Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
I'll get it for Demon's, GT7 and HZD2. Some of the expensive single player games will no doubt turn out great. It looks very much like they're building on existing successes rather than being especially bold. I appreciate why. I've never been enamoured with Sony's attempts at 'charming' so I can't s...

Haha, I have very regular mushroom flashbacks. Actually Bugsnax looked cool and the music was ace.ColinAlonso wrote: ↑June 11th, 2020, 10:26 pm Edit: Hang on, how did Bugsnax look familiar to you Stan.

Re: PS5 reveal sweepstakes/competition/fun
HZD2, Demon's and GT7 look great. Maybe that Tokyo FPS thing. Rest looked very familiar. Box looks like a fucking gaming router designed by cokehead Astro Bot.

Re: Retro gaming
It's £100 approx. Build quality is really solid, it's got a bit of weight to it. Nice little screen. The two shoulder buttons on each shoulder are a bit awkward I guess but I've not played anything where I need them yet. Using all single button is fine and comfortable. The D-pad and buttons feel goo...

Re: Retro gaming
Obviously not OG hardware here but I thought I'd take a punt on one of those RG350M Chinese handheld emulator jobs and it's superb! I've got stuff running previously via the PS Classic and assorted devices over the years but never really bothered much with emu. Anyway: Progear on a little handheld h...

Re: Gaming Telly Discussion (and Diminishing Returns)
I think warranty is always a priority with an expensive telly because panel variation and dead pixels are so prevalent and unpredictable, and can instantly wipe out what seemed like a great deal. I reckon BF this year will be an OLED bonanza, though, if you can wait a few more months. There's no rea...

Re: Gaming Telly Discussion (and Diminishing Returns)
Good points, Ben. My C9 is definitely a little bit dimmer than the NU8000 I had previously in this room. On the other hand, I have blackout blinds in my gaming space and the difference is frankly astonishing in peak conditions, and therefore incomparably worth the upgrade. If you're in a bright room...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I've appreciated what I've played of Days Gone but I find it a bit too depressing at the moment. My brothers have both recently played and loved it so it's waiting there. God knows what TLOU2 is going to do to me, though! That said, I have recently replayed TLOU and I almost appreciate it more than ...

Re: Videogame News
If they were disposable and you could get them out of a vending machine at a train station for £1.50 and it lasted like an hour for your journey (roughly six times as long as the original) and then you just binned it, yeah, OK. I might occasionally get one for that purpose, like I occasionally get a...

Re: Our next podcast recording (31.5.20) - 421: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
I'm a fan of the Uncharted spectacle, rather than a fan of the gameplay, characters or narrative. Dialogue is almost always delivered with a raised eyebrow and a smirk and the fundamental mechanics barely changed in the decade between the first and most recent title. Despite this, I very much enjoy ...

Re: Shmups
JTAG your 360? I'll be back to SDOJ but really knackered at the moment, pretty big swings in energy levels. Work is quite bad, sleep is bad, quite bad mood, not myself at all, unfortunately. Sorry to be a bit flighty recently, just not in the mood to post much but nothing personal at all, just wante...

Re: Our next-but-one podcast recording (24.5.20) - 420: Gradius series
I love these games. I've always enjoyed shmups but in particular this style that challenges me to improvise and react rather than demanding bullet pattern memorisation and perfecting routes. The bullet hell subgenre has largely passed me by for this reason, I can appreciate the craft but it just do...

Re: Shmups
Anyone played Q-Yo Blaster? I really enjoyed this, the levels and art style and weapons are really fun. The only downside for me is that the bosses have massive HP so they take bleedin ages. I keep meaning to go back to it, though. At my end, having not really being up to the intensity of shmups re...

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake
For all of its foibles and flaws, this is the undoubted beaming highlight of the year so far for me, and one of the very best games on the PS4 behind Bloodborne and MGSV. I also love how it dared to incur the wrath of some of the most rigid, steadfast pricks on the planet, by taking their expectatio...

Alex,
I think it's an online type of thing, almost like synchronised achievement bonuses, something like that.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I bought V on PS4 and Switch, hoping it would click second time, but I just don't really like it. I seem to remember that a single run also takes about an hour or something, as well. There's story and constant chatter. I get what they were going for but it's an uneasy mix, for me. What about giving ...
