Finally started AC Valhalla. Been playing for about a week and am only power level 50. Seeing some of the zones recommend 300+. This is gonna take a while. Maybe stopping to collect every gold and white dot on the map isn’t sustainable.
Got a PS5 for my 9 year old son for Xmas. Got the God of War Ragnorok bundle. Need to get another game or two. Thoughts on what to add? He likes the first person shooters. He's a good kid so he can handle the Teen rated games. Not GTA though. That's too much. Is there a definitive list of PS5 games? Or some PS4 must-haves?
I have been....son bought the MW II and it sorta hooked me in. Though, I've spent more time in the DMZ mode than anything. Spent a good amount of time in the "Invasion" mode ranking up guns. I think I agree with the observations. They could have some more "lush" areas on the map and I don't think I like the 2/2 in gulag, though I have had some luck teaming up with other gulagers to fight the gatekeeper guy and we all go free.Anyone playing Warzone 2.0?
I like the new map DESIGN but the art style leaves something to be desired (EVERYTHING is brown).
2 v 2 gulag with random is a MASSIVE L, so hopefully they get rid of that .

So I picked up Subnautica Below Zero based on a recommendation and….I don’t get it. No map, no idea what to do next, constantly running out of air, water or food; or batteries dying in tools. This thing got great reviews, but I’m not sure I can go on. Am I missing something?
For old schoolers that like Final Fantasy Tactics, or for those who like Tactics RPGs in general (XCOM/Invisible Inc.), Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a nice port/update of the 25+ year old classic. My only real complaint so far is the voice actors sound like they were just hired from a Shakespeare troupe. But considering the original was all text and 8-bit sound, I guess I shouldn't complain too much on that front.
My one and only complaint with Elden Ring is that the game is so huge and the map is so ridiculously big that it's very difficult, bordering on impossible, to start a new playthrough from scratch. I'm sure I will at some point, but even after being away for several months, I just can't even begin to think about working my way through all of it again. A brand new run through Dark Souls or Bloodborne is a serious undertaking, and those games are like 20% the size of Elden Ring.Restarted Elden Ring. Playing my first ever rogue/ranger type. Need to 100% this thing.

Granted, this is kind of a petty complaint since I put 180 or so hours into my first character. And it's not like they're stingy with re-specs, so you can experiment with all sorts of builds as you go along. Still, I've beaten Dark Souls at least 10 times, and I'm not sure that I'll beat Elden Ring more than once.
Yeah, you're going to need a guide to find any NPCs you want to find, if nothing else. I know most of them tell you where to look for them next, but they always just casually drop that information in one line of non-archived dialogue and then they don't show up again until 30 in-game hours later. Like anybody could possibly remember any of that stuff.My one and only complaint with Elden Ring is that the game is so huge and the map is so ridiculously big that it's very difficult, bordering on impossible, to start a new playthrough from scratch.

I feel ya. I just checked and I last played 267 days ago. For the reasons you mentioned is why I had to start over. I had no idea where I was or what I had done.
Now that Im back into the flow maybe I should try the old save and just follow a walkthrough.
I’ve already experienced most of this game blind. Im ok following a checklist going forward.
And I think to 100% it, you need multiple NG+ to get it all since certain NPC lines stop after certain choices are made. I would definitely look at a 100% guide.Yeah, you're going to need a guide to find any NPCs you want to find, if nothing else.

I opened this thread to post that this is the game I am playing. I like this genre of games having played Xcom, all the Disgeaes, a few Fire Emblems, FFT, and a few other I am forgetting.
I made sure to not read any spoilers of the game and I did not read any guides or reviews until it became obvious that I was approaching the end of the game. It seemed like I took the worst route possible and I missed quite a few unique characters which I did not realize were recruitable at the time.
I also have issues with bosses, they did not need to make it so every boss can blast 3-4 guys for a ton of damage or straight up kill a single guy at full health.

Most FPS tend to be quite graphic, but I would recommend Destiny 2. I played both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 when they were released and they would be a great entry level game into the FPS genre. Destiny 2 remains popular today and I believe they just released a new expansion. There is a small amount of swearing, less than a PG-13 movie. No sexual content, the violence does not have much gore and much of it is against obvious alien species or robots.
I downloaded this on release day and haven't played yet :(God of War Ragnarok is simply an amazing game
God of War Ragnarok is simply an amazing game
Completed it the other day. Playing through again on give me god of war difficulty.God of War Ragnarok is simply an amazing game
Pretty pissed I can't get this for XBox series x.God of War Ragnarok is simply an amazing game
Agreed. I beat elden ring and then new game plussed it again in a speed run. Never thought about picking it up again.

Each system needs the app/game. I THINK there is a way to set up games on your local wifi without having to go "online" through their servers, but don't quote me on that. Haven't been on ours in a while.Please help this old dude with new technology. Nintendo switch. I got one for my kid for Xmas (the middle version, not the lite or the OLed). It comes with a game - Mario Kart, and I purchased a few other games - Lego marvel super heros and a Pokémon game. His best buddy is also getting a switch for Xmas and his parents purchased him all different games.
Can the kids play multiplayer games? Do they both need to have a copy of Mario kart for instance to play against each other on their own switches? Can they play vs online, or would they each need some online profile? Thanks for any guidance you can provide me.

Interesting, because I ended up really enjoying this game. Not enough that I have any interest in replaying it, but the story was fun, the gameplay was tight, and the game didn't overstay its welcome. You're 100% right about how the game lets you run of ammo if you're not careful. I just took that as a standard "survival horror" thing. I'm one of those guys who finishes every RPG with 99 of every healing item and consumable, so I never had any issues with ammo, but I can absolutely see where someone might.Man everyone in here having a good time lol.
Meanwhile a couple weeks ago I had to give up on Alan Wake Remastered, never played the original. First time in years I've had to just cold quit a game midway thru. The checkpoints in that game were infuriating. So close together, so if you ran low on ammo, you were SOL and stuck with minimal ammo on your next swarm of enemies....pretty much just had to start the chapter over.
I sucked it up once to get past a part I got stuck, but then once I cleared it the second time, same thing happened again on literally the very next part afterwards. Could tell it was going to be a recurring thing.
So said F it, back to Gamestop ya go.
That guy deserves every last bit of payback that's coming his way.But I really have little desire to beat it again - instead, I've been taking my level 200 sorc back to places like Stormveil castle and just destroying them. Hey knight in the dark room... Remember me? Payback. Also looking for new secrets. And waiting for some PVE DLC that I'm hopefully not over-leveled for.

Oooo. I had heard they were working on the PS5 upgrade for Witcher, but didn't know it was already done. I started that for like a week sometime last year but I got distracted with something else. Always meant to come back to it. Now I have a reason.Finally started playing GoW and man I suck - the beginning boss battles are killing me
Just also downloaded Witcher 3 for PS5 free upgrade. I only got about 1/3 of the way through 1 and bailed - the load times bugged me
Same. I quit that one after a few hours despite loving Dishonored.I'm not getting the charm of Deathloop. Dishonored is one of my favorite franchises, but I'm just not having fun with this one for some reason. Everything about it seems pretty "meh."
