Computer games.

Yeah. Saw it on game pass and gave it a whirl after finishing Yakuza

tbh I wasn’t expecting it to be and open world when I seen the game I seen who made it and the art style and everything made me want it. I was happy for it to be a side scroller shooting thing but then boy o boy did that game blow my mind
 
Just finished the story mode in Days Gone, really enjoyed it, bit of a slog at points but overall a fun and engaging game. Now moved onto something a bit lighter in tone and enjoying some old school Rpg gameplay with Star Ocean: First departure R on PS4. Nothing too demanding.... Apart from the lack of save points until the world map! But nice to get into the anime sci fi fantasy styling. Music is terrific too.

It reminds me of persona in style so I was all about it. Gameplay is actually very good which I wasn’t expecting
 

For the past few days I've been having a go at Sekiro. My wife has noticed a drastic change in my language with this one, usually at the points when I've spent 20 minutes whittling down a health bar only to be brutally one-shotted. I've never played any of the Souls games (which some seem to think may make for a better starting point for this one), so it's all been a bit different for me. After an initial few hours of trying to time deflections in the first area before sprinting past the tutorial boss, I've started a new game. So far it's taken me - please feel free to laugh - just under 4 hours to get to the point where I've defeated the Chained Ogre, the third (but probably easiest) mini-boss I've encountered. Strangely, the three mini-bosses I've defeated have taken less time as I've moved on - I completely lost count of my deaths from the one in the prologue, then probably beat the one by the gate in 7-10 attempts, but got the Chained Ogre on the 4th or 5th try. I like the whole feudal Japan world, but just wish I could explore it a little bit more without the frequent boss fights (which I know are pretty much the point of the game). Anyway, I do like the game, but just don't think it's really for me as I have limited time for gaming and like to make a bit more progress when I do... I may pick it up again at some point, as there's a lot that's impressive about it. I just wish I wasn't so damned terrible at it!

Strange game that in that it's not really fun to play (I didn't think so, anyway) but is satisfying when you defeat a boss and eventually finish the game. Do you play fighting games at all? I think it's a lot easier if you're familiar with those kinds of mechanics.
 
I've been playing the new PGA tour 2k21 and it's decent, reminds me of the Tiger Woods games from years ago. It's the best golf game I've played this gen but that isn't saying much, hopefully HB Studios will build on this and make improvements on future instalments.

I don't really play fighting games in general, so that may be why I've struggled with this. Have beaten a few bosses, but strangely didn't find it that satisfying as it took so long doing it that I felt the reward wasn't really worth all the time and effort spent on it. I agree that it's not really fun to play, but it gets oddly addictive once you think you've started to work out a strategy that will help you nail a particular boss. Think I'll move onto something else soon... although I'll be seeing that red "DEATH" symbol in my sleep for some time, seeing as it's become so familiar over the past week or so.
 

Landing challenge??

I ranked 174 in the world on the Nice landing challenge and 40 at Saba when I did them.

Probably helps I play DCS tons and have a bit of a setup already for flying!

I've managed the landing challenge ok... think im around 1200 in the world, figured out a steep descent is best because you don't gain much airspeed when descending quickly due to the high altitude of the airport.

My problem is doing it with low visibility and a strong headwind, which was some challenge someone setup of MSFS forums. Really hard to see where you're landing until the last minute and the headwind makes it really easy to stall.

Im turd at flight sims though and pretty clueless... literally everything I know about planes I've learned in the last 2 weeks of playing it.
 
maybe its just me, but until this evening I did not realise that EA appear to be about to release a modern version of X-Wing, with full VR support:

Yeah it looks great doesn't it! I always preferred TIE Fighter to X-Wing......man, the TIE Defender was something else to fly in that game!

Hope it lives up to the memories!
