The Star Wars Fallen Order game seems cool, even if I am absolutely awful at it! Timing blocking for parry/ripostes has never been my video gaming strength, but I will have to get a lot better at it I think! Always been more of a dodger
Interesting, I did feel as though the camera is killing me as often as my bad play. At the moment I am finding it a bit frustrating, but also not crazy about how many off shoots and "wrong ways" there are to go so early, that you know you should go down for loot and that, but at the same time I'm not nearly got the hang of the game enough yet to be doing them. Feel as though it's thrown me in at the deep end a bit and it has, as you say, led to a bit of frustrating slog instead of fast faced fun. (an issue with a lot of games lately tbf, or maybe just a problem with how I play games and hate missing things!)Tip. Play it a bit easier than you would usually. I got so tired of retreading tonnes of ground that i nearly gave up. I didn't even feel like i was fairly dying either. Ive played plenty of tough games so its not a 'get good' scenario, its just a slightly unfair game at times. Its a lot more enjoyable when you can make regular forward momentum.
And now you see why there's no rush when games are first released.AC Valhalla is incredible in terms of graphics, but it really needs a patch. There's so many bugs, my ship randomly catapulted a thousand foot in the air and sometimes quests don't trigger.
Lack of save points I’m finding really annoying. You make some good progress and without getting any chance to save your progress something happens and I’m dead and right back to where I last saved. Enjoying it on the whole but that is a real gripe.Interesting, I did feel as though the camera is killing me as often as my bad play.

I probably should aim for that regular forwards momentum and not worry about missing out on the side stuff as most of it seems pretty pointless anyway (memories worth tiny amounts of XP and sometimes customizable lightsaber bits that don't seem to have any actual purpose). It's the completionist in me though, you have to go all the wrong ways before you go the right way!
Always wait until they drop in price too.And now you see why there's no rush when games are first released.

I’ve read that we may not see traditional redesigns this gen because we’re reaching a point of diminishing returns in terms of node size etc. Xbox’s lead architect has reaffirmed this by saying they needed the Series S as we may not be seeing price reductions as we have in the past. I think Sony desperately need a redesign though because this thing is giant. Most of the PS5 is the heat sink though, so they could possibly come up with an alternative cooling solution or go with a split motherboard like Xbox did.I’ll be getting the improved small ps5 in 2 years can’t be arsed with a grammar phone side me tv.
Anyone else hammering Valhalla?
Tried to but the bugs are ridiculous at the min. Can't finish quests/sail my ship without being catapulted.
Anyone tried Black Ops Cold War? If so any good?
