Impressions after 30 minutes: The bad: Performance mode is only 1080p and it looks terrible you can't rebind controls - who the fuck puts dodge on R2? the HUD is atrocious - way to much crap on screen The good: when you skip cutscenes or dialogue you get a short summary of what happens - that's awesome battles are fun - look, FFXVI, this is how it's done... Not going to play more as I will eventually get the full version, but as it stands now, this will not be a day-one game.

Hm...Golden Sun. I might actually fire these games up again on my Steam Deck. Could be nice talking to people about it here

Yup. Deleted it. Gonna give A Plague Tale: Innonce another chance now that the sequel is on PS+ now, too.

Incredible! That's all I can say. It was sooooo good!

Pff...making others do your dirty work? NO WAY. Sure, I'll share my thoughts

After two weeks of going out every night for one reason or another, today will be the first day/evening I'll spend at home. What better time to start playing a "new" game. After the absolute disappointment that was FFXVI, I decided to go with Eldest Souls. Added to PS+ Extra in October 2023, this is - unsurprisingly - a souls-like game And apparently it focuses on bosses. So far I've encountered two (and no other enemies) and the second one kicks my ass because I have to get used to dodging not cancelling animations...so far combat plays out like this: run around and memorize enemies' attacks wait for enemies' attacks to be over attack the enemy This could become boring very quickly...but I'm gonna keep going to see more of the game to make more of an informed decision on whether I'll continue playing

Demo will most likely release at midnight tonight. Time to fire up my PS5 after a bit of a hiatus

Started watching Fleabag last night after someone recommended it to me. It's hilarious. I got told that Andrew Scott will be in Season 2 and that he is amazing in it (as if he's not amazing in everything). Can't wait

Yeah, these memberships truly only make sense if you actually play a lot on your console of choice. But then they usually are worth the money (unless you subbed to PS+ Premium ).

People, you should buy longer USB-C cables But yeah, longer battery life is always better. Not necessary for me though, because I'm a cool guy who uses a LONG USB-C CABLE. Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up. That time limit always seemed like something to annoy me so it's nice to see it's a little more forgiving.

Wow...almost nothing for me Tiny Tina's Wonderland might be nice in co-op but other than that...meh

I thought it was a mock-up from a leak made in paint...

Looks like you lack what kids these days call "rizz" Haven't played games this year aside from the occasional run of Halls of Torment and Slay the Spire: Downfall before going to bed. My life's up in flames right now, but the good kind so my priorities are tipped to the non-gaming side Still: Both the games I mentioned are great and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Even though Halls of Torment is still in early access, it does offer a surprising amount of content (4 maps, 9 characters, lots of equipment and abilities). It's my favourite of all the bullet-heaven games I've played.

Why use the word "rejigger" when you could simply use "change"? Anyways, the Xbox brand is in a terrible place. I'd be surprised if Microsoft will keep it going for more than one more generation. I think next gen will be their last attempt, maybe even chance.

Maybe I should finally play it... *checks if it's on PS+* I've been disappointed again. I think it's up there with any JRPG ever!

And this is why I never expect anything. Haven't been disappointed in a long time. Well, aside from FFXVI and my love life. Ok. It doesn't work.

No need to thank me. I'd much rather read your posts than work

Decided to give up on the remaining side content and just finish it. FFXVI = wasted potential, the game Even though I played most of it in 2023, this will be on my 2024 list and I'd be surprised if any game gets a lower score from me... But hey, the music was good. Aside from that one fight

Gonna try to see more movies this year and will start with this one next Tuesday:

Slowdowns on my side as well. Been going on for quite some time now.

I won't have a lot of time for gaming once all these JRPGs start to get released...I might have time for one but it's probably not going to happen Current plan is to only buy FFVII: Rebirth and take release day + the following Friday off and blast through most of the game during the weekend This year's gonna be great

Yeah, I know. It's just not fun anymore I might just push through if over the next few days...
