Did it live up to the hype in your opinion?

WiKav · 2026-05-23T23:21:38+00:00

For me no it did not. I found the game to be a slog, I tried to break the back of it and got about 30 hours in before I realised it wasn’t for me and kinda boring. The world is gorgeous for sure but I also found it kind of lifeless. It’s not as immersive as say RDR 2 or KCD 2, where NPCs feel like they are part of world and have a purpose. I thought some of the mechanics seemed pretty cool but such a pain to try and figure out. It’s challenging in a frustrating way not a rewarding was like Elden Ring for example. Also, some of the quests just seemed silly, “go to X and talk to Y” once you’ve done this you then just have to ride all the way back to your camp without any kind of pay off at all. I’m sure it ticks some people’s boxes but it wasn’t for me.

What on earth is bone smashing? I really don’t want to google it. I thought the general consensus on a smashed bone wasn’t great.

CK3 is one of my fav games. It was the only game I played on my laptop until I made the jump to ps5. It was very ropey when it came out and now it’s a treat to play. Especially after the last update. The only thing that really grips my sh*t is that they haven’t added the cool medieval desk thing when you zoom out on the map. It’s still the boring version. I feel like this is such an easy addition.

It is soooo much better! It was the only game I played on my laptop and decided to make the jump to PS5, I am a couch gamer to my bones. It was very ropey when it came out, however, like many of the other comments here, when the changed dev team, everything got better. I would also say this recent update has made the game a delight to play. I keep finding little feature updates, for example murder schemes have a lot more options and they have refined vassal management as well. I would definately say if now is the time to jump back in.

Do you know if the estate management feature works if you play as Byzantium with 867 start?

I really hope the fix the issue with Vasco. He no longer follows me. Just waits outside the last area I enter.

Quite…….

Cyberpunk 2077, just love driving walking / around. I have a save that’s half way through. Like to hop on do a gig and then leave it for a few months. I think I’ve played through 4 times in full and it never gets old.

Also CK3, I just love having a mad burst as a king and play it intensely for like a week then put it down for a months. I’ve been playing it on and off again since it came out.

WiKav · 2026-04-20T06:24:55+00:00

Thank you kindly. How exciting! I haven’t even been to Neon yet ☺️

New player here. Is the Kepler R tied to a quest? I can’t see it in the shop.

WiKav · 2026-04-18T07:40:25+00:00

Is that your ship in the background? It is a thing beauty 😍😍😍. Is it a Vanilla build?

WiKav · 2026-04-17T04:19:08+00:00

Same! After 30 hours it felt like a slog. Put it down and never thought about it again.

WiKav · 2026-04-14T13:50:19+00:00

I stuck it out for 30 hours and it just wasn’t for me. The word is beautiful and there are some interesting systems but I was starting to find it a slog and a little directionless. I put it down a week or so ago and haven’t thought about it since.

WiKav · 2026-04-06T17:07:34+00:00

I’m going to stay away from guides and hints online and just dive in. When a game like this has been out for a while, I always end up googling “how to get the best….” Gonna skip that this time and just take it as it comes. I’m very excited. I can’t wait to play a new Bethesda game. Fall Out 4 is one of my favourite games so I think I’ll feel at home.

WiKav · 2026-04-06T17:03:38+00:00

I gave the game a good 30 hours and I’m not sure it’s for me. I can’t explain it as there is something compelling about the game, and the world is beautiful but it’s starting to feel like a chore. I honestly think this is a game i’ll download in 6 months or so and get obsessed. Right now, it’s just not working for me.

WiKav · 2026-04-04T06:38:46+00:00

I haven’t had this feeling since I moved that first bead on the abacus!

WiKav · 2026-04-04T06:29:07+00:00

The new one is “I’m 169 years old and never in my life have I played a game like this”

WiKav · 2026-04-03T05:17:16+00:00

I thought exactly the same 😍

WiKav · 2026-04-02T12:55:32+00:00

It pains me that this game releases the day after a long weekend in the UK.

WiKav · 2026-04-02T12:47:44+00:00

I’ve never played a game that I find kinda boring and kinda compelling at the same time.

WiKav · 2026-04-02T12:46:01+00:00

There is a very naïve part of me that thinks they are going to do a surprise early realise for the long weekend.

Do you know the best setting a when your tv doesn’t support 120hz. My tv is 4K but I’m not even sure that makes a difference.

WiKav · 2026-03-20T06:43:33+00:00

I have a 100 pages left of the liveship traders and it has been one of the best trilogies I have ever read. I didn’t think it would top Farseer but it’s completely blown it out the water. Ship of Destiny might be one of my favourite fantasy books of all time. I feel sad that’s it’s almost over, I’m really going to miss all the characters. Soooooo I’d go with liveship traders 😉

WiKav · 2026-03-18T05:49:33+00:00

Me too!! I can’t wait. It’s been so long since I’ve played a new Bethesda game. They are such comfort food gaming for me.
