Spent my last flight on Cave Story - still great. They're a lovely little bit of kit. Think I'll revisit Head Over Heels on the Speccy soon.

Ah, play the Amstrad version!

I'm on playthru #2 of Elden Ring, doing a dex/blood build. My first was with a strength/magic build which is basically the game's easy mode, but I moved on to NG+ so I wanted to have a character when DLC drops.

Trying to play the game "good" is a nice challenge. I still have to summon a bit for some of the most frustrating bosses, but still very rewarding.

Not playing, but wish I were playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

I just started it and only got about an hour in before I pulled apart my kitchen. Its fucking great, if the first hour or so is anything to judge it by. The plot is you have a maggot in your eye... Need to get it out. That is how video games should work.

I spent 200+ hours playing Breath of The Wild. I tried picking up Metroid Prime Remaster and my fingers wouldn't adapt to the different button configuration, so I said 'fuck it' and bought Tears of The Kingdom. Because nobody likes a quitter.

I keep going back to GTA V, just doing random stuff (mostly flying) in single player mode somewhere around the half point in the story mode. The map is so detailed I just enjoy exploring it, I constantly wish there was more to do, kine like in Witcher 3, and/or there were single player expansion packs like in GTA IV. I tried online mode, I was confused by it.

Saints Row 2, GTA clone from 2008. The name is familiar to me. Haven't played the first one but it doesn't appear necessary.

The city seems to lack a little in character - no memorable or eye-catching location or landmark so far. Some of the controls are a bit wonky and shittily console-ported. To select a weapon you hold down Q and wiggle the mouse like the analog stick - impossible to do quickly. Why not just let me use the mouse wheel? Like come on, GTA already perfected these types of controls, why you gotta go mess it up? Spraying tags for the side mission is way more frustrating than it should be.

Also annoying is that everytime you exit an ingame menu it asks "do you want to exit? y/n". Yes of course I do. Why would I not?

Other than that, it's entertaining in the expected ways.

Never dug GTA aesthetics but I also like to just wander through big open worlds, specially post apocalyptic/fantasy scenarios (Fallout, Stalker, Skyrim...) it's my fave way to play from the get go, just take my time to do stuff , most of the time ignoring the main missions.

This is kinda where I'm at w/ TOTK. I have unlocked 3/4 sages and am just taking my time mostly an hour here/there mostly farming lynels/lizalfos for armor upgrades (and trying to find all the armors without using the internet which is quite a challenge)
