General Videogame Thread

Yeah although I've never finished it. Furthest I've got is the end of act 2 so I've never been in to the city of Baldurs Gate!

It's a brilliant game but I just got a bit fatigued with it as that save up until act 2 took me 78 hours and I just lost a bit of interest. I'll go back to it at some point.

KCD2 though completely got me hooked, I've never felt fatigued by this game
I did the same as you've done with BG3 on KCD2 dunno why but I got bored :-( I like open world, sword fighting and stuff also but the starvation every 2 minutes go on my nerves lol.

Tbf to KCD2 tho I did have loads of other stuff to play at the same time.
 
Ive got an Xbox series S dont play on it that much to be honest at the moment but wondering if upgrading will help. My lad can put the s in his room then.

It only holds about 3 games and the hard drive is full.

I bought a external storage expansion for my s series for the same reason.
1 Tb cost around 50 quid but I'm sure you can get it cheaper.
 
I am playing Ghost of Yotei, which is pretty good. I completed 100% of Ghost of Tsushima a while back and recently received an email urging me to buy an exclusive pin to commemorate my achievement for £25… er, no thanks.
My favorite recent games are BG3 and KCD2, both of which I completed, with the latter taking the honors for the best game I’ve played in quite a while.
 
Anyone played Indiana Jones and the Great Circle? Is it any good? Also any second world war games suggestions? I am a sucker for those. I only play single player missions and I have played all call of duty, sniper elite and battlefield games.

I've got it installed on my pc just not played it yet
 
Still delighted with the PS5. After the initial excitement I've settled on FF7: Rebirth and also picked up the updated version of Age of Empires 2 the other day, a game I had great fun with on the PS2.

Did anyone try the Oblivion remaster? My first Elder Scrolls game was Skyrim and I did try Oblivion on the PS3 years ago, it felt dated in comparison but there must be a reason so many Elder Scrolls fans say it's the superior game. Is the remaster worth picking up? I'm tempted.

I have the Oblivion remaster and it's great. Especially with all the add on missions.

But it's still not as good as Skyrim.

Apart the the graphical overhaul the biggest difference between the original and remaster is that they completely changed the leveling system which is much easier to understand now

Apart from that everything is the same. You also get all DLC's included as well. For me the quests in Oblivion were/are far superior than Skyrim(you really have to read the quest notes to understand your objectives)although fighting monsters in Oblivion gates every 30 minutes can get a bit tedious.

Beware though the performance on console is all over the place and Bethesda being Bethesda still haven't fixed the issues. The main one being the frame rate which is all over the place. I have a PS5 Pro with. VRR display and I can get 60-70 games per second in one area then the frame rate tanks to below 30 in another area. It also crashes often so continually save.

If you can get past that it's normally on sale for £40 which considering you can spend hundreds of hours playing the game it's definitely worth it

It's the Oblivion Gates that do my head in. I got the castle far left, did the path to get the decent armour/ title...all the while skirting around them. If you knock them off but not during the story line they keep popping up.
The new madness dlc bit is bonkers. But fun.

Could I be more vague!

The biggest issues with the gates are, too many spawn at once, some of the best loot are in the gates so you're compelled to do them and the layout apart from story related ones are all the same.

You can completely ignore them of course so what's the point of them spawning so many in the first place.

My advice would be to do 3-4 then beeline the main story as once you do that they don't appear again and you can still do the side/guild quests

Thank you gents. I see it's currently sitting at £49.99 on the store, so will wait for a drop to come.

Im currently playing it at the moment and its brilliant. One hour turns into 4/5 hours so quickly and you have hardly scratched the surface. The performance issues as Kippaxwarrior said do become a bit annoying at times, but in general its ok. Got a feeling its going to keep me busy for months to come.
 
After wasting 50 quid on cyberpunk ps4 when it came out, it was glitchier than City's second half performances, I decided to give it snother go on the Ps5 and its so much better.
Steep learning curve, but I will stick with it. Any tips for beginners?

Don't just batter the main story mate, do as many side missions as possible as u go through it for XP and resources.

Oh and get the Skippy gun as early as u can it was brilliant :-)
