Anyone here play video games?

[SKT]

Can’t remember if I’ve asked this before but has anyone played Ghost of Tsushima? I’ve been interested in playing for a while but haven’t gotten around to starting.

@SKT a beautiful game and well worth your time! So much attention to details throughout the game world, although I did get a bit burned out on the repetitiveness of the combat encounters towards the end..

[SKT]

@T4920 thanks Tom, the beauty of the world in the bits I’ve seen is what has drawn me to it. It’s open world yes?

Yeah, massively so! The way the game flows is reminiscent of RDR2 with a dash of the the watchtower/enemy camp system you see in a lot of open world games nowadays.

Typically these mechanics put me off games as I feel like I've done it all so many times before, but the artistic vision of GoT more than made up for it's lack of originality in this department.

I think Black Myth Wukong will be my next 'big game' this year, if I can drag myself away from Balatro that is...

[SKT]

I’m waiting for a decent sale for GoT and will jump on it. I’ve been playing a lot with my son lately and he’s totally into Helldivers and Warhammer. It’s been fun playing new games with him…even if they aren’t really my speed

@SKT top tier dad-ing right there! Tried so hard to get my dad to play with me as a child to no avail...

Whether you enjoy the games or not, I'm sure it'll help build a stronger bond and great memories between you

@SKT Ghost of Tsushima is one of my most favorite games. It's beautiful and fun. There is a sequel coming which looks like it will be equally as good. I know some people were upset because of the female protagonist but it's all loosely based on history.

Fantastic game. Truly breathtaking vistas and the art style really does make it stand out above so many of the trope-driven open world games.

From a design perspective, it reinvents a lot of things so that it doesn't feel like you're constantly travelling from a point of interest to yet another point of interest.

Combat, story, the lot. Looking forward to the second game that's recently been announced.

Ah yes. The gaming community. I'd go on a rant but best I leave it for now.

[SKT]

Thanks @Nick @GardenState looking forward to playing when I nab it. And great to hear about the upcoming sequel

[FlavourFade]

@SKT I have played it several times maybe my favorite game of all times... Love everything about it, story, gameplay, visuals, music

[Nick]

@SKT The DLC for Ghost is also worth picking up, in fact it's essential. Happy gaming.

[GardenState]

@Nick I don't think I've actually every played the DLC. Time to play this again on PC instead of Playstation

[Shaun]

Anyone here played Disco Elysium? Just picked it up for a discount. Excited to get started

[GardenState]

@Shaun I have played it. It's definitely a good old school CRPG. Very noir setting and theme. Pretty fun. You can usually get it pretty cheap these days.

I'm currently replaying Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5, with the Phantom Liberty DLC (didn't have it on my original play through).

Does anyone else like replaying their single player games? Unless I hated a game I generally do at least one replay a year or so later, I find I catch details in the story and characters behaviours a lot more, and I'm not obsessed with finding every hidden treasure, so I enjoy the story more.

[AdamJ]

@ManiacLachy that is one game that is definitely re-playable

One of my personal most hyped games ever (soz if I'm repeating myself from earlier in this thread).

But I could not play on launch because of how messy it was. I'm around 60% through it but still have to start the DLC mission(s).

Hope they get the sequel right from the off. At least we have Witcher 4 to look ahead to.

As for replaying single player games, yeah. I always go back to Bloodborne.

Ive just rekindled my love of Assassins Creed and playing Odyssey at the moment, Story is so good and love the history behind all the games. Buzzing for Shadows when it comes out next month..... Anyone else looking forward to this or is it just me?
