Does GoT get more interesting? I got to the point where there was forced stealth with your girly friend and gave up because I was bored outta my mind. Feels like an Assassin's Creed game from 5+ years ago. I like AC but would never play those again.

Are you talking about literally the first mission? You don't have to stealth much outside a few story missions. The combat owns.

No, later on when you meet up with her again and have to escort people through a village unseen. A few hours in.

The combat is good but the story didn't grab me so I lost interest.

Ah yeah fair enough. If you don't get wowed by the aesthetic and enjoy a pastiche of samurai bullshit I can see losing interest. You do get much more interesting abilities and stuff as it goes though.

I subbed to PC gamepass when it was like £4 per month but I'll probably cancel it now the price is doubling. It was cool for trying out some indie games and the occasional bigger game like CK3, but no way would I want it to be the main way I access my library of games.

Yeah I basically played all the Xbox games I'd missed since 360 and canned it. I might pick it up once or twice a year to play stuff I've missed or just don't want to buy.

I had a guy absolutely lose his loving mind because I took his declaration of “none of you f-words better get in that helicopter” in a GTA online mission as an obvious challenge to get in the helicopter, by waiting for him to get in then dragging him out and taking off before he could get up again.

Anything that upsets people like that whilst also removing them from the community is a net positive.

This was always my favourite battlefield player. You gently caress off in their tank or whatever and they sit in spawn screaming or mashing all caps waiting for the vehicle to die so they can take it lmao.

I feel like a USB-C cable hooked up to a fast charger near my couch is gonna render a lot of this discourse moot but what do I know.

One time my switch pro somehow ran out of demon sorcery so I just plugged it into the phone charger that's always next to the couch. I imagine I'll do that if the dual sense runs out on me.

Got to say I love the dual sense but I and currently battling it a little. The buttons feel spongy and the triggers are deeper than before or something. I don't notice it in demon's souls, but in spidey it's very apparent. Hopefully I'll just get used to it.

Apple TV+ looks great on my PS5 but Netflix and Disney+ both look really over-exposed and washed out and I have no idea why. Even just the UI. It’s not the main device I would use for them anyway, so I’m not too fussed, but it’s very odd

Disney+ doesn't do 4k on PlayStation for some reason. No idea about Netflix.

Nioh is an extremely fun game to master and I installed Nioh 2 remaster today. I'm actually electing to play a new game from scratch because I have no idea about builds or gear any more and will need to learn it. It's also going to be nice to play the story again and do the DLC I've had sitting there since I played it for a month or two at launch then put it down.

The advice of focusing on one thing then branching out is spot on. I automatically started playing and went "I will choose switchglaive because I have never used it and I'll select mid stance to learn first". Trip report: it's weird but I like it and I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do once I click back into the stance dance.

Asscreed 2 certainly made the setting work. Italy of the era had both beautiful architecture as well as a vibrant and colorful culture. Makes you wonder why more games don't use it instead of the far more generic Euromedieval Fantasy setting.

Will someone reassure me that, as someone who buys an Ubisoft open world game every few years and then promises to never do it again, Immortals isn't going to be the one that breaks the streak? It's only $30 on Amazon right now and I'm itching all over

I've been playing Immortals with my partner and we both love it. It's absolutely botw with ubi characteristics, but it's extremely fun, has some really cute cartoon mythology and is absolutely beautiful. I paid full price and don't regret it. It's not with out faults and some of the puzzle stuff can be frustrating due to physics stuff mainly, but it's nothing game breaking. We've been playing nearly every night after work and having a ball.

Tbh the corny e-peen swinging from Dark Souls players about never using a shield is probably part of why some people got annoyed with Dark Souls 3. There are a bunch of low poise enemies that do mega fast combos on you that become infinitely easier if you just pull the shield off your back for 2 seconds and let them run out of stamina hitting it.

It's just more fun to hit things with a two hander idk what this epeen is. Banging on about poise and efficiency seems more epeen than big stick fun.
