Yes. It's quite dramatic so far. I went for one above easiest and find myself being killed more then I was expecting. I don't mind playing on my PC, just thought it would be nice on the OLED occasionally. Maybe I'll look at some kind of local streaming solution when I've a graphics card.
Out of interest is anyone playing on an ultrawide? I'm quite tempted by the idea of a 32", the prices seem to be falling a bit. Seems to need a bit more ummmph then 1400p, but not as much as 4k. And I'm sure it will help RDP sessions when working from home

Finished Detroit Become Human. Bit gut wrenching at times.
Brilliant little game though.

Yeh, i jibbed that one off after 4/5 hours of play, bit dull innit?Metro Exodus. Nice to look at but gameplay is boring. I'll finish it, but I'm not enjoying it.
Downloaded Sifu the other week, completed on easy mode after trying for a day on normal, now playing on normal and feeling like i can complete it. Fuck playing it on hard though.

Busta Rhymes is an unstoppable movement
I can't get past the artist. But I'm done with Elden Ring and just finished Warhammer Daemon Hunters, which were both fucking long, so might focus on this next.

I liked that too, played on the kids recommendation. Found the pace good and story engaging, would recommend too

Starfield looks like it has the potential to he fun. And a huge time sink. Why am I so drawn to games like this when I have so little time for gaming.

Assasins Valhalla - fun if repetitive and just at the point now where I really just want to finish the main story. Main character's voice sounds a bit like David Cameron and tbh the character is a bit of a pompous prick. Can't be arsed with most of the puzzles but the searching for stuff and combat and skills is ok . Disappointing that the dialogue choice episodes don't seem to have any if much effect on the main story ( I had an affair with my brothers missus but so far there hasn't been any fallout, to be honest I don't think he's copped on to it). I suppose once you've played Red Dead 2 the story line and character development heights will never be scaled again and Far Cry has a better sense of humour.

Old World
I was hankering for a Civ4 replacement after the awfulness of Civ5 and 6 and for my sins I got one with all the issues that entails

Once you tire of lopping off heads, the game is pretty much done. I liked the idea of the raids sub-game, but it's just too shallow. I much preferred Odyssey.
QueenOfGoths
Fuck you Dave!
I've just finished the main story, more or less, and am now doing various side missions.
Though I'm not jumping across rooftops to capture bits of paper, fuck that, I'm in it for the fighting with big axes and orlog!!

Definitely want to get this at some point. Did you try humankind?

I did a demo of Humankind but it didn’t quite grip me, might just be due to the turn limits on it. I’ll probably give it a go again when it gets cheaper.
The devs of Old World are super engaged on discord and discussion channels which is nice

Yeah I wasn't convinced by the things that I saw. It was on game pass when I had it but I never got around to it, but I might try it again one day. Definitely will pick up old world.

I've just been sat here digesting the loss of at least many hours, if not several days' worth of play time. I had a beautiful multi-block nuclear reactor constructed in the basement of a vast tower that had previously been filled with monster spawners and environmental hazards. Connecting this reactor to 3x3 array of fully-upgraded water pumps was an intricate manifold of highest-tier fluid pipes, steam tubes and energy cables that I took several days to meticulously lay down.
It was all going so well at first. I had a uranium hexafluoride production line feeding a centrifuge keeping the reactor topped up with fissile fuel, the pipes and coolant reservoirs were fully set up and at 100% capacity, so I decided that now was the time to finally activate the reactor, and drag the lonely wilderness of modded Minecraft kicking and screaming into the Atomic Age. I played around with the fuel burning rate a bit, before deciding to leave it at a nice and minimal 0.1mB per tick. I observed the reactor temperature for a few minutes, and noted that it was holding steady. My dedicated work in constructing this nuclear marvel had lead me to believe that I had acquired mastery over the power of the atom and so, heedless of my ignorance, I went off to do some side tasks around my base.
Nature, of course, punished me for this entirely unwarranted hubris.
My first awareness that I had aroused the wrath of the atomic Furies was when the screen went a shade of green. That was odd, I thought, I don't see any status effects active. At first this green mist was merely a minor visual hindrance, but when my suspicions drove me to check on the reactor, I was greeted with a devastating sight. The entire reactor assembly had disappeared, and in that moment I knew the height of my arrogance which had lead to the depth of this mistake. In a daze, I carelessly wandered over the site of the former reactor. Yes indeed it was entirely gone, this was no glitch or bug. I looked around and observed that the meltdown had taken five Ultimate Energy Cubes along with the reactor, along with a good chunk of connecting pipes and wires. Strangely enough, the walls and floor of the room had not been structurally compromised at all. At least I would be spared the chore of fixing that up.
It was at this point that nature's radiological anger at my careless stewardship really began to bite, and I started taking damage from the radiation poisoning. I fled to an older base, taking a hefty stack of hearty steaks with me, in order to keep my health up as the radiation ate away at it, like the cancer it would most likely give me in several decades. I didn't think to try drinking milk or an immunizer potion, so I just kept my face topped up with beef for ten minutes. Finally I decided it would be quicker and less cow-intensive to just die and respawn by my bed.
I've made a geiger counter, and will be walking back to the site of the meltdown in order to establish the extent of the radiologically hazardous area. Once that is complete I will gather whatever resources that can be safely recovered from the site and establish a camp nearby where I can wait for the place to cool off without further exposing myself, and rebuild the reactor and energy storage of my tower base. More importantly I will need to construct a mechanism which shuts off the to-be-newly-rebuilt reactor in order to prevent meltdowns. Otherwise the gameplay will become less Promethean and more Sisyphean.
TL;DR I done fucked up in modded Minecraft and destroyed a few days' work while despoiling the virtual environment

GFN now does 4k on PC. Sorted out the resolution issues connecting it to the PC, so some God of War on the OLED TV.

I quite like the combat on God of War (although I find it a bit hard) but the puzzles are shit. Really interiors the flow to work out what Im meant to be throwing my axe at this time.
Also after pissing around with the resolution for ages, I couldn't get my pad to pair with laptop. So gave up and played on PC.

I'm back on No Man's Sky - normal mode. Somehow less irritable with having to constantly get stuff to make the simplest things than when I tried it previously. Still not enamoured with the storytelling so I'm ignoring that at the moment and base building, which is a grind, but not a bad one. I've found a weird but attractive planet for it and I have a very fancy ship

Picked up Old World (Got a great Civ playthrough to finish first) and Red Dead 11 today. Not impressed that Red Dead is asking me to download the Rockstar launcher though. Fuckers no way around it seemingly unlike the Civ one I managed to work around.

NADINE Dorries never forgets the brave sacrifice of the heroic soldiers who gave their lives in the 11 world wars.

Just realised I own Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - think I got it free from Amazon Prime at some point - so downloading that to see if it's any better than Battlefront II.
