@StitchJones Yeah I'm puzzled as to why they've chosen UE5 for The Witcher 4 when RED is still perfectly capable. I'm currently playing Witcher 3 and it still looks gorgeous. I don't think UE5 is particularly good at character models/facial expressions which is one of the better things of the RED Engine.
I really hope that Troy Baker starts scooping up some best performance awards. His Harrison Ford was impeccable. I also hope that KCD2 wins many well deserved awards too.
Zero Dawn is my favourite PlayStation 'exclusive' but I was nowhere near as smitten with Forbidden West. It looked great but everything else just wasn't as good as the first game, in my opinion. Even Aloy became dislikeable, for me.
I got all achievements for Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox but it's nowhere near as satisfying as a good old platinum trophy ping.
I've started playing The Witcher 3 from the very beginning again. This game is 10 years old and, in my opinion, puts a lot of recent new games to shame.
I personally loved Fallout 4. It had plenty of things to discover when just exploring, had some great characters/companions and had some very decent quests. I even preferred the voiced protagonist but that was thanks to badass Nora being voiced by Jack from Mass Effect.
@Ravix I'm most definitely sticking to the one hobby of videos games. At least skating there I can get up without a scratch after a 200ft spread eagle.
@Lowdefal It's embarrassing but I was merely practicing the very basic skill of pushing. Board went from under me. Luckily, there were no Nelson Muntz's around.

I bought myself a skateboard this week and within half an hour I was in A&E with a dislocated elbow and fracture. I've learned that I'm at least 30 years too late to pick up skating as a new hobby. Limited game time for a few weeks.
Still on the Xbox because my PS5 is playing silly buggers. Started playing Hogwarts Legacy again as it's on Game Pass (which I've downgraded because those new prices are ridiculous).
@Rich33 Yeah, I did in fact remove the fan cover and blow it out with a compressed air can. I think it's either clogged up heatsinks or I've buggered the fan somehow.

Re: PS5 Players Ponder Avowed Port as Xbox RPG Delays Its 'Biggest Update Yet'
Played this on Game Pass and thought that it was fairly decent. It does get repetitive though.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Now at a Staggering 35 Million Sales as Work on Sequel Continues to Ramp Up
Still my favourite game of all time just above The Witcher 3. I'm a CDPR fanboy and proud of it.

Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for November 2025 Leaked
My dog always tried pawing my TV screen whenever I played this. I'm pretty sure he knew it wasn't real because he's normally s**t scared of cats.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 604
80 hours into Hogwarts Legacy and still not finished. I got the platinum for this on my PS5 so I may as well get all cheevos here on Xbox.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 603
@Ravix I'm a pro at this one 😎
I never did try Session but I've got it in my PS Plus library. Might give it a whirl.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 603
Doing flipendos in Hogwarts Legacy and flip tricks in Skate.

I've never been on my Xbox so much until now.
Re: Ghost of Yotei (PS5) - The Greatest Sucker Punch Game Ever
I'm really up for this but my PS5 keeps shutting off after about an hour of playing. Gutted.
How is Atsu as the protagonist?
