Anyone here play video games?

@SamD @Freeman solid reviews all around. I'm going to give it a go. Something about where I'm at mentally is keeping me from locking in on a deep story game. I just want distraction, preferably laced with nostalgia, to carry me through these dopamine-deprived winter months. I don't even mind a decent microtransaction here and there

I'm so addicted to ARC Raiders that I've started to refer to 'going outside' as 'topside'.

Yes, I'm a grown man. Yes, I'm a nerd. Deal with it.

Just picked up the original Dragon Quest on android. Gives me all the 90's feels. Such a great, functional port and it's designed to play one handed in portrait mode. Pretty smart.

Trying to work my way through Borderlands 4 while wondering if it is just rubbish or just that I am 58.

Damn SUBNAUTICA was quite challenging... Finished it though...

I cant wrap my head around Crimson Desert. So much going on. Might be a 300+ hour game. Might skip this for now as I doubt it will run that well on a base PS5. The Digital Foundry preview on the PS5 Pro looks very good. Game is a RPG but seems to have everything in it. Will need to see it plays out over the coming month or so once released.

Can someone help me make sense of Destiny 2. The pop ups in this game...I have menus in menus on top of menus. I can't even figure out exactly which quests I can do solo to get my power up. Maybe these MMORPGs just aren't my bag...

I just discovered Forza Horizon 6. I wasn't aware of the series. Since I assumed it was still an Xbox exclusive I had pretty much ignored it, being a Playstation guy. I didn't know Horizon was a open-world car culture playground that changes real-world locations every iteration. Lucky me because this one happens to be set in Japan, and I am a SUPER nerd for japanese car culture and it looks like they nailed it! It looks like a mash-up of Need For Speed Underground and Gran Turismo that checks all the boxes for me as THE perfect car game. Hopes are high!

@WhiskeySandwich I've watched some of these trailers for FH6 - I am defo buying this! Had FH4 and 5 - I'd say they are the best driving games around - FH4 was based in UK, and it captured exactly driving on motorways etc

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Steve Yeah, I saw that when I looked into it and wished I hadn't been so late to the game. The UK one definitely piqued my interest. The level of detail for the Japanese environment looks incredible. I love how it looks to blend simulation game with open-world street culture as a festival. It's like exactly what I've always wanted lol

[Nick]

So glad that Xbox have allowed this series to jump to PS5. Got the last one and knowing the new one is set in Japan, instant buy. Although we have to wait longer for it compared to the Xboxers.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Nick absolutely! but seeing as i just learned about it, i'm just psyched i only have to wait prolly 6 months. ...i been waiting like 10 years for GTA6 lol

This one right here is like crack, got it 2 weeks ago on Steam on sale and 40hrs later it's still going strong.

[FlavourFade]

@ÆRϺΔΚ loved the first one, looking forward to II when I got time
