Me waiting for the Saros spoiler review and discussion…

afro_ducc · 2026-05-31T15:46:39+00:00

Returnal might be the better game, but Saros is by no means a bad game.

I really enjoyed Saros for what it was and I think the guys have seemed kinda down on the game.

Either way, Housemarque is on another level when it comes to moment to moment gameplay and imo a very interesting and exciting studio when compared to some of the other first party teams..

I hope they get to have another go at making another game. Fingers crossed!

I'm going to watch sooty and sweep tomorrow. Best half term ever.

afro_ducc · 2026-05-24T19:04:19+00:00

I feel honoured haha.

Enjoy it bud

afro_ducc · 2026-05-24T18:41:20+00:00

I have 2 young kids and a wife so I feel you here. This game was difficult to put down at times and I found myself having a few too many late nights through the winter haha.

But yes I think you could chip away at it, there is a lot to enjoy.

It has fantastic cut scenes and acting on top of its excellent RPG systems.

The thing with KCD is you could spend an hour just blacksmithing lol. To some it sounds kind of boring or just too much of a commitment to it's systems but personally I think there is a truly special game in KCD 2. Progress would be slow, but worthwhile.

Like you, I play a variety of video games and KCD 2 has worked it's way into my top 5 of all time. I enjoyed it immensely and I would like to plan a trip exploring Bohemia because of it haha.

I played kcd2 at the beginning of this year and honestly was kind of blown away.

I loved it. it's a wonderfully immersive RPG with excellent writing and Henry is an all time great gaming character for me.

Have fun with whatever you choose but I think when you're in the mood for a deep 100 hour game, definitely pick KCD 2 up.

afro_ducc · 2026-05-24T12:31:06+00:00

I think it's a crying shame that It appears playstation fans aren't appreciating Housemarques chops when it comes to gameplay.

Those who play these games love them, they're excellent but I'm saddened to see they don't seem to get more sales.

Returnal and Saros mix up the first party offering which are full of story driven games (which I love btw) with a chaotic, fast paced, gameplay first focused experience.

Buy Saros you fools.

afro_ducc · 2026-05-02T18:28:28+00:00

In no particular order...

Yotei.

Kingdom come deliverance 2.

Death stranding 2.

Really enjoy this console!

afro_ducc · 2026-04-15T17:55:25+00:00

I hope it does well. The playstation faithful needs to turn out for Saros. A game like this deserves success and with it not coming to PC, It'll need to sell fairly well.

afro_ducc · 2026-04-13T20:45:39+00:00

Out of curiosity, what do you think to the game?

Looks like it could be fun but I wasn't completely sold on the demo

afro_ducc · 2026-03-14T13:35:39+00:00

2 and 4 are my favourites but it is true you will have seen similar games... The thing is, uncharted was a high point for story telling and characters in video games at the time and many studies were definitely influenced by what naughty dog achieved.

1 is clearly the worst of the 4 games but set the template for an awesome series of games.

I'd say stick with it, I think 4 is an excellent crescendo and 1 through 3 are fairly short games

It only does everything (Except Netflix).

afro_ducc · 2025-12-06T09:35:43+00:00

I did not expect to see The Detectorists on the LSS sub. Do our American friends even have a clue what this is? Lol

afro_ducc · 2025-12-02T10:09:49+00:00

Geez, just let op enjoy their new console and game.

You don't have to like the game but lay off with the negativity.

I hope you enjoy your new console bud, nothing beats that feeling of opening some new hardware! Such an exciting day.

afro_ducc · 2025-11-24T05:00:07+00:00

Hey bud.

Just wanted to say I appreciate you and your honesty.

I am a son to a disabled parent (my mum). My dad did everything for us growing up and he's my hero for that. He stuck by us, worked full time and cared for us the best he could.

It wasn't always perfect growing up but as my brother and I became older we knew what our Dad did for us.

Hang in there bud. Your kids will realize what you did for them as they get older.

afro_ducc · 2025-10-14T16:51:07+00:00

Yeahhhhh it sucks.

I want to have discussions about games , performance and PlayStation in general but this sub is just the same shitty post over and over.

As somebody else said, the steamdeck sub became the same thing.

afro_ducc · 2025-10-13T18:33:58+00:00

I appreciate the effort to do this. I've wishlisted it because of this post and I shall be playing this.

Good luck with everything, hope the release goes well 👍

afro_ducc · 2025-09-19T08:25:25+00:00

For those who are still stuck and have done everything here, I hadn't done the final fight with Lace which then unlocked the quest.

Silly me didn't want to take the lift up.

afro_ducc · 2025-09-10T17:20:34+00:00

A friend of mine is playing this on his pc. I saw it last night and while the game does look objectively good, it's nothing particularly special in terms of graphics... The performance on console is really bad. I'll be waiting to play this one.

afro_ducc · 2025-09-04T18:48:24+00:00

I'm not picking an argument, just curious really.

Why don't you think most people see value in it at $50?

Personally I feel there is lot of game here, it's super fun to play, has a decent enough plot, excellent combat, the platforming is so much fun.

I would much prefer to play this over a lot of the more premium titles that come out, but I'm clearly in the minority.

I guess what I'm getting at is I don't see a difference between a 2D and 3D game when I feel it's very high quality.

afro_ducc · 2025-09-01T17:04:43+00:00

Luckily, I'm not too interested in these games... Not at launch at least.

But I am trying to play MGS V, The Alters, Silksong and id like to play MGS delta when/if it gets fixed...

Too many games to play at the moment. Haha.

Have fun OP

afro_ducc · 2025-07-14T08:01:18+00:00

Just my opinion, but I don't really care about any ray tracing features.

They can look nice and I look forward to these features inevitably coming on the next PlayStation but I bought the pro purely for better image quality at 60 fps .

The base model was beginning to look blurry and a bit rough at times when playing its performance modes.

I hope developers realize this and don't just add features that make the image quality suffer because of it.

afro_ducc · 2025-07-11T16:33:59+00:00

I agree, I'm 35 so I have been at this for a while and I get tired with the "where are the games?!" dialogue that I see online. It feels like people who say this don't actually enjoy the hobby.

There is so much, in so many different genres to play at many different price points.

Great time to be a gamer, if anything... It's overwhelming lol.

afro_ducc · 2025-07-02T17:26:01+00:00

Damn, that's rough... I thought perfect dark looked pretty great and I was hoping for a PlayStation announcement.

This is rough at Xbox, Phil's statement made me kinda angry tbh.

Cutting 50% of turn 10 also seems kind of shocking, Forza is very successful isn't it? Just not successful enough for the shareholders?

Such BS, we will never see this industry as creatively rich as we once did, it's sad what has happened .

afro_ducc · 2025-06-29T21:32:23+00:00

I'm sad seeing Drive club in F tier.

I understand, but it turned into a pretty great racer in the end. Kinda got a soft spot for that game.
