Meanwhile at Sony "WTF is a PS3??"
I see that MS has set up a new team working on game preservation, building on their Backwards Compatibility success. They make a big deal about how they remain committed to bringing games forward onto the next generation.
Somewhat odd, in my opinion, as they didn't need one going from the One generation to the Series generation, which makes me think that they've actually gone and switched to ARM for their next CPU, and require a team to work on getting the emulation right. It'd tie in with their talk about making the "largest technological leap ever for consoles."
Be mad if they do.
A more worrying take (for some) is that they're trying to figure out what to do with all the people that bought physical games when the next consoles probably aren't going to have a disk drive.
I actually know what you mean as I was playing it since after my post above and yes I hear you as I'm currently stuck. I do not want to look up a guide, yet anyway. I will keep wandering around and hopefully figure it out.
It was going fine up to about 70% mark then they ramp up. It's not necessarily the puzzles are hard, but more that you need to solve it across 3-4 different worlds.
I won't lie, I did need a YouTube guide for some of the puzzles at the end with the world's within worlds and teleporting between them.
Really I'm probably a small bit further than half way. I think anyway and haven't needed a guide yet. Though I did get stuck a few weeks ago when I was playing it and left it and only came back to the game a few days ago. I got stuck on the first part where you walk over the six rods with different symbols. As I said I got stuck and left it but came back to it and figured it out within seconds. I don't want to mention exactly how you do it as I might spoil it for someone but everything is there you just have to look around.
And wrapped it just now. Great way to spend a Saturday. Loved it. Good to be able to start and finish a game in a day.
So, the PS5 is being hogged by my daughter to play The Sims 4. 😔
Bangai-O is exclusive. It's incredibly difficult just to understand how that game works but once you do it's incredible.
It will remain open until the end of July.
I was looking at games I was interested in that weren't made backwards compatible.
I thought they had closed the Xbox 360 Store?
I am looking through all the games in the Xbox 360 store and spotted this:
My Xbox 360S is over 12 years old, and is still a great console.
Ah excellent. Glad you're enjoying it! It's magical.
Playing this now on your recommendation. I must say I already love it. Perfect for a Saturday morning.
Having so much fun playing "A Little to the Left" on xcloud on a Surface Pro. It works very well with the touch screen, allowing you to drag and drop.
I could see myself doing a few puzzles on my phone on the bus.
I would love to see more streamable games like this. Hopefully the ABK acquisition will help.
But it would probably make more sense to allow games like this to be downloadable and cut out tbe need for a decebt signal and data plan. Maybe with some sort of Gane Pass sandboxed emulator or even take the netflix approach and access them via the apple/Google stores.

Literally just finished Cocoon in the last ten minutes. You get to explore those pathways eventually. It's a relatively linear game and eventually you return to some places. It's not the type of game where you finish and explore the "worlds" in one go.
And having just completed it...what an incredible game it is. The sense of satisfaction on competing the puzzles is immense. One of the best games I've played in the last few years and at around 5 hours, it was a joy that never outstayed its welcome.
That looks more realistic than real life 😂
Me: Ray Tracing is not worth the fps hit.
RTX4090: What fps hit, choom?
I started Cocoon a few weeks ago and got stuck not long into it. Came back today just to see and figured out what to do within seconds of booting up the game. It's a good game but like I said on here before I keep thinking I am missing something. Because as you wander about the world you either get tossed to another place or a wall would come up where you just walked so cannot go back and explore each area fully and there is a few pathways and you take one next thing you were locked out of where the others went. It goes totally against how I normally play these types of game as in I would usually walk around each area fully just so I know I didn't miss anything.
I'm the same, I play little bits here and there, dragons dogma has totally sucked me in.
Also still in Chapter 1. I'm really not that far at all, every time I stop playing there hasn't really been much to pull me back in. Just kinda forcing myself to play a bit here and there now.
Combat is the only thing keeping me going with it. Look like a ps3 game in parts. How far into it are you? I'm still in chapter 1.
16th of April.
More info about the game here:

The gamer's curse.
What's that condition called where you have important stuff to do, but buy a game for the backlog instead called ?
I've definitely got that. But only when a game is on sale/discount. 😆
That's a coup for PS, wonderful title.
Dave the Diver gonna be on ps plus day one this month. Absolutely wonderful news, can't wait to play it.
The reviews seem fairly accurate to me based on my experience. The world just feels so sparse and bland. Hardly any NPCs walking around.
This is my first ever Team Ninja game.
The game is just full of fluff. Go here to get a camera. Go here and take some pictures.
The loot system is dumber than dumb, so much pointless crap. I pick up items that I don't even have much use for, I can light my blade on fire during a fight but doing so appears to make almost no difference to my damage. Similar with poison.
I haven't bothered with side quests, they are mundane. Same with the whole "free an area from bandits" crap. It's like they've tried to copy the absolute worst of Ubisoft.
A game where you have to collect berries? I'm in!
