gun to a vendor for less than it cost to buy one bullet, SHEESH, where are all the fricken Caps in this game. Anyway, Uninstalled.
@lotan666 How you liking it? It's still one of my favourite games, but I'm interested to know what someone playing it for the first time now thinks of it.
Started the spectacularly average «Rise of the Ronin» — a game that I feel like I've played a better version of before — at the weekend. Another Sony exclusive that just isn't floating my boat at all. I might try and chip it in against «Dragon's Dogma 2» later in the week if the situation doesn't very swiftly improve.

@lotan666 See you in 6 months.
@LN78 I know this isn’t what you want to hear but it’s a game that really does improve the more you play. The stances are gated behind quests and certain npc’s so it takes a while for things to flourish. That said, if you’re not all in on the combat, there’s not a whole lot left to carry the experience. If you can push through, there’s a really fun game there.
@Jimmer-jammer I've read a few reviews that said much the same thing. I'm very much a fan of the Team Ninja combat so I'm willing to put a few more hours in over the next couple of evenings. As I said, it just feels like I've seen pretty much every aspect of this game done better elsewhere. Maybe I'm looking for a USP that just isn't there?

@LN78 From a distance, I can’t say it ever really rises above average. It attempts a lot of things and does so adequately (outside of the messy narrative) but once I got into the swing of things, everything came together to provide the aspect that most average games peter out on: consistent fun factor. It took a while but at some point I just realized that, despite its shortcomings, I was having more fun running around in this world than I do in most open world games of this ilk, and I’m still not entirely sure why
Welp, review time.
Well that’s about 30 minutes into Fallout New Vegas and already my first hard reset… doesn’t bode well
Every month brings new games to the Xbox Game Pass service, with the regularly changing roster in Microsoft's subscription offering plenty of titles for different types of players to enjoy. These can be titles from long-running franchises, indie gems, or titles from Microsoft's first-party studios which are added at no extra cost upon their launch, making Game Pass one of the better deals in gaming.
@sorteddan Great stuff, nice to find a surprise hit.
The Pedestrian I normally don't have the patience (or mental ability) for puzzle games as I tend to give up when frustrated but I've been enjoying this one, albeit in small sessions. I like the way it doesn't really explain anything but still remains quite simple to grasp the new mechanics introduced in different areas. I also like how solving fairly simple puzzles makes me feel like a genius! Its quite a pleasant change of pace for me at the moment.

There's a big, new, shiny PS5 exclusive on the scene, and we expect it'll be a popular pick this weekend. Yes, Stellar Blade is here, and it's well worth checking out if you're in the mood for some good old-fashioned monster-murking action. There's lots of other stuff to play, though, as our team shows with an eclectic mix of PS5 and PS4 titles.
@BearsEatBeets Christ, I didn't think Lewis going to Ferrari surprise story could be topped this year but...
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
