Re: JoyCon Drift

So, I'm getting really bad drift on my lightly-used, 13 month old Series S controller. According to the Xbox site, there are no options for submitting a service request and they will not even deign to let me contact their help center about the issue. Even though I'm willing to pay for a service, app...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Slowly working my way through Sifu . Lots and lots of practice. The third stage boss was the first one I've really struggled with, and the only one so far that feels a bit too hard. Kinda hate her. Just managed to beat her aged 42 but definitely feel like I can whittle that down a bit. This game is ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Still loving Sifu. It's tough but fair, and it feels like I get a slight bit better every time I play. Doing well and taking down a big group without taking any damage is just immensely satisfying. Still not past level 2 yet, but getting closer.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Sifu on Switch. I was a bit daunted going in as I heard that it's both very tough and a roguelike (which I generally do not like) but something about it appealed nevertheless and I'm glad I took the risk as I'm really enjoying it so far. The combat and overall feel of the game is superb, as is the ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

RE4 is not only my favourite in the franchise, it's one of my favourite games of all time.

So I think I'll give 8 a try.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Hmm yeah if you're not enjoying the first couple of hours of Resi 7 I'd say it really not worth sticking with because although I enjoyed the game overall, it's definitely downhill from there. I got up to the boss fight with the bug lady and called it quits. Just wasn't having any fun with the game ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Resident Evil 7 It's.... ok. I see what they're going for with the survival horror vibe but I really don't like the combat at all. Hand to hand combat in first person sucks as it almost always does and that combined with the overbearing darkness leads to a lot of situations where I'm spinning around...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

It's also imo nowhere near as challenging as Thimbleweed Park. That game had me stumped good and proper and had me resorting to walkthroughs on more than one occasion.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Just got to Return to Monkey Island Part IV - still no hints or sneaky googling used... By the looks of it this is quite a short game, but can't really complain given the price. How long has it taken you? I've played the first three again this year and would say they range between 8-12 hours, depen...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Return to Monkey Island on Switch. It's so, so good. Everything one could want from a Monkey Island sequel. Art direction is just gorgeous (boo to the naysayers) and it's so slick and speedy to play - such a beautifully streamlined point and click experience. Determined to savour it and avoid cheat...

Re: Videogame News

I've only watched a little bit of the leaked footage, and while it looks clearly unfinished, it very much appears to indicate that GTA VI will be more of the same rather than the drastic reinvention that (imo) the GTA/RDR series is in desperate need of. I couldn't get into RDR2 at all as it felt so...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I also really appreciate the dialogue sounding a lot closer to how characters speak in the books, both in phrasing and in-universe terminology and aphorisms. A lot about the writing was lazy in later seasons of Game of Thrones, and what really typified this was how they dropped any pretence of havin...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Pleasantly surprised by House of the Dragon , which I am absolutely loving so far. It seems that HBO learned a lot of lessons from the debacle that was the latter half of Game of Thrones and have gone back to the memorable characters, interpersonal relationships, politicking and palace intrigue that...

Re: Videogame News

Octopath Traveller II was announced. A new game from the Danganronpa creator was announced - Rain Code Detective (or something like that) I'll definitely be picking this up at some point, but if I'm being honest, I found the trailer they showed to be pretty underwhelming. It looks like nothing has ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Hopefully they will patch in an option to opt to play online with only one or two other players in Shredder's Revenge - any more than that playing at once totally breaks the game imo.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

6 player co op sounds a bit too chaotic to be fun for me, but certainly looking forward to tackling the harder difficulty as online 2 player. The combat in this game, while satisfyingly simplistic, is exactly what i wanted Streets of Rage 4 to be, especially the inclusion of the ability to dodge/rol...

Just played the first couple of levels of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge and it's everything I'd hoped it would be. Feels like a game that's been made just for me.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Raiders of the Lost Ark Going against the general consensus, this has always been my least favourite of the trilogy (the fourth film not really being part of the conversation). Hard to put my finger on why exactly, but it just never grabbed me the way the other two did. Rewatching it again now it's...
