Still plugging away at Star Wars Outlaws on Series X. Have around 38 hours under my belt now, and even though I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the game I think I’m ready to move on, so will now concentrate on just the main quests.
On PS5 I’m still playing the excellent Astro Bot. I’ve now saved around 210 bots, so still plenty to find.
I’ve just bought indie game Caravan Sand Witch on PS5. Nice, chilled game to play, and loving the Mediterranean vibes.

I hope they haven’t put all their eggs into one basket resulting in just CoD for October. Surely there must be more unannounced titles coming 🤔

Maybe they were worried about being upstaged by Ghost of Yotei 😂

Haven’t played COD in years, so not really interested. Could give it a go as it’s on GP, but the install size always puts me off. I already have GP ultimate and keeping it, but that’s more for titles like Stalker 2 and MFS 2024.

Star Wars Outlaws (Series X). Clocked up around 30 hours so far and still enjoying it. Have only this week gone to Tatooine for the first time. Could have gone earlier but was saving it 😂 saying that, I still haven’t gone to Mos Eisley yet - I’m saving that now 🤣

Astro Bot (PS5). Serious GOTY contender here. I’m only doing 1 or 2 levels a day, and just taking my time. Amongst all the family friendly levels there are some really tricksy ones too!

The Plucky Squire (PS5/PS+ extra) Really nice concept, and love the way the game seamlessly transitions between 2D and 3D. However, I’m not a fan of the word puzzles, which are very tiresome 🥱

@JayJ It already has a release date - 19 Nov 2024

This is day 1 for me. Reduced install sizes are always welcome 🙂 glad they’ve reworked the “world updates” - that was a bit of a bugbear of mine in the last game.

These devs have absolutely no respect for our time! 😉

Is it me or are these batches of new GP additions getting smaller? Effectively only 2 titles for me here as I’m not a PC gamer.

Pretty much the same two games I was playing last weekend - Astro Bot (PS5) and Star Wars Outlaws (Series X). I want to buy/play Space Marine 2, but it will have to wait until I finish one of the other aforementioned games.

Haven’t bought it yet - too busy with Astro bot and Star Wars outlaws - but when I do it will be on Series X 🙂

I was possibly interested in the PS5 Pro (I bought the PS4 Pro), but at £700 which doesn’t even include a disc drive…PASS. Even if I could afford it, I can’t justify spending that much money on a mid-generation console.

I’ve done a lot of the (stealth) missions in Mirogana, so have probably done the one mentioned. However, I was doing another stealth quest on Akiva where you have to break into an Imperial base (the droidsmith quest) and just kept getting caught 😡 I ended up following a YouTube video on exactly what path to take 😂

I have it installed, but Star Wars Outlaws and Astro bot are keeping my busy right now.

Mostly jumping between Star Wars outlaws (Series X) and Astro Bot (PS5). Have played around 17-18 hours on SWO and am really enjoying it. Astro Bot was only released yesterday so have only played around 2 hours but it’s been great fun so far. Trying to limit my gaming sessions on Astro because I know it’s not a huge game and I don’t want to rush through it.

This is on my wishlist but I have too many other games to play right now, and the next few months looks stacked too. Maybe by the time there’s a lull in new releases this will be on Gamepass 😃

@Lup the Avatar game is nowhere near as good as Star Wars Outlaws, and I liked the Avatar movies. Avatar (the game) looks gorgeous, but that’s about it. I got bored with it very quickly. Obviously this is just my humble opinion, I’m just saying watch some YouTube videos first, or if you can try the game for free first do that. Glad you’re enjoying Star Wars Outlaws, I’m loving it so far.

Mostly playing Star Wars Outlaws, which I’m loving so far. It has a good balance of exploration, combat, and stealth, and I haven’t even done any space combat yet! Have mostly been doing stuff on Toshara (the windy planet), including side quests and unlocking abilities through the experts. Nix is quite cute, and often very helpful. This is the first game probably since Stellar Blade where I actually look forward to getting home and playing it 😀

I’ve been playing the Gold edition since Tuesday 🙂 Really enjoying it so far. Don’t know if I’ve just been lucky but haven’t had no bugs either, played around 6-7 hours.

This is definitely on my radar, though the next few weeks I’m gonna be busy with Star Wars Outlaws and Astro Bot. Saying that, if this reviews well I may not be able to wait 🤪

Free credits? Jeez, I already have several million unspent credits in the game 🙄

Unfortunately my TV doesn’t support the 40fps option 🙁 I’ve been playing in performance mode and haven’t really had any issues. I’m sure Ubisoft will be further optimising the game anyway. Another interesting point in the DF video was regarding the widescreen (21:9) picture option. If you use it in normal gameplay (it defaults to it anyway for cut-scenes) it seems you actually lose some of the picture. Rather than optimising the picture for widescreen, it seems Ubisoft have just slapped some black borders on the normal (16:9) image. The 21:9 option may look more “cinematic”, but I’m sticking with the 16:9 (fill screen) option.

Too busy playing SW Outlaws right now, but will give this a go when it hits Gamepass next week 🙂

A complete no-brainer for me. I like most Ubisoft open world games, and I like Star Wars. Have preordered the Gold edition, so will be playing it in the morning 🙂

Looks like that delay has paid dividends. Looking forward to this!

Some shadow drops are always nice 🙂

I’ll definitely play it at some point, but not at launch as it’s release date sits between 2 other games I’ll be getting - Star Wars Outlaws and Astro bot.

Gutted, but there’s no shortage of new games between now and the end of the year - Star Wars outlaws, AC Shadows, Astro bot, MS Flight simulator 2024, Age of mythology, Black myth Wukong - to name but a few 🤷🏻‍♂️

Apart from my staple racing games - Forza Motorsport and EA WRC - I seem to be in something of a gaming rut at the moment. Recently tried Flintlock Seige of dawn and Kunitsu-gami path of the goddess, but just couldn’t get into either. Have now downloaded Lies of P and Callisto protocol, and will see how I get on with them. That’s one of the great things about GP - being able to just try out different games and see what clicks.

So the 11 years old GTAV is in the top 10 not once but twice?!? Seriously, who tf is still buying this game? 😂

How can we complicate GP tiers even further? I know…🙄

@PJOReilly @Nightcrawler71 Possibly. Will try again this evening.

I downloaded the free trial for this, but every time I tried to play this morning it wouldn’t connect to the server 🙄

I vaguely remember the basics of American football (4 attempts to move the ball 10 yards, or something) but is this accessible for lapsed players?

How many “overhauls” has this game had now?!? 😂 seriously though, I haven’t touched it in years - is it still welcoming to new or lapsed players, or will I find it overwhelming?

1) are there any difficulty options?, and 2) can we preload if playing it on GP?

@awp69 ok, thanks for clearing that up 👍

Just started playing Rage 2 again, which is a blast. Forgot how satisfying the guns are. The graphics still hold up surprisingly well too.

According to you Flintlock is out 18 July (Thursday), but your sister site - PushSquare - says it’s out 16 July (Tuesday) who’s right? 🤔

@kingtoten cool, cheers 👍 will give it a go

I played Tchia on PS5 and tbh I got bored with it pretty quickly. I’m eager to finally play Neon white though!

In the UK I often use either CDkeys or Shopto.

Can you solo this game?

I’m in my early 50s, no kids, and probably game as much as I always have. My reflexes may not be quite as sharp though, hence why I rarely play online 😂

I finally get to play Neon white! I’ve had this game on various wish lists but never pulled the trigger.

@JayJ they fixed the “washed out” look in one of the earlier updates where they adjusted the game’s gamma and black level settings, which I believe was the cause. Trust me, the game looks great now 👍

I still play this regularly, mainly for the monthly open tour class races, and the game looks amazing. There’s still room for improvement though in other areas, like the AI. Also I wouldn’t mind seeing a city track added to the mix, maybe Rio from FM7? 🤔

@Mustoe yeah FH3 was easily the best one, especially if you were mainly playing single player like myself. 4&5 may be graphically better but had too much emphasis on online stuff.

I haven’t played MFS for a while, but are the city/world updates still handled in the same way? If I remember rightly you could only update whilst in the game menus? Hope they address this for MFS 24.

My time at Sandrock is on my wishlist so will definitely give that a go.
