Got bored of Uncharted. I was wrong-ish. It's still an impressive game for its time, but after four hours I kinda realised I was doing the same thing over and over.

Started with another old game - Bioshock. I really can't get into modern games. They're too big.

Uncharted started an annoying trend that I see in loads of AAA games these days - rock climbing sections.

Every fucking game makes you stop what you’re doing for a few seconds to climb up a fucking cliff wall and shimmy across ledges. Pretty sure it’s to mask loading screens but it still annoys the fuck out of me.

Same as the exceedingly long lift bits in RE8, 100% to do with loading areas but am pretty sure that's how they do it in the TLOU with the dialogue sections where you can still walk/jog but not run. The way games load/render is changing anyway with the new unreal engine 5.1 update, when they've fully maxed out what they can with the PS5 capabilities we will see some stunning looking games.

Games will always have to load sections, they're just getting better at hiding them.

Speaking of RE8 I'm currently playing through the DLC, which is pretty fun.

TBF the PS5's SSD has massively improved the old loading sections. It's just a shame that most games are still being created for the older tech, and are hamstrung by it.

Decent line up coming to PS++ soon, unless you already have them of course!

Finished the Resi Village DLC campaign tonight. Was pretty much a condensed version of the main game. Enjoyable enough though.

There's me only just got to face the main boss bitch in the non-dlc version tonight must admit I've bloody enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Bought Hogwarts Legacy, runs like complete shit though without DLSS on my PC.

Good game so far but it really needs a performance patch.

Been playing this on my PS5 today. I must say it's beautiful but I load games onto the extended 1TB ssd as it suggests to improve performance of the machine and load times (you wouldn't even noticed.

I am however, finding the PS5 controls in the game a little tedious, for something that should be  pretty straight forward. The lock on target for instance, either works or doesn't, it may that I am being a bit of a dullard though

Were there loads of shit pubs in it with just a crap selection of lagers? Oh, Resi...

Started Atomic Heart yesterday on Gamepass.

It’s basically Bioshock: Russia, with a fair bit of Duke Nukem thrown in. Incredible world and setup, but with one of the worst, most unlikable main characters I’ve seen in any game for a long while. It’s also hilariously dumb, but in a fun way.

There’s a scene where a fridge tries to rape you.

Is it set in Wolverhampton?
