I wouldn’t want to be that guy on the bus/train trying to chat up that NPC in the latest BioWare game to get them in a romance quest line. LOL

You could ask Garth who he fancies in the village and then work to set him up with the girl of his dreams.

Then it would backfire at the wedding when the ladies ex shows up and kills Garth.

It would be funny to ask every character in the game "now take off your clothes".

The grannies might be into it or start screaming at you.

People in the village might start whispering about you. Calling you pervert. Denying you a seat at the village tavern.

Then you have to take out the tavern owner and take up ownership of the tavern.

Classic Elder Scrolls.

Will do when I start it. Need to polish off Cyberpunk then DK Bananza. So I'll probably just test it out first.

My secondary school was very much like a Hogwarts experience minus the magic. It was this old Elizabethan building and we were all in blazers with strict teachers.

So, anyone pumped for Hollow Knight Silksong?  Years in the making, hype level skyrocketing and it's finally nearly here.  4th of september!  Whoooo!

Anyhow, I probably won't be getting it immediately.  I've got plenty of stuff to play as is, but am definitely looking forward to playing it in due time.

I beat Bananza yesterday.  I heard complaints about how the game was too easy, so I hardly upgraded anything during my playthrough.  Played through the whole game with 3 hearts and only one apple container, effectively making most bosses and even enemies one hit kill you.  And even then I breezed through it.  Only the final boss gave me some real trouble to the point where I was contemplating finally upgrading some health, but I managed  to beat him in the end.  Now on to the post game content!

I'll play Hollow-knight some day.

Never played the previous game but this is hitting Game Pass day one so I’ll definitely check it out.

Thank God I turned off HDR on Hogwarts Legacy.

I was wondering why the colours were all washed out. I tried fixing it through the Switch2 system settings.

Tried to fix it through the in game menus. No luck.

I had to disable it on Switch2 systems settings on both toggles, both the overall toggle and the compatible titles toggle.

Finally the game looks good.

Game seems nice so far. It's a little surreal to play such an English game for me. Games are usually very American or Japanese, so this feels very welcoming and familiar to me.

Some shadows are awful, the hair is a bit aliased but otherwise quality is good once hdr is disabled.

I chose Ravenclaw as it sounded the most like me, had instant regret when meeting my fellow members.

One talking endlessly about her pot plants, the other about the stars. I wanted to die inside.

Hate the perilously slow enforced walking pace. The controls feel decent, plays like a 3rd person combat game at times.

I had to get through the long opening before I could enable gyro controls. The sensitivity needs tweaking, but it already shows promise.

It controls more like an over the shoulder third person shooter and you can manually just aim at your target.

The story and atmosphere feels spot on for the franchise, pretty impressed by that aspect.

The students character designs seem weirdly off. Some more photogenic, less freckled peeps would be nice. These students all look like they were raised under the staircase from birth.

I think I've made my feelings on Hollow Knight fairly clear in this forum, and I am definitely looking forward to playing this. I'm a little wary of the control scheme, as I think it's going to be a little more complicated than Hollow Knight was. Not necessarily a bad thing, but given the difficulty of the original, I'm a bit worried Silksong's going to be even a harder.

Whats with the Ashen skin tone?

Maybe the Lumos spell has faded their skin.

What house did you choose?

I've been playing it more than I thought I would. I like the open concept with missions.

Don't like that you can't talk to most npcs. I thought I'd enjoy exploring Hogwarts itself.

But its very much like a large church at this point and a bit repetitive.

How many fecking sets of stairs are there in this building. We need a magical elevator.

I called my character Phineus Bottom-Fart

I chose Hufflepuff. You know how to use the floo network, right?

Yes but I like to walk around a lot too, warping everywhere breaks the immersion and Im trying to get the layout of Hogwarts before I start quick travelling.

Does the game play differently depending on your house choice?

A little. I'm seem to be on a quest right now that I certainly don't remember when I first played this. I was in Ravenclaw.

It was such a small part of the game which probably explains why I didn't remember it.

I beat the main story on both Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty.

Great stuff, PLiberty campaign might be better than the main game. I thought I was done but then remembered there are multiple endings.

I went back to before the final phase and tried the other option and the game is incredibly content generous, Im now on a very long all new ending path and I have 3 more endings I can go for after that.

And 2 of the endings require you to be a different gender so you can romance certain individuals. Great game, I'll always remember this as my prime switch 2 launch experience.

On Forza 8, the Steering assist setting is set to "normal" by default. When I set it to "simulation" this morning, the game said it wasn't recommended for gamepad players, only for steering wheel. BS, I say! Steering is a bit more twitchy at first, but it's also a lot more responsive too. Took me a half dozen laps around Maple valley long course to adjust to it, but it feels much better. 👍
