I'm still plugging away at Horizon Forbidden West. Apparently I'm 48 hours in and it feels like I've barely scratched the surface!

I am not sure but think I am about 12 hours in so a long way to go, I have just met the big fella that has the first thingy (forgot it's name) she needs under his throne so I guess I have a long way to go.

@Max_Headroom You’re doing better than me then as I spent the first 30 hours doing side missions I think 😁

I haven't done many side missions i think its time to stop rushing through it and enjoy those as well.

@Max_Headroom It's always a problem of mine in these massive open world games that I get FOMO and so end up doing every side mission as soon as they come up. But when I get back to the main story I'm so over-levelled it's a bit ridiculous

One problem I've had is that I'm really blasé about the skill tree and routinely have like 30 skill points to use as nothing seems particularly exciting to put the points into. I've also found the RNG a bit annoying when trying to hunt for specific machine parts so have taken to dropping the difficulty to story mode at times as that gives you a 100% drop for everything when you take down the machine.

I'm playing some Texas Chain Saw Massacre right now. I'm still learning the ropes and figuring things out, but it's a fun game so far and I think I'll continue to enjoy it the more I get into it.

Armored Core VI on Friday too...

@KAIRU You could say you are still oiling the blades.... or not. 😆

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.

@JohnnyShoulder Absolutely. Gotta keep things lubricated! 😏

@TheBrandedSwordsman hey dude been a while, sorry bud the notification didn’t seem to come up on this one, so just noticed it as I was scrolling through.

Glad you’re back on the boards… and back after souls. The Dragon Bone Smasher has your name on it bud 😉

I usually play on easy mode my days of having patience to beat games on hard levels are long gone I prefer to play the story than get annoyed when being killed over and over again.

@Thrillho I was doing that towards the end for any weapons and armour I wanted to upgrade and needed the parts.

I had so many left to upgrade by then, I didn't bother with the rest. I think I would still be playing it now if I did!

Armored Core VI is absolute FIRE! 🔥

I'm getting absolutely owned by some of these tougher enemies, but it's proper good fun. Maybe I'm being a bit reactionary, but I'm having a lot of fun with it in these opening few hours.

How convenient for it to release on a bank holiday weekend too, eh?

@Jimmer-jammer Yeah, it's my first experience with the series as well, so I imagine you'll be in a similar boat as myself!

The first real boss fight gave me a bit of a beating but I do honestly think my experiences with Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and Sekiro have helped me prepare somewhat. It's by no means 'Dark Souls with Robots' though, despite it being a bit of a challenge. Having a blast with it so far.

Heading to bed as it's late but I'll be jumping straight back in tomorrow, for sure.

@Jimmer-jammer Yeah, it's very good — and it's something different! I haven't really played anything like this before so it's definitely a nice palette cleanser and it's a cracking looking game so far too, in my opinion!

@Jimmer-jammerYeah, FromSoft are fantastic at that sort of thing.

Hoping to hear your thoughts on the game when you eventually get round to playing it!

@Jimmer-jammer I reckon you’ll enjoy it!

@KAIRU I am totally stuck on Balteus. It feels like Ashina Castle Genichiro all over again.

I am still enjoying my countless fruitless attempts to overcome Balteus, and have had loads of fun with the game so far, but....

@woollypump Yeah, that was a tough boss, for sure! I think it took me about an hour to beat it. Dodging those homing missiles felt almost impossible.

@KAIRU I managed last night after replaying a few missions to get some more parts and a bit of experimentation with my build. Not sure how long it took me in total, felt like many many tries but I probably didn't last more than a couple of minutes each attempt. I also think it felt longer than it probably was because I split it across a few sessions and had to redo the mission/ Sulla whenever I went back to buy different gear. Really fun boss though, loved the music as well, but I'm a sucker for synths.

KAIRU

@woollypump Yeah, it's a really good boss. Sulla gave me a bit of a tough time too.

The good thing is when you sell any unwanted gear, you sell it for the same price you bought it originally, so you're not losing out on any money by doing that. You can also change the assembly of your AC when you die mid-mission which is really nice too.

Let me know your thoughts on Chapter Two. It's shorter than Chapter One but the final mission in the chapter is an interesting one.
