How are the folks playing Zelda getting on? I'm still loving it, been busy at work so not much chance to play after hours for the last week - just about to face the boss of the Wind Temple

I've been wandering as I usually do, doing some missions but mostly exploring and activating towers. I've got to grips with the powers but forget to use Ascend. I now know why I didn't know how Ultrahand worked, I play with the HUD switched off so don't see most of the in-game control tips. Looking at the Parental Control app, I have played for 25h 5m since starting the game on Tuesday last week.
Please don't post boss or mission spoilers. I'm still cagey about watching reviews and tips videos for fear of being spoiled.
I’ve been thinking about trying Elite Dangerous for years. A few weeks ago I saw it on the PS store for 5€. Why not now, I thought. I am hooked through and through and bought a joystick set with fixings for close to 200€. Thank god I’m not on PC, as I would’ve probably bought HOTAS stuff for thousands of euros. As luck would have it PS only really supports one decent flight controller. Turned out to be an expensive 5€. A great game nevertheless albeit you need to like grinding to appreciate it.
Just started Remnant 2 on PS5. Tricky but not as bad as I expected but I have got it on the easiest setting!
Not sure that is correct. Most critic reviews on Metacritic are positive. My friends playing it seem to love it too. But if you don’t like that type of Bethesda game I don’t see why you would like this either. There does seem to be a weird sect of PlayStation players who want to pan it just because it is not on their platform. Which is both dumb and sad. When someone goes to the lengths of creating a PC mod to add a Playstation studios splash screen to the startup to replace the Xbox one you know they need help 😀
Not sure I agree with this, not a single negative review from 65 'critic' reviews: https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/starfield
I've sunk 30+ hours in already and whereas it has some flaws it's easily the best game I've played in some years. It won't suit everyone, but for me it's almost perfect, 9/10 personally. My complaint is the inability to transition from space/ground and transition from planet-to-planet. The space stuff just lacks a bit - and I agree that it's a bit of a "loading screen simulator". I can accept a mission, fast travel to my ship, transition to space, travel to star system, land on planet, exit ship and finally load into the building for the mission... 7 loading screens in maybe 1 minute. Once you accept and get passed that, it's incredible.
With games like this, it's about the stories it creates. I jumped into a system and was met with quite a large pirate ship. I disabled it's engines and then boarded it. After dispatching the crew and ransacking the ship I found a tablet that indicated a secret base... After I'd sold the pirate ship (because I can), I followed the details on the tablet to the base and went on a several hour mission which unlocked some AMAZING goodies (trying to keep it spoilerless).
2-3 hours spent on a random encounter, and every second was awesome.

Was one of the backers gor Elite Dangerous and have an unopened boxed edition somewhere with a personalized commander name and bits and pieces . Never played it despite having played Elite and Frontier to death till I was Elite on both.
Starfield is fun , has the usual annoyances of your companions getting in the way during combat plus the inventory system is the worst ever seen in a bethesda game . Its Skyrim in space pretty much but its very similar to Mass Effect I found . The music is a bit of a let down after Skyrim and Oblivion.
After reading this post I thought I would give it another go. I have it on PC VR and also have a Warthog Hotas that I bought for DCS.
Steam says I have five hours of play time. I just started the game up and it is starting me from scratch!
Just another example of 'why wont it just work' when compared to console gaming!
Baldur's Gate 3. Quite the departure from BG I & II but enjoyable in it's own right.
Remnant 2 update, played it way too much so far, a solid 20 + hours. It is great, a nice twist on a normal shooter style game with lots of puzzles and hidden areas. I also like that game has numerous storylines and you can get different zones, maps etc, on each play, you and your friend could start at the same time and have two totally different maps, story lines, quests etc. Can be annoying when an item you want isn't in your "game" but that can be solved with re-rolling adventure mode or finishing the campaign and starting again on a harder difficulty. Almost finished the first play, looking forward to starting again and getting a different story.
Some of the things people figure out on this game are just nuts, they must data mine the game to find things out, or just spend hours reading all the lore and checking every detail.
After a couple of hours outside of the tutorials I am starting to realise the scale of the game. I don't know if I want to spend so much time on such an in depth game.
As for HOTAS and VR I dont really have anything to contrast with as I have yet to play it in 2D. It's a bit tricky to work out wich HOTAS presses are needed at times because they are all given as numbers. I know them by their Warthog/DCS names like TMS, Coolie, Boat Switch etc.
Hi all. I am thinking of getting Cyberpunk 2077 after the latest update and dlc. I usually play such games like Deus Ex as stealthily as possible. I was wondering whether it's possible to ghost levels, side quests etc?
