Great choice. If you’re into it play it with Japanese voice and subs. With the PS5 version they added full Japanese lip sync where the PS4 was just a dub. The Japanese VA who does Jin is superb.

I’m 2 hours in. Don’t think it’s for me. Slashing up mongols is pretty cool to start and I love the stand off but I think I’m a bit bored of it already. Block dodge counter, repeat 20 times. Get on the horse, follow the wind, kill some mongols. Get back on the horse. Kill more mongols.

Cyberpunk is much improved and I loved my PS5 play through earlier this year. It’s a beautiful game. Still the odd bug here and there but more comedy than game breaking. It’ll probably go into my must play once a year games. So good now. I’ll grab the dlc happily when it releases.

I've been waiting all year for the upcoming major update before finally starting CP2077, they still haven't provided a firm date for it but it'll have to be either just before the DLC releases later this month or at the same time.

Finished AC Origins then Odyssey and currently making my way through Valhalla. It’s much better than I remember. Think I just blasted through the story as quickly as I could when it released. Taking my time now just 100% clearing each county before I move to another. Some of the side quests are hilarious as is the flyting. Loving it.

I couldn't get into AC Origins but started Odyssey a few weeks back and I'm addicted to it, clocked up so many hours on it now and as above instead of just going through the main story I've been enjoying all the side missions.

Really wanting to try Starfield although I'm hoping to finish Origins first.

Loving Sekiro still but the difficulty is increasing immensely, managed to get to the Corrupted Monk and just getting one shotted, just cant seem to get any kind of rhythm going. Also it is starting to feel like its just mini boss after mini boss after mini boss, this is going to take some serious dedication to complete!

It's mad how I keep replaying old games instead of newer stuff. Last night, I was trying to decide over Stardew Valley (played multiple times) or God of War (never played). And I started playing Stardew Valley. I've got both God of War and Ragnarok sitting on the SSD gathering virtual dust but I can't bring myself to actually play them for some weird reason.

Other than the final boss - the corrupted monk was one of the hardest bosses for me - the timings are just weird with that boss.

Demon's Souls and forced myself back into Ghost of Tsushima because there's not much else on Plus I want to play now.

I've been playing slay the spire for the last few days, it's such a good little indie deck building game

Plainsong · 17 Sep 2023 at 10:12

Yeah it is great when you get a decent run. Not great when you get slapped! I have it on the Switch it’s an awesome little game.

Bigpig · 17 Sep 2023 at 10:34

Went back to RDR2 yesterday. I really need to finish it, got straight into it on launch day and hardly bothered with it since. Story progress only sitting at 33% though so a long way to go. Remembering the buttons the hardest part!!

Same. Wish Arthur was a little less “heavy and sluggish” at controlling though. Certainly makes it feel like a GTA skin/mod. Amazing story though.

Finally managed to get him! :eek:

Definitely one of the hardest bosses, what an actual relief - the satisfaction is off the scale

I am now facing Genichiro, is he the final boss? it feels like i might be, but unsure

Going to play Baldurs Gate 3 after Sekiro, but really want to finish it first

No he isn’t. He was my wall and I have never been back!

No he isn't, far from it

Also, you can't beat all of the bosses on a single playthrough.

Well that doesnt bode well! He is tricky but going to give him a jolly good go!

Just looking to complete the mandatory bosses and story really now!

Genichiro is a skillcheck sort of boss to see whether you understand the mechanics of the game, if you can beat him you'll most likely be able to complete it

Don't be like that, you know you want to beat everyone and see all the endings

"Hesitation is defeat"

See, even bosses explain the mechanics with their lines
