Finally got the bastard.

I've been playing Ghost of Tsushima Directors cut on PS5 since xmas. I finished the main story and i'm doing the Iki island DLC now. I've got over 60 hours logged in this game so far and it's been a real treat. I can't believe I waited this long to play...this is the game AC Valhalla wishes it was. Great storytelling and side quests that are rewarding and worth pursuing.

I'm not sure how a sequel would work without the emotional weight that this story has, but i'd love to see another game in this world where they add in a few more lite RPG elements, like a skill tree and maybe some deeper combat and weapon customization. I liked the idea of the charm system, but i found that i mostly just stuck to a single playstyle and didn't veer too much from that so i really only used a handful of useful charms.

Finished the main story/loop in Deathloop. Now just messing around to try different strategies and finish the platinum.

Might try to play through Uncharted: Lost Legacy before Horizon in two weeks.

Hit the halfway point of Guardians of the Galaxy and its great. Also started Deaths Door and thats a banger.

Gave Rainbow Six: Extraction a chance because of Gamepass. Not good.

A couple people here mentioned Uncharted recently, so I decided to give Uncharted 4 a shot. I've always liked the gameplay of these games but my gaaaaawd the fucking cutscenes.

I mean I know they can get a tad long in UC4 but the voice acting and production is so damn good I never minded them. In fact I enjoyed them! I'm betting the acting in the games will be far better than the upcoming movie.

I think that, yes, a big difference between this one and the previous UC games is that the cutscenes look and sound great. But I feel like I've done nothing but stare at cutscenes and do some jumping for the first hour of play.

You guys are crazy. UC always featured top notch voice acting and cut scenes. That wasn't unique to UC4.

I've never been overly fond of the Sam character so some of the scenes in 4 did go on longer than I would have preferred. I also never cared for how Nate treated Sully in 4 either. I like Uncharted more than probably anyone on the planet but I have some issues with the story in that one.

The highlight of UC4 is Elena and Nate's relationship. She actually feels like a real character. I could take or leave Sam, but his role pushes the story forward.

hey now I agree! I love all four UC games

I'll admit UC4 starts off a tad slow so I could see how it may turn off some. I'm still thoroughly enjoying UC4 remastered. Not sure if I'll make it through Lost Legacy in time before Horizon takes over my PS5 for months

Beat Deaths Door. That was a hell of a game.

Dunno what happened but since the last update of nba2k I have been getting completely smoked every game

This game is stunning in Performance Mode. More bite sized, smaller Uncharted stories please.

Yes I'm having a blast playing UC4 in Performance mode and it still looks gorgeous ~6 years later. Not sure if I'll get to replaying Lost Legacy by the time Horizon drops, but gonna try...

I really dislike quitting games, but I may be getting close with this one. I'm just bored at this point. Naughty Dog games might just not be for me--I also only played the first few hours of The Last of Us before giving up.

I do remember the UC4 story/cut scenes dragging on a bit; I wasn't as 'into' the story as I was with UC2 and UC3. I was totally hooked/engaged on TLOU and TLOU2 though. It's about as top notch as you get for video game story telling, acting, production, etc IMO. Won't blame you for quitting UC but my God give TLOU another chance!

My youngest and I just played through Knights of the Roundtable on the Capcom Beat em Up Collection. He proceeded to scream Arthur shall be king for 15 mins afterwards. I’m not sure what that was all about but I’m glad it’s over.

The rewind feature on the Switch online retro systems is totally cheating and I totally love it. I’m finally getting through a Ghost and Goblins.
