    I lolled when I read about people getting their knickers twisted up about a trans character. I only read about it after I'd finished it. Otherwise, I might have assumed they'd abandoned all pronouns and chucked JK Rowling in as the main antagonist.

    I'd have liked a bit more depth on the Seraphites (or whatever they were called), and a little less wandering about in fucking aquariums.

    The California gang too, unless they're planning DLC for that area it was just 'here's some new bad guys to kill' and that's it.

    It's the first Naughty Dog game I've looked at and realised there's no characters I care about. That's a bit shit considering they've been really good at building characters in Uncharted and The Last of Us.

    Loving Desperados 3. I reckon I spent about twenty minutes of one mission last night just watching all the routines of the NPCs in the next bit I had to do just to work out how best to proceed without kicking off a scrap. As these games (Commandos, Shadow Tactics, etc.) have always had it's a bit of a domino effect if you're taking everybody out. Once you manage to put some character skills together to prise open that first opening everything starts to fall into place.

    I feel like the voodoo lady isn't a little OP but we'll see how it goes as the missions go on.

    Bought Ghost with my FA cup winnings but taking forever to download from PSN despite me having superfast Virgin broadband which is annoying. Thought they had fixed the slow download issue.

    Had a couple of hours with it now and it is a beautiful game, enjoying how the combat has done me over a couple of times without feeling unfair. Like a hybrid of Tenchu and Breath of the Wild.

    It's a fantastic game. Up there with RDR2 for me. Definately a 10/10.

    Well, after a run to the final boss that ended in defeat, I have had the worst run luck in Dead Cells. I've got random starter gear unlocked which usually means I'm starting with low damage wank (Spartan boots - Great as anything other than a main weapon) or big damage sluggishness (Fuck the broadsword and the hammer).

    Xbox games showcase starting at 5pm. Going to have to be a good one to top the Sony one.

    Big rumour of the day is they're to announce Xbox Live going free.

    Desperados 3 finished. The final little standoff they do is excellent bar one small annoyance.

    I just want Mimimi to keep making this sort of game forever.

    Why would they voluntarily kill that revenue stream?

    Gamepass. And when there's enough on that, they'll bump the price on it.

    Also: Using a slow cover of X Gon' Give it to Ya for a trailer. Fucking hell.

    Looks like the rumours were bollocks then.

    Games wise, Halo looked good in it's more open world setting, whilst Fable will always interest. Beyond that I think the blue side has me more interested in the games so far.
    One thing that was massive is it seems all Xbox exclusives are now going to hit Gamepass on launch day. Halo included.

    Annoyingly though still no price and/or release date from either side.

    I think they're both hoping the other will make the first move regarding price so the other can slightly undercut.

    GamePass is properly good and seemingly going to keep getting better.
    Was a bit underwhelmed with the games though.

    Fatshark have some annoying practices and it'll be a shame if we're not getting new Vermintide but I'm curious about them doing something similar but in Warhammer 40k.

    With Desperados down I wanted to go for something quite different having done two tactics/strategy things quite recently so in the absence of some big beefy RPG I want to get into it's DOOM next.

    I’ve been playing Creature in the Well. It’s like a pinball game but you’re a hack and slash character. It’s very cool.

    Haven't ordered yet but I think these bits:
    https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zFKJK4

    May need a new PSU as well, I can't find the extra connectors that came with it so I'm not sure yet if my current one will be compatible with the new stuff but I can get one that'll do the job for a reasonable price if need be so not the end of the world.

    Started on Fallen Order today after signing up to Boomerang and it's alright so far.

    The Oggdo Bogdo (shit name, mate) is annoying. I think I failed 5 times before giving up but I will return and have his head. The smaller version, Bogdo, was also very annoying and in a place I did not expect. Died a couple of times but then I just ran past him and got high so I could fuck him up with a drop attack.

    The big toad things are just tanky. My issue as with many things in Fallen Order was initially wanting to rush through fights.

    Patience and getting your timing right is the way to go. Enjoyed the game, though the Xbox One S did struggle in battles.

    I keep getting lost.

    When I turned it off today I just didn't know which way to go or what to do and the map is pretty shit.

    Edit: Although having had time to think about it, I know what I need to do when I play tomorrow.

    The map IS garbage. Specifically that it doesn't give you more control to see what you're looking at.

    So apparently a load of Nintendo source code (Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Yoshi's Island, etc) got leaked.

    Flight simulator sounds like something I should be really into, but then when you actually try it you realize that you basically spend hours doing absolutely nothing.

    Yep. I can probably get what I want using the 'flight sim' in google maps but I sort of love how much procedure is involved in flight sims.

    Fallen Order needs some sort of fast travel back to the ship because it's a fucking mission it itself attempting to find you way back.

    I'm on Zeffo and I just turned the game off because I genuinely have no idea how to get back.

    I kept looking at the map and thinking "Oh, this must be where I go" and when I got roughly there I either noticed I can't get further as what I need is on another level or it's actually taking me further away.

    I never had that much trouble getting about but you're 100% right that they make the travel more of a chore than it needs to be, especially given when you do go through it's more of a chore than it needs to be.

    I've made a start on DOOM. I love the tempo of it. Making you survive fights by getting stuck into them even harder is a bit genius for getting you into the spirit of the Doomslayer.

    It feels like a proper video game instead of trying to simulate anything. Like, the meleeing/chainsawing things to get your health or ammo topped up doesn't "make sense", but it makes the game fun which is what ought to matter. All to big metal tunes.

    Reviews I've seen for the sequel are mixed where it adds a bunch of extra stuff (more jumping puzzles, etc.) and layers the story on a bit thicker and that basically while the shooting is still as good the other stuff takes away from the experience as a whole. I also saw it's about twice as long, whereas the ten hours-ish I will apparently get with Doom seem about right.

    Anyone played Dragon Quest XI? I downloaded it and have it lined up to play after I eventually manage to get through Red Dead Redemption 2.

    On the latter - it's REALLY dragging out. At the beginning I was really mesmerized by the whole world and spent time hunting and playing poker and what not. Now I'm at Chapter 7 and I'm basically just trying to get through the story. Which I managed to spoil completely for myself as well...

    Toggle Spoiler


    Still, I do want to finish the game before moving on...

    My understanding from spoiler-free stuff I've read is that RDR2 does what feels like a finish and then carries on doing more story for about another 700 hours.

    Yeah it's weird, when I save my game it says I've done 56% of the story only, but I've been playing for weeks now and it does feel like it's near the end.

    So, yeah.
