I do agree that the new Series S is nice. Glad to see them listening about the extra storage. I’m personally happy with the white one as it looks very nice and the storage is still pretty good, especially when I get cloud play through Ultimate so don’t need to download so many games.

I think this is how I feel about it.

It’s good to see such a wide variety of games in the pipeline, but they won’t be out for a while. However, I prefer this to not really having a clue what is coming. It makes the future of the console feel a lot better and actually gives you something to look forward to. I feel Sony’s showcase would have been received a lot better if they simply showed a few more games, even if they weren’t out for a while.

And upon looking at Starfield information a bit more, definitely looking forward to that one. With the delays and the fact they are releasing some editions 5 days early, I do hope they actually launch with little or no bugs, but who knows anymore.

At least it’s on game pass. Much easier to try out a game for whatever you pay for game pass than Ā£60+ on a game you don’t even like, especially for digital editions on the Series S.

This is good to hear. Doubt they’d brag about having fewer bugs if they weren’t sure that the game didn’t have that many (but again, can never be too confident anymore about bugs not being in games).

If a company wanted to hedge their bets, they could always advertise ā€œFewer bugs than Cyberpunk 2077!ā€ :grin:

Ubisoft also had their presentation today

I’m interested in most of the games so looking forward to them! This also makes Ubisoft+ seem better value with so many day one (and at least one early access) games coming, especially when most of the editions on U+ include most of the DLC).

Hopefully you find many of the games better than expected with Game Pass. It’s definitely helped me explore games that I didn’t think I cared about.

Got the steam deck and it is good. Been mucking about a bit so far and setting things up. Got xcloud working but not played anything yet and was using chiaki on deck to stream PlayStation which worked really well. Don’t get the run of the tv for my games so this should hopefully open up lots of different options!

I’m playing horizon zero dawn via remote play, no point buying it again!

Ori was a chance for me and I loved it!

Cities Skyline 2! Incredible.

I love City Skylines (which beats all other city builder games by a country mile). I wonder what they’ll bring to 2. The graphics in this one look awesome. There’s nothing more rewarding than looking over the city you’ve built.

I’m still playing Diablo IV for now. It’s got mixed reviews which I don’t understand, I think it’s absolutely awesome. Best Diablo campaign so far.

I wanted to love Octopath, just felt a little too slow for me.

Octopath traveller… I wanted to love that, but I just didn’t either. I still don’t know why, it felt sort of slow and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do the whole time. I didn’t love the art style as much as everyone else seemed to either. I never finished it and probably never will.

Exactly this, which slowed the pace of the game and story.

Horizon Forbidden West did me dirty, played the game great, both exceeded expectations, and I flew through them as well as many side missions etc.

Cannot complete the final boss as I’m not levelled enough, but blitzed everything else. Means I need to spend hours grinding etc just to finish the last boss. I’ll pass, which is a shame, but don’t make the bulk easy then make it near impossible to finish.

I agree, options are good. I personally higher difficulty in general. But even then, if I hit a bit that I can’t do I want to put the difficulty down one notch, complete it and move on or it stops being fun. I did that twice in Diablo, it just meant I needed to work on my build a bit which I did while progressing through the story and before the next boss.

I suppose the other option is often just to find a friend to help!

I had to stop listening to this about 4 seconds in because he was a bit shouty :sweat_smile:. But the gist is they’ve paywalled off some vehicles after years? Odd move for such an old game!

Well this pains me, as I’m in day 2 of 4 at work, and working 12-11 the next two days :sob:

Amazon special comes with the patches, and a weapon and some other bits on download.
