I am close to level 45 in New World. 60 is the max, but 45 is a huge milestone. I get a new bag slot. I've been trying for days. But I get so little XP. And not that many people are playing New World anymore so it's harder to level. It depends on people wanting upkeep of towns. And the lower-level towns are ignored. So it's hard. It's not a good solo game. I'm not sure I will keep playing.

I just bought Super Lucky's Tale for the Xbox One. Looks like a lot of fun, looks like a nice laid back chill, cute game

And it’s a very different game. It was made by entirely by just one person. I would give it a chance if I were you


I know you can make your starting character look how you want and name it.....but ...on the part where you marry and 'have kids' can you also do the same?


As I think on many of those games you can only name and customise your own original character but then have a limited set of villagers to interact with?


I'd really like to have some kind of 'memorial game'..I know it sounds weird but I feel it would help me complete the grieving process that was never completed with my parents



so say for example if my initial character I play through as is based on my mum .(not me) ..when I get to the courting/marriage part would I be able to customise one of their villagers? like change hair colour on one who would have most resembled my 'young dad' and change their name to his? so then my mum can marry my dad in game......choose what kids they have, boy/girl...same ages, hair/eye colour.. (as us..ie same age gap possibly? ...wait till one kid gets older before having another...can you choose when you have them?) and our names to recreate our family etc?


Just wondering if it would give me enough flexibility in the game to kind of recreate 'our family' in it ...if you get what I mean????


Thought you might know if you've played it through???

Unfortunately no, I don't think it offers that, you can basically marry pre-made characters that have their own storyline that can't be changed

That's a shame...wonder if there are any (switch) games where I can change the characters name?

Roots of Pacha looks interesting as like a stone age setting and the pre-historic animals...cute woolly mammoth



Don't know whether it will be download only though or have a physical copy but I like the graphics better than SDV.

Its a shame the developers don't seem to think about letting you customise other npc's within a game not only your one playable character, so you can create a family within a game?



If you can have married couples in some games then surely they can create parameters for family, mother, son, daughter, father etc?

I've been playing World of Warcraft. I'm just creating new characters, getting them to level 10 and then transmogging their gear so they look good. I'm bored. It's something to do. But I can't create any more new characters. I'm maxed out.

I found a video on YT showing how the guy made Stardew Valley on his own..have to say I was impressed with his dedication to it!!


It's here if anyone else hasn't seen it and wants to watch it.


How Stardew Valley Was Made by Only One Person - YouTube

I'm thinking about getting it now!

Just ordered it online, should be here Thursday!

Would have liked to be able change villagers names but sent it as a suggestion for future update, probably won't though ...so..I'm making my character as me..and pretending like I've just appeared in a parallel universe and have to try and work out which of the characters are my family members in the Stardew Valley universe!!

Anyway have to go for a bit... RL doggy wants attention! He'll be getting jealous if there's a dog in that game and it gets more attention than him!!!

I went through the 3rd Pokémon gym in Shining Pearl last night, got to the gym leader, almost finished the battle, then the game just crashed, froze in the middle of the battle and I had to turn it off, I have to go through the whole gym/all the trainers and the gym leader again, ugh. Maybe it's because I have the digital version, I've never had a game crash before

I started playing New World with some friends and we would play constantly. I've made it to level 48 and kind of lost interest. It's still fun, but it's so hard to progress without a group, and our schedules all have been changing so I play solo most of the time now. It's definitely not as fun solo, and I made it to a point where I can't progress the main story until I do one of the excavations and I don't like to do those with random folks, so I'm kind of just waiting until my friends and I can find a time for all of us to play again, haha.

I really want to keep playing it but I feel you, it's hard to keep interest when the solo gameplay isn't as fun.

Do you have to stay connected to the internet the whole time when playing digitally? Maybe your internet connection 'dropped out'? Mine does it frequently updates take hours to download cos BB is so slow out here..sometimes even overnight but if connection 'drops out' when I was asleep I getup and its still not complete.


That's why I can't play live online or download whole games or films.

Just got a nintendo switch. Any advice on what games to get. I've ordered a 200gb sd card which should hopefully come soon. Also is paying for nintendo online worth it?

I've been playing World of Warcraft. I really enjoy it. But my subscription will run out in 10 days. I will have to wait a few weeks before I can renew it. At least I have some other games I can play.

No I don't think it requires staying connected to the internet the whole time to play

But I ended up battling the gym leader again and I had no problems this time

Depends what kind of genre you like?


Do you like puzzles?...adventures? RPG's? ..prefer long solo adventures offline or been able to play with others 'live'?


If you prefer cartridge not all games are available on them, but many of the ones on the shop as download only are smaller games and cheaper..maybe some free demo's too I've never been on.
