Defeated Lady Butterfly second time in my I'd say 2nd run of Sekiro after meeting Sword Saint and my data getting corrupted. Plus Divinity OS2.

@PuppetMaster Yeah Metaphor felt all too familiar to Persona, I was hoping for a more open world and freedom.

Yeah fans that were acting tough like they could fight fomo but caved in eventually. 😆

Xbox should've just gone with A, B, C, D. They just like to complicate things. Everybody knows it's PS1, PS2/3/4/5/6/7. But nooooo it's 360, One, OneX, Series S/X...sigh.

I guess base PS5 has been holding back the Pro all this time. 🙄

Atlus really have confidence in this. You'd think they've basically put half the game on YT but for a company that's so strict on spoilers that means there's a whole heap of content we ain't seen yet.

Looked really impressive though. That reminds me, I still have the Platinum pending at 80% or so.

Adventuring with Ifan Ben Mehzd, Red Prince, Sebille & Lohse in Divinity OS2, what a joy!

Played the heck out of this on 360. Was difficult but satisfying pulling the moves, we could call it a Skate Soulslike. 😁

Well because those people can't buy every single game out there and review themselves. People don't have that luxury of time and money to be testing "creative off the beaten path" games at £60, perhaps they would if games were £10. Sites get review copies for free to give people an idea "before you buy!" Thought this is general knowledge.

"tiny indie games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2"
😆😆

Nice of Dan quickly scooping them up.

5/10. How are we sure people aren't googling or chatting with AI for answers...

Back to Divinity OS2, still haven't completed it. Plus MH World Iceborne Rise Sunbreak as usual.

Won't be surprised, 4K60 for games like GTA6 would demand a lot more. IGN tagged this PS5 Pro as "A New, Expensive Way To Play PS4 Games". 😁

Xbox of all people hasn't even released a Series X Pro because they know they'd still have to cater for Series S. It's all a bit pointless with these midgen upgrades.

All that power and price, still multiplat devs are still going to consider Series S in overall development and just going to give you San Andreas at 4K60 for £700.

@jrt87 Exactly, I also found the worldwide acclaimed most difficult Malenia easy, but struggled against this fackin Consort. So yeah it all depends on your build.

Same same. Hunting & crafting in MH Rise Sunbreak & World Iceborne. Still looking for a Rathalos Mantle in Iceborne just for the pinkish Corona s&s tsk.

Isometric view sometimes has you raising your head, pushing down the right stick hoping to see what's above...sigh. Game looks good though.

Looking at all the videos on YT, feels like Atlus is doing their own full gameplay walkthrough and we don't need to buy the game 😆. But hey this is how confident RDR2 and ER were prior to release so...

More and more of the fantastic MH Rise Sunbreak. Just love the vivid, sharp, cartoony style graphics along with the obvious fantastic gear. Will probably jump a bit into World Iceborne as well, I feel like there's still monsters I haven't met even after 1500+hrs.

Maybe he's been sarcastic and indirectly telling the head honchos at Capcom that, they've allocated all resources to Monster Hunter he didn't think anybody cared about his dear old Dino Crisis.

Just repelled Wind Serpent Ibushi in Fashion Hunter Rise, a few more quests to start Sunbreak. Think it'll be mostly that this weekend, maybe a bit of TLOU2 3rd run.

Glad they're recognizing some people like games solo and implemented this from Sunbreak. Then again I think the palicoes, tailraiders and palamutes are companion enough, but it's great having the humans too.

Well it's okay that it's all there but there was an element of surprise when you started a new game with a different gender and saw the different armor sets.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner "95% of the time you don’t even notice your armour anyway."

C'mon what a blatant lie! A big part of MH is the wonderful armour.

@ShogunRok Yeah that's good so maybe it feels less lonely on hunts for some SP players.

At this point, don't think I need a trailer or gameplay vid to be sold on MH. It could have sweet cartoony graphics like RiseSunbreak or lean towards realism like WorldIceborne, there's still a lot of FUN to be had hunting and crafting lovely gear. Other devs underestimate the joy in hunting & crafting.

@breakneck I'm at 2000hrs+ for both WorldIceborne & RiseSunbreak strictly SINGLE PLAYER. Forget that played out MP rhetoric, still a lot of fun to be had in SP.

Trying a 2nd run of MAFIA DE. Still on MH Rise, some Iceborne probably. Plus, back on the GOAT - RDRII on my 4th run still. Aaaannd will probably return to Shadow of the Erdtree.

@colonelkilgore Funny how I bought GTAIV twice, 1 on PS3 1 on 360, but here I am, can't even get to play it anymore. Shocking we don't have a PS4 port at least yet, like RDR and people say R* care so much about money.

Yeah take your time and work on the immersion and give us a decent horse while you're at it. Torrent is fluid and more realistically animated than all your AC steeds combined, and that was FromSoftware's first attempt. As for RDR2, y'all won't even try and get to that level so forget it.

What if GTA6, MHWilds moves Xbox Series Ss instead...

Generations is done. Consoles are going PC. You're going to get the best experience on the latest hardware, after all consoles are releasing faster than games these days. Games are going to release on as much platforms as possible to make up for the rising cost in production. There aren't going to be much PS6 exclusives, most are going to release on base PS5 also.

@Logonogo @Colour Using Dual Blades or Sword/Shield makes for faster gameplay. Using that huge buster sword - my favorite - is slow, as it should in reality, you miss a lot of hits but when your attack lands...is so satisfying. That's the realism in the gameplay. Watch a monster's weakness - say Ice - craft a weapon with ice elements, and if the monster attacks with fire, craft gear with fire resistances. Things like that is just the tip of the iceberg, game is deep.

@Colour @Logonogo I used to be like y'all till it clicked, now I'm closing in on 2000hrs spent on World Iceborne Rise. Hunting and crafting wonderful gear is a joy. The mechanics are deep, it becomes enjoyable when you understand them. Keep trying, it's now one of my favorite franchises of all time!

Still on my MH World Iceborne Rise. If I had to add cumulatively I'd say I've crossed 1500hrs. Monster Hunter is just so good! Will be back in the Shadow of the Erdtree after that Consort made me pack my bags and leave.

@Flaming_Kaiser Elden Ring doesn't hold your hand yet it's so easy to traverse and navigate. From Software's first attempt at open world and they completely nailed it.

Well, you can't really tell unless you tried and failed. Who knew R* could make online fun with GTA4, in the days when it was all about Call of Duty 4 Modem Warfare. See how big GTA Online is now but hey there's only so much you can do in some post apocalyptic setting, you can't have brand new guns or cars or clothes being added every month to keep people engaged, yeah there's Fallout 76 maybe, but that's wacky so it's believable when they add any type of ridiculous content, TLOU on the other hand is serious business - realistic, you can't add just anything. So yeah Bungie may have been right.

Great game but quite awful open world gameplay. Guiding winds often had you treading away from the beaten path, you end up on a fackin cliff when the path to your destination is downwards. Enemies spawning at every junction. Can't even forward time like a true open world.

GOAT Goat for GOTY!

@jvecc It's the PS Store showing you its powers. They like to remove standard editions of some games and leave only the deluxe with a discount that isn't too great.

Still back on MH Rise, adding some World Iceborne too, what beauties! Monster Hunter deserves to be Capcom's best selling. So much content, can't get enough of the hunting and crafting loop.

Never played any Soulslike, play the original ones from From.

Always an eye roll when FromSoft protagonists are looking all silent and cold and tough then they let out this loud scream when they fall off a cliff. Like Yo I thought you couldn't speak.

People saying "asking about Wilds not being on Switch" is not out of touch. It is as out of touch as you can get, if investor bothered to watch 5 seconds of the trailer he'd know this will never work on Switch!

I've taken a break on this dude, it'll need time and a lot more leveling up so I'm back to the Lands Between to find Hoarah Loux, Radagon and co. Meantime, I'm back on MH Rise.

Interesting how consoles are now releasing faster than games. We don't even have a single new ND game out. And at this rate we can expect to have 2 consoles to 1 Rockstar game every gen.

It's just impressive when devs think about all the possible ways a player could go and make reactions to suit each situation. Rockstar are masters of this, like dropping off Trevor or whoever in GTAV and going back to see them walking somewhere and they react to your presence.

@Yousef- All I can remember is..."the gods have abandoned me..." Rrrruuuuaaahh destroy everything in sight! What an angry man. 😆

Think I'm on the last boss of Shadow of the Erdtree, this up there with the toughest bosses ever and yeah there's the incredible Bayle also to beat so I've just taken a step back and gone back to the Lands Between. We ignore the wickerman fire golems but they're also almost impossible.
It's been so much FromSoftware for me these past few months I've just had to return to Monster Hunter Rise for a change. Just another spectacular Monster Hunter you just can't put down.

Deep down what they actually care about is WINDOWS.

All that power but devs would still have to factor in Series S in their game development.

@Specky "For RDR2 and GTA V it's purely a matter of releasing the absolute best quality a game can be and that just holds up. The insane part is no other studio's copying that business model..."

Perfectly said! Ubisoft could make a quality game close to Rockstar's with their workforce but they're in a hurry to release hundred games a month. And to think Ubi's horses have been rubbish compared to first time FromSoft horse - Torrent, it's just laughable.
