Went back to Lego Star wars.

I kinda hate this game. It got such great reception and word of mouth, but it's the worst game I've played in recent memory.

It's okay when you're Luke and swinging your light Saber around. The X wing combat is decent. Everything else totally sucks. The controls are just terrible.

I had heard everything was reworked and that made it a better Lego game. All they changed was the fixed camera angle, the fighting still sucks and everything else is the same as old lego games.

The shooting is terrible, aiming sucks, enemies are bullet sponges. Planets are small segments broken up. After Star wars Outlaws I expected seamless travel from one planet to the next, no its all loading screens. The UI is the worst thing Ive ever seen.

If this wasn't Star Wars it would be flat out worthless.

Playing Hitman WOA Switch 2

They make some arcade mission DLC free to play for a limited time. There's a cool Bruce Lee mission.

So I started the Italian level. I really like the game, was a fan of Hitman 2 and 3 during the PS2 era. However there are aspects of this game which feel, somewhat irksome.

I tried to drag a body through a doorway and tried to close the door as I was still dragging him, but the door kept banging on the body and wouldn't close even if it seemed I was clear.

Also don't like having to hold a button for some actions and simple button press for others. Im used to one button dumping bodies in Cyberpunk.

The game seems quite fickle at times as to what catches you out. I grabbed a pass from someone's table, something a spy or hitman could do easily but somehow the whole room sees you.

I ran and hid. Came out when safe. Walked up a stairway showed my pass to the guards. Then decided to go back down, then changed my mind to walk back up the stairs past the guards Inhad just shown my pass to.

They asked me for the pass again so quickly I took one step forward to far and they drew their guns on me.

I faked surrender and entered this QTE style fist combat. Problem being the game never introduced me to this before, so its something completely foreign you're supposed to ace first time?

Then there's the disguises. Say you get spotted the disguise becomes compromised. So you change outfits. They want me to be a waiter, there only seems to be one waiter outfit. Enforcers can spot you in outfits, so like the boss of the restaurant can tell you don't work there. But when your waiter outfit becomes compromised, every single npc becomes an enforcer, no matter how long you've waited or how many outfits you've switched between. But the waiter outfit in Italy is so common it becomes inconceivable that people wouldn't just assume you're a different waiter.

Then for poisons, you have to randomly walk about to find a poison. I mean, wouldn't a Hitman have something concealed already? Then you find an empty unattended glass. You put the poison in, despite it being an unattended glass literally everyone in the room turns and spots you, hounding you. Wouldn't a hitman be able to slip some powder into a glass no-one is looking at?

No you have to be in a disguise first.

So I went a different route, walked into the mansion in a different disguise, you can wander about till you cross a invisibly marked line when you mini maps says you're trespassing. With no heads up.

Also cameras can be almost impossible to spot the grid pattern on the floor.

Levels are so large too, it feels like Im just walking about till inspiration hits me.

Played and finished Luigi's Mansion this weekend.  Gg, why don't you play it again?

7 years after it was announced, The Elder Scrolls 6 is ‘still a long way off’, Todd Howard says


Speaking to GQ, Howard said the game is "still a long way off", adding: "I'm preaching patience. I don't want fans to feel anxious."


Howard also noted that he doesn't like announcing release dates for games then having players wait a long time for that date to arrive.


"I like to just announce stuff and release it," he explained. "My perfect version – and I'm not saying this is going to happen – is that it's going to be a while and then, one day, the game will just appear."


Asked if he wanted Bethesda to shadow-drop The Elder Scrolls 6 like it did with Oblivion Remastered, he replied: "You might say that was a test run. It worked out well."


Elsewhere in the interview, Howard claimed that Bethesda Game Studios has "hundreds of people on Fallout right now, with 76 and some other things we're doing".


One of the "other things" Howard is referring to, VGC understands, is a remaster of Fallout 3, similar to this year's The Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Remastered.

Is Fallout more popular than the Elder Scrolls?

Help us AI!

I prefer Elder Scrolls.

I know the Fallout series is hot right now. But as a game series is Fallout more popular?

GTA 6 has been content complete for a while but needs a year of polish says Tom Henderson.


Sony says Destiny 2 has underperformed and has some $200m impairment charge against Bungie.


Switch 2 game sales are smaller compared to switch 1.


Bloomberg says Switch 1 sold 3 games per console at launch. Switch 2 has sold 2 games per console, they say because of backwards compatibility.


I'd say Mario Kart being bundled didn't help.


What Switch 2 games have you bought so far?


I have:


Mario Kart World

Donkey Kong Bananza

Hogwarts legacy

Star Wars Outlaws

Cyberpunk 2077

Fast Fusion Racing

Hitman World of Assassination


But also bought several cheaper switch 1 games on the eShop

I’m sure the games costing more isn’t helping at all. Here many of the Switch 2 games are $100+. Only got two Switch 2 games myself. Mario Kart World which was bundled and Donkey Kong Bananza. Also bought Mario Galaxy bundle but that’s classified as a Switch 1 game.

gamingeek said:

Maybe it's because a lot of those switch 2 games are ports already out on other systems for months or years?

I bought them because I don't own any other systems.

Yeah, I’m sure that’s a factor as well.
