You get the little cats who are AI controlled in MHW, @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy. Can't remember exactly what they do as only played it for 20 or so hours a couple of years back, but i think they can buff and heal you?
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, the Palicoes in Monster Hunter World act as little AI companions if you’re playing solo.
As @JohnnyShoulder they can attack but also you can unlock different gear for them that have different effects. Later in the game you can also briefly recruit “wild” ones to help you too.
They’re not overpowered but act as a good distraction for monsters if you’re playing solo.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah the God Eater story makes Code Vein seem like Citizen Kane. Obviously the gameplay is better but oh man, I found myself skipping cutscenes after about 5 hours in 😂
Palico are useful cat companions in the Monster Hunter games. They can heal you and attack, depending on what type they are.
Monster Hunter Rise is even better for AI companions, as they also have Palamutes. They're doggies that attack the monster. Hunters can also ride on them, making it quick to get around. Plus you can drink potions or sharpen weapons while riding on them. And they're very good boys.
I'm generally a solo player with Monster Hunter, but it's probably more fun if you're playing with friends.
I really wouldn't mind a port of MH:Rise to PS4 as those palamute doggos look so SO useful for traversal... And adorable to boot!
And I actually quite liked pretty much all the story beats and characters in Code Vein too @nessisonett
The characters in GE aren't too bad or anything... and I appreciate it trying to have a more meaningful plot beyond "giant monsters slaughtering everything, you go murder them" but yeah... I don't blame you for skipping scenes (Which I wasn't actually aware you could do!)
Other then Alisa's PTSD moments that just end up coming across pretty narmy rather then serious @RogerRoger.
I'd say the voice acting's pretty competent for what it is and there's a lot of well established VA's here... They're unfortunately just working with a terrible script/plot.
Yuri Lowenthal for example is basically voicing a slightly more chatty and not as melodramatic Sasuke (at the moment at least) with his character "Soma"
I take it that the photo mode in Mass Effect is going to get a good workout with you huh?

Given the amount of times you'll hear someone like Yuri or Nolan North use the same voice despite them being rather talented ya have to wonder @RogerRoger if it's more to do with them being typecast and directed to use a similar voice as what they're known for...
I keep thinking of you whenever I use the Photo Mode, because it has a lens flare intensity slider. Its maximum setting is called "Foxy Level" in my head.
Oh Rog... I approve ha ha

If I recall correctly me and @Th3solution had an interesting chat about voice acting shortly after me getting to the end of Cyberpunk @RogerRoger.
It was in regards to it having quite a few voice actors who were in Persona 5 with us talking about the cliques there might be within that community and the likes.
Probably not your thing rog but the critcal role youtube channel is a great showcase of voice actors like Laura Bailey, Liam O'Brien, Matt Mercer, Ashely Johnson and others of them just playing a friendly game of D&D.
For Matt as the DM it really shows off his wide range of voices he can pull off and the acting chops of the group as a whole that you don't normally see through them voicing video game/anime/cartoon characters. Can get a little silly before it starts up properly but shows off they're just a bunch of pals doing what they like

Oh is Nolan North in Miles Morales @Thrillho? I thought the notable VA (Well one I recognise besides Yuri as Pete) in it was Troy Baker as the totally not a bad guy tech dude. Haven't played it myself (Not til I get a PS5) so I unfortunately have no clue! 😄
Only thing about Critical Role is they're 3-5 hour long streams @RogerRoger and there's over 300 or so episodes overall (From both campaigns) I think? It's one hell of an undertaking... 😅
If and when you give them a look probably best to start with the second campaign as the first starts with them having already played half of it offscreen, it has lower production values (The audio is pretty bad from what I recall) and they're not quite used to the format yet. Plus they have entirely different characters and a new setting too so you won't miss anything by skipping over.
I believe you can get it as a podcast too if you prefer instead of a video?
Started Last of Us Factions tonight, I figured now is as good a time as any to try and get the MP trophies before they (eventually) launch Last of Us 2 Factions. I’m not that big into MP anyway and this seems a little more deep/strategic than most. Still, think I started to get the drift by the end of the session.
Just gonna chip away at it with an hour here and an hour there for the next couple of months. Ideal world, I’ll get the Mp trophies out of the way and then try and plat TLoU before playing TLoU2 in November.
@Jimmer-jammer started Ashen this morning, lovely little game fair play. It’s obviously not as in depth and polished as Dark Souls etc but plays well and is beautiful to look at and listen to.
Tagging @TheBrandedSwordsman@Th3solution you guys too as TBS I know you love the Souls games and I figured you may well enjoy this the next time you’re hankering after some souls-like goodness... and Sol, I know you’re always on the verge of dipping your toe... this could be a great entry point back into the genre. I wouldn’t say it’s ‘particularly’ easier, shorter by all accounts but still poses a decent challenge. It is considerably more serene and chilled though, something I think is quite the opposite to the feel of the Souls games.
@colonelkilgore Thanks for the recommendation and I’ll keep it in mind. I have noticed the game on the storefronts and thought it looked compelling. Good to know it holds up, perhaps as a miniature Souls experience.
It’s ironic because I decided to continue on with Control and play the DLC, which is not usually my style. I typically don’t indulge in the expansion stuff and feel pressed to move on for most games. But I just can’t pull myself away from this game! But I did almost rage quit at the final boss for the AWE storyline. Oh man, did I get frustrated!
I’ll spoiler tag my method just in case you haven’t done that yet, not that it’s really a spoiler, mind. I can’t remember if you said you did the DLC or not. Finally beat him but I had to go and do a side quest to obtain the infinite ammo mod for the Grip and then it became pretty straightforward to just constantly pummel him so he couldn’t heal.
Anyways, my thoughts during the umteenth respawn to try to beat him was that I felt a little of that familiar feeling of banging my head against the wall of a Soulsborne boss. 😂 And it didn’t feel good! But yes, I did get a rush when he finally went down. Not sure I’m ready for the frustration, but I’ll see. My plan had been to use Demon’s Souls as the gateway back into it, but I’m waiting on a price drop. Looks like maybe Days of Play could offer that.

@Th3solution you remember correctly, I haven’t played the dlc... I will do though eventually. It’s just one of those ‘worlds’ where it it’s clicked with you, you want to know everything. I’d be interested to hear how you rate Control against the other games you’ve played lately. I think I put it in my top 5 games that I played last year.
Yeah, now I remember you saying that Demons Souls Remaster would probably be the next Souls-like you try out... can’t argue with that either tbh. I’ll be playing it later in the year myself as it goes.
@colonelkilgore yeah it has a more, I don’t know, hopeful vibe to it. I especially liked watching the town get built and filled out. There are one or two dungeons that I found comparable to a Souls game’s difficulty, and of course that final boss, but for the most part it is a lot easier than Dark Souls. The spear mechanic is really neat too! Glad you’re enjoying it!!
