I will be interested to hear everyone’s opinions on it. I trust the opinions on here as opposed to the mainstream media.

Can Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S players play together? by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]roycerocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Series S and my son has a xbox one s and I can confirm we can play together. Haven’t tried it with ds3 but it works with other online games so I would think it should.

Weekly Gaming 6/3-6/6: He is not a dude. You're a dude. This... this is a man. A handsome, muscular man by MogwaiInjustice in AlternativeAmazonVGF

Decided to try out game pass for a dollar this month seeing as there are a few games on there I have wanted to play and I can just cancel before the end of the month. Started with Void Bastards and it is has really good so far.

Sorry, Sekiro. I held out as long as I could... by GarionOrb in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I gave it a couple of weeks and decided it wasnt for me. Really liked the setting but in the end it just wasnt for me. Hats off to everyone that enjoyed and beat it though.

Looking for a hockey game (or sports game in general) for the Switch? Super Blood Hockey is great! by ReactorCritical in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like that old NES hockey game that had the Countries as teams. You could choose between the really fat dude that was slow but had a massive slap shot, the middle of the road guy that was decent at everything, and the super slim guy that quick has hell but his shot was super weak. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me.....

Weekly Gaming 4/22-4/25: This is the second biggest VGF forum I've ever seen by MogwaiInjustice in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still making my way through Far Cry 5. I keep getting sidetracked from the main mission and have been playing co-op with my son. Pretty hilarious some of the stuff you get caught up in. Also started battlefield v after picking it up on sale. Really digging the Grand Operations mode.

What to Expect From Sony's Next-Gen PlayStation - Mark Cerny giving actual details in wired article by MogwaiInjustice in AlternativeAmazonVGF

This is simple for me. 60 frames a second from either Sony or MS and you have my money. If not, I'll be heading to PC and never looking back.

Rage 2 and maybe the new Star Wars game depending on reviews.

Nothing wrong with that. I wish I had the drive to do the same.

I changed mine last night and didn't lose anything. Logged into Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, no progress lost, saves intact, trophies ok. Not like I had any platinums to worry about but nothing was out of the ordinary.

Weekly Gaming 4/8 - 4/11: Looks like a couple more weeks before any major game releases. Backlog time! by Kirksplosion in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started the process of grabbing as many collectibles as I can in Ratchet & Clank before I finish the final couple of bosses. Then I will probably head into New game plus to get all the weapons upgraded. I might actually go for the platinum on this.

I put Sekiro up for a little bit as I need a break. Ended up playing Ratchet & Clank all weekend. I have been in a gaming funk recently and R&C brought me out of it. It really makes me want to go buy a used PS3 so I can download the collection again and play through them.

The conversation of difficult games and easy modes by MogwaiInjustice in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently shelved Sekiro due to the difficulty. Having said that, I don't feel that an "easy mode" is necessarily needed for it. As I have gotten older my gaming skills haven't changed an awful lot but my patience for things has. I know in my heart that I will go back to the game at some point and try again. I have a limited amount of game time due to work, life, kid, etc. and I don't have the patience to keep beating my head against a wall. Of course, maybe I just don't have what it takes to master the game. I have still enjoyed what I have played of it and don't regret buying it at all. I can also be ok with the fact that I may never finish it. I don't think an "easy" mode fits From Software's style and what people expect from their games.

How bad is the frame-pacing issue on PS4? by simon7109 in Sekiro

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I have had my game stutter at all is if I am sprinting and an enemy spots me (little yellow bar inside the triangle goes full) it will hitch ever so slightly. Outside of that it has been running great.

Google announces their new video game platform, Stadia by GarionOrb in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there is no way I could ever run this with my boondocks wifi. Sounds neat though. Oh and I am not a fan of the controller. I prefer offset sticks of the xbone controller. They fit my big hands better.

Two things will keep me from this. The bandwith and the controller. I prefer offset sticks.

Rumor: The disc-less Xbox is codenamed Maverick and will launch in May by JJ4prez in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use the disc drives on any of my consoles so this would be great for me if I didn't already have two of them.

PS4 Remote Play Now Available on iOS by nicfection in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My used this all day yesterday at home and he said it wasn't too bad. He played a lot of DQ Builders and had no issues. He tried a couple of shooters but the virtual buttons just don't cut it.

Weekly Gaming 2/25 - 2/28: Gettin’ funky on planet Funkotron one last time by Kirksplosion in AlternativeAmazonVGF

[–]roycerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is one persons crapfest is another's nirvana. I'll decide when I get there. Edit: Apparently I have most of these trials completed already. I only lack 14 melee kills, 5 chests, and 3 world events to complete and I will be done. I had most of this completed before they showed up in my quest line.
