@KilloWertz Fair enough! I do wonder how you'd get along with the game not being exposed to any prior Expanse media. I think the main story so far is very easy to follow, so there's no issues there, but there's a lot of discussion and collectibles that talk about the lore of the universe without necessarily explaining the basics. Some of it I'm sure is fairly easy to piece together, but I'm interested by how it might affect someone's enjoyment if they don't already have knowledge of the greater lore. Let me know if and when you do eventually get to it! If you ever feel like giving the show a shot however, the first three seasons are absolutely worth it.
@BentleymaHaha, I am a person who tends to enjoy picking the more "dramatic" choices in games, so to speak. In this case though, I think I was not a monster but justified in both scenarios! It was established that they were almost running out of supplies, they had prosthetics on board and that it was Rayen's own stupidity that got him into the situation in the first place. This way I help the crew as a whole by saving the supplies we desperately needed, have no major consequence for Rayen as he just gets to enjoy a brand new prosthetic and he gets to learn a valuable lesson about scavenging! A win-win! Though if you really think I was a monster for making the choice, you'll be glad to know I soon received karmic justice as last episode Maya died as a result of my actions. Welp. As for Cox... he deserved it. Sabakawala.
Baldur's Gate 3, obv. But I've been experimenting with PS game streaming, and booted up Weird West the other day (looks alright), and TLOU remastered. And with the UK weather and dark nights drawing in, I'm getting quite tempted to play TLOU properly soon 😱
@CJD87 Yes, it is extremely beautiful! Also, it runs so damn well!
I admit that it is so easy compared to the other soulsborne games but that is because it is the first one. Also, it is confusing as hell especially the Tendency stuff! I had to look up guides and tips, just like with every other souls game I have played!
@Zuljaras Haha yeh it is a strange game in that respect, as the difficulty can be a real pendulum swing depending on your build choice.... Magic builds are absolutely cracked out in DeS, and just slice through some bosses! Also, the potential to cheese in DeS is ridiculous, and again makes for an easier ride.
I'd argue though that the Platinum trophy is one of the most obtuse processes I've ever embarked on. How in God's name could anyone get the Plat without a guide?! Even by From's standards, it is beyond cryptic... and the World Tendency is a fantastic conceptual mechanic, but execution is so remarkably poor lol
Cool game though, good to see where it all started
I had about an hour last night trying to find something to play. I didn't fancy yet another open plan AAA game (sorry Spidey) and I wasn't feeling Baldur's Gate yet. I toyed with another Cyberpunk run with the DLC but couldn't bring myself to play something for the third time.
So instead I've gone for a slightly supernatural fishing game instead. As you do.
@Thrillho
The thing I wish I'd have known when playing Dredge...
The game does not tell you that a couple of the quests are time limited - if you don't complete them within a couple of days of receiving them then you won't be able to. However, failing the quest counts as completing it if you are going for all trophies so the only thing you will miss is the reward for completing them.

@sorteddan I think they got rid of the time limits for those thankfully. Makes sense as I’ve found three of those guys now and often haven’t come across the fish they want yet.
Rift Apart is very very good. Plays so much better than the PS3 games, it’s as close as you can get to the smoothness of the original games while being insanely good looking. Playing it with VRR on the 40FPS option and I’m finding it almost as smooth as a native 60. Do have to say that the humour is diabolical though. I mean, it’s not great in the Spider-Man games either. Insomniac back in the day was like a Nickelodeon cartoon at the time, quick-witted and zany all at once. After Deadlocked/Gladiator it went into full on cringe mode. Like a 50 year old dude thinking he’s writing for Gen Z. The emotional beats hit though which is good.
Just started Final Fantasy XVI (having completed the demo months ago), and overall I’d say, as an cinematic action game, it’s been pretty solid so far(currently about 3-4 hours in, not counting the demo). The story and presentation have been great, gameplay, though a bit easy, has been good, and while I’d like more companions, the characters I’ve seen so far have been pretty decent.
One thing I do want to ask those who’ve finished it is: does the game ever open up? I’m assuming I can re-visit locations (mostly) whenever I want, but are there optional areas at all? Or areas that aren’t completely linear? Any towns/cities with supplies to get? Stuff like that.
