I was enjoying Plague Tale, but now I’m at a part (Chapter 16) where guards are coming from in front of and behind you, while others are firing arrows. All of them can kill you in one hit, and the aiming mechanics are horrible, and if you miss any of them you don’t get a second chance to hit them.

I’ll try again tomorrow, but I may be ragequitting this one.

Seriously though, its cool that you know someone involved with the game. I've been a big fan of Ember Lab since the Majora's Mask video they did five years ago and Kena looks stunning. Hope they transition well to making games. The bits I've seen look great bar minor things like lack of idle animation for the main character.
Yeah it's pretty cool.

He posted this before saying he did the set dressing. Not 100% on what it means but he's essentially a 3D environment artist.

Shame you can't change the colour on the light of the PS5. Bit stupid you advertise blue lights on it only to be white most of the time.

I started playing Doom, and wow, this brings back memories. I'm just in the first couple of missions, but it's so reminiscent of the 90s Doom. This is the kind of game I love, no story, no drama, just keep shooting and slaying demons!

Yeah, really good game. I keep meaning to go back and finish it.

I still enjoy playing the 90’s one.

Jeff Grubb (on his Giant Bomb show) has heard rumblings, not definitely (but more than when he just speculates or make predictions), that State of Play in September and Horizon: FW is getting delayed to 2022.

2022 is looking more and more stacked with big releases.

That’s easily the worst bit in the whole game. I did it okay the first time around but on my platinum run I literally died 20 times at that part and nearly lost the will to live. What I would say Is there’s a powerful moment right after that bit so worth pushing on and you aren’t too far from the end.

I got through it last night. The one that puts them to sleep really helps if you miss them as they’re coming towards you.

Just need to go back and power up the equipment for the platinum.

:lol: Thanks for showing it us anyway
No problem. Despite there being a ‘lot’ of changes it all feels pretty much the same. Lack of folders and themes is still a big miss for me so hopefully they’ll patch those in in the future at some point. Still feels clunky to use and everything seems to take one button more than it should.

I’ve decided to buy all the dark souls in the sale this month. I might not tackle them straight away but I will give them a go. Can’t call myself a true gamer unless I can get through them.

I did the same and got all the Soulsborne games, including Sekiro. Apparently the Nioh series are another which have similar mechanics as well.

Nice! I hated it on my first attempt but went back to it a few years later and it's now one of my fave PS4 games

Surprised there's been no proper PS5 update for it.
It is bloody hard. Doesn't hold your hand in any way shape or form, so I'm just playing it with the aid of the Youtube playthrough atm. Very early stages right now though. Haven't really beaten anyone of any note just yet. Keep on getting killed in central Yehravan when there's about 4 of those random zombies/ghouls who are unrelenting, and then if I get past those it's that random monster who seems to have my number atm.
