It's dressed up as open world but the open world exploration is simply dull, if you just play the story and mix in the side missions it's pretty much a shooter. Play it like that and it's a good game with a very good story.
Plodding through Starfield still, bang average game. Looking forward to the Bioshock trilogy though I'll start that soon.
Yeah, pretty much how I ended up treating it in the end. When it comes to the open world, the city just never jived with me, felt all samey. Nothing at all to do. Compare that to Witcher 3 which had tons of stuff to do, you could head to a brothel and have sex or just have a fist fight, hunt down a demon. It felt endless.
Wreckfest 2 announced today, didn't think it was ever gonna happen. One of the 2 games I'll pay full price on release day 1 for. (gta VI is the other, obviously)
Was bored again with Starfield so added the Fallout London to my Fallout game ready to play and then started Bioshock, it's been remastered and it's superb.
Gonna buy the metal gear solid trilogy soon and crack on with that I think. First one on PS1 was absolutely epic and up there with the best ever made imo. Way ahead of its time.
I didn't like 3 at first due to how different it was but it definitely grew on me and the hunting aspects gave it a different dimension. 2 was pretty good (best storyline imo) but I remember how fuming I was at the time that you played with Raiden for the majority instead of Snake. Think the developers were shocked by the backlash of it as they didn't make that mistake again 1 was just epic in so many ways. Obviously nostalgia plays a part as I was still really young then but I remember being utterly amazed when I realised to beat the psychic boss you had to plug your controller into port 2. Ahead of its time as I say. **** it I was still umming and ahhing about this but thinking through it in detail has made me take the plunge and order it.
yeah, nostalgia is great. I ummed and ahhed over buying the gta3 vice city & San andreas pack every time I saw it on offer, you buying it tipped the balance, has been great fun playing, and worth it for the sound tracks alone.
Finally got round to this today and turns out it's only available on latest console so that's that idea in the ****ter.
Added loads of mods to Starfield in order to make it an interesting game. Took an hour to build the Millennium Falcon to fly around in but it's worth it. I like the base and home building aspects as well now that the mods have sorted that. Bethesda were simply lazy though it's as if they knew it was a bit crap and that the mods will sort it out.
Also bought Borderlands 3 as it was £7 played 1&2 and they were fun so thought I might as well. Stacked with decent games now should get me through to GTA.
Just finished Elden Ring. Fair play, it was pretty awesome. Would say first though that I almost stopped after 7-10 hours when I was struggling to get anywhere with the game. I don't mind hard difficulty but the systems seemingly went out of their way to not explain themselves. It's all very good people saying the point is that you have to work it all out but I don't buy that, I'd not played the Souls games preiously and made a point of going in blind. Turns out that if I had played the Souls games in advance it would have helped with a lot of the basic stuff the game just seemed to take for granted you'd know. I think that's bad game design to be honest. Once I got beyond that the game was amazing. I hit two brick walls, one was Melikith (who I gave up on, went away to lvl and gear and came back to) and Melania (who I actually found not as hard as Melikith but I was far more leveled and equipped by then. I didn't look up any guides until that first brick wall and then following that I just looked everything up to be honest.
I couldn't beat the guy on the horse at the beginning, tried for ages to level up and keep going but it became repetitive and boring. I don't like hard games though I play to chill.
That guy is a ****er though. I skipped him until I'd already cleared a bunch of the area - once you get your own horse, can summon stuff and have a few more uses of your health flask (all things that happen in the first 2-3 horus after you first meet that guy really) he's still tricky but doable. I generally don't like repetitive/tricky games either to be honest, for similar reasons. This was kind of an exception for me. Plus if you own the game and otherwise aren't going to play it then just mod an easy mode onto it so you get the chance to at least play through it for the experience. It's still bloody confusing but the spectacle of it is a definite "best game I played this year" vibe. Granted, it's not going to beat Fallout: New Vegas or Morrowind for my best games I've played for the first time this year overall.
We’ve just got a PS5 at home. My little un likes Genshin Impact, Sims, Subnautica. And I’m playing RDR2. But they are all old PS4 games Had a look at some YouTube vids for the best PS5 games. But none of them really jump out at me tbh maybe elden ring and ghost of Tsushima maybe ? I don’t know. Most of them kind of look the same, shooting, slashing monsters or aliens Hit me up lads. What are the best ones to get ? I love GTA and RDR2 (obvs) and generally open world games are my fave
