@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
