@colonelkilgore I do like variety as I get older (though as you suspected, haven’t quite hit 40 yet). I’ve been thinking of maybe giving Judgement a go as a toe-dip into the Yakuza universe without feeling overwhelmed by the saga. But then, I just purchased the recent Assassin’s Creed trilogy, so I feel like that’s probably enough of a toe-dip into a gigantic universe that I’ve yet to take the plunge on…hope you can get that plat!

i just got into overwatch some days ago & damn do i wish i would’ve gave it a chance in its prime , i love this game . let’s see how long it lasts before i’m burnt out - the game is already 6 years old now , i’m hoping overwatch 2 comes at least this year please . i don’t even care if it comes out on the last day of december , i just hope it’s this year
nonetheless its given me that gamer high i’ve been craving for a while now , i’m glad i finally found another (MP) game to enjoy again 😁
@colonelkilgore Good luck on your Yakuza journey. Like others, I fell off the franchise after Zero. I enjoyed it while I was playing it, but it was so long that I couldn’t make it to the end. Then when I looked at the fact I was only 1/7 of the way through Kiryu’s story… well, I just felt like I didn’t have the time or patience. 😅
But never say never. Maybe I’ll go back and at least finish Zero one day. I figure I was about halfway through.
But yeah, the games have just a boatload of content and side activities. Good deserted island games.

Perfectly put, as is pretty often the case with your observations bud. Yeah, having now played around a bit in the sandbox, I’d definitely make one of the Yakuza series a desert island game of mine. I’ve heard Zero and 5 have the most content so probably one of those.
Also, I’ve been loving your Demons Souls updates. Sounds like you had a little difficulty in 3-1… but I know you expected some of that going in, and hopefully the fun will far outweigh the frustration. There are some tougher stages (& bosses) to come but just concentrate on incremental progress.
Also, if you don’t have it yet, the Talisman of Beasts could be a big item for your build (you may already know this though).
@colonelkilgore Thanks, colonel. Incidentally, one of my other desert island games would be Bloodborne, and Demon’s Souls is right behind it as a possibility. There’s near infinite replayability for these games with the different builds and weapons one can utilize.
I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the Talisman of Beasts, for sure!
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution basically, it’s the one item in the game that allows you to cast both spells and miracles. All other catalysts and talismans only allow you to cast spells and miracles respectively. It doesn’t scale as high as the best catalyst or talisman… but does double your ‘armoury’.
@Bentleyma I’ve been really enjoying my time with Dirt 5 as well. I was thinking about buying this earlier in the year but then we got Wreckfest on PS+ so played that instead. Great to be able to have a look at this without paying anymore out for it though.
@Keith_Zissou yeah I’ve made solid progress on Yakuza Kiwami dude… basically completed all of the requirements apart from Karaoke and Mahjong (which judging from the little nibble I’ve had of each, I’ll find the most difficult). The various things I’ve had to learn and master (well… master is a strong word… but reach a certain level of proficiency at) the last two days is insane. Never been much of a gambler… but I’ve had a crash course in both western and eastern gamblings’ greatest hits (& quite enjoyed the process too).
Although I’ll need to do a Legendary difficulty playthrough, it’s more like an ng+ so I’ll be maxed out with all my top gear and stuff, so that shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just learning mahjong (which is a frikkin’ mystery) and learning the various button combos on Karaoke (easier said than done though).
@colonelkilgore Are rhythm games something you normally struggle with then? Like I said before, I found karaoke quite easy but those sorts of games don't normally cause me problems.
@Thrillho the only games involving a rhythm mechanic that I ever played were Guitar Hero and DJ Hero… I was ‘okay’ at them I guess but didn’t really play much of either. Tbh though, the issue I was having with the Karaoke mini game was pressing an incorrect button rather than at the correct time… also, during the little session I tried on it, I was finding that sometimes I was getting a ‘miss’ even though I pressed the button. I haven’t put much time into it yet though, so hopefully with a little more time and effort it’ll be fine. I’m gonna concentrate on mahjong first though.
@Jimmer-jammer … and I did find that the most difficult of the From Soft games in fairness, so yeah… maybe I just got no rhythm *insert rhythmless Steve Martin in The Jerk gif
After not enjoying it at first before changing the controls as I'm not sure why Gearbox thinks using the bumpers for aiming and shooting were a good idea, I'm having a good time with it after a few hours. I've never played a Borderlands game before, but I'm assuming the controls are the same. Again, not sure why, but at least you can change them to normal FPS controls.
I guess I'm an Ashly Burch fan since I'm playing this right after Horizon Zero Dawn. The whole cast does solid work, but she's great as Tiny Tina. You would have no idea it's the same person that voiced Aloy or Chloe Price, or even somebody in their 30's.

@colonelkilgore@Jimmer-jammer I returned to my second playthrough of Dark Souls Remastered this morning, I had previously been struggling with the invisible walkways in Crystal Cave, I made it to Seath, but loads of those clam monsters had gotten sucked into the fight with me, anyway, I got Seath down to a sliver of his health, got cursed and died. Did some farming in Undead Parish to buy a Purging Stone and then went back (with my Havel's gear on) to Crystal Cave, no clam monsters got sucked into the fight and I demolished Seath, it's great to be back in the saddle again!

I have a week off work, so I’m still making my way through Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. I’ve mostly been playing my Switch over the last few weeks, so it’s nice to get back to this. I want to finish it before Horizon Forbidden West is released.
