Sounds like the campaign/progression has had the biggest overhaul from 5 (theyvre brought back the wristband system). I know you start off simply as a tourist and not a known racer this time around
The map seems great - he was bouncing between 5 and 6 during the playtest and he says Mexico is kinda hard to go back to after experiencing Japan

Theyve added pokemon to no mans sky
Ever played Mother 3? Better than any book Iāve read in the past 10 years. If you donāt feel like faffing around with emulators I have it as a repro cart which can be plugged into a regular GBA.

I played through the trilogy nearly a decade ago. There IS a really good, layered overarching storyline that is unfortunately diminished by wacky anime comedy bullshit and, yeah, really problematic portrayals.
I would recommend playing through at least 1 and 2 (3 ruined the whole series for me) but I wouldnāt blame you for packing it in due to the aforementioned portrayals as they really donāt get any better.
Very odd series.

Honestly wouldnāt take that much to fix what Iāve seen so far, but you just know with the kinda fanbase this sort of thing attracts itād be more trouble than itās worth.
Definitely not packing it in as Iām curious to see where it goes, but less sure about buying 2 or 3 now.
Excited to see what variety of JDM cars will be available. Iām also assuming there will be lots of user-made hentai-themed designs for each car.
Watching the Mrs play Pokopia is a rare moment I enjoy watching someone else gaming

Keep watching Crimson Desert videos on YT. Those who have it - is it clunky? Seems to be lots of control and elementsā¦but it looks fun!
Fallen into a FIFA 25 seasons well in the last few days. I pine for Pro Evo to return properly but it is pretty good.
I always go a pretty average team which gives me the moral high ground but it can get frustrating playing against the same teams over and over with the same superhuman players who can do ridiculous dribbles and score from positions theyāve really not earned.
Was so gratifying to play against someone last night who had chosen chesterfield after having played Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern and Argentina. It was my final game of the season and got me promoted up a league (higher than Iāve been previously) when I won.
Itās mostly because there are a shitload of commands they had to fit into a single controller. So there is more friction and quirks in the controls than most modern games and that being coupled to a RDR2 style āgroundedā feeling led to a lot of complaints at the start.
They have patched things though and once youāre used to it, it feels pretty good IMO.

Been chipping away at Liberty City Stories on PS2 over the last year or so. One thing that impresses me about it is how unforgiving it is in painting its characters as these hopeless, pathetic losers who are rewarded pretty much nothing for their crimes. Weird little game.

Yes to all of that. Yes itās clunky, yes there are a lot of controls and elements but yes it is also a lot of fun despite that. I do need to keep checking the help files for what button combination are needed for specific things that I learned 6 hours ago and then didnāt need again until now.
Iām only really just discovering what you can do in the game (a little over 18h in it so far) but there are so many really nice random things you can do in the game. I am currently loving taking on enemy encampments and going all WWE and āstone cold stunningā them all into the ground whilst simultaneously becoming the greatest cat burglar the world has ever seen whenever I go into the main town.
Graveyard keeper is free to own if you redeem by april 14th on steam/xbox and playstation

Elden Ring remains Brutally Difficult, but itās also utterly amazing. I am so hooked
TBH, at the minute it feels like the biggest issue Iām having is the PS5 pad itself. I really donāt think I like it very much. It feels so heavy and unwieldy compared to my Switch 1 and 2 Pro pads; the stick and button placement is weird, the lack of customisable back buttons sucks now that i am used to such a thing, the option button is too close to the big flat pad button thing and that feels kinda cheap and clunky. I get sore and numb hands after a couple of hours play, and thatās never been a problem with the switch pads. Hopefully Iāll get used to it, but the pad is definitely the main thing Iām leery about in my PS5 adventure thus far (I also find the console UI rather obtuse and convoluted, but again, Iāll get used to it)
