I'm replaying The Last of Us 2, this time the remastered version on Pro and one of the most epic cutscenes - Te Birthday Gift - is broken. It freezes every time and the only way to progress the game is to skip it. Just great...
I’m 83 hours in Dragon Age Veilguard, barely through Act 2, and I’m in love with this game. Honestly, if you put in the time and talk to your companions regularly, do all side content, and just be present with what the game offers, you’ll discover a game that is peak BioWare. Honestly, after a few certain story beats, the writing becomes top notch, even though it can be cringey in the first several hours, as you get to know your party members. When you do, though — man, they are great.
I’m not even remotely burned out on the game, either, which is shocking because at this point I’m usually rushing to the end of an RPG. Here, there is so much unique content and side quests with characters, and seeing their interactions and what-have-you, I just don’t want the game to end.
I also just romanced Harding. Let me tell you, it might be one of the most adorable scenes I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in an RPG, particularly in terms of romancing characters.
Hogwarts Legacy is a much bigger game than I remembered, which means I can't really play it alongside TLoUp1, so Ellie and Joel are going to have to wait a while. Same goes for any other single player game I had going. I do prefer focusing on one game, usually, but there's so many I want to play that I've yet to. Guess we have to hope for a long, dark boring winter where nothing else takes from gaming time 😅

I don’t know why, other than I’ve been meaning to play it and I was in the mood for something chill after white-knuckling the Sir Alonne and Fume Knight fights in Dark Souls. I had spent all my mental concentration abilities on those fights and so just randomly clicked on DUTM.
It’s alright. Nothing spectacular yet. Definitely slightly ‘budget’ feeling, and yet it looks great from time to time. I’m only an hour or so into it; just got to the moon, so maybe it picks up. I will say, zero gravity controls stink. I really dislike underwater parts in games due to the floaty impreciseness, and the outer space floaty controls are oh so much worse.

@Bentleyma Loved that game and the entire trilogy.

@Th3solution I started this the other night as well.
Got to the space station and turned on life support and called it a night there but I'll be playing more soon.
Since the Pro's been released, I've been switching around, but ultimately, I found my way back to Lords of the Fallen. I got it when it first came out last year, but fell off, since it wasn't fully cooked. Now, coming back a year later, it's really hitting the spot! I don't know what it is, but I'm such a huge mark for creepy religious fanaticism and iconography in fiction, but particularly in games. The changes that Hexworks has made over the year have really taken the game to the next level. It's less like From Software games and more like Team Ninja games, at least in terms of movement and the all-nebulous "game feel," but I think it stands tall among the ever-expanding Souls-like subgenre.
@LN78 Interesting. I haven't found the HUD distracting at all. It seems pretty in line with other Souls-likes, at least to me. The only extra thing I've noticed is the Dread meter, which I think is only visible when you're in Umbral. Do you normally turn the HUD off in From Soft games?
It’s my day off so I’ve been putting more hours into Dragon Age Veilguard. I’m wrapping up all of companion quests and factions and then will be finishing up the story. I really don’t want the game to end. I might start a second play through — I have a desire to play a dwarf; a class I never choose in any RPGs. I tend to go to an Elf and rogue of some kind.
Anyone try the game Drova? I'm leaning towards picking it up. I might wait for a sale but$25 is not bad in its own right. I don't mind pixel art if the story is done right and a good rpg. From what I have read so far it sounds good. Just wondering if anyone tried it yet?
I think, in retrospect, 20 End is enough in Elden Ring, as I could already fast-roll in med-light armor at 19. So now I am finishing off my build by putting all my points into Str, 24 more levels to go to reach 80 Str and be truly op and unstoppable!
Edit: After doing a bit of research I've discovered that 60 Str should be enough, so just one more level to go now!

I decided to finally check the next-gen update to The Witcher 3. I wanted to just play for a few hours to get the feel of the game but it was inevitable... I immediatelly got sucked in again and it will be very hard to stop playing and I have so many games waiting for their turn
@Jimmer-jammer I finally completed my build today and bested Margit, the Fell Omen, this evening. I guess that despite his boasting, he wasn't the one to extinguish my tarnished's flame of ambition 🤣😉 .It's like @JohnnyShoulder said, he didn't pose too much of a threat to my op character, and I am thoroughly appreciative of my hard work farming paying off. Now just have to get my Greatsword up to +18 when I reach the Mountaintops of the Giants later, and Jellyfish Ashes up to +5 later for the endgame bosses, who I am sure are gonna pack a heftier punch.

@JohnnyShoulder You're probably right - I'll have to go with another option. I'll reflect. I have a Lhutel the Headless Spirit Ash in stock - just have to level Mind if I'm gonna use it. Might have to respec further down the line or something.
