It's early in my "this generation" journey but the motorcycle ride in the Requiem was one of the funnest things I have ever done/experienced in any piece of entertainment

Ok so I played Hollow Knight for a bit tonight and got to phase 2 of the boss. Wasn’t as bad as I remembered, I’ll probably take him down in a few more attempts. Those jerks trick into thinking you are done and then they come back with phase 2!

FWIW I got stuck at most of the bosses in Hollow Knight for a couple hours at least, sometimes a couple days. It took a good while to learn the attacks and how to play them. Once you get it figured out though it will seem really easy.

Hollow Knight got an update on the Switch 2 which is FANTASTIC. The whole thing is now high resolution with much sharper and clearer edges and text. The colors are also more vivid especially with the light effects. It really looks awesome. I started a new play through a couple days ago and probably halfway through the game. I won't get 112% because I can't do Pantheons at all but I do want to get true ending which I've never attempted.

I don't have a lot of time to play. But when i play it's call of duty.

Lost the fun in COD years, too fast but also slow in movements meaning if you didn't play 10 hours a day it's last place. Also the insane jumping and jet packs took away the fun.

Since the new movement system I'm playing again and absolutely love it. Still miss the levels you could play more tactical instead of probably teens running around the whole time. But it's a good mix now.

You perfectly described how I felt the last time I played which was back in about 2010. I'd log in at night after the kid went to sleep and just immediately got killed over and over again. Same thing the couple times I tried Fortnite when my kid was playing.

Way back in the day I used to play Battlefield 1942 and Planetside which both had some strategy or team coordination. COD was a lot more like Team Fortress or Counter Strike which was just a lot faster. Not my bag.

I think the same period.
Those CODs were amazing and loads of fun.

What i like about the new ones is that you also get kills when you "help" and not make the final shot. It keeps me much more motivated than constantly ending on the bottom
