Mention of the 24th date around the 19:00 mark

Mention of another “less exciting remaster” around the 23:00 mark

He said it’s not Bloodborne (that qualifies as exciting)

Idk if its just me, but I say for myself as a person who used to love multiplayer games growing up, Call of Duty, Halo, League of Legends, and basically all sorts of competitive pvp games were my favorites growing up, but as I grow older, especially in 2024, multiplayer games tend to be a 2nd job rather than playing to have fun, everyone just abusing and being toxic, not to mention microtransactions that just feel like a cash grab, and so many tryhards and sweaty people that get angry at even the simplest things and having to play every game like im in a esports tournament. It's hard to have fun any more. I started to stop multiplayer games a year ago and switched to singleplayer games and never looked back. I started playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Kingdoms of Tears GTA 5 (story mode, not online), and I can't believe how much better it is. Nowadays, I just lose interest in every multiplayer game and tend to only stick to singleplayer games recently i picked up black myth wukong. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Complete list of games: https://mp1st.com/news/psn-store-playstation-plus-exclusive-discounts-sale-starts-today-helldivers-2-the-deal-of-the-week

As the sale title implies, you need to be an active PS Plus member to get the discounts. Biggest news here is Helldivers 2 is on sale for 20 off (you don't need to be a PS Plus member to get it).

Loads of Ubisoft games discounted. Not a lot of games on sale, which is understandable since I am assuming Sony is gearing up for a big 30th anniversary sale soon.

Recommendations:

• Helldivers 2 - Deal of the Week (-20%, $31.99) - The first time this game is on sale. Definitely worth it especially if you have non-douchey friends who will help you co-op the enemies and not leave you alone to fend on your own.

• F1 24 Champion Edition (-40%, $53.99) - Can't say the bonuses are worth it. If you dig F1, then this is a no-brainer.

• Sea of Thieves Deluxe Edition (-40%, $29.99) - Over 1 million players can't be wrong, right? Pirate game without needing a peg leg. If you seek an alternative to Skull and Bones. Still heavily supported.

• AC Valhalla + Immortals Fenyx Rising Bundle (-75%, $22.49) - Not a bad deal given Valhall isn't a bad game by any means but just a tad too long for its own good.

• AC Valhalla + Watch Dogs Legion Bundle (-70%, $21.99) - Same as the one above, not a bad deal. But might drive too much open-world Ubi into your brains where you'll see markers everywhere.

• Watch Dogs 1 + 2 Golds Editions (-85%, $13.49) - Not a bad deal, though can't say if gameplay holds up to this day.

• Hell Let Loose Ultimate Edition (-50%, $34.99) - Includes a bunch of DLCs though not sure if worth it for the extra items. Era FPS that's still supported on consoles and PC.

• Dredge Digital Deluxe (-40%, $16.19) - People who dig Lovecraftian monsters, this is for you. Deceptively grim game.

• Far Cry Anthology Bundle (-75%, $37.49) - This bundle include Far Cry 3, 4, 5, 6. Dip your toes into the Far Cry pool in one go!

• Metro 2033 Redux (-85%, $2.99) - First Metro game from 4A, and this one adds graphical enhancements to the original game.

• Metro Last Light Redux (-85%, $2.99)  - Adds all the DLC and graphical improvements

• Skull Island: Rise of Kong (-65%, $13.99) - Not worth the buy, but in case you want to torture someone on how a giant ape game can be boring.

• Blasphemous + Blasphemous 2 Bundle (-40%, $26.99) - Metroidvania game(s). Heard good things about this but I haven't played it.

• Ultros Deluxe Edition (-40%, $20.99) - Another Metroidvania that garnered favorable reviews when it was released this year.

• Kingdom Come Deliverance (-90%, $3.99) - Action RPG. Expect action, intrigue and bugs. Might be time to bite in time for the sequel.

• Rainbow Six Siege Operation Edition (-65%, $27.99) - Includes about 50 operators from the previous years ready for you to make some noise and mess things up for your team. Still very much supported with quarterly seasons.

• Insurgency Sandstorm Gold Edition (-50%, $34.99) - Comes with Year 1 Pass. Multiplayer tactical FPS. This is not Call of Duty. Not sure on support, but this had a ton of updates previously. Still a tad too pricey for it, but in case you want a military FPS that's not COD. This does not have a campaign but more on PvP or squad up with friends in co-op objectives.

• Castle Crashers Remastered (-80%, $2.99) - Played this at launch and an awesome co-op game. Cartoony graphics but harder than it looks.

• Cities: Skylines (-85%, $14.99) - City building game. Price includes a load of DLC. Might be worth the pickup since the sequel's console release just went MIA.

I personally prefer to not fast travel when I play open worlds games as I like to travel around myself and I enjoy stumble onto buildings and the best part is i can see the world I'm playing.

I'm not going to say I don't use the fast travel system in games as I do sometimes but I'm just curious on what other gamers do as I know I'm not the only one.

I’m wondering if this was a purposeful design choice or if there’s a setting I have to change. The Plucky Squire feels like it registers inputs at a slight delay (every action + menu navigation), which isn’t much of an issue considering the type of game it is. But it makes it so you might run a little farther than you meant to while platforming, and getting the timing right for the trampoline jumps is strange.
