I'm not currently playing either of these, but I intend to.

Just playing through the quarry, although the term playing should be used quite loosely as it's more an interactive film. It's decent but not as good as until dawn, bit too many cheesy characters and dialogue options.

[voodoo ray]

after the other day I also intend playing starfield in september, presuming it doesn't get delayed.

You shouldn't pre order anyway.

[voodoo ray]

In these days of digital downloads I find pre ordering games weird unless you really want whatever bonuses a game has. Though I guess they're apparently doing early access. Though it's bethesda so I'm sure that despite what they say it'll be full of bugs and general jank until they patch it anyway.

It'll be fun though.

Good God, never!

I won't mind paying the £7 though for a month on it, see if it's good, then pick up once decent mods start appearing

[Flaccido Dongingo]

On to Dark Souls 2, but not liking it nearly as much as DS, had always been told it was the weak link of the trilogy, but I'll persevere with it for the time being.

Underrated game. Just avoid using lock on and look into raising Adaptability if you don't find rolling to click like it did in the original

[Metallinick]

F1 23 and it is fantastic. Much better than last years' misstep. They have fully addressed the handling on the car and responsiveness of controls. The addition of the new tracks and a decent upgrade of the graphics means there will be hours of fun coming up for me.

Is this Hollow knight sequel ever coming out?

that seems to tally up with what a lot of people have said so I will probably get it. I'm not really in any rush but probably next month sometime.

Bought Diablo 4 and it just crashed randomly... Great

The servers have been under a bit of stress today, but honestly the issues i've had have been very few and very far between.

[gjr1]

Just about to start playing Diablo IV on my shiny new PS5

Been meaning to buy one for ages but they where always sold out!!!

Well good for you but it crashed for me on my PS5

It's put me off for a wee bit ah well

Back to red dead modding. Some ex Nvidia guy has a patreon where he inserts ray tracing via ReShade so gonna try that along with various fun mods

[Chakan]

Well good for you but it crashed for me

Just saying it might have been a once thing. Did it crash again when you loaded it a second time?

[ToneLa]

Just saying it might have been a once thing. Did it crash again when you loaded it a second time?

It's crashed twice total since I bought it

I run a QA team I know how these things work 

It just put me off - not much more to it, there's been no time since, if it is servers like you say I'll just be better off going in again later

Was about 45 minutes in, and I'm not missing it - don't take this as an annoyed post, it can join the other games on my backlog

But when you drop decent money on a big game and it crashes on a a console that's not a great experience no matter what the reasons be. When I professionally come across some crash issues especially from the public I expedite them above virtually anything else

So by that logic I will try again soon

But it was at some really innocuous part, just roaming around, crash
Second crash, similar, not quite the same

I think it is valid to be put off, no?

I hope you're right and it's temporary server issues
The way I work is I want a gap now - isn't optional - made a bad impression and I'll try again, but forcing it isn't gonna help

Was enjoying it til then. Especially as I tend to think of Diablo as a PC game. PS5 version otherwise excellent

For the sake of other players I don't mind being one with the crashes 

And yeah I filled in the report / description. I see them in my own job, it's pretty funny actually: many people fill the box with swear words or insults 

[Chakan]

I haven't tried it on console so no experience with Diablo on that platform. Can just tell you what i've experienced through PC.

Yeah it does put you right off agreed. Have to give a little consideration that it's only been 10 days since release and it's one of the biggest anticipated games in the world. I mean the user base is huge. So there are going to be teething problems right off the bat.

They did a beta which crashed multiple times and the queues were over 2 hours long to get in. They fixed 95% of that before the actual release.

I can understand the frustration trust me (i'm a software developer by trade, so know the pain of bugs)

I would say just persevere with it and hopefully it doesn't crash on you again.

[RedKenWah]

Been playing Diablo 4 as well on PS5 and from my 20/30/40hr play through so far, only experienced 2 crashes which forced me to close and reopen the game, which was a very mild annoyance but think it’s been fine overall.

No complaints and good Diablo 2 vibes to it.

[Skeeve]

Had no crashes on D4 here, only functional problem I have had with it was just after the full launch when the servers died for a bit.

On the subject of preorders, if it is something I am likely to buy right away (such as D4) anyway if it isn't broken then I am fine with preordering in that window between the reviews going out and the game actually launching if there's bonuses that seem interesting or useful, but I really don't get why anyone would preorder a long way in advance at all.

[Hedley Lamarr]

I had two or three crashes on launch day, but nothing since then.  I've only put around 10 hours in to it though, I have next week to myself so I'll hammer it then.

Can;t believe how long its taken and i didn't see any news at the recent showcases. 

[IgorBobbins]

Tried to give Death Stranding a go - got about an hour in and was bored shitless.  Im sure it’s a masterpiece etc, but the gameplay did nothing for me, so I gave up.

I’m making my way through my backlog and it’s getting smaller and smaller.  And I'm worried because there’s not much coming out in the next few years that particularly interests me (especially at 30fps - I just cannot go back after the last couple of years playing 60fps on consoles.  And no, I don’t want to game on PC).  Every new or upcoming game seems to be a remake of games I have no interest in (e.g. Final Fantasy XIVIXVIV or whatever number it is).  Where are the “normal” action adventure games like Tomb Raider or Uncharted etc? 

[lobsterboy]

Necromunda: Hired Gun
Got it cheap in steam summer sale.
Bit like Doom Eternal if you crossed it with Borderlands.
Don't really know anything about Warhammer at all but the game itself is good fun.

Finish that then on to the System Shock remake
"Behold Your Ignorance, Insect."

I've been slow(ish)ly making my way through rdr2 again though I'm getting near the end of chapter 4 now and I really don't want to go to guarma.

Just like the real thing....it sounds absolutely awful. No idea how someone would want to listen to that constant, horrific drone the cars make for any length of time!

Original’s (Redemption, not Revolver) getting a remake I read this morning.

Wary after the GTA mess the other year.

that story seems to have been bouncing around for ages.

[classycarra]

finshed Humanity on playstation this weekend. it was a free psplus game, but someone on here kindly pointed out it was a good puzzle game (a bit in the mould of the old 2d game Lemmings).

recommend it as a good game you can dip in and out of for half an hour

[Draex]

Been playing Day of Defeat:Source quite the little but active community on steam.

Is this Hollow knight sequel ever coming out?

They were aiming to release it by 12 June, but a couple of weeks before reaching that deadline one of the devs communicated that they felt they weren't quite there yet.

The message read to me like only some finishing touches were still needed*, so fingers crossed

(*or they scraped the entire thing and are starting over )
