What are you playing at the moment?

Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Really really enjoyed the first four games (upto and including Revelations) i had a couple goes at 3 but it wasn't for me.

So started again here, in ancient Greece. So far so good (about 8hours in)

I checked out the three free PS Plus games and yet again none of them are worth playing. Wish they’d cater for the likes of me more.

What is it with console games with deliberately shoddy/cartoon/manga graphics?
Technology has moved on!
They’re still making 2D platform games ffs!

Had a quick go on Dirt 5. Seems like decent fun.

Really liked this, especially "Kurosawa mode" but really wish they'd avoided doing the whole "fill the map full of icons" thing. So many different things to collect, does my head in. Combat is great, looks amazing, like the "follow the wind" thing but just ruined by your tunic vibrating every ten seconds to tell you to follow a fucking bird or collect a banner.

Always fascinates me how people see the same thing so differently. Also, possibly settings. I'm either not noticing the tunic thing, or being protected from it by setting it to look for particular things.

Either way, I'm so busy writing Haiku or taking a bath (nice buns!) or whatnot - when I'm not slaughtering the Mongol scum obvs - that I haven't been annoyed by anything. It's like RDR2's Japanese Cousin - way more thoughtful, massively less arrogant and not full of whiny fucking yanks.

I really love it. Put in over 30 hours and still have about a quarter of the lower island to do.

There have been some really good 2D platformers over recent years.

Yeah I really like most of it. Just tedious that when you try to do anything you end up spending all your time going through some bins or following a woodland animal to get 1/20th of the way to a minor charm. Have you not noticed all the birds flapping about? :D I just don't know what all of that adds, they've had to put in a vibrating tunic to help you find all the millions of things they've hidden all around the game. That's mental. Just don't hide all the things, keep the rest of it and lose the mad tunic. Perfect.

Yeah, but the birds are generally heading where I was going anyway, or I just fucking ignore them because I'm busy doing something else. You know that you don't have to follow them, right? :D

Also, I ❤️ the foxes.

And the vibrating tunic ... I really don't get it that often and when I do, it's useful. Maybe because I haven't upgraded the travellers gear? Whatever is going on, I am not getting as annoyed as you did :D

(Also the map really doesn't seem cluttered to me ... have they maybe patched it since you played?)

Nah, just me wandering around. It does include the extra DLC though. Which are pretty good.

I'm quite enjoying it, will definitely play all the way through, might have a look at the DLC if i rinse the game as much as you appear to have.
 
I've just started with Cyber Punk. I've owned it for about a year but couldn't bring myself to play it because it was a game my partner talked about loads - was very excited about - but died before it came out. It's just now that i feel i can play the game without it making me feel all kinds of shitty.

There are 433 collectible locations on the base map (not including bamboo and stuff) . I might see how that compares to something like Valhalla, it might just be me noticing it more than normal I guess? That seems like a lot to me.

Apparently once you clear the story the locations of all this stuff is marked on the map, maybe that means I can just forget about it until then and enjoy the game. :D
 
I've been spending my time playing "slice and dice", which is on Android and apple. Fiver. Dice rolling game, you see what the enemies are going to do (as per into the breach) and then try to mitigate that with your rolls. Different character types, progression, abilities, curses, lots of game modes. It's really good. Bit like Hoplite or Dicey Dungeons. It gets more interesting as you increase the difficulty.

Oh, looks like it is also on itch.io.

Wasteland 3 again because the stupid Macbook Pro doesn't have any games for it. W3 is bloody great too, tbf. Plus I have all the DLC now, which I haven't played yet. Also, there's always a play through being a Toaster technician and a Kiss Ass with full Nerd Skills.

It's PC as well, and on offer on Epic.
I really fancied it until reviews came out - not bad but could have been much better is the general consensus. Enemies both bullet spongey yet stupid

Funny about the reviews because I do believe that was how Prey was reviewed too. I bloody love Prey.

I've just bought Slice and Dice tommers. It is bloody great, cheers!

Will check this out.
 
The epic launcher is the most annoying piece of shit. Its a long time since I got genuinely angry at a piece of software but its so pointless and shit. Just fucking accept the dominance of steam like we all have to.
 
2k have one now too don't they? Why these companies think we all want their individual launchers sucking up memory I don't know and they are all clunky as shit.

I'd rather not have to use steam too, but do find it pretty easy to use.
 
I've got so many launchers now it's getting silly. Out of all them I'd say the XBox app is the worse. Steam is a hundred times better than all of them.
 
I just wish Steam let you trade reward points for games. I've got thousands and thousands of useless points cos they want it to be social mediary
