Re: Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Really enjoyed the discussion on this one. Turns out the story was even more ludicrous than I'd remembered.

Re: Games Completed 2023
I finished and platinumed that Elden Ring after 120 hours and basically doing nothing else with my free time. While it's a great game, I'm left a little disappointed due to the FromSoft excesses rearing their ugly head again; especially how they can't help themselves when it comes to ridiculous dif...

Re: Videogame News
So Hogwarts Legacy looks quite good. Anyone here interested in picking it up? I haven't read the books or watched the movies so I'm not the target market. Or so I thought until I caught a glimpse of the combat and exploration. Looks fun. Although I'll probably hold off for a bit and get it on sale....

Re: Videogame News
My dislike for Rowling probably does colour my views of the franchise at this point, but I'm not sure I would have been keen on this anyway. I loved the books as a kid, but I never dreamed of entering that world without that particular cast of characters and within that particular story. I am curiou...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I bought the Mr X DLC for Streets of Rage 4 and was pleasantly surprised to find they'd added a survival mode. I obviously didn't pay attention to the trailer I watched, as I was expecting only a few extra stages. I'd have been happy with that but a whole new mode is even better. Survival brawler ma...

Re: 555: Condemned 2: Bloodshot
I had a blast with this game at the time, but my memory of it now is patchy. I think it was fairly short and easy to get through, and not one I thought too much about or felt the desire to return to since. My feeling was that the combat was more enjoyable than the first, but it being easier to batte...

Me too! This is an especially pleasant and relaxed corner of the internet.

Re: 534: Maniac Mansion
Loved this episode! LucasArts adventure games were the first games I really loved as a child and, when I idly clicked “Use computer” on 'The Day of the Tentacle', my six-or-so-year-old-self thought he'd uncovered a secret that nobody in the world had ever seen. Obviously this wasn't true. But 'Mania...

I haven't played Twisted Metal: Black for over a decade, but I LOVED it back in the day, and I think it fits the bill.

Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, X-Men Legends 1&2, The Punisher, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, Burnout 3, Dynasty Warriors 3 or 4, the Onimusha games, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Devil May Cry... I don't think I'm helping with hidden gems! I second Dynasty Warriors 3 or 4. They can be a little jank...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Playing Final Fantasy 8 for the first time since release! After listening to the podcast about this show I definitely now see how bat shit crazy the story turns… I was enjoying the story until the start of disc 2. And then yep and a fat alien named NORG is in the basement of the garden running the ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I'm playing the FFX HD remake and have decided to go for 100% completion. I was appreciating the relaxation of grinding, good for music/podcast listening, so I thought I might as well give it a go. Unfortunately, this means I have to play a heck of a lot of Blitz Ball in order to win all of Wakka's ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
It's such a great game. I played the first couple of hours then fell off it for ages, but when I went back I just binged through it entirely. It nails everything. The story, the characters, even the ending. Loved it, and may well do a totally different style playthrough at some point. Yeah, so much...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I got Disco Elysium for my birthday over the weekend, and I thought it might help me through my hangover on the following day. About 5 minutes in, my guy died of a heart attack trying to take his tie down from the ceiling-fan. Suffice to say, I've been in love with it ever since. You might think it ...

Re: Elden Ring
I'm about 22 hours in now and just defeated Godrick the Grafted last night. He wasn't so tough, took three attempts, and his second phase is brilliant! God, I wish I could agree! He and Margit both had me on a death loop for at least a couple of hours. I think I'm pretty bad at getting the patterns...

Re: Elden Ring
I've not played a Souls game before- will I like this? I'm getting put off by the difficulty. Some say this is the hardest Souls game they've played. I love open-world games, such ask Skyrim and BOTW. I'm currently having a blast playing Horizon: Forbidden West. It's a vibrant, beautiful game with ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
It doesn't seem like I need to be saving ammo as much as I am in Resi Village , but it's an ingrained habit I find hard to break. It's not causing me any trouble anyway, I mostly circle around zombies slashing at them with my knife, I imagine from third-person it would look like the pool cue bit in ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Started on Resident Evil Village over the weekend. It's my first time playing one of these with headphones, it really ratchets up the tension and I'm not sure how it's taken me this long to try it. During the introductory traipse through the dark every rustle or snort was getting to me even though I...

Re: Help me make an all time greatest comedy film list!
Humour is very subjective - I've met people who take The Sopranos or Breaking Bad completely on face value and don't see the humour layered into them, which always surprises me as I think they are both frequently laugh out loud funny. "He killed 16 Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorat...
