@tallythwack the butter in my house is always loaded with breadcrumbs tbf

Baldurs Gate 3, of course! Surprised there aren’t more above playing it. Maybe they didn’t opt for the early release

I do like it, I just don’t £200 like it. But I’m not sure I £120 like it either, and that seems like a more reasonable price point so I guess it just isn’t for me.

I do still like it, though.

@TheArt to be fair, when I see AC I think Animal Crossing

@TheArt They were pumping out Armored Core’s back when Ubisoft still made decent games!

Like a 40 degree day.

@PSme How's he trolling? Don't be sensitive!

@sanqet I couldn’t get going with it as a kid but always felt like an itch I had left unscratched so glad to be having a crack at it now. I really think a remaster, sequel, remake, reimagining - whatever - would be a great idea.

I’ve been playing Vagrant Story for most of the week. It’s really good but bloody hard. It keeps getting harder too. I might have to give up if it doesn’t let up, we’ll see. Has anyone else played it?

Otherwise not a lot this weekend, big ride this morning and a day out tomorrow so limited time!

Should be cheaper. Obviously it’s priced like this for parity on Switch where it’s “all new!” Not sure I have it in me for a replay but I wouldn’t pay more than….£7.99?

I wouldn’t talk down to people who want to spend their money on it though and those who do should get over themselves!!!

I’d like to know how this game holds up in the final 1/4, as that’s where the OS games fall a bit flat. Very solid starts, though.

@PenguinLtd maybe give it a little more time but I don’t think you’ll like it if you still don’t after 3 hours, unfortunately.

Diablo 2 and Vagrant Story for me!

@ShogunRok nearly been under one once, I was choking on a Big Mac and fell into the gutter coughing it up. I should have known better really, fast food is bad for you.

It looks good but let's see if people actually buy it before we say the franchise is famous.

@KundaliniRising333 I’m not surprised I’m just saying I don’t much care for it 🤷‍♂️ I’d just prefer it was out of the news cycle a little and I could enjoy it for what it is next month instead of being swept up in the hype, just as I did OS1, 2 and Pillars 2.

@StrawberryTurtle exactly!

Calm down with the BG3 articles, I've been looking forward to it for ages but the hyping up is a little OTT now, and almost putting me off getting it from day one!

I wouldn't mind generally spoiler free "What I wish I knew from the beginning after 100 hours" type articles and some tips on a starting character nearer release, though.

Edit: Well, I can see that is well underway... lol.

Absolute cowboys

@Northern_munkey the noise I am hearing about D4 was no different to D3 really, and I enjoyed that game a lot, it’s my most played console game ever. That said, it’s only going to improve so I am happy sitting on it for a few more months. Really looking forward to playing it though, I am sure I will love it. The beta was great.

@theheadofabroom it’s a trap sequels always tend to fall into unfortunately, not everything that gets added is bad per se but while introducing new features it can’t help but strip out some of the purity the original had in the process. I guess you just have to take the later games as you find them - eventually when things get so bad, it’s reboot time!

This week I set out to slay hordes of demons and take down the Lord of Terror himself in Diablo….. 1?!

A bit of a bucket list game for me this, I grew up hearing talk of how good it was. I played the PS1 version on my RG35XX and I have to say it really holds up much better than I thought it would. I could hardly put it down once I started to play and got through it in 4 irresponsible sessions. Truly, at least half of that is down to the utterly phenomenal soundtrack.

It was also really cool coming face to face with characters like Lazarus that I have heard so much about from Diablo 3, and being properly introduced to the likes of Cain and Adria.

It’s tough, too - the final couple of levels (the game is essentially a 16 level dungeon) do not play nice.

Watch your eyes on the corners of these pixels…

I’ve moved back to Diablo 2 on PS5 now, with some new found enthusiasm and perspective, and I have also started Suikoden on the RG35XX… another bucket list game for me. So far so good. Soundtrack could use more electric guitar and crying babies, though.

@somnambulance I’ve been wanting this game for a long time, it looks like I might skip the launch myself now as it’s landing during a busy period for me so I might have to wait a week or so. Forget the FOMO, just get it when you are ready and play through it at an enjoyable pace. No reason to be burnt out on anything, these things are supposed to be fun.

Edit: also I meant pre-release build in my last comment, doh!

@somnambulance it’s not really anything like Cyberpunk, which was a disaster at launch. It’s been in open beta for ages and people have had a lot of hands on time with the pre release build already.

@Fight_Teza_Fight If you can get over the hump, I think you'll find OS fantastic. Although I loved that hump personally!

@DennisReynolds “ No offence but people don't really have real morals despite what we pretend, sex and violence is just what humans are and always have been.” Are you the real Dennis Reynolds?

@PlasmaticSnake

It’s a brave new world!

@PlasmaticSnake I got your back jack

@PlasmaticSnake not really, mostly just saying you’re wrong regarding your opinion on this matter

Although I reckon Tears of the Kingdom did the bestiality thing first this year.

@PlasmaticSnake “The fact that this kind of stuff is normalized while opinions like ours get sneered at is very concerning.”

It’s almost as if you’re the ones who are wrong, isn’t it?! 😂

So glad it’s (almost) finally here!

20, 50, 120gb.. whatever.

I’m playing Diablo 1 at the minute actually and haven’t seen ANY bloody treasure goblins. Although maybe they are there in amongst the mess of pixels.

@Cordyceps as @HonestHick said, the game wasn’t close to broken at launch. It’s a live service game, it will live or die through continued support and tweaking such as this. It won’t all be home runs, and naysayers like yourself will always be there on the sideline to scoff and say “I told you so” (btw everyone loves I told you so, so definitely do that a lot) every time it stumbles, but providing the general trajectory is upwards from launch reasonable people will be satisfied.

@Lumic Well done! I am just on the second mission, I actually haven't played it for a while purely because I didn't want to leave TOTK half finished (like I did with BOTW). Thinking about Aliens nearly every day though, just prioritising. Can't wait to get back to it.

If I had to give one negative I have found the human enemies in the second mission to be a bit meh.

I think there has been an update, I found the marines to be a bit too talky (a common complaint) - did they address that at all?

I finally saw the credits in TOTK this week. Best game ever? It’s easily in the runnings for sure. I still have plenty to mop up and I’m not tired of it so I’ll keep chipping away as I await Baldurs Gate 3.

Elsewhere, I’m playing The Minish Cap and Pokémon Saphire on the RG35XX.

I voted for Cloud but I should have voted for Zidane, what was I thinking 😩😩. He’s an utterly fantastic lead character. I’ll have to make 2 duplicate accounts now to cancel out my Cloud vote and give Zidane the one he deserves.

@LifeGirl I mean, you don't HAVE to see it.

@number1024 I.. guess this is a language barrier. Goodluck with that!

@number1024 "Name me a super car, except the old Ferraris and hyper one off cars or rare cars that HAVE gone up in value."

The one they are auctioning in the article? (I mean, that was my point, this is potentially worth it if you have the budget and view it as an investment)

@number1024 I reckon your non-messed with version is unlikely to go up in value though!

Imagine going from having a job where you have to deal with real problems to this.

I’d have thought the voice cast would have all been too young to be legally employed in the first place

Lol, oh really. I used to like Gex 3D a lot. To the extent I had a gecko when I was a kid called Gex. It’s not a very good game though, really!

@BeerIsAwesome yes I remember Concept on PS3 getting a real slating for its overall lack of content versus cost, beating Ground Zeroes to the punch there perhaps!

@BeerIsAwesome yeah I played a bit of Sport, so 7 is technically 8. Or is it 9 or 10 if we include the “Concept” games? Lol.

Looking at the titles now, I forget that GT3 had the subtitle “A-spec”. That’s pretty cool, to be fair.

@BeerIsAwesome ah whatever number they are up to now. I was playing Gran Turismo 1 earlier today, the world’s gone crazy.

@sanderson72 I tend to agree, although I don’t particularly dislike Jim but can’t say I have a lot of affinity for him either, and I am willing to put the last weird year from PlayStation down to them fighting this.

But they need to start to up their game now somehow, I don’t know the answer but the Sony Brand bread and butter exclusives just don’t do it for me anymore. Last one really worth a damn in my view was Bloodborne and that was a third party dev. (Although, I am yet to pick up Gran Turismo 6.)

@get2sammyb 10 years is plenty of time for Sony to sink or swim
