That was quite a slog.  A very enjoyable one for the most part but not without some tedious tasks.

Wow, that is huge!

I wanted to like RDR2, I enjoyed RDR1, but I couldn't get past the grind. So many tedious tasks, like collecting food to give to animals. I don't need a life simulator, I already have to feed my animals in real life.

Nice work - the secret achievement of finding where to put the squirrel statue was an odd one!

I'm @ 97% on my second play-through, but spend all my time on RDR Online these days so I don't see myself finishing story mode 100% again any time soon.

I know what you mean, I also had a false start when I first got the game but then decided to give it another crack and got invested.  I have spoken to two or three other people who experienced the same.  I think you can complete the story without having to do too much boring stuff particularly once you unlock fast-travel, but yeah, agree it's not non-stop action.

I think it was an attempt by Rockstar to inject a bit humour of stereotypical domestic behaviour where the bloke tries to contribute something to the home-decor and the mrs doesn't like it so she hides it, but it might have been a bit too subtle.  I quite enjoyed it (but certainly couldn't have completed the mission without some Google-foo, along with many of the other collectibles).

Finished Spiderman Remastered including all DLC's 100%. Not Platinum as some 'challenges requiring 3 stars were pretty tough to even get 2 stars on and I couldn't be bothered looking for all the secret photos. But all missions and sidequests and at least 2 stars on all challenges. I really enjoyed it. JJ Jamieson was funny with his broadcasts throughout. He has the perfect voice for that role. 

Now I am trying to decide what next. 

I still haven't played Cyberpunk 2077, is it worth it now?

I got close to 100% completion on CP77 - finished a month or so ago. I bought it earlier in the year then waited until the PS5-optimised free downloadable re-do came out several months ago.

I spent a lot of time on it and totally loved it - one of the better games I have played for a long time. As we all know, the original release was plagued with problems on consoles. With the re-done version I had virtually no glitches or issues - fewer than I have had on other big-name games in recent years.

I have been intending to put my copy up for sale, initially here on GZ. I will do it now and you may wish to look at it to see if you're interested. My positive comments here honestly have nothing to do with the fact I'm selling my copy. It's excellent IMHO.

Ah, yes, I picked up the PS5 version when it came out, played it for a week, then took a holiday off to the Lands Between (Elden Ring) and never returned to CP77! I'll need to get back to that...

Thanks, I own it, I bought it at release time, but was waiting until it's visuals and bugs had been improved on. 

I will give it a go. 

Cheers

After about 6 hours of Cyberpunk 2077 I am really struggling to get into it. 

Did anyone else struggle to get started and persisted and thought it was worthwhile?

@eracode any tips or tricks that might make playing CP2077 a bit more fun? I don't really know what's going on most of the time :) There is so much going on, hard to know what to focus on. I did go around and collect some cars, and have been doing a few of the side missions, but I'm just not 'getting' it. Did it take you a certain amount of time to get the hang of it? 

Playing Stray at the moment, but got stuck because of a stupid respawn point in the sewer part. Will give up if I cant get thru it tonight or over the weekend. Terrible game design for it to do what it did. No spoiler tags on here so not putting what it is...

Dinkum on Steam.  It's basically Animal Crossing in Australia, all made from one developer.  Only issue is that multiplayer isn't co-op its more just a visit their island and help them do tasks sort of thing, but the reviews on steam are really good and its a nice chill game where time just flies
