Dipped back into state of decay 2 last week, really like that game and today I played the first section of Nier Automata.....wow fantastic stuff. Had heard lots about it before but never played it or saw very much gameplay before.

Nier Automata is probably my favourite game last gen. Soundtrack is immense too. Tried SoD2 ages back but might give it another go as there's been a lot of updates since I last played

Razer Kishi has arrived. Pretty impressive, mobile is now my go to for playing Minecraft Dungeons. I haven't even bothered installing it on my xbox.

Would absolutely love diablo to come to cloud.

Edit link removed, couldn't get it to work properly

Your links a bit messed up. I went for the official xbox version, although I've read the cheaper non xbox.version works fine. I still opted for the xbox version mainly because I wasn't sure if the regular android version had clickable thumbsticks.

This is the one I got: https://www.razer.com/eu-en/mobile-controllers/Razer-Kishi/RZ06-02900200-R3M1

Works great on Samsung Galaxy S10+

Thanks, might grab one of these.

They have the Kishi controller reduced in Argos at the moment. The standard Android one is €70 if you search for the product code 782/7932

Am I doing it wrong or does the Argos site make you check stores one at a time to see if something is in stock?

Pretty much. There was checkargos.com, but I think that's stopped working again.

I have a private version of checkargos that can check stock levels, though, if there's something in particular you're after.

Am I right in thinking there's absolutely no difference between the "android" one and the xbox one other than branding?

Edit: would appear so: https://www.androidauthority.com/razer-kishi-xbox-1144454/

Fingleberries · 26-05-2021 11:05AM

I have the regular Android one (Razer Kishi) and apart from missing the Xbox Branding and the button colours are reversed there is no difference (most people don't look at the A, B, X, Y buttons during a game anyway).

It works great for xCloud games.

Anyone tried Maneater? Starts off great, I put 3 hours into it last night and I am level 9 but I seem to have hit a wall. I have completed all of the missions and side missions in the first 2 areas and there are no more missions available anywhere. So levelling has really hit a wall and I dont think you can progress with the story until certain levels are reached. Looks good, its fun but I am not going to do mundane trivial things just to get EXP to level in order to progress the story.

I don't know why but I wasn't sure if the thumbsticks are ckickable on the non xbox version. Are they?

Yep, thumbsticks are clickable the same as on the Xbox one.

The only 'first world quibble' I have with the kishi in general is that I switched to playing with it, the thumbsticks felt a little 'strange' for the first while until I get used to them. That's possibly because I play with an Elite controller at home and the balance of everything just feels 'right' on that.

I found it was infamy that was my issue. Unless you level up infamy, the main story wont progress. I am level 22 now and flying. Its not a good game and its not a bad game. Its a bit of fun. I will push on and finish it.

I bought it a while ago when on sale, Have to say I enjoyed it for what it was,. loved all the pop culture references, I am really bad at finishing games but I 1000 pointed this, and will get the DLC that is planned for it. Did have some awful bugs in it that I had to Shut the game multiple times.

Think I know one, when one of the hunters appeared the camera would be messed up and you couldn't move Right

yeah that is one, happened so many times.

When I notice a game is due to leave Game Pass soon I try to get as many achievements as I can.
That was until I started playing a game called night call.

I found myself mindlessly bashing the A button to get through all of the endless dialogue and uninstalled the game after getting just a few achievements.

Definitely the most boring game I've played in a long time

Hococop · 10-06-2021 10:17AM

Finished yakuza 2, I know it's out a few years but it's game of the year for me for this year, it was fantastic

Never played the Yakuza games until earlier this year. Started on 0 and have made my way up to Yakuza 5 which I'm currently playing now....#obsessed

brady12 · 10-06-2021 07:01PM

Just finished 0 myself after 50 hours , loved it . Don't know what play now might play Judgement or like a dragon and then jump back into 1

Played it when it was on PC and it's fine for a play through or 3 to catch the killers but it's an exorcise in boredom and frustration going for the passidex entries. Even when they added the free roam mode to it, getting certain people to show up was a pain and even when you did get the right dialogue it didn't register. I was about 20 entries away from full completion and called it quits for my sanity sake.

John Horgan · 11-06-2021 12:47PM

Yea I think that's what killed it for me in a way..
It seemed to take an awful long time for the passidex so I just gave up

I have to say EA are really going above and beyond for this. If you have a physical copy of the game but bought a PS5 digital or Series S as long as you can prove you currently have a copy they will give you a digital copy. Pretty much everyone else has gone tough s**t for digital only console owners.
