Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Had a fair bit of new stuff that I played the last few weeks so I might as well talk about them now! So first off, I downloaded a few demos on my PS4 as there were a few titles I wanted to check out. First off was Prince of Persia the Lost Crown . Took me a while to get the hang of parrying but othe...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

So finally got around to finishing Victory Road and am now facing the Elite Four in Pokemon Radical Red . And it plays a really mean trick on you. One of the (many) QOL improvements this ROM hack has is that you can access the PC at any time so you can swap Pokemon in and out on the go. I would usua...

Re: 610: Yakuza: Like a Dragon

When I heard that Yakuza was going to become a turn based RPG, I was surprised yet intrigued. With Kiryu’s story concluded, this was a good opportunity to really mix the series up and if you have a new protagonist, why not a new gameplay style? Since I was already partial to turn based RPGs, I was o...

Re: Katamari Damacy series

Listening to this podcast was a nice blast of nostalgia in regards to We Love Katamari. I forgot about the firefly level, the one where you have to take down a gingerbread house and helping a sumo wrestler gain weight by rolling over food. It really was a title just brimming with creativity, what a ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Since Yakuza: Like A Dragon will be featured on the podcast next week I have been trying to finish it up as quick as possible. Just started the final chapter now so hopefully I will get that sorted before the podcast is out. Been enjoying it a lot and the turn based system has been a great change of...

Re: 624: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

As someone who greatly enjoyed the original I was very excited to see what the Gamecube sequel to Paper Mario had in store and made sure to get it for the Christmas of 2004. It greatly exceeded my expectations with a new world to explore, a diverse cast of Mario mainstays and completely new characte...

Re: 637: Sonic 3 & Knuckles

When one looks at the Sonic trilogy on the Mega Drive, it is quite clear to see that each title refines and builds up on the concepts of the previous title. Sonic 1 was an new and exciting way to play patformers with its emphasis on speed. However with the exception of two zones, it is mostly a stan...

Re: Games Completed 2024

I knew that Tetris Attack was a reskin of another game but did not know that the Japanese original is on the Switch Service! Nice when us in the west get the original Japanese version of anything.

Re: Games Completed 2024

Jan 7: New Super Lucky’s Tale Jan 7: Super Mario Land Jan 9: Tetris Attack This was decent enough. Really liked the Yoshi’s Island aesthetic. Got really tough later on with how quickly the blocks move up the screen and if it was not for save states I don’t think I would have had a hope in hell of f...

Re: 615: Pikmin 2

I was a big fan of the original Pikmin but my one big complaint was the 30 day limit. I wanted to explore this bizarre planet for as long as I wanted and thankfully that is exactly what Pikmin 2 gave us. This game to me is a prime example of a sequel coming along and improving all that came before i...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Just started up Yakuza: Like a Dragon . While I would have liked if this game was a later episode of Volume 13, I have to say I am liking it so much so far that I am already at Chapter 3 in a single day so I might get it done for the episode! Since I like turn based JRPGs already, I have no problem ...

Re: Games Completed 2024

Jan 7 New Super Lucky’s Tale This was nice and pleasant but not too groundbreaking. Controls are really nice and the levels are basic but nicely designed. This is definitely aimed at a much younger audience not only because Lucky is a wholesome, cutesy protagonist but also it is for the most part i...

Re: 611: Super Mario Land

I remembered playing this as a young lad on my cousin’s Game Boy and struggling to get far due to me not being used to the lime green screen of the Game Boy. It was a game I vaguely remembered but did not ever fully tackle until recently for this show. I was incredibly surprised when I finished the ...

Re: 604: Katamari Damacy series

Since us poor Europeans did not get the original Katamari Damacy, I played this through the Reroll remake that came out a few years ago. It was nice to play the original Katamari for the first time. Music, visuals and the satisfaction of making your katamari bigger all added up to a really fun exper...

Having played and adored Nier Automata, I always wanted to try out the original to see how it all began. So I eagerly leapt at the chance to try out this remake. Having finished it I can say that Replicant showcases a lot of great things but also contains some negative aspects that hold it back from...

Once I figured that out, th...

Been wanting to play something nice and simple to finish off the year and based on liking the demo, I settled for New Super Lucky's Tale . I was not expecting anything too tough but I am amazed at how easy this game is and it is very much intended to be Baby's first 3D platformer. I am already on wo...
