This weekend it’s been all about the stars with Sea of Stars and Starfield. Really enjoying both. Sea of Stars has a very nice art style and fun gameplay mechanics but the story is only so-so. Starfield is definitely what you’d expect from a Bethesda game. Very much a typical Elder Scrolls/Fallout kind of game but in space of course.
I will give it a try with my paddles and let you know.
That's something I'd do, but I'd make them anniversary presents for the little lady. But I'm classy like that.
finished Skyward Sword.
It's probably in my top 2 Zelda favourites. I don't count the new open world zeldas as they are very different.
I'd forgotten how much fun this game was. All those little things that annoyed me the first time just melted away and the game was almost wholly fun [apart from the drifting gyro]
Now onto either Octopath Traveler 2 or Eastward.
Perfect. Give her a cookbook for an anniversary present, slap her on the ass, and tell her to get in the kitchen.
Octopath Traveler 2 is very good. I wasn't ready to tackle a big RPG when I started playing it, so I didn't last a real long time with it. But even in the first hours I was super impressed.
Did you play the first game? I loved it. Got it instead of Pikmin 4 as I know it will last like 80 hours.I started Eastward, it feels like playing a long lost gba game.
Art is beautiful, music excellent. Dialogue is very expressive too. Feels like Steamworld or Deponia mixed with Earthbound in atmosphere.
Yeah, really enjoyed Octopath Traveler as well. Would like to grab the second one someday.
Arse slaps in the kitchen sound more appropriate for home than a restaurant.
this is a shareable moment with fan of GT5, I would like to post it on gb instagram

I tried the Octopath Traveler mobile game. Turned it off in minutes, super low res visuals and junky screen ratio on a foldable phone.
Anyone catch the new switch rumours? There's tons of hard-core tech rumors going around on cpu, cores, gpu architecture etc.
Tech nerd sites and YouTube are saying it's not tetra based and has to be a custom chip based on an Nvidia card. Saying it will do Ray tracing better than the other systems. Digital foundry is posting stuff. There's price speculation, $400, release date speculation, Q2 2024.
Even game stuff, Gotham Knights confirmed, other stuff I can't remember. I'm a bit out of it with regards to talking about cpu and gpu cores and compute units.
A few articles are calling it "a beast" even though it will be weaker than ps5 etc, they say Nvidias tech, DLSS 3.5 etc, perhaps frame generation means that games could run better than other systems. The behind the scenes zelda demo had instant loading, was 4k 60fps etc.
All of that, except the price point, doinds good to me.
Good video on the recent switch 2 rumours.
DLSS looks like voodoo. A 20 fps game with dls 2 goes to 60 fps, dls 3 boosts it to 100 fps. Dls 3.5 has the same 20 fps game at 100 fps with raytracing etc enabled.
Witcher 3 on Switch, I did not buy it because either I thought it was one of the games you have to stream or it has a massive download. ANyone here experienced it on Switch ('cause lord knows I need an excuse to buy a third copy of Witcher 3 I'll never play).
Hrmmm, I was going to sell my boxed Wii U and all the games, but now looking at what it is going on E-Bay looks like it has not gotten a collectors bump yet. Poor Wii U. Tonnes of boxed Wii U's not selling at $220.
In fact looking at the whole collector scene on Ebay Australia is grossly depressing! Check this: Keep in mind $100 AUD is $64 USD.
