When I was really young, I was on holidays in Portugal with a load of Irish kids and there was a guy in the group from NI. He kept telling us he was from "Londonderry".
I never in my life had heard it called Londonderry and I thought he was taking the piss lol

trash tier witcher/uncharted/tlou horse ai came from grubby westerners who see horses as machinery therefor create horse simulacra that control like their dull divined machine facsimiles, only the venerable japanese dev may delve into the necessary thingness of equine soul essence that causes a horse to look, feel, and act like a horse, for only a japanese dev has ever truly whispered to the noble beasts in an attempt to render them docile to our gaming whims and fantasies, tangibly both tactile and attitudinally harmonious with the proper tiers of ki, zen scripture, and shinto stone deity...though many a santa monica beach bum and eurojank glitch peddler have tried to follow in these noble footsteps, their efforts in vain, lost to time, calcified in mediocrity

Its Souls++ featuring a new setting and some new gameplay that doesn't need to be exactly like souls so they can play around a bit

Which is basically exactly what they should do.

I didn't realize it was from until this evening, someone was going on and on about it at work but didn't know anything about it, it reminded me of how excited I was by the cyberpunk trailer when it came out in 1995

I am now a couple of hours into Nier:A and in a pleasantly weird state of confusion. The game is fun and the switching between 3D, 2D, bullet hell and almost schmup is unusual. The story is both unclear and unpredictable with seemingly nonsensical events and yet the base story seems clear.
However, I am drowning in items I have no use for yet, chips I don't dare fuse because I am hoping for one with less cost and a bunch of weapons I don't really understand the difference between.
Oh and the music is phenomenal.

Question: There is a sidequest called speed-something and I am to race a saucer robot. However, after failing once, the quest says to try again but I can't find the guy anymore now that I have a bunch of movement chips. Did I maybe mess that up by advancing the main plot?

No, he should be back at the start but you might have to leave the area for a bit to reset it. There's virtually nothing you can miss permanently.

the weapons have different move sets depending on the weapon and where you have it equipped and what type of weapon you have in the other slot

they also have different max upgrade stats but that's not going to be relevant to you for a very, very long time.

Elden Ring does look like advanced Dark Souls with some bloodborne esque movement. However, seeing as I like Dark Souls and adore and love Bloodborne, there is no problem! :)

Probably going to move my PS4 into my office this evening and do some Tuesday Evening Dark Souls streaming! Quick question, can the PS4 be connected OK to a 1440p monitor? I feel like this was a discussion point about the PS4/PS5 somewhere but cannot find it.

The PS4 will only do max 1080p to your screen, the PS4/Pro/5 don’t support outputting at 1440p.
It’ll work fine!

I have a really hard time going back to games after a few weeks, even if they're as good as Yakuza

Yakuza is the only series where i take like a year to beat each game. Like a Dragon is the only time I actually beat the game quickly but I really loved it.

I dunno what it is about the games but I can easily take a 3 month break and pick back up like nothing happened, until I get to the part where the story is ramping up near the end and then I beat it as quickly as possible

its dark souls but with
-A dedicated jump button
-An open world (HM says "open field")
-Horseyriding and mounted combat
-A stealth system
-A weather system
-A day night cycle

its gonna be like when switch owners (myself included) wouldnt shut up about how good and better than other open world games BOTW is, basically.
