I struggled as well mate best to call in help using a flare. I'm 50 hours in and only just opened up rare gear I used the starter armor just levellng it up as and when i could up until beating an enemy called an Odogoran (I think) later in the game then kept repeating the quest to get sufficient gear to craft it's armor which I'm still using at Hunter Rank 16. Beating certain bosses alone tho is very hard some depend on which weapon u use defo call for help.

Also to be able to open up / level up gear and weapons You need to go through the story as u need to discover to parts to craft them either by farming or killing animals.

I'm still not 100% sure myself ha.

Stated playing The Witcher 3 again as I never finished it first time round. 62 hours in and I've just made it to Skellige Isles!! Its an absolute phenomenal game. My plan is to finish it then start again on new game + I've also not played the expansion packs either and the are supposed to be brilliant. I'm getting an Xbox One X next Month so I can ether play it in 4K @ 30fps or 1440p @ 60fps. Has anyone got an Xbox One X? And if so what is the best settings?

During the story don't be worried about upgrading your equipment as soon as you can, there's no need to horde the materials at all, if forging a new piece of armour or upgrading a weapon is possible you should pretty much do it. You'll always get better material and gear as you progress through the game.
 
Been playing a cracking little indie survival game, "The flame in the flood" it's only £4 on the PSN store and well worth a few hours if you're looking for something to play

 
Just played an invite to Sea of Thieves for the last 24 hrs. I don't get too excited about video games at my age. Been there since the spectrum and vic20 days.

This game is special and sooo much fun. RARE back with a bang. Preordered 2 copies today.

Cant wait for 20th March.
 
Had to refund my Monster Hunter as the second area refused to load and there were huge frame rate drops when playing online.

I swapped it for Kingdom Come deliverance which is an absolutely fantastic RPG. I'd honestly recommend it to anyone.

I always watch the game being played on Twitch to see the real game play and that kingdom Come did look good but the actual game play looked slow unlike the Witcher and Skyrim! Am I wrong? Because I love RPG games.

I've played 10 hours now and it's a very slow burner but one which is so vast with depth and detail. There's a huge learning curve, but the game is an incredible one. You start off with genuinely nothing, and you have to ensure your character has had enough food and sleep else his stamina and health will deteriorate. It's a very well balanced system but yeah it takes a long time to get accustomed to it.

Have you been going solo or with other people?

I'm getting good at the canons. Plus it's great fun diving off a boat and storming another ship.

Played solo for a few hours then watched my nephew have a go teamed up in a two. Think the graphics and feel when out on the ocean are great.

I think this will be game of the year and I would have thought Microsoft and Rare will support it going forward in its evolution.

Great fun.

Been playing Sea of Thieves again this weekend. Stress test apparently. It's looking like it's going to be a lot of fun with your mates alongside you.

Bit pricey though by the look of it.

If you get Microsoft game pass for £10 then yiu get sea of thieves with it along with every other brand new MS first party game. Bargain!

Yep, but that 7 or 8 quid a month for a load of trash that you can pick up for pennies second hand. Did the 14 day trial and went through the 100 or so games on offer. None were worth carrying on the sub or made me consider buying them.

Might work for some but its not for me.

If they have put it up to a tenner a month then its a rip off imo.

I'm on a pc mate. The game pass is poor at best with a load of games not fit for a mobile.

Every single new Ms IP will be on there. So if you buy three Ms games in a year your better of with it.

But I see your part of the PC master race and don't need it.

As I've just said, every single new Ms IP will be on there from day 1 so if you buy three Ms games in a year your better off.

And your comment about buying sea of thieves which will be £40...of you can spend a tenner on it and if you play it for three months and cancel your still better off.

Why three months ? What if I want to play it for three years ?
