@EfYI ...kind of yeah - in the sense that they are very hardcore, won't hold your hand in any whatsoever with a huge open world that you're free to explore as you wish and challenging combat. They're both fantastic with tonnes of atmosphere. And yes, similar mechanics, like you say

Sorry guys, Im being a full on traitor this weekend and staying on XBX for the next few months lol !
Playing the truly wonderful KC2 - Deliverance , got to Trosky and picked up some side quests and loving it. So much better than the first game.
Started Avowed on early access with GamePass and its great so far, an interesting Pillars of Eternity spin-off- a fantasy Outer Worlds and im loving it
Also, another life sapping open world hardcore RPG with the brilliant STALKER 2 ..As hardcore as it gets and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Trying to plat the amazing Stellar Blade but that Brute boss REALLY kicks ass big time. What a game though !
Trying to mop up the final Achievements in Indy Jones before I do another story run through.
Also blitzing through the lovely Crew Motorfest which is a joy to play and get lost in.
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Been so busy working the last 2 weekends but now I'm back baby !
So im on an Achievement mop up on Indy Jones on GamePass. This turned out to be my GOTY for '24. Let's hope it rocks up on PS5 soon.
Im also blitzing WOW The War Within which is the freshest WoW has been in years, it's outstanding....15hrs flys by playing this 😅
More of the superb Stellar Blade too but man some of the bosses kick my ass hard, but I won't rest until I get the Platinum
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

@ApostateMage reading your posts on here, I think we have VERY similar taste in games - believe me, Veilguard is a great game. Yes there's SOME questionable dialogue but there's also some fantastic writing in there too - some of the side quests with the cast of characters ( similar to ME2 loyalty missions, are superb, one in particular but I won't spoil it ) the lore of the game is deep and overall I loved it.
Most people slating the game on here have never played it

@Rich33 ...I thought Veilguard was great, too. Some fantastic quests hidden in there, there's actually some GREAT writing in it ( see : Solas ) and some stunning locations.
Most people on here slating it as "Failguard LOLZ" have 1000% haven't played it

Been playing Indiana Jones on XBX which the wife bought me and it's an absolute gem of a game ! A bit slower paced than I thought but a joy to play
Done 4 missions on Helldivers 2 and trying to get to grips with it but loving it so far. I just worry I'm so late to the party with it all but it looks like there's lots of other new Xmas noobs like me lol.
On New Years Day me and the daughter will start Astrobot together and we're both excited!
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Just finished DA Veilguard ..loved it, despite some ropey dialogue
Gotta help with shopping and pre Xmas stuff or the wife will be in a rage if I just play STALKER 2 all weekend but will sneak in some late night sessions of WOW The War Within which is outstanding.
Looking forward to some new Christmas games in Indiana Jones and Helldivers 2 - just hoping i haven't missed the boat on that !
We bought my daughter Astrobot for Xmas so I'll be stealing that when she's not looking 🤣🤣
Merry Christmas to you and all your families guys and gals ❤️🎅

STALKER 2 on XBX....a serious GOTY contender for me. An old school, hardcore PC style shooter. It's unbelievably immersive. God knows how Pure Xbox gave it a 4/10 !!??
Will do another run on another XBX GOTY, the gobsmacking Hellblade 2 ....i hope this comes to PS5 for the non Xbox-ers. It's superb.
I really want to play Indiana Jones but the Mrs has bought me it for Xmas so I can't aarrgghh. Not a popular opinion here but Xbox has had a great year with the above games along with MS Flight Simulator.
Also trying to Plat the amazing DA Veilguard on PS5. Loving the Game whilst tolerating some bad dialogue but overall it's fantastic!
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Heavily into WoW The War Within on PC. This is outstanding, the best WoW expansion since Legion. The new changes such as soloable delves and dungeons is a game changer.
Loving Black Ops 6 too, by far the best CoD in years- fantastic campaign and the multiplayer is as peerless as ever, as long as you ignore the ridiculous skins !
Will continue with the excellent DOA The Veilguard - not far off fully completing it now I think, here's to the Plat popping soon I hope !
I'll also find a bit of time for Diablo 4 Veil of Hatred which is again another stunning expansion. I'll get hated for saying this but ActiBlizz having a good year with the quality of their output
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
