I prefer linear games. I assume most people prefer open world. We get so many of them nowadays. I definitely suffer from open world fatigue when I play them back to back.

I love the idea of open world games until I open the map in the first area and see about 50 icons for things that need clearing... then area 2 opens up and there's 50 more... at which point I realise my mistake. The exception in recent times was Elden Ring - but that doesn't exactly have obvious quest markers etc
I'm the same. Markers just become a chore and while you're not exactly required to do them, there's an annoying voice in the back of my mind saying I could be missing out on important stuff if I don't.
I played Elden Ring for the first time the other day on PS5. Instantly fell in love with it. It's ridiculously perfect (although some of the stats and amount of items seems overwhelming). Too busy to get a PS5 at the moment but it'll be the first game I get when the time comes.
Same. I'm happy to play about 2 a year but no more. They start to feel horribly alike after a while.
Instantly turn the filler mission markers off is what I do. I find my favorite games have all been non-linear there's just something extra about not being led by a leash down certain options. Witcher as an example has superb side missions and if you converted them all into linear missions it would lose a lot of charm.
That said games like AC could learn that less is more because they really do make it tiresome.
Great game, I'm fast approaching 200 hours in... Should probably wrap it up soon as with the PSVR2 coming out I won't get much time.
Jheeze!
I just started this and I am struggling
any tips?I'll spoiler this in case anybody hasn't played it...I just started this and I am struggling
git gud
seems fair.Embrace dying. Explore a lot. Be patient when you are fighting.I just started this and I am struggling
Okay good, cos im dying a lot.
I hit some giant ballsacks in a pond and it summoned a dragon. 0/10 wouldn't recommend.
Wait til it gets difficultI just started this and I am struggling
I did 60 hours and never got good but
got stuck instead
Feck Souls games (was my fave tho)
It's pretty easy for a souls game tbf, my 10 year old boy is level 70+
I may dive back into Elden Ring, though I'll likely start all over again and this time I'll pace myself instead of diving head first into a battle with a giant b*stard tree fish...or something.
I struggled too. I thought it was such a stupid game with how hard it was. I had to basically grind for runes to level up my character to where I wasn't dying instantly. Then it get a lot more fun. It was my first souls game so I was ok with doing it my way rather than 'get gud'. I may have gotten overpowered to the point the main story was relatively easy, but I don't care. More enjoyable for me in the couple hours I get to play after the kids are down.I just started this and I am struggling
I'm a veteran of original demon's souls games and love the series. I'm a shameless summoner for bosses though because I just so rarely manage to beat them solo. Doesn't stop me enjoying the hell out of the games at all.
Nope, I'm entirely sick of open world mania.
Current setup, never really bothered with remote play until i treated myself to a new iPad it's how i've been playing recently as i'm away from home.
Seems very very temperamental, when it works though it's solid and you can totally enjoy a single player game.
Found a weird workaround for it not connecting to the PS5 over the web sometimes, just start a download from the Playstation app, when the PS5 wakes up to start the download connect to remote play, works everytime.
Is your ps5 WiFi or wired at home? Works better when it's using an ethernet cable.

Good point, i think it's wifi these days used to always be wired will change it when i get back home!
So I had a dream last night that I had a PS5 that'd sat literally unused for about a year up until somebody randomly gifted me a copy of GT7.
My first thought was wow, I completely forgot I owned that. The second was that I can now join the Redcafe GT7 crew.
Make of this what you will.

Connected my ps5 back to LAN yesterday and it's night and day difference for the remote play.
Totally forgot it was using wifi.

If you ever needed a proof of having an unhealthy obsession with something.
EA Sports PGA Tour 23 is out in March. First one in eight years. Promises to be going back to the one in 2012 when they did the Masters and the gameplay was brilliant.
I'll be getting it for sure. Thing the PGA tour 2k23 is great too though.
Don't like all the shite of putting spin on a ball mid air and boosts and shit though for this game, but hopefully I can turn all that off.
Mafia definitive edition - any good? On plus, wondering if I should give it a go.
Would be up for getting that and having a few rounds.
Obviously after we’ve finished Sniping!! Need to get back online and do that!
I finished it on Steam Deck at 30fps (like the PS version), and really enjoyed it. It's definitely worth a play but I 'spose a bit dated now to some regarding combat/driving (which is a plus for me to be honest).
Yeah, think we on last mission or close to, I'll probably pick up the DLC too as it's in sale iirc.
Nightshifts this week for me, but after that I'm good to go again
Thanks. I actually downloaded it earlier anyway as I had a quiet day ahead. Definitely it is outdated now. Graphics aren’t actually too bad. But the movement and driving and action game play is tedious. Nonetheless, the story seems engaging so far and has me interested in what’s happening next. Probably will stick with it given your endorsement too!
Sounds good - will be good to do the DLC too
Been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS5 and love how quick the loading shit is. Had a small operation and have been hanging while healing so I stole my sons PS5. Will be getting my own that's for sure.
Noob question. My cousin has a ps5 and he's coming to my house for a week. I have a ps4, will he be able to play his ps5 games on my machine logging in with his account?
Do you think we'll ever get a slim PS5? I fecking hate how big and ugly it is.
I think you can stream if he has remote play setup on his account, you won't be able to download his ps5 games onto the PS4 unless he has the edition where he has the PS4 version too
Completed the first island or 2 on AC odyssey, not impressed really. Story seems a bit meh so far, combat is pretty dreadful, the takedown stealth animations can be about 2 minutes long ffs. Lots of clutter too.
Took me about 10-15 hours to get into Valhalla so hoping the same here, if not I'll just drop it.
People saying this is the best AC game made me give it a go. Maybe just not my type of setting.

Both Odyssey and Valhalla are miles of being the best Assassins Creed games. Used to be miles better back in the day. Both okay but full of unnecessary clutter and far too big, so they both overstay their welcome. Having said that I do think the combat in Odyssey is better than Valhalla.
I think I preferred the first few games tbh, AC2 may have been one of the better ones.
