Games you're playing, and games...

Picked up the new Arma game on PS5, played it with a mate last night - really good fun, janky at times though; and they don't seem to have implemented an easy way to squad up.

Played a bit of the PVE and my god! I don't think I've ever experienced enemy AI like this - they are proper solid, and use tactics to locate and eliminate you, it's almost like you're playing against real soldiers.

I tried to engage a small base, and it didn't go well, so I had a tactical retreat - was legging it for ages and went a few miles away to a safe house; not long later, a squad of enemy troops start to encircle the building - I guess they had tacked me there :eek:

Been trying to get into Alien Dark Decent since it was free with PS+ but can't help feel that this game really needs a keyboard and mouse and a control pad is just a subpar experience.

I managed it OK. I just made sure I changed the setting that lets you put the game into pause mode (rather than slow mode) when you bring up the skills bar. I will say there were times when the controller did just stop responding though and I had to use a mouse to click a button to advance a screen but then it would work again.

Pikmin 4. My first Pikmin game apart from the demo of 3. I am loving it. I don’t get to use my Switch much but I’m on holiday so thought I’d treat myself of a new game for when we are on the go or downtime in hotels.
 
10 hours in to Unicorn Overlord on PS5 and loving it. Absolute ****loads of recruitable characters and classes, tactical and strategy options as hands off or as complex as you want. Stuffed with your classic JRPG waifus with their comedy boobs, which is great as I can't get enough of comedy boobs on my JPRG waifus. Similar premise as your Fire Emblem/Symphony of War type tactics with really quite beautiful artwork and animation. Highly recommend if you are in to this sort of game.

Unicorn Overlord is in my top 3 games of 2024. Had huge fun with it ; love the art style. Ended up getting the platinum trophy after ~100 hours playthrough.
 
I'm going for full completion of Ghost of Tsushima, now just finishing up the last few ?'s and liberating the last part of the map. Then I've got Project Zomboid or possibly looking at the update of Dave the Diver on the 'next' list.
 
Finished Control last week. Combat was fun especially when levelled up. The story was actually quite interesting although I don't think the execution was that great.

AC Odyssey is the next one on my list.

Started RDR2 again last night - man that games NEEDS a 60fps patch so badly, as it's just criminal leaving such an incredible looking game running at whatever FPS it is now. TBF, my eyes tuned into it after 20 or 30 minutes.

What a game though! YEE HAWWWWW :D

Eh? The PC version runs at least 60FPS? Its just the consoles that are locked to 30.. :(: EDIT... Apologies i thought this was a PC Game thread.. lol What an idiot.. Yes, 100000% it does need a 60fps or better patch preferably on the PS5Pro but i cant see it happening.. :(

I've been trying to get into Dying Light 2 as I'm a big fan of the first game and its DLC's as I played it heavily back in the day with an OTT leveled character by the time I put it down. I am truly struggling to enjoy DL2 after 10hrs played.

Combat feels very finicky and I am finding it difficult to enjoy traversing the city let alone fighting human npcs who just block all the time. The quests are generic go here and there quests and the night quests are really tough going so I am avoiding those as they're obviously setup to put me in a difficult situation vs Volitiles or something.

I've managed to get stuck on a lot of terrain including trees and hiding in the bushes doesn't really stop me from being detected so it seems to be a rubbish feature unless I am using it wrong.

In general I cba with the game but I still want to play it.

I would wait until The Beast becomes available. I have played the main campaign through and it does start slow and there are spates of inconsistent story pacing but it does get a bit better. I think its actually marred by some of the features that made it more of an open world game compared to the original.

Couple of hours into Indian Jones. Still running about in Rome. It's ok, think I'd feel a little disappointed had I bought it full price and it wasn't on gamepass. It's not been too taxing, AI are so dumb, as someone said above its very much like an interactive movie. Feel it would have been better in third person though.
 
Got the rest of this and next week off so bought Unicorn Overlord. Played the demo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to diving in

Edit. Got KCD too but sort of hoping it gets a 60fps patch before starting.

Finally started the new Astrobot and I'm 20 minutes in and it's already my game of the year. The creativity and care this studio puts into their games I've only ever seen from first party Nintendo titles.

Haven't played it yet but looking forward to it. Looks cracking.
