Anyone a genshin player, been trying to get into it but can't get to grips with the element stuff like the shields they use

I had done a little of my first town, then decided to go on an just complete the story an now I wished I had just left everything till the end like you DEFINITELY want to to get through the story first before decorating, trust me

I don’t have a switch 2 and really don’t feel I use my switch enough to justify buying one but I have such massive Pokopia FOMO

We will need a PS5?! That’s annoying!

Yes it's next gen only. Which I guess explains they the trailer looked so good haha. They probably didn't want to be constrained by the ps4s technology. Tbf ps5 has been out a while I've just not wanted one as have so many ps4 games still to play through

 

[Snippysnips]

They’re really amazing, I’ve used mine almost daily since I got it. Even if you do get smaller one, your games will backup to the cloud if you need to remove any for space.

I haven’t done it yet but you’ll be able to mod your Stardew on it too

Oh nice that's really cool, honestly I don't think I could go back to vanilla stardew anymore I've modded it so much on pc that it would feel weird without the mods

Does anyone else play my time at sandrock online? Decided to try the online version as it's also on gamepass, would like to open my game to get more people in as it's getting more time consuming to do the co-op builds, so just wondering if I do open it

Can they access my chests?
I know it's shared gols, can they spend them all? Or can I limit/put a block on it?
If they leave do they take whatever was on them with them? Or does it go into the public storage?
Can they pick what builds we are doing?

There doesn't seem to be much info online an the game really doesn't tell you a lot either, just don't want to open my game, have someone spend all the gols, fill their inventory full of stuff an choose builds that's going take forever then leave the game

I didn’t know you could play it online

I'd be interested if you could report back please!

So I enjoyed it. It takes a while to figure out how it all works but once you get I to it, it's good. I'll buy it. I don't think it will be for everyone though.

There's definitely some stuff to iron out before it's released. In some missions it's not clear at all what you're meant to do and prompts flash so quickly they are gone before you can read them properly.

A lot of similarities to Black Flag in terms of the sailing, naval combat. But the land based stuff was much more sparse and not as fun.

First time posting in this thread was excited to see the AC chat as a big fan. I started playing shadows yesterday and it has been quite glitchy annoyingly

Restarted my animal crossing island an honestly forgot just how chill it is, just been catching bugs an fish lol

It's such a great game!

Does anyone have young kids that game? My neice is 3 an right now she's obsessed with bee simulator as she can burst balloons an sting people on the butt (not part of the actual gameplay btw lol) so I was wondering what else is out there for the young ones, I have both game pass an ps premium, we tried some my little pony an for a while she was fine but I think it got a bit too repetitive with gathering stars

She doesn't get a lot of screen time so looking for games that don't have a ton of story attached to them an are more actual gameplay, I think she's still a way off from games like Minecraft an technically it's not her playing it's me but she thinks it's her lol

The bluey game is on Game Pass at the minute

 

[Snippysnips]

Is anyone else playing astro bot? I've gotten hooked on it, it's such a cute little game, I really enjoyed playing Astros playroom when I got my ps5, but the games even better, am honestly tempted to get the controller but don't know if it's only reactive to astro games or if other games have that built in as well

 

[Snippysnips]

I went back to wuthering waves an arknights for now wuwa just released their 3.1 update today an am trying 100% my areas in ark before their 1.2 update, I might go back to pokopia at the weekend, I have all the event stuff anyway for it

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

I think the same, it’s probably going to be a few more years until the next Animal Crossing is released. They only released the switch 2 version of new horizons this year, plus the AC dev team was busy working on Splatoon Raiders.

Speaking of special editions, I wish they’d made a ditto-themed switch 2 for Pokopia. I definitely would’ve caved and bought one!

I wonder if they might announce a Zelda special edition in tomorrow’s direct?

It’s already leaked! It looks pretty nice.

Anyone else seen Ananta? It looks amazing, 2026 release I think, will be interesting to see how it competes with GTA6, I'd imagine GTA will still dominate but I think Ananta might just give it some competition especially with being a free to play

 

[Anyauldnamewilldo]

Anyone know if there's any truth to Rebirth being available on Epic soon? I hope it's not just wild gossip hubby is a big FF fan [he bought the PS4 purely for the remake ] , and I've gone back and forth on buying the ps5 purely for rebirth but I can't justify it. If there's any truth behind epic getting the exclusive rights for pc I will be very happy.

Fucking outstanding work.

I am so tempted. Only thingis I’ve never played Pokémon! But I love animal crossing and Dragon Quest Builders

Same here. Only experience with Pokemon was the cartoon when I was about 10. Even still, so far it’s so good.
And huge!!!

 

[Snippysnips]

I‘m still on the “ This looks adorable and I love DQ Builders and ACNH but I’ve never played Pokemon and what if i hate it?“ bandwagon. I’m so indecisive. I drive myself mad.

Honestly it's nothing really like the pokomon games, it's more like ACNH, there's no having to go look for pokomon an then try an capture them, you just build their habitats an they show up then you talk to them an that's it, they are in your town then, even if you destroy their home they stay, they do strop about lol as mine are doing while I decorate but it's actually pretty relaxing

I've had a look on PS store and 3 is available but can't seem to find 2 anywhere

I know my other half definitely played the first 2 and it would have been on PlayStation of some format as we didn’t have an Xbox
