Finally finished Forbidden West. Took me long enough lol. It was alright, I enjoyed it, but I had to force myself to finish it. Skipped most of the dialogue though, didn't really care about the story.
@Octane That’s too bad. I hadn’t heard a lot of detractors for HFW. I’ve yet to play it and was looking forward to another mind-blowing narrative. Did you enjoy HZD?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution HZD was fun, partly because it was new as well. Though I have to say that I didn't care for HZD's story either. The combat is fun, and that's still there, but it does feel like it's just more of the same, a very "safe" sequel. It also feels bigger, which I'm not sure is a good thing. I think I beat HZD in 60-70 hours (got the platinum I think). HFW took 100 hours to beat, and I even ignored most of the side stuff (combat challenges, Strike mini-game, etc.). So maybe it overstays it welcome a little.
@Octane The increased size does worry me. I got lost in HZD and had to take a break from it in the middle. Only when I went back to it a year later did I really appreciate it and enjoy the story more. It’s an issue becoming more common in the open world genre. I blame Witcher 3 for setting the trend. 😄
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Same thing with me. Got really confused with what to do next in HZD. Same went with The Witcher 3 and Skyrim. Except I beat HZD and got really far into Skyrim (which I then recently deleted because of it being too lengthy and because I had much too much shorter games in my backlog).
Back to the main topic, I recently platinumed both Nier: Automata and Doom: Eternal, both masterpieces, especially the first one. Honestly if you haven't played Nier yet idk what you're doing go buy it and play it no matter what.
@RogerRoger
PSN stats can absolutely not be trusted. Just beat GoT which has game timer on the save game file so know it was just under 51 hours, and that's not including time in menus etc. Checked my games profile earlier and it reckons around 47 hours!
@sorteddan@RogerRoger yeah they deffo can’t be trusted! For instance Hitman GO - 47 hours played 🤔… though I do appreciate that blatant embellishment in all honesty.
@RogerRoger I know right… it normally wouldn’t have even registered with me but I knew for a fact that Hitman GO could not have taken more than 10 hours (if that). So after a brief moment of bewilderment it clicked.
After 419 hours over 6 months I have finally finished Elden Ring. Suffice to say it is very likely this will be my GOTY and it is gonna take something special to beat for GOTG.
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.
@Thrillho Nope! Think I had about 5 trophies left. Think I had done everything for all the endings, but wanted the ending I got to be 'my' ending, if that makes sense.
I had started Stray anyway and will probably play a few smaller games before jumping into anything major, but have no idea what that will be. Definitely will not be something open world.

@JohnnyShoulder Congrats on finally finishing it! I’ve been in a total rut since finishing Elden Ring to be honest, nothing’s grabbed me at all since. Mostly just been putting hours into roguelikes and Lego games as they’re mind-numbing.
Platinumed Spider-man after getting PS Plus extra. I’m sure everyone has played it already, but what a great game. The writing is superb, the story actually had a real heart. And of course the gameplay just felt great. I felt the side missions and collecting were too repetitive, and some villains were given short shrift, but I can’t wait to see them improved in the sequel. 9/10.
