Can't believe we're in November btw! The year has flown by!

Started Ghost Of Yotei the other day and it's stunning. I love it.
Miles better than AC Shadows (easier plot to follow, character you care about)
I'd assumed my brain would be comparing to Tsushima all the time but it feels fresh & varied ; different enough to not notice.
Pricey but incredible game

Almost the same size.

Seeing all your posts about the extra hour you spent sleeping...I took advantage of the time change by waking up at 6.30am for a few rounds of Battlefield 6 😅

It's not about competing by the sounds of it. It's about generating wealth - a 30% profit target - for the Microsoft (trillion dollar corporation) overlords.

It's not about art, it's about shareholders, and we should be worried.
Competition was good.

"Our biggest competition isn't another console", says Xbox boss Matt Booty about Halo on PlayStation.

"We are all seeking to meet people where they are[...]We are competing more and more with everything from TikTok to movies"

speaking of Switch 2, Assassin's Creed Shadows (!) is coming to the console in December! will be fascinating to see those console comparisons 😱

Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛️ @kster91.bsky.social · 11d

Fallout 4, it's expansions plus all the Creation Club stuff is coming to Switch 2 next year!
If it looks/plays well on Nintendos console, I will definitely be tempted!!

For the Xbox platform division, hitting 30% profit margins has required a drastic rethink. For individual games, it's not a completely unrealistic target... except they're all released day-one on Xbox Game Pass, cannibalizing sales.

Much more in the story www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

""when the planets start to feel very samey and you dont start to feel the excitement on the planets, thats to me where it falls apart...I was also disappointed when the only serious enemy you fought were people… there's lots of cool alien creatures but they're like the wolves in Skyrim""

Starfield is a "good game", says former designer, but "space is inherently boring"

Jurassic World Evolution 3 is stunning.
Everything from the previous games gets cranked up to 11
all the buildings are considerably more customisable, you can download community designs if it isnt your jam
The Dinos behaviour & visuals are breathtaking.
I started playing at 3pm, it's now 10.15pm lol

Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛️ @kster91.bsky.social · 13d

Yessss

Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛️ @kster91.bsky.social · 13d

Yes you are! I love seeing you play all the cosy farming games, they look so relaxing!
you're in for a treat re. all the big more "serious" games you'd typically see on PS5 head to Switch 2 😁

Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛️ @kster91.bsky.social · 13d

Absolutely! sad reality is I barely used my Switch 🙈 I always kinda juggled PS5 & PC so I don't want to make the same mistake twice. it's all going to come down to the exclusives.
I've got my gaming mojo back Big Time tho... want to play EVERYTHING 😂 I dived back into SoulSilver on my Pika 3DS XL

Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛️ @kster91.bsky.social · 13d

Yeah you've definitely got the best experience, for sure! the battle mechanics, outfits, the amusing dialogue...it all looks really compelling. Plus Switch 2 boosts Violet version to a playable state.
I'll have to factor in a chunky SD card too sadly, cos my library 99% digital haha can't wait

Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛️ @kster91.bsky.social · 14d

Oh I've seen it in action on Switch 1, I'll wait 😅 plenty of games to keep me out of mischief in the meantime (I'll ask Santa for it)
