    I need to commit to finishing Final Fantasy VII. It's been on the shelf (digitally) for too long.

    Apparently WWE2k20 is such a mess it shuts down if you try to play it with a system date this year. The fix is just to change your system date to yesterday.

    I knew it was a buggy piece of nonsense, but that's a different level of shambolic.

    Ah, the old "millenium plus two decades bug" we were all shitting ourselves about.

    Good work, 2K.

    Nope. I'm sick of seeing Midgar. I don't want a game that is entirely that and then to wait for 2-3 more instalments to finish the story out.

    Can you explain what happens? I stopped before there's some sort of split in the game? It's been out for a year and everyone still walks around it.

    Are you only battling after that? Does it change how the game works etc?

    There are some story twists (which I can tell you if you want) but the mechanics of the game remain the same: spend a month doing mostly dull stuff and then have a battle of sorts.

    I enjoyed the battles quite a lot for some reason, even though they are quite simplistic, ultimately.

    So I was about 22 hours on Fallen Order without having 100%ed every planet. I liked it very much. Young Blando isn't as much of a useless, pasty-faced ginge as I expected either. Still no need for such a generic protagonist but he's alright in the end.

    The Goose Game is daft but fun. Who knew that so much satisfaction could be derived from stealing a gardener's hat and running away to a lake with it, honking like a bastard.

    From the box of stickers I bought. I usually get over 100 duplicates from the 500, but after sticking them in the collection. I only have less than 30. Over to swapstick now.

    It will forever amaze me how developers actually go out of their way to make things in their games worse from one iteration to the next.

    I like Rivals mode in Forza games and I picked up Motorsport 7 in a sale recently, lo and behold this allows you to do laps and simply loads the next ghost once you beat the last one. Contrast that with Horizon 4 where you have to exit and re-load every time you want to get a new target time/ghost. Well done lads, time well spent.

    I'm currently stuck though. I can't get through the racist maori guy or get the body down. Because I only have one health I've had to use all my healing and so I'm not quite sure what to do.

    I've nailed my character archetype though on how I'm playing him, he's a doofus that thinks of himself as a rockstar excitedly claiming he's found the solution only when he's been told it by other people. I'm going to be constantly intrigued by the electrochemistry (drug taking stuff) but stop just short of saying yes.

    I might restart if there's some stats/thoughts you can recommend.

    I went

    Intellect:2
    Psyche: 4
    Physique: 1
    Motorics: 5

    with a specialisation in Inland Empire.

    Yeah in the early stages you are largely staggering from one disaster to another.

    I think on my next playthrough I might go full into electrochemistry and see how it goes when you add (more) substance addiction into the chaos.

    Some of the checks you can retry, others will become available if you level up that attribute. I've no idea if it's possible to properly get stuck. If you have literally no options and you've explored all of that first area and had every conversation it might be worth killing time (read your case notes if you've got those, or find books to read which passes time) and see if stuff changes with other characters or if Kim will help you out.

    Started on the first Witcher but I think I might just skip ahead to the third.

    The camera is way too sensitive (even at it's lowest setting) and the combat is pretty shit.

    If you do persevere Mahow the best advice I can give is that when you get to the bit where you're traipsing between Vizima and the swamp / tower just make sure you've done everything you can in one part before going back to the other to reduce how much trudging you so.

    It can be a bit of a grind though so there's nowt wrong with reading the plot or watching a video summary and going straight onto 2

    The first has pacing issues at the start and hasn't aged well.

    The second is excellent. I've probably rambled on about this before here but I still think it was fucking ballsy to have two separate second acts that most players will only ever see one of depending on a decision at the end of act 1. The thing with the second is that it's a very obvious middle step towards eventually doing the big, polished (mostly) open world of Witcher 3. Especially in the decisions and humour of some of the quests you're doing.

    It's very good.

    OK so I'm a bit into Witcher 3 now, have reached level 16 and am messing about in Novigrad looking for Dandelion.

    I'm starting to feel very lost though. I've not even explored half of the map i Velen / Novigrad and the game seems to almost insist I go somewhere called Skellige and I'm stumbling across some quests that are for level 6 (useless) and some that are for like level 25 and 30 etc which is way too hard for me and I just do not really know how to approach the game anymore now, so I'm mostly just playing Gwent (which I mostly lose at as well).

    I need some handholding.

    Do the low-level quests anyway just because they tend to have good writing. I wouldn't worry about Skellige yet, the game tends to let you know the big story quests earlier than you need them as I recall and I don't think you'll be levelled enough for Skellige yet. I think I just went to any quest boards I found and then made sure to work through my quests lowest level up. Obviously you're going to coast that level 6 one say.

    But as I said the writing / story for even side-quests can be really good and some of them lead to bigger things.

    Hearts of Stone is level 30 or something anyway and Blood and Wine is definitely one to do after. I'd do both after.

    I played the tutorial of Witcher 2 today and I'll play through it before 3 for sure.

    Got battered in the tutorial fight despite my great plan. I set up every single trap I had then triggered the fight, I then decided to lob a bomb at the first guy despite him moving towards my traps.

    The bomb fell short, triggered every single trap and failed to kill the first guy. I did finish him off but the next two then came out and I forgot all about the glyphs and they battered me.

    This is going way back a bit time-wise, but spend the early game "Witcher-ing" rather than worrying about the story. Build up your skills and gear a bit. You can take out a few of the enemies above your level but it tends to be fairly accurate with the comparative ratings of you versus them.

    It's insane watching Zallard and Sinister batter Mike Tyson's Punch-Out blindfolded sharing 1 controller. Either of them doing something mental is always a great watch on GDQs.

    Also really liked the Fallout 4 (it was the Anthology but I only watched 4) run which was madness for all the glitches/warps.

    Further to this you can draw out the challenge of some stuff that's a little beneath your level by refusing to take any of the idiotic-looking gear like I did.

    I saw my first candy-striped, puffy-sleeved garment and gave it a firm Nope. Just work towards the collected armour sets.

    I have found the Griffin armour and the Cat/Feline armour and I'm donning the last one but it makes Geralt look like some sort of flamboyant pirate.

    The Griffin one is about the same but only level 11 compared to 17, so.

    Feline, Ursine, Wolven and Manticore all look the business. And I think between them they cover whichever playstyle you're wanting to go for so it's all good.

    I went for Wolven.

    I see Feline looks a lot better when it gets upgraded, so I'll probably go for that. I basically so far have just maxed out my Light attacks and just spam that in every fight.

    My problem when playing is I only have maybe 1-2hrs per day, if that, to play. If I do too much "exploring" it sort of ends up feeling like a "lost session" if that makes sense. So what I try to do every time is do one side-quest or treasure hunt, clear a few question marks, play 2-3 rounds of Gwent and then spend the last 30 mins before bed (which quite easily turns into 90 mins tho) advancing the main quest.

    I'm not at level 17 and the game keeps telling me to go to Skellige but I'm seemingly not done in Novigrad yet.

    Is there a point in going back and fourth?

    There are some quests at higher levels that will take you back to previous areas and whatnot. Broadly speaking, as I recall, you can gather up all the quests in an area and clear most of them out and move on.

    But some quests in Velen / Novigrad are for like level 24? Won't I be way over-levelled when getting to Skellige then?

    I should do all the quests of your level in an area. They're spread out in a way that I think they want you to be mooching about and revisiting places. Sometimes you'll pick up quests that are way too high and you won't be able to do so don't even worry about them until you're the appropriate level and others you'll pick up that you've levelled past but are worth battering through anyway because they're good little nuggets of story and Witchering.

    As Raoul said though I wouldn't worry too much about the main story all the time. If it wants you to go to Skellige now but you've got stuff to do that's at or below your level then feel free to finish that up first.

    Yeah I guess so. I mainly feel I haven't explored all that much of the map, only mostly the north-western parts. I went down south beneath the big lake once but immediately ran into some level 23 Ghouls or something so fucked back off.

    The east side I have hardly been to at all past that Bog.

    If there's areas you haven't been to I wouldn't fret, I'm pretty sure that sooner or later the game takes you everywhere and then obviously once you've done a bit you can explore the surrounds.
