Video Games #2

Is anyone playing palworlds, it's on game pass an I am absolutely hooked on it lol, it's basically ark with Pokémon, it's amazing

 

[Snippysnips]

Sorry, yes; I meant GTA 6.
Then, I'm not sure I'm all that keen to play it online; I'll play the campaign (for want of a better expression) stuff for sure.
But GTA Online is chaotic right now so I might just stick to the single player stuff.

As for Xbox Prime, that's a dreadful title and brings up either Amazon or that dreadful energy drink...

Am just excited for a change, GTA5 has been out so long that am just bored with it now, only time I'll do online is a private server with friends, online always has been an I'd imagine will be with 6 crap with trolls, it's like SoT, you don't get to enjoy the game for others just making it their point to cause bother

I agree, prime is terrible, but again it could be it's code, I just hope when it does come out it's not another X like surely they have something better for its name lol

It’s taken me a while (as I was feeling overwhelmed with some other issues) but I finally got into Pokopia yesterday. Who keeps their town nice and tidy and who has an utter shambles like I do? . My partner says his is a mess too but I had some youtube on in the background this morning and she was all “let’s make a nice simple farm” I wish I had the patience

GTA 6 is allowing you to pre download the game from the 12th November, to be ready for the 19th. Presumably to avoid tens of millions of people all trying to download it at once.

I've been debating restarting my AC island for a few weeks also but I have too much stuff to lose I also love my current villagers

I had pretty much a full catalogue plus all the festival an holiday diys

On the plus I do have those amibo disk things I got off Etsy years ago so I'll at least get my favourite villagers again, my starter ones this time was moose an pashmino so those two are getting ditched asap

I’m also playing Resident evil requiem! Having a great time so far.

 

[RandomUser12345]

Thanks, I'll check them out! Never played any of those

The Mafia series is great too

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

Two Nintendo directs next week! One that’s specifically Zelda focused, and a general one.

I just think that would be getting too far away from the western genre for me if it was late 1880s early 1900s! We already have the mafia games (which I enjoy - mafia 2 is another of my favourite ever games)

Yes red dead 1 was set later than red dead 2. You mainly play as John Marston and are sent to find the old gang so you meet Dutch, Uncle and a few of the other characters from RDR2 etc

The native American plot sounds good. Like you said anyways that's probably another 10 years off I do love they take time to create and put out polished games though

I will never forgive the makers of RDR2 for breaking my heart at the last fight with Arthur. If I had known what was going to happen I’d’ve swapped my horse before starting it. It literally took me about an hour to stop crying about my horse, and I’m still not over it…

Interesting! I suppose it's a case of when you're really interested in something you'll notice even small differences. A bit like how audiophiles will be able to notice tiny discrepancies between different speakers and headphones, whereas the average person off the street will only be able to notice big differences.

My other half notices the smallest little graphic details while gaming it's insane. I'll be running around on a game that's really graphically complex, like Cyberpunk or the new Avatar game, and he'll make me stop because there was a tiny screen tear or something "looked jarring" that I didn't even notice and he'll go in to the graphics settings and fiddle about with it until it looks "perfect" - and to me it all just looks the same

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

Sorry no, I don’t like playing games online as I just feel awkward about leaving.

It actually was harder. I saw a games developer saying that moving the game over to the latest platform but with essentially the controls of the old game meant the whole thing was out of sync and why so many found it impossible. People played the PS1 game to compare to see if it was the same and the PS1 was a lot easier.

You've just made me feel so much better, thank you. Getting all ragey whilst my 6 year old is flying through the levels is shameful but now I feel lots better, thank you

 

[anniemouse]

Have finally managed to get my pc, weird question but where would I check my storage? It said it was coming with a 1tb SSD, but my local storage says its only 930gb an I've 885gb free, does this sound right? I'd have thought it would have said 1tb? Or am I not looking in the right place

Out of the 1tb there’s the space required for the operating system

Does anyone play the mario games? I've always been curious about trying them but they are quite expensive, wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the best one out there

I would recommend Mario Odyssey or Mario Wonder for the multi-player if you’re looking for Switch games!

There’s a huuuuge list of different Mario spin-off games too, Mario Kart is always good fun even if you’re playing on your own!

It’s probably best to take a look on YouTube to get a feel for the gameplay and see which one you’d like most.

If you have Nintendo Online, you can play lots of the older, classic Mario games on there. One of my favourite games of all time is Yoshi’s Island

The good thing about Nintendo games is they hold their value, so you can resell them on eBay and get most of your money back. I hope that helps!

 

[anniemouse]

Any particular games that you've found have worked really well on it?

It runs Starfield, Skyrim, Hogwarts really well. I enjoy playing Stardew on it. My other half plays Cyberpunk on his as well as those. I think there’s somewhere you can see Verified and Playable games.

I'd like more games with decent single player campaigns and good professional and engaging writing/story telling.
I realise I'm in the minority with not liking MP though.
I think that the focus on MP is killing creativity and innovation for well crafted SP games though.
It vexes me when the SP campaign is just an adjunct for learning the MP.

I'd like a passable/credible COD installment this year too rather than just another cash grab. The last one was piss poor and the one before barely adequate.IMO.

I could go for a new decent Resident Evil installment too.
"Resident evil:the village" gave me the fear.

I'm not a fan of most multiplayer games. I still have the odd dip back into the older call of duty titles. Ever since the Battle Royale genre took off with Fortnite and it has been shoved into everything multiplayer gaming has become awful for me.

I agree that the focus on MP is hurting the industry. Everything is just pushing in game purchases and season passes and loot boxes in general.

 

[Snippysnips]

I’ll have to have a look, I loved both Sandrock and Portia. I’m PS/Switch

It's been a nice change from the main game, I did manage to come across a little about how the multi player works an sadly it does look like you have very very little control over what other players do so I've decided am not going open mine for random players as it looks like they would have easy access to troll an destroy everything you have done, an the fact they can access the game when you aren't online as well means they could do whatever they wanted while you aren't there to keep watch

It is a pity you don't have more control as the host, I had built four cute little houses so everyone had their own space an I had put six little farm plots outside them too an my work area has all the tables/furnaces/work things with most having been upgraded as well, my base is also level 12, but knowing someone could easily come on, sell everything, destroy all the houses an spend all my gols has put me right off, I don't think they can undo all the builds you have done in town but they can basically destroy your base an everything in it

Does anyone have a steam deck? I've got a couple of long haul flights coming up and think it would be good entertainment (and have plenty of games on my steam already that I could use)

Me. I love it. It’s currently away for a repair as I got a glitch where it was turning the volume down if I woke it out of sleep mode but other than that it’s amazing and I really miss it just now

 

[WhatABore]

Has anyone tried Dispatch?
