Can confirm
Yes. That definitely happens. Make sure to get the wayward compass and find the map guy every time you go to a new area. That really helps.
Yes it is, and I would advise you to not look up too much initially. Entering each new territory and trying to get your bearings is parts of the experience. The only advice I would give is same as above, prioritize finding the map guy and make sure you've bought the map and quill from the shop in Dirtmouth and equip the compass, aka the strongest charm in the game. Enjoy the adventure!
Nothing like a scrap to digest that delicious toffee pudding.We spoke about this before didn't we? I'll be interested to see how you get on. I freaking loved 999
Yeah I think we did. Good to hear so. Looking forward to trying it out.
Haha, that's exactly how I felt about the first game. I can't ever remember feeling so detached from and annoyed by a main character and couldn't stand loads of the gibberish exposition. More than likely why I wont bother with this one either.Horizon Forbidden West is the equivalent of dating the most beautiful person that ever lived but then discovering that they won't stop talking...Endlessly. Endlessly. Talking.
I feel like i'm being really mean because there's a good story here and the gameplay is really fun but i'm so tired of these exposition dumps that go on and on: the way they're telling the story just kills the pace of the game for me. And you can't not talk in case you're missing vital plot info.
Giving this a break and moving on to Elden Ring in two and a half hours
I don't remember there being nearly as much talking in the first game but maybe my memory blocked it out. This one is a good game with fun combat but, man some of the exposition dumps have been brutal to get through.
Sounds like the same issue I had with God of War. At a certain point I just feel like I'm being treated like an idiot by the game.Horizon Forbidden West is the equivalent of dating the most beautiful person that ever lived but then discovering that they won't stop talking...Endlessly.

Yeah, actually it is. The contrast in story telling vs just ...well, lore, is interesting. I'm usually far more invested in the former but I have to say Elden Ring's lack of verbosity is very welcome.Sounds like the same issue I had with God of War.

Elden Ring is probably going to be the polar opposite experience
Hard to find a more satisfying sound effect then the throwing and return of that Axe.
I didn’t play any of the earlier titles from the PS2/PS3 Greek mythology era and only got into it when I played this most recent Norse one. Wish I’d actually played those earlier titles as I really enjoyed this one and can’t wait for the new Ragnarock one to be released.
You might want to still play them, they still play well enough and are great games for their time. Brill story.
As far as I know, the last gen versions of Cyberpunk are still a disaster. Check digital foundry for the latest. As for the game, the setting is GTA in blade runner, yes but remember it's an RPG first and foremost and not a shooter.
Been playing it recently, and I am really not enjoying it, doesn't really feel like a shooter as much as a Devil May Cry style pattern fighter where you are constantly farming the enemies for ammo and health. That gets tedious fast with every fight feeling very similar.
Same, I've played it some more since that post, and it's just a real grind, killing a couple of guys and immediately being out of resources. Those massive spider things take a few rounds of scavenging to kill too. It feels like a real fluke whenever I clear an area of bad guys.
The ammo is really no issue at all once you learn how to play the game. The game has a learning curve but once you get the hang of it is a blast.
The Mrs says Shadow of War, and she's done them all. That's as helpful as I can be on that!
Nice ! Thats the one I'm leaning towards. I loved Yakuza 0 but the others in the franchise seem a step below. And judgment isn't on much of a deal anyway. Plus spiritfairer seems a bit laborious gameplay loop wise.
She says "6 is ok, Judgement is better though but none will compare to 0 for you now. Shadow of War is definitely the best bargain as it's fun to play and will last you a fair while".
0 was just fantastic. I hope SoW doesn't end up feeling like a button mashing drag. And I'm not to your extreme but if a game doesn't excite me I do switch. Given I didn't play the 1st game, this should be fresh and interesting for me.She says "6 is ok, Judgement is better though but none will compare to 0 for you now.

I trust her judgement on these things, she completes everything she plays whilst I'm out here resetting every couple of hours then ultimately getting bored
Did you get around to them? (Nonary Games).
Spiritfarer was great. Very different to the other games listed. Very chilled out. Well worth a playthrough at some point.
Seems to be highly rated. But after Subnautica Below Zero (which like the original is fantastic) I think a change of pace is in order. Will probably try in the future.
Yeah I finished 999 the other day. It's pretty good. Enjoyed the puzzles. The dialogue parts are annoying about how dumb they talk. They talk as if they are explaining to a 4 year old. The story was good with the twist and turns. I'm a bit burnt out at the moment from the puzzles. I started VLR 2 days ago and got 4 hours into it. Put the PS5 in rest mode and somehow the PS shut off completely after I came back an hour later. Had to restart the damn thing again. So I fast forward through the whole thing and got 3 hours further....I turned it off to go to bed. I forgot to save the damn thing again!
