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.
@Titntin @Perturbator @Northern_munkey @MightyDemon82 Cheers brothers x
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.
I dropped off DA Veilguard because it was all a bit too safe and samey for my tastes, especially for a Dragon Age game. Also, Taash is an insufferable bratty little child.
Started playing No Man's Sky which is a totally different experience from when I played it on first release and dipping in and out of Skate too.
Playing AC Valhalla with no HUD looks gorgeous but If I were to show off the graphical showcase of the PS5, I'd take a walk or drive through Japantown on a rainy night in Cyberpunk 2077.
I decided to give DA Veilguard another chance. I still think that the writing, dialogue and overall tone of the game is the worst part but it's pretty fun to play. Very similar to ME Andromeda in that regard. I absolutely love Bryony Corrigan's voice as Rook, though, and Bellara is strangely likeable.
@pyrrhic_victory I thought that it would be like this after the first gameplay vid had them in. I was a tad gutted when I was playing the game and no cutscenes appeared. Still love it though.

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.

I've never been on my Xbox so much until now.

I'm really up for this but my PS5 keeps shutting off after about an hour of playing. Gutted.
