      @Nick wilds is definetely more casual and easier to manage! Kcd2 is amazing, the realism and depth of the world ist great. That's how cyberpunk should have been when it comes to worldbuilding

      Have started it (Wilds) and I agree. It's so much easier to settle into a groove with it. Not a lot of hunting - which has irked the hardcore community. But I'm far less overwhelmed than I was with World.

      As for KCD2 - still not played. I just cant sink the time into it yet. Esp with Path of Exile 2 patch incoming this week.

      Think we're gonna need 3-day weekends chaps.

      Agreee on the weekend idea 🤣

      POA2 is on hold for now because I was so hooked by KCD2 and compared to Monster Hunter I like it better but am playing wilds with a buddy still. Mostly I try to not play too many games at the same time

                I wasn't too fussed on getting a switch 2 right away. But announcing an exclusive From Software game for it... I'm in.

                  Switch 2 controversy.

                  Base unit costs a fair bit but also they've upped the cost of games to $80-$90.

                  I want one because I want to play both Zelda games in 60fps. And I'm a nerd for Mario Kart too. But not sure I can justify it until maybe, possibly Xmas time. Got too much PS5 gaming to get through.

                  From Soft have also given Nintendo an exclusive new IP (which looks like it might be a PvP game more than anything more and NOT a spiritual successor to Bloodborne).

                  Steam Deck 2 is something I'll def pre-order when it happens - but that might be years off and emulation isn't 'possible', so if I want me some Mario and Zelda, gonna have to take a hit to ye old wallet.

                    @EdH I had a go of Atomfall and its pretty good, to be honest what you have wrote is exactly it, more or less. I do find the enemies a little dumb! and pretty easy to fend off. The map context where you have no waypoint is pretty good, makes you look around and unlike my usual gameplay actually have to listen to what people tell you. I would give it a go if you can, its worth a bash!

                        My son is really trying to sell me on Elden Ring…what’s the consensus here from you guys that have played. He loves it and is being hilariously persuasive

                          @SKT Have you played any of the Souls games or Bloodborne? It's cut from the same cloth, but a big open world. Too big, I found - I preferred the more linear, contained earlier games and gave up half way through Elden Ring. It's widely loved though. If you've never played a From Software game prepare for quite challenging combat and limited hand-holding as regards both game mechanics and narrative. It's one I keep feeling I should go back to, but I don't think I'm up for the relentless hostility of that kind of game anymore!

                            I "registered interest" for Switch 2 on Nintendo's website today. Not sure how long that's been going on. Probably to late. Still no pre order dates here in the USA. Coming from China mtl this could get interesting. I'm a sucker for Mario kart ...

                              @Oroccoco thanks for the insights. It does look very difficult and that’s one of my hesitations. I haven’t played either of the earlier games so maybe I should start with one of those to see if I like that style. I’ve watched my son play enough to appreciate the design and graphics but the combat did look very complex. I’m still enjoying playing Ghosts of Tsushima (albeit very slowly) so may just stick with that

                                @SKT ghost of tsushima is a completely different game. It's story driven, great writing and characters and a beautiful world. I love it, one of my all time favorites. Elden Ring on the other side has the focus on the combat system. I would not say it's a lot more complex than G.O.T. but timing and learning the patterns of the boss enemies is extremely important. But the story is very basic and it did not really do anything for me. I just played it because I wanted to learn how to fight the bosses and for the grind.

                                  Context: GTA6 delayed until MAY 26th, 2026.

                                  Another year. I'm devastated haha.

                                    @Nick yeah just talking about that, but id rather wait and then have a fuck up like cyber punk, could you imagine one of the first proper BIG AAAA next generation games and its likely to be 100£ and its buggy as hell! imagine the uproar.

                                    I personally don't think these companies should be trailering/teasing until they are at least in the beta or early alpha stages, be nice to have game released that isnt buggy on release and then need to spend the year with constant fixes and updates.

                                      @JoshC Totally agree. Cyberpunk was my most hyped game ever. Thanks to the mis-managed promo and internal conflict (game didn't know what it wanted to be during the dev stage - then ends up being a mess on release thanks to pathetic optimisation). I struggled with it on launch. Waited. They fixed it and patched it and patched it again and again.

                                      It's elite now. Finally getting into Phantom Liberty DLC. So good.

                                      I can wait for GTA.

                                      Switch 2

                                      There's a few more that will keep me occupied.

                                        @Nick I’m thinking of picking Cyberpunk up for the switch 2 once it comes out in June. Maybe I’m better off getting it on Xbox one though. Not sure.

                                          @Chibs From what I've seen it's actually pretty decent. Graphically it's better than the PS4 version (not a hard thing to do considering the last gen mess for this game). Everyone that's played it has been impressed.

                                          Digital Foundry are the chaps to watch if you want the details (closer the time to release).

                                          Switch 2 will run at 40fps.

                                          Think console is probably the best way to play it (if you're without a pc gaming rig).
