After finishing the excellent Baldur's Gate 3, I've started a second playthrough of the excellent Baldur's Gate 3. This time I'm playing the more sinister side of the game as an oathbreaker paladin with a dark urge.
It's a great game with some very gruesome combat but I thought that it dragged on several hours more than it should have. Deffo worth a tenner, though.
@GuttyYZ I kept hearing about how act 3 was the weakest part of the game but I'm having a blast. There's tonnes of new quests to find and many to wrap up.
I really hope that there's a whole spooky episode based on The Descent chapter, where Abby and Lev creep through a run-down hotel. Probably be a two minute scene though to make more time for characters who have nothing much to do with the story.
Infinite Wealth, Dragon's Dogma 2 and Tomb Raider I - III Remastered are must buys for me. A lot of others I'll probably get in a sale sometime.
I've still got Alan Wake 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to pick up too.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 513
I'll be up to some old tricks with the gang in LaD Infinite Wealth and smiting foes as my oathbreaker paladin in Baldur's Gate 3.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
Yes I am. I just smiled when I saw all of the old gang having a few pints together. Ichiban is still very Ichiban. Love it.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Dates Its Grounded Documentary for 2nd February
@Hundred_Hand_Slap I had it spoiled for me by some twit on this very site but it still shocked me when I played that particular scene.

Karlach is all I need. That girl is boss.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Director Says Travel Isn't Boring, Your Game Is

Gamepass baby!!
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Removes New Game +, Puts It Behind a DLC Paywall
If Ichiban knew this, he'd storm Sega's offices and demand it to be in the base game.
I'm really looking forward to this but paying for new game plus can do one.

Corpo rats.
Re: The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered (PS5) - A Near Perfect Package for New and Returning Fans
It's a great game with some very gruesome combat but I thought that it dragged on several hours more than it should have. Deffo worth a tenner, though.
Re: Naoki Yoshida Thinks New Blood Is Needed to Direct Final Fantasy 17
Get Larian Studios on it. They'll make FF a proper RPG again.
Re: Suicide Squad Teases Major Post-Launch Support, 'Hundreds' of Build Combinations
You know what's worse than live service games? People who have no interest in live service games, moaning about live service games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 511
189 hours into Baldur's Gate 3. I've just fought a devil in his own hell whilst he sung his own battle theme music. Absolutely brilliant!

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Gets Another Massive Patch Out of Nowhere
God's be praised!
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Previews Are Far from Positive
Gotham Knights got slated but I enjoyed it so I'll probably enjoy this too whenever I play it.
Re: Kaitlyn Dever Will Play Abby in HBO's The Last of Us Season 2
I really hope that there's a whole spooky episode based on The Descent chapter, where Abby and Lev creep through a run-down hotel. Probably be a two minute scene though to make more time for characters who have nothing much to do with the story.

I always just say no to his deals like that Grange Hill song from yonks ago.
Re: Poll: Which Persona Game Has the Best Opening?
They're all pretty cool with funky funky beats but i've got a soft spot for P4G. It was one of the first games I played on my Vita.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
Just at the beginning of act 3 and about to enter Baldur's Gate. So far so bloody good.

Re: GTA 5's Michael Voice Actor a Big Fan of GTA 6 Protagonist: 'Lucia's Hard, Man'
It's all about the writing. A well written character can be a good character no matter what race or gender they are.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Gets 18 Minutes of New, 4K Character Class Gameplay on PS5
As soon as the cyclops appeared, one of the pawns was already beginning to cast a spell. Sign of a great pawn.

Ichiban, Arisen, Kay Vess and Lara Croft for me.

I buzz off the way in which a comment section can be mostly positive or negative depending on who the developer/publisher is in articles like this. The other week there were two articles about developers being hacked and most comments were a lot more sympathetic towards Insomniac compared to the Rockstar article where the majority of the comments sympathised with the actual hacker.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Developer of 2023
CD Projekt Red because I'm a Cybershill.
