You were right about how binging the show actually affects your perception of the pacing. Im on the last few eps of s3, and I didn't really feel like it dragged much during the middle eps.

Peak lost

Taste changes, hobbies change and how one wants to spend free time as it becomes more limited changes too. I game a fraction of what I use to but it will prob be something I always do on and off but it's no where near close to one of my favourite hobbies now.

Also as we grow older the wonder and awe of games has greatly lessened. The current gaming climate would've blown my mind as a child. Imagine being a kid and having GP, PS Extra, these insane production levels, epic scales, etc. I was playing like 2/3 games a year and digging out every second of content out of them. 

Just play what hits and don't play what you're not enjoying, so much other stuff to do that it's no biggie. It's exciting though when a game really hits or surprises you again, usually only happens once or twice a year but worth it for when it does.

It's easy to keep up when they're dead

Thought Dark's discord was pretty active. 

Never joined the other one (SW discord)

Thought the discord was pretty good and had some cool people there. I just struggle with keeping up on discord chats especially if you aren't online often. Probably more a factor of me growing up with forums and just being more use to that form of online interaction.

Wasn't just NFS games either back in the days. Their sports games had incredible soundtracks, specifically some of the old FIFAs.

Looks weird af but I wonder if for once maybe they just said fuck it regarding ascetics and it's legit just gonna feel as good as a Dualsense.

I mean it's basically just setting up the continuation from the first game... pretty much all stuff you likely already know about.  No big spoilers IMO.

Alright cool, thanks, i'll check it out. 

EDIT: Cool trailer! First game had arguably my fav Spiderman story outside of Spiderverse and this looks like it could even top it. 

I'm still not a giant fan of the new look for Peter Parker though, honestly looks like a young Nathan Drake to me. 

Get this done already so we never have to hear about it again

50/50 on watching it. How spoiler heavy is it? The original game's marketing campaign gave way too much away for my liking

Getting massive Witness vibes from this. Looks awesome

La Bomba

Nothing about that sounds appealing to me lol

But game will be amazing.

And MS will get 70%. 🤣

LMAO. MS spent billions to buy them. Gonna spend 100s of million in dev costs yearly and are going to give Sony 30% of every dollar they make for not only doing nothing, but trying to sabotage their deal and you think this is a win 

How about you spend a fortuen on building a business, then work 100 hours a week and then give me 30% of your income while I sit at home and do nothing and you brag about the 70% you make . Deal?

Interesting way to view things considering it's still more the other way around.... Sony gonna get 30% of every COD sale still with zero investment.

Any reviews even out for this lol

Being treated like it doesn't even exist. Very strange from current Capcom. 

Feel like this would be a really cool Steamdeck game.

It gets so easy as you progress. The QoL is a massive improvement. 

Good to hear because that is easily my biggest issue with it early on.

First 2hrs is like intro for Zelda. Just wait until the world opens up.  

Yeah assumed so which is why I powered through cause I'll be honest, that opening area was painful af. I honestly find traversing the world such a massive chore in these Zelda games. 

I'm now at the actual open world though. 

Been playing a couple of things:

Rogue Legacy 2 - Everything I loved about the first and so much more. Easily my fav Roguelike franchise after Hades.

Redout 2 - This was a surprise, by far the best Wipeout clone I've played and in many ways even better than Wipeout. What it lacks in presentation it makes up in gameplay mechanics.

Finally got and started Zelda TOTK. Played about 2h. I reserve thoughts till later.

So glad this shit is over, was always a matter of time. Shame it couldn't happen early enough for Diablo IV to be on GP lol 

Legend 

Loved the first one, was one of my fav coop games at the time. Curious how the switch to 3rd person shooter will go.

It's super gay this season. 

Only getting hints of gayness so far. 

3 eps into Witcher S3. It's been decent enough. Nothing very special but also not bad.

I have never played a card game. What did you like about it? 

Ever played Slay the Spire? Same sort of deckbuliding core gameplay.

The amazing thing about this game though is the core gameplay loop but mixed in with such a unique and crazy presentation/story. Nearly saying anything would be big spoilers and tbh even saying that takes away a bit of a surprise. 

I'd call it a story driven card/puzzle game. It's on PS Extra if you have that, worth checking out.
