Good to see you back @Gremio108! I've had to be a bit of a lurker as well of late with how busy I've been at work as well. Hope it goes well and you get that promotion!
How's Salt & Sanctuary? That's the 2D souls if I recall like right? I take it you've seen the Elden Ring footage too and are eagerly awaiting it?
I've only now just got time to write down my thoughts on Nioh's opening that that I had a little go of over the weekend.
I'm surprised at how disappointed I was actually upon finishing the section in the Tower of London I actually quite liked the atomsphere of the setting (Even though it wasn't anything particularly special I guess?) and I'm not much for historical settings as whole.
The combat's quite nice and fast paced and I was doing pretty well with it too... Never got to use the stance system though.
Seemed a lot better then when I played one of the beta's for it. I look forward to playing it properly at some point... Maybe sooner rather then later!

I am currently playing Yakuza Kiwami 2. It's my first time playing through this series having only played the first Kiwami three months ago or so. I really like it. I find the combat pretty annoying on any level apart from Easy. And that's okay for me. I don't want a challenge. I just want to wander around Japan and get involved in hijinks.
@TraCuz- 👍 cheers Tra, I don't like changing avatars willy-nilly but on the odd occasion that something grips my attention I'll try a new one on for size 😉
@TraCuz- been playing through Watch Dogs 2 for the past week, can't be far from the end now actually. I've enjoyed it quite a bit but am hoping to have it all wrapped up by the 3rd July, as I've got the week off from work and plan on playing through Ghost of Tsushima.
How about you, think the last time I saw you in here you had been neck deep in FFXIV... and loving every second?
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I'm a big fan of Nioh, so I'm happy you've enjoyed your initial foray. I don't want to take away from you discovering the great things about the game for yourself... but all I will say is kusarigama. I played a big chunk of the games opening with a spear, then tried one of the katanas... and it was good, I was enjoying... but then I tried the Kusarigama and it elevated the whole game. In fact I can't wait to start Nioh 2 to get some more kusarigama-time in 😁
@colonelkilgore I'm glad Watch Dogs 2 is working out for you, personally I got burned by Watch Dogs 1 and Ubisoft formula in general and unfortunately never gave Watch Dogs 2 the time of day. Also I need a tag when you start Ghost, I'll happily join the discussion. If the online Legends mode interests you I'd join that too.
Neck Deep? Brother I'm far past that. FFXIV is easily one my favorite gaming experiences of all time, but it's surely not for everyone. The only other games that come close to giving me that childlike sense of adventure and wonder would be Skyrim and Zelda: BOTW. Some of the best world and character building/writing that I've personally experienced in a game, calling it a game almost does it a disservice. It is very much so a living breathing virtual world. Traversal is blissful and combat is very fun once you get to higher level content. You know how welcoming the "most" of the Push Square community is? Imagine that twofold, and it's almost every player(of course there's a few bad apples, cmon its the internet). In my near 400 hours of play, I've come across maybe two "bad apples". I adore this game and this won't be the last time you see me rave about it .
@TraCuz- glad you've gotten so much out of it bud, its great when you find a game that you connect with to that extent. Not gonna lie, the enthusiasm with which you speak about it does kinda make think I should give it a try at some point.
Will do about GoT... and yeah if I'm still hankering after some if that GoT action (I've heard it has a great combat system from many people) GoT Legend's could be a real good shout 👍
@colonelkilgore Yeah I'd highly recommend especially since the free trial is one of the most generous offers in the entire gaming industry. Entire base game and 1st expansion up to level 60 trial cap. No time limit so no need to rush, which is great because it's very much a take your time and smell the roses kind of game. Most of the free trial restrictions are social limitations. Unable to send players direct messages, unable to make parties, and unable to buy/sell on the marketboard. That's pretty much it, the rest of the game is your playground. Just a heads up before you invest even a minute of your time, it's an MMO and there's a monthly $15 subscription in want to continue to lvl 80 and other expansions. Just though it'd be fair you know ahead of time.
Honestly when I played Ghost I wanted them to dive into the more mystical aspect of Japanese culture, but the story of Jin Sakai is very much grounded and told in a realistic world. For Legends mode they had their fun and went full blown mystical with fighting Oni and undead samurai. Not to mention this FREE update did a better job than Destiny and The Division with leveling and looting.
@TraCuz- cheers for the info, tbh the fact it's an MMO is what has deterred me starting it up until now. The only MMO I ever played was ESO and I became far too obsessed for my liking. It was taking too much of my time and attention... and from what I've heard about FFXIV it would take my already addictive personality to even worse levels.
Still, I can't help but feel tempted... I played FFVIIR & FFXV last year (my first FF's) and loved them both. And everyone keeps telling me the world and narrative of XIV is better than both! I need an MMO clone 🤣
@Jimmer-jammer Thanks dude, how is your playthrough of Biomutant going? Have you managed to defeat the Porky Puff yet? That boss killed the game for me..

@Th3solution Thanks dude, I am looking forward to further exploring the game, upgrading and whatnot, and yes ,the Janitor's accent is certainly "unique!", he's Finnish, apparently, according to the internet How is Returnal going for you?

@Jimmer-jammer Would you agree that the fight with the Porky Puff is somewhat broken then? I just couldn't get past it.

@Jimmer-jammer I understand. Best of luck with Demon's Souls
N.B Be sure to tag me when you play through it, as I'll be excited to discuss!

@TheBrandedSwordsman Returnal is going …well, I guess 😅. I’ve bemoaned my struggles over on the dedicated game thread, so I’ll not expound too much, but I’ve yet to beat the first boss. In my defense, I still feel like I’m getting better and climbing the steep learning curve gradually, but not over the hump yet. Still enjoying it though, so I’m not giving up yet.
