I've put in a few hours on Deliver Us Mars. The story seems compelling enough, the graphics and score are fantastic and the exploration puzzle gameplay is pretty much what I'd expected from playing the first game. The only thing that's getting to me is the jankiness of the character animations, it's like half way between cartoon and realism and keeps throwing me out of full immersion.
The spacey sci-fi geek in me is enjoying it so far though.

Just started RotR properly. Looks promising so far. Loving the combat.
Edit: Just beat the Prologue and first boss. Proper action rpg game so far.
Edit 2: Haha, didn't realise the second boss that you're meant to defeat was actually the final boss battle of the prologue, completed and got the appropriate trophy this morning🤣 . @Jimmer-jammer Now let loose in the world!

@xeofate Idk how it is for you but, also, RotR strongly reminds me of TW3 so far for some reason. I think it's related to the quest & leveling-up system.
Edit: Also ,the dialogue options which influence the story, and, inevitably, my build, of course. 🤣

Playing Destiny 2. Not played it in a few years, and I've never really been able to follow the story that well, possibly cos I never pay that much attention to it anyway. It is pretty cool though when I've read up about it. The gameplay still feels as good as ever, especially the shooting which is probably one of my favourites in a FPS.
I'm playing solo which has mostly been fine. I did bump up difficulty to Legendary, as I found I was destroying everything. That made the horde sections too difficult for me, as you get dumped back to the start of the section when you die. So back on to Classic, seeing as you can't change the difficulty mid mission.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder Where did you jump back in? Like at Lightfall, or The Taken King, or what? Does the game automatically know where you should be dropped back in?

@Th3solution There are missions you play to recap and then I was put into Lightfall. Dunno if that was where I stopped playing last time as it has been so long, I do not recall.

Picked up rise of the ronin in the new sale. I'm not good at it lol. It took me 20 times to best the first boss mathew perry, prompting the game to ask if I want to lower the difficulty. My pride held on and I finally won. Need to get better at my timing on parrying.
XDefiant is XDecent. Slightly wonky hit detection and floaty physics doesn’t stop it giving me quite warm flashbacks to PS3 CoD. Did get killed by someone with a proper Xx_PU55Y5LAY3R_xX ass name too, brought a tear to my eye. Still a rubbish name though.
@Elodin Congratulations for making it through, proves that listening to one's pride can sometimes be a good thing to do. What difficulty are you playing on? I am playing mostly for the story, my character seems to be op on the easiest difficulty setting, haven't died once so far, I've almost reached the third boss, loving the combat/combat animations etc.

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN I'm playing on normal (middle choice). I like some challenge, as the elation of winning a tough fight is great. I didnt expect it to be the first boss though. Need to get used to controls better. Lots of hold r1, push directional and such.
@Elodin I remapped the controls to a Dark Souls style setup, there's info on reddit, which I'm sure some Googling would lead you to, as to how to do it exactly. Good luck!

@Jimmer-jammer Haha, glad to see you read back through it, too. Hopefully it will get better for me as I go along, too, nearly at the third boss, so pacing myself now in order to savor the experience, (the plat is probably a bit too much for me, so just focusing on the main campaign), as I hear there are only nine mandatory bosses, or something like that. I also mentioned you in The Music Thread, so you might want to take a gander at that topic as well! .😉
Edit: Just beat the third boss, he was pretty tough, used all my healing items to beat him, Perry was a cakewalk compared to him, took me two tries to defeat him, first time I've died in the game was to him, obviously, and made a decision that led to me getting the Glider etc. I think I'm in Yokohama now, which is apparently where things really open up.

Besides Rise of the Ronin, I've been co-oping with my daughter in Cat Quest 2. It's a simple rpg that's not too frustrating that my daughter would want to quit. BG3 got her into the RPG games a bit and Im trying to keep it going w/o her losing interest. It's fun to couch coop with her, as an older teenager she generally wants to hang out in her room. Hopefully we keep it going and maybe I'll pick up the 3rd cat quest when it comes out.
Anyway, I re subbed to PS Plus Extra as I'm slightly drunk and even though I was planning to fully downgrade to regular, the price wasn't too bad in the sale (and letting it run out at this time of year opens up those sale prices, kerching) but I had to act quick amd choose a plan as I had to re sub between fifa club Elite division playoff games 🤣 so Extra it is and if i play one game on it its provably worth it for the year, so happy overall 😅
I suppose FC24 is the game I was currently playing which keeps it on topic 😁 but seriously did the other thread just implode?
When it seems you're out of luck.

@Ravix Yeah, I noticed this too. The PS4 latest purchase thread is intact, but I couldn’t find rhe PS5 one.
I finally picked up GoW Ragnarok since I found it on sale for $35 on disc. Since Sony isn’t releasing anything for the foreseeable future and seem hell bent on not putting GoWR on PS+ Extra, I figure I’d just bite the bullet on Ragnarok. Not sure when I’ll get around to it, but into the backlog it goes, available for when the mood hits.
