I'm not a fan of joysticks personally, I like the compact Raspberry Pi with a controller. They're perfect for gaming away from home. I built mine a few years ago, it was worth the time and money.

I got my PS5 around October and pretty much only played PGA 2K23. It came with Last of Us Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West, and I also purchased F1 22 Champions. Lately, I have been obsessed with Last of Us. As mentioned in prior posts, I haven't really played video games in over 20 years. I was extremely nervous about getting back into them, as I assumed they'd be so complicated that I'd not want to spend the time learning. I was wrong. It's been a blast and I look forward to "unwinding" after the kids are in bed by slaughtering some Clickers.

I’m thinking of getting Kingdom Come,… could you share your thoughts??
This has to be the most frustrating beginning to a game I’ve ever encountered,… no tutorial, no learning curve. Just die over, and over, and over,…

You haven’t ever played Dark Souls then? The point of KCD at the start isn’t to stand and fight it’s to run away lol! Once you get to a point when you can train with Bernard that’s where you actually become a swordsman because before that you are just a clueless peasant

I’ve learned that,… and you still have to find your parents and bury them. I can’t tho bc bandits kill me and I don’t have enough stamina to outrun them. You have to fight during the Homecoming quest and yeah,… I’m helpless, slow fists against armed thugs.

I got the new god of war for ps4, the graphics are pretty insane for a ps4 game. It will take me months and months to beat it but I’m digging it so far

Everyone I know loves the last two,… I’m sure they’re absolute classics.

I HATED the first games with intense passion to the point where I just can’t pick another one up even tho I’m aware they’re a huge step up

that quest ends in a battle that is scripted that you cannot win if my memory serves me?

Damn, I really want to fire this game up for the first time now, once I finish Planet Crafter. Something about that fucked up start intrigues me. I enjoy clawing my way to the top in games, I generally dislike games that start you off already setup as some badass swordsman. Better to be a nobody in Skyrim or Oblivion than a well known Witcher.

The last two I’ve noticed have dialed down the arcade like feel if that makes sense, they still have some of the traits of the old games but they expanded on it. I’m not sure what I’m trying to say cause I’m not a huge gamer anymore but they’re worth checking out for the story and the graphics alone

I’ve got a question for everyone, does anyone else play games on easy mode? Ever since I got married and had my kid I just don’t have the time or energy to grind and get killed a million times.

Depends on the game,… I’m not a fan of these masochistic games. I got that out of my system in the nes era. Games are supposed to be a fun de-stressor now. So I usually put the difficulty up to the balance between challenge and not die constantly

yeah tbh though its probably changed the types of games i play. Before i would play a lot of RPG's and stuff but now i find myself with a spare hour i'll just get on a FPS game for some instant kicks

Depends on the game. If it is Halo or something? I'll play on normal.

If RTS or something, I wanna play on a harder difficulty.

I’m in the same boat. I bought the PS4 years ago for my kids and I but it rarely gets played. I just wiped out all the data on God of War, Skyrim, and The Witcher for a fresh start. The newest God of War looks pretty sweet.

Dude Kingdom Come’s frustrating continues,… I found a tutorial on how to get a sword early on but it involves lock picking,…. And,……. Impossible. It’s not that I’m trying to fight everyone, it’s that I literally cannot progress the story. Help!?

are you on console or PC? The lock picking is ridiculously hard early on especially on console. Best advice is to stealth knockout a Rattay guard instead and steal his gear instead of trying to lockpick the chest.
