Trying to finish Horizon Forbidden West right now but there is a bug that I can't get rid of and that's the inability to fast travel. Not being able to fast travel in an open world game is complete torture. I think I'm 70% done but ready to quit and delete because I can't clear this bug.

Currently finally finishing Ghost of Tsushima. Started it over 2 years ago and burned out (OCD and 100% these massive open world games). Also started replaying Tomb Raider (2013). Really want to get the new Indiana Jones game

I'm always fighting this exact thing. As an Xbox guy with a new PS5, I've got a HUGE backlog of PS4 & PS5 games that I'm excited to play. The first big Sony exclusive I'm playing is Spiderman and there are tons of "get me" items all over the map.

Blasting through games as fast as possible isn't the right way...... but spending several extra hours to get collectibles isn't the right way either when there are other games waiting to be played!

Bloodborne is a must play if you haven't had the chance yet.

I don't know if I can go back to a 30 fps Souls game at this point. I think I'll hold off to see if they ever do a remaster.

They won't, I promise it's worth it.

I told myself I wouldn't get sucked in but I booted up Warframe again for the first time in a couple years and I'm sucked in again. Haven't played the new 1999 quest yet but I hear it's excellent.

I have unfortunately fallen down the Balatro rabbit hole..

My PC is currently packed up, as we're between houses for a few more weeks while construction wraps up... so that just leaves me my phone.

Currently playing OSRS with a character I created in 2004. Although it seems lately on my PC I'll play multiple games for about 10 mins each and then settle back on OSRS anyway.

Hell yes brother. Old School RuneScape is legitimately the greatest game ever created

Going through an old favourite again, Earthbound for the SNES.

Back on Skyrim after a couple years in between since my last playthrough.

Proud to say, I have finally committed to a non-stealth archer build for the first time in I don't know how long. Enjoying my dual wielding Orc thus far.

---

We all know how that goes.

Beginning of the game: "I'm totally going to do something different like be a mage or duel wielder".

Half way through the game: "Wait, how did I end up a stealth archer again?"

---

But it's so satisfying murdering from afar.

I'm engrossed in BG3 right now and forced myself not to be a stealth archer.

I went outside my comfort zone and playing as a Half Drow Paladin.

Hah glad to know I am not the only one with the struggle. I did manage recently to finish the mage guild and main story running a summoning mage. Overall was pretty easy, not quite as OP as stealth archer.

Once you are able to start summoning 2 Dremora lords, all you do is summon them and start walking forward. I'd say that's easier than stealth archer because it's much quicker.

Had been playing Sniper Elite 5, but after about level three it just felt like work. Levels were way too big, open world-esque and took hours to complete. My first Sniper Elite game was SE4 and I really liked it, but this was just too much.

Now playing SE2 remaster on the deck and it's exactly what I was wanting. Nothing but me running linearly thru Germany, wrecking every nazi I see in the face with my mosin-nagant.

It's been a few years, but i thought I remembered thinking just the opposite - being overwhelmed with level size in SE4 and feeling that 5 was more manageable. Maybe it had more to do with mid-level saving being broken in 4 in co-op so every level had to be completed in 1 try.

Yeah 4 still has pretty big maps but more like 60-90 minute levels whereas 5 seemed like double that. Also I was mad that I didn't have infinite rocks to throw. I need my rocks!

Never played coop except for survivor modes

Finished Spiderman Remaster, now on to God of War 2018. So far it's REALLY good. The story & acting is top notch and man, what a great looking last gen game!

I'm sorta lucky, it's a really great time to catch up on games from the past 5-10 years... they just run and look so good on the PS5 and a lot of them look/play so much better with 60 fps unlocks for current consoles.

I started Act 2 of BG3 and still haven't been able to use my ***** in turn based combat. Don't give me options during character creation that I can't use in the game.

If you like metroidvanias the sequel to ender lillies, ender magnolias came out last week. Got the plat trophy yesterday. Good, relatively short quality games.

Started playing the Witcher 3 for the first time. A few hours in and I'm pretty overwhelmed by all the systems. I feel like I'm playing the game pretty inefficiently, and while the game has MANY popup tutorials, I must not be picking up on in-game hints. It feels like the game is pretty much telling you to figure it out on your own.

For example, early game I went and met an herbalist who had a sick patient. I told the herbalist I could make a certain potion for the patient, but I couldn't find a drowner brain. I didn't even know what a drowner was; honestly thought it could have been a different kind of herb. First time I encountered a drowner was several more hours into the game, and I had failed the quest long before that.

For now, I'm just pouring through menus and reading in game stuff as much as possible, but I feel like I'm still missing things. I thought there would be more in game moments that introduced mechanics in an organic way, like Geralt finding a runestone and equipping it.

Any tips?

Been a while since I played Witcher 3, which is an amazing game. Don't recall the FTUE. Might be worth searching Youtube for Witcher 3 beginner guide (spoiler free) to help you learn some of the basics.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Really enjoying it so far. Mechanically very similar to Breath of the Wild, and graphically stunning.

Golden axe: return of death adder (retroarch)

I just finished it and it's one of the best games I've ever played I think but I didn't play games for years from ps3 until I got a switch for my oldest. I was overwhelmed at first as well but it will get more clear.

I'd say just take your time and explore the question marks on the map in each area and do quests to level up. Loot everything and sell to merchants.

You can get through the entire game without interacting with potions, unless you are playing on the hardest difficulty.

Use your bestiary.

Don't pickup every single quest you see. Take them one at a time. Think about it as if it were real life. Are you doing 5 different things for 5 different people all the time?

For me, when i play an RPG, I lean into the "RP" heavily. In the Witcher 3, you're a Witcher. You are basically a contract monster killer roaming the land. So roam the land and have fun taking on one contract at a time. Don't spend hours learning all the mechanics. Focus on a particular quest and the mechanics needed to complete that quest. If you have to take down some sort of beast, read the bestiary on that particular one.

Also, you don't have to go to every point of interest in the game. just focus on the main story and only do side quests as you encounter them, instead of pulling up the map and thinking you need to go to every single point of interest before moving on.

My kids got me that for Christmas too and I played a minute and it looked awesome; I just wanted to play Star Wars Outlaws first. I also am about to start Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and the first level was the intro to Raiders with getting the golden idol and it was really fun and looked amazing!
