Continuing my push for the platinum in Skyrim. It's a long but enjoyable adventure. Had to pause it last week in the glorious weather because my PS5 shutdown with overheat.
Whenever it's raining in Night City, I'm switching to auto drive, tuning in to Pacific Dreams radio and then just staring out of the window for maximum vibes.
I'm still playing Skyrim. Level 50 now and I'm yet to finish any of the factions or main quest. I'm walking everywhere and delving into every cave/tomb/ruin I come across. A timeless RPG.
I tried DA Veilguard and at first was really enjoying it, thinking that the ridicule was unjustified, but after another 15 hours or so I'd had enough. The combat was the same at every encounter and the dialogue was very out of place for the setting and often felt like listening to a bunch of 2025 teens conversing in a coffee shop.
Alan Wake 2. It's bats**t crazy but it looks absolutely gorgeous when playing.
Fired up the Xbox and saw that Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 EE and Metaphor: ReFantazio were on Game Pass so I've downloaded those.
Baldur's Gate 3. I've put another 89 hours into this run so far and looking back at my previous character saves, I've spent almost 500 hours total on this game. I think I like it.

Gotham Knights. I feel that the reviews for this game were a tad harsh. It's pretty decent with some great villain fight sequences.
Re: Rumour: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Coming to PS5 with Native Version

Re: Gran Turismo's Primary Console Competitor May Be No More
I always preferred Gran Turismo having grew up playing the whole series but Forza 2 & 3 were fantastic on the 360.
Re: Surprise Red Dead Online Content Update Brings Fresh Hope for PS5 Port

Velvet Crowe and gang please.

A timeless RPG.

I remember when I played it and took a real dislike to older Ellie and was actually rooting for Abby to smash her skull in.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2025 So Far?
My boy Henry of Skalitz and the Expedition 33 team get my nod.

Re: MIXTAPE Does Coming of Age Storytelling Justice with a Stacked PS5 Soundtrack
This is just the 1979 video by Smashing Pumpkins as a game and I'm well down for it.

Day one. I know for a fact that the most impressive thing about this game will be its written quests, characters and dialogue.
Re: Microtransactions Reach New Low in Call of Duty
Nothing beats an NPC turning up at your camp trying to sell you dlc in Dragon Age Origins.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 583
Nearing the end of yet another Baldur's Gate 3 run. I'm stumped on what to play after this though. Maybe Alan Wake 2?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 581
I'm just about to murder a Selûnite cleric because my evil blood wills it. This is in Baldur's Gate 3, by the way, I'm not a psychopathic lunatic.
Re: The Witcher 4's Awesome Reveal Trailer Wins Prestigious Art and Design Award
I always remember The Witcher 2's Assassin of King's trailer which is still excellent to this day.

It's a very decent game and it's got Garrus Vakarian in it.
