General gaming discussion

Since this DLC takes about 30+ hours to complete you should be able to shake off the cobwebs before the final boss

Took me a few hours but eventually I started to remember all the different features

This DLC does look to be tough though. I have read people with insane builds of level 400+ getting walloped by enemies

Twitter is an absolute cesspit, even more so with Musk but there are moments of beauty like this. She beat 2 Mohg's on 2 different systems with one hand on each controller.

For people who never played Elden Ring, Mohg is a very tough boss fight.

I think it's hard too not to get so attached to your build which has carried you through most of the endgame fine, but which doesn't work against the final boss. It's near impossible to cater for every build, but sometimes it's as hard fighting with a build which isn't optimal as it is to switch to a different build you're not familiar with.

Although it's a very different game in all aspects, I still remember absolutely loving Thronebreaker (the Gwent game) and having a great deck and tactics which were great, and having to completely throw it all out the window for the final fight because you pretty much had to use a particular set and strategy or you had no hope of winning.

A lot of people had the same thing with Malenia, where they got so stuck on her that their only option was to respec and go with Rivers of Blood or Mohg's spear to give them a chance. Sure, some weapons and builds will always give you better odds, but it should never feel like a requirement to change your build.

Yeah the ending was properly laughable, I give up on games quite easily when poor but a tv show I can stay to the end, this time I wish I hadnt.

I feel for that game coming out the same time as Elden DLC. I will probably have forgotten it exists by the time I finish up with Elden.

Yeah I'd agree with that. The Haligtree, Mohgwyn Area and Crumbling Farum Azula are a lot like legacy dungeons and are pretty linear, and the Mountaintop of the Giants area is just such a PITA that I think by that stage, most people just want to get through the area as quick as possible due to starting to tire from the game. Especially if they've been doing the underground cities and areas too. I know that's how I felt anyway.

Ha, the Last of Us Part 1 crashed on me, but I didn't lose any progress. The game is so incredibly polished I was not expecting that.

Anyone have 1 if these? Looks like good value. Delivery from Italy.

Especially when you consider that under the shine it's a PS3 game.

You should go on now and play the remastered TLOU2

Part one looks stunning on OLED, HDR, 60 FPS. There was a scene where you act as a sniper protecting the others and the animation and movement of the attackers is sublime in the sniper sights.

The scene with the Giraffes is beautiful from an artistic and story point of view. They give a sense of hope and you can watch them, but as soon as you exit the scene they disappear into the distance and you are thrown back to the reality that lies ahead. You absolutely forget you are playing a video game.

I'm delighted it's a stealth game mostly and also that there are only a few intense infected/clicker encounters. They really kept the reigns in on turning it into Unchartered zombie shoot em up. Also, the section with David in the burning building is far more disturbing than any of the bloater attacks.

It reminds me an awful lot of RDR2, But with none of the slog and much better controls and 60 FPS. Also, a load of Cormack McCarthy influence in their too.

I started playing it again last night. Playing it with a headset ramps up the tension.

If you have a Game Pass subscription, give it a go.

That's interesting about the giraffes giving you hope. I remember that as the point where I wondered if people were worth saving at all and if we'd be better off leaving it to the animals 😅.

MGS 2 intro theme was one of the best things for me in gaming and remains the only ringtone I ever paid for :)

this one is very much a "in the right mood for it" but I've been absolutely loving this one from Luftrausers also:

I am a huge fan of Stardew Valley and especially some of its absolute bangers. These two are always a highlight but I am always even more impressed it was all the one guy doing it all.

I always found the GPU song from Astro was the best, the chorus always reminds me of Gigi D'Agastino L'Amour Toujours when the girl starts singing Il fly with you

Some pretty good tracks listed above, but it’s time to get serious.

When he said “Salsa, Avocado…..HAHAHAHA”, I really felt that.

Gods intro. Takes me right back.
