@RogerRoger My only gripe with the controls was during hairy moments Aloy would sometimes grip onto something to climb on. Not what you need when a huge beasty or a group of smaller ones are breathing down your neck!
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Kidfried Yep, we got my mum that one for her birthday and played it together over a week or two. I thought it was pretty good, darker than expected too! There was a little bit of ‘what now’ during the asylum section and wandering around was very confusing but it was great overall.
@RogerRoger@Kidfried Complaints about traversal aside, I'd say the controls are still better than Breath of the Wild's. It's not so much the controls themselves, aside from having Circle be used for jumping behind yourself.. It's the fact that they made the process of climbing and jumping overly complicated, as if you could just climb everything like you can in open world Assassin's Creed, things would be easier. It's incredibly annoying at times to be climbing up something, but then not be able to climb all the way to the top just because Guerrilla said so even though Aloy could easily keep going.
In Breath of the Wild, you can sometimes have to hold onto buttons and move around menus just to go through your weapons and ammo. I can only imagine how absurd that would be with the joy-cons as opposed to the Pro controller. Things that should be simple to do aren't, and it's made even worse when you are in the middle of a battle with things breaking on you. Immortals Fenyx Rising is so much easier to play than Breath of the Wild (talking about gameplay, not difficulty).
I'm glad that you are having so much fun with Forbidden West in spite of a few issues. My score would be roughly the same, as it is still clearly my game of the console generation so far.

I've just finished playing Ys IX and I need to start a new digital game from PS + (because I cannot be bothered swapping out my Prodeus disc every time I want to swap games.)
For some reason Bus Simulator 21 is calling to me. Can anyone recommend or give thoughts on it? Feel free to @ me in replies so I get alert.
Nb. if you haven't played a Ys game before, start with VIII, even though most stories are self contained, IX is a real let down compared to VIII

@KilloWertz Yep. Unlike some, I don’t feel the need to announce my comings and goings like a pompous buffoon. Though, in saying that, I’m not that important around here. Good to see you again though, pal.
@sorteddan ‘Them’? Didn’t know there was more than one of me. 😉

Not been playing much outside of Diablo IV lately, to be honest. Mostly Splatoon 3. I did pick up Breath of the Wild to see what all the fuss is about as well.
How about yourself? (Maybe I shouldn’t ask here; don’t want to potentially derail the thread.)

I've been playing Street Fighter 6, really enjoying all the single player content and I'm loving rhe inclusion of classic aracde games in its Playstation Home style hub. I even ventured online expecting to lose but won a few matches, I can't say I'm keen on the Dualsense for these kinds of games so have an adapter for may arcade stick on the way. A great game though
Older than I care to remember but have been gaming since owning a wooden Atari 2600 and played pretty much everything inbetween.
@KAIRU Well, I think this is the right place for such discussions 😄
So yeah, as far as what I’ve been playing over the last few months, my major games have been Jedi Survivor recently, Hogwarts Legacy before that, and a few smaller games in between like Tacoma, and Tchia. All have been enjoyable in their own way.
I’ve never played a Diablo game. It looks curious and there’s quite a hubbub about this new one.

@Th3solution I’ve been enjoying it so far. The games are definitely very grind-heavy but they’re very fun!

Recently I have been playing The Ascent and also Descenders. Only when seeing their names next to each other on the home screen did I realise my folly... Explains the slow progress on both at least.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan That is ironic, although I think it’s actually fitting to play those two games simultaneously. Their titles are antonymic and complement one another to bring balance in your gaming. It’s not like as if you were playing The Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds at the same time, or Wild Hearts and Wild Arms, or something like that. That just plain confusing. 😄
I’ve been curious about The Ascent actually, and have it on my watchlist. What do you think of it so far?
