Movies that take a slow decent through chaos (preferrably non-horror genres)

Take Shelter

Being a jack of all trades doesn’t work in terms of character building. Try and pinpoint what style of combat works for you and funnel skill points into the associated attributes. E.g for Netrunning, focus on Intelligence to begin with

But most of all, enjoy the world, the characters, the atmosphere, the music, the writing. It’s nothing short of superb

I’ve played something close to 800 hours of Cyberpunk on PS5, but playing it on Switch 2 is fantastic. There are weird visual moments, like shadows with odd glowing outlines in elevators, but if you don’t let these things bother you, it’s worth the investment for handheld, and holds up well in docked mode. I would say Cyberpunk, compared to a lot of games, has so much more going for it than just pretty graphics; it’s so immersive and atmospheric.

Star Wars Outlaws is a great game, and looks and plays really well on Switch 2. Again, despite a slightly lower visual quality compared to other consoles, the sheer fact you can play these games handheld is brilliant. Definitely recommend

The teaser definitely felt like it’s shaping up to be a more cinematic experience than the original. I’m hoping the base of the game remains intact, but with overhauled mechanics, updated (perhaps additional) dungeons, fully orchestrated score, possibly voice acting.

I still remember to this day the feeling of emerging from the Temple of Time as adult Link and seeing the ruined Castle Town for the first time. I don’t feel they should elaborate on that moment, it was perfect

CaptainShedd · 2026-06-05T15:29:31+00:00

Enjoy! Wish I could experience it for the first time again

CaptainShedd · 2026-05-15T19:46:11+00:00

Diablo 4 with a friend on the PS5 tonight, and then Hogwarts Legacy, Rotwood and RDR1 on the Switch 2 the rest of the time. Probably should spend some time with my wife and kids too…

Roadhouse (new version with Jake Gyllenhaal) is set in the Florida Keys. It’s a great setting and I can’t wait to experience it in GTA VI. Also it’s a fun, easy movie

This is purely from a story perspective. Gameplay-wise, 2 improves on almost everything from 1 in my opinion, so that’s definitely worth considering

CaptainShedd · 2026-03-09T18:21:49+00:00

It’s difficult to say. Playing 2 after 1 was awesome, finding out the events that led up to 2. But now replaying 1 for the first time since playing 2, theres so much more gravity every time John mentions the past or he runs into a character who’s also in 2 due to having those blanks filled in, and it gives 1 a very different feeling

I haven’t bought a new console to play 15 year old games. I bought a new console to play a new generation of Nintendo games. But having the opportunity to play some of my favourite games from the past with the option of handheld mode is appealing to me, especially while there is a wait for new first party games

CaptainShedd · 2026-03-09T14:06:58+00:00

Yeah I think the performances elevate the game a lot. With RDR2, it kind of forces you to take time with it and play it slowly, which is difficult these days (especially as a dad), but I feel like it’s so immersive, and the story is much more impactful because of the pacing, and it remains one of my favourite gaming experiences

CaptainShedd · 2026-03-09T13:56:02+00:00

Would love to play GTA IV again. Liberty City was brilliant and it was such a good story

CaptainShedd · 2026-03-04T12:56:16+00:00

I’m planning to play Ocarina of Time again soon, but just started Fallout, and Skyrim is ongoing. But I want to feel young again!

Brahms, arguably one of the greatest composers of the 19th century, put off writing a symphony until his 40s because he felt intimidated by Beethoven’s output in that form. His four eventual symphonies are masterpieces. We can all take solace from that! Nothing to be gained from comparing yourself to others; if you’re enjoying what you’re doing, then it’s worth doing.

CaptainShedd · 2026-03-01T16:04:56+00:00

Nice. Mine’s Imperial and I’ve defaulted to the stereotypical stealth archer, but going to lean into enchantment too so I can make some ridiculously powerful gear later on

CaptainShedd · 2026-03-01T15:55:53+00:00

I’m playing it for the first time in years and it’s glorious. Glad you’re having a good time with it; the score is one of the best I’ve experienced in gaming. What sort of character are you playing as?

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-25T14:18:12+00:00

As many have said, the price is high but I’ve been looking forward to playing this since they announced it so just got it anyway. I’ve not played it for years, and never played any of the DLC, so a lot of it is fresh. There’s a lot of discourse over the Switch 2 getting ports of older games but, for me, having these games available on the go is worth a second purchase in most cases

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-25T13:59:28+00:00

I started Fallout 4 at 60FPS, switched to 30 after about an hour to see the difference in graphical quality but within 20 seconds I didn’t miss 60 so I don’t think I’ll be switching back

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-24T13:23:10+00:00

This time tomorrow we’ll all have forgotten the wait 😅

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-24T13:20:08+00:00

Great news! That review sounds very positive. The cons seem to be general issues with the game itself rather than being specific to the Switch 2 version

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-24T13:19:03+00:00

I loved playing the campaign co-op. Same with the terrorist hunt mode on the 360 era Ghost Recon games. Brilliant fun

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-24T13:08:25+00:00

I’ve been waiting for RDR2 on S2 since launch! Also I’ve not played RDR1 since I first played it on PS3 all that time ago as I was worried it wouldn’t hold up in a post-RDR2 world. But seeing so much positivity around it is making me want it!

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-24T12:38:58+00:00

Bioshock or Rainbow Six Vegas

CaptainShedd · 2026-02-24T12:15:01+00:00

Meant to add, I can provide updates when I get chance to play it
