It's all about sabacc, sneaking and slicing this weekend in the very atmospheric Star Wars Outlaws. Loving it so far.

@Ravix Agreed on the slicing being easy. I was expecting early level KCD lockpicking the way that people were mentioning its difficulty.

If it's a new game that I've been looking forward to then I don't mind paying full price but most of the time I will wait until deep discounts or pick games up on PS Plus/Game Pass.

I've put a couple of hours in and I'm enjoying my time with it. Crawling through vents and slicing locks like a proper rogue thief.

I've put in a couple of hours so far and gameplay wise, I'd say it was a mix of Uncharted with a bit of Red Dead. Kay Vess seems pretty cool, like a female Nathan Drake. What I'm loving the most is just walking seamlessly through streets into busy atmospheric bars filled with all sorts of alien species from the Star Wars universe. I think that the game's looks and audio are fantastic.

@Ravix Yeah, will do.
Love that Henry profile pic.

I bought this today and have it pre-downloaded and ready to get stuck in at midnight. I like Ubisoft games and I like (non Disney) Star Wars so this was a guaranteed buy for me no matter the reviews.

Two of my favourite ever games. Well up for more of 'em.

I'm currently downloading the base version ready for a little blast at 12 midnight. Can't wait.

I think that the video games that I play are better written, better acted and better edited than most modern TV series and movies.

💩

@CERBERUS40000 'Trending' culture in a nutshell.

Ubisoft comfort and fun to play are what I took from those review summaries. Sounds good to me.

The combat looks decent but that HUD is disgusting.

I used to have PlayStation sponsored shirts in the old PES games when you could create your own kits. Also Kinder eggs.

I'm back in Bohemia helping Henry get his revenge once again.

Jesus Christ be praised.

Should have stroked some Hobnobs.

Classic

This looks f**king brilliant!

I did the sensible thing and didn't watch it.

@Hyena_socks I'll have you know that Robocop's Clarence Boddicker is arguably one of the greatest villains of all time.

@Ravix Monk was the first class I played as in BG3. I love the vast movement and amount of actions you get in that role. Beating enemies to a pulp in single turns.

Jimmy lad.

I hate boss fights that go on for too long.

Like Luniz, I got 5 on it.

Baldur's Gate 3 and the return of the Prem ⚽️

This new Thunderbirds looks great!

I started playing P3 Reload but played P3P alongside it. I thought that Kotone's viewpoint felt better.

Lightning > Clive.

Can't wait to get cocky thinking I can take on two measly bandits only to get clobbered to death again.

I hope this equates to more than just 'magically spawning enemy waves until the cutscene'.

For me personally, I don't think they can top AC Odyssey. I absolutely loved it, not for being an Assassin's Creed game, but for the brilliant highs and lows adventures of Kassandra the misthios.

I hope it's windy and he says his line.

Charming my way out of situations with my charismatic Drow bard in the majestic Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm on my third playthrough and all of them have been on Explorer mode. I'm here for the characters and stories.

Having just finished DA Origins, this will seem frustrating in tougher encounters, especially if your Ai controlled companions are hopeless.

I do read the user reviews on the Xbox store to get an overall general idea of a game that I'm debating on buying, so it can work.

I'm currently playing this again as a Drow bard. The amount of race and class specific dialogue for them both is great. I love bullying goblins as a Drow.

@Ravix Aye. I've got a dog who sheds like mad so I'm dreading to see the amount of hair in there when I do open her up. The PS5 of course, not the dog.

I got a 'running hot' message on my PS5 whislt playing BG3 yesterday so I'll be playing in short bursts this weekend.

Where's Max? I don't see her anywhere in those screenshots.

I remember playing AC Valhalla with everything switched off on the HUD including the compass. It looked amazing but I was constantly in and out of the map button to get my bearings.

Can we have California Games instead.

I'm going to buy this on the day of release with my own money and I'm going to bloody well enjoy it.

All 3 Dragon Age games so far have had some great writing and fantastic squad banter (especially DA2) so I'm hoping that Veilguard continues that trend.
I only hope that they bring back the cinematic camera for conversations and not that zoomed out view when talking to npcs like in Inquisition/Andromeda.

There's only one Shirley Crabtree.

Trying to end the Blight in Ferelden.

Jesse Faden for president.

Totally agree. Having a voiced protagonist gives them a lot more character. It may give them fewer dialogue options but I personally prefer my (often) created characters to look and sound angry/sympathetic/witty rather than being a mute just flicking through more text responses in a menu.

I'd take the soul survivor from Fallout 4 over the courier from Fallout New Vegas any day.

I really hope that the next Dragon Quest and Persona games feature a voiced protagonist.

I played a durge in my last playthrough but I couldn't keep it up. I felt bad enough after murdering that lovely bard, Alfira.

Exactly the same routine only warmer weather and colder beers.
