Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
So I randomly decided to upgrade my hardcopy of Uncharted 4 to the digital Legacy of Thieves Collection for $10. I've already finished Lost Legacy and have gotten about 25% through 4. Uncharted 4 is without a doubt my favorite entry in the franchise and LL is like my third favorite (it would be sec...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Started Spider-Man 2 and Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection recently. My initial reaction to Spider-Man, is, yeah, this is a continuation of SM1 and SM:MM. Everything feels very familiar. Sometimes maybe a little too familiar. I'm seeing lots of reused animations and side activities so far. This...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I've been playing a lot of Control . I was hoping to finish it before I travel for Christmas in a week's time, but I'm feeling a little burnt out on it. I didn't anticipate so many side missions. Overall I've enjoyed it quite a lot. I love the Oldest House and the paranormal investigation. It's fas...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I am done with Armored Core 6 . I've never been a fan of mech games, but really wanted to give this one a try given Fromsoft's track record for the last 10 or so years. I just don't feel that same Fromsoft magic in this game. The characters, world, and lore aren't particularly interesting or engagin...

Re: Amored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
So I bought AC6 on release, but have not been able to really start it until this week, due to the birth of my first child. I'm now like 10 missions in and, frankly, I'm just feeling like this is every mech game I've ever tried and put down. To provide some background, I've never had any interest in ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Been working on Star Wars Jedi Survivor on PS5. I bought it on release based on how much I loved Jedi Fallen Order. However the birth of my first child kind of put a hamper on my game time. Lol. I've been able to get a few hours in the last week as the baby is sleeping better now. Thankfully I also ...

Re: Deathloop
Just listened to this pod today. It's really quite striking the division between professionals in the industry loving this game and gamers not getting into it. I think Deathloop fell into the weird crevasse of it being too difficult/confusing for mainstream audiences, while being too stripped down f...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I can't remember the name of either the weapon or the perk (helpful start) but the assault rifle (carbine?) has a perk which refills your health for damage dealt. That got me through. I feel like redownloading it now. Amazing game. Carbine with Leech Rounds. I tried it a bunch. Leech rounds are nic...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
And please keep going. Chapter 4 spoiler: The music swell as you approach the boss and then the actual boss fight is probably my favourite segment of this generation so far. I get oddly choked up just thinking about it. So intense, overwhelming and beautiful. So, Chapter 4 and 5 are way more diffic...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Update on my progress in Returnal (PS5): I just beat Act 1 and my jaw was on the floor... So Selene contacts Astra to escape Atropos, lives out the rest of her natural life and dies of old age on Earth, and then comes back to life again on Atropos! From a "this is all a video game" perspec...

Re: 600: Demon's Souls (2020)
Due to not having a PS3, I played the original Demon's Souls very late, after having already played Dark Souls 1 & 2 and Bloodborne. As such, when I finally picked up a cheap PS3 and Demon's Souls, I felt a bit underwhelmed. It seemed like a very rough, first draft and, honestly, if I had played...

Re: 580: Deathloop
This game was a huge, huge let down coming from Arkane's prior games. I initially was intrigued by the "kill all the Visionaries in one loop" set up and envisioned a completely open environment wherein you try to locate and kill everyone in the course of a single day using your own creativ...

Re: 568: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
I never expected an attempt to combine gameplay aspects of Dark Souls, Uncharted, and Metroid with the Star Wars IP to come together this well. The worlds were fun to explore. The combat was always engaging and stylish. And the story wasn't half bad. I'm super hyped for the sequel. Strong recommend....

Re: 592: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
I have to agree with much of what has already been said about Prime 2. After loving Prime 1, this totally fell flat. The limited ammo felt out of place in a Metroid game. The world was less visually interesting. The story was far less engaging. The health draining environments were tedious. The boss...

Re: 584: Sonic CD
Three Word Review: Worst Classic Sonic I hate Sonic CD. I hate it, possibly more than I hate most every 3D Sonic. I hate that Sonic CD levels made an appearance in Sonic Mania and that it also clearly influenced several of the original Sonic Mania levels, meaning I can never play Sonic Mania again. ...

Re: 572: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
The universal praise that KOTOR1 received, plus my relative boredom with the lack of software for Gamecube, convinced me to buy the OG Xbox during the Sixth Console Generation and I was not disappointed. KOTOR is everything that makes Star Wars great. Likeable characters, beautiful alien worlds, and...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
In the last two weeks, I've started two games: First, Returnal on PS5. This game is something else. I chose not to buy the game at it's release because I can normally only handle so many Rogue-likes at a time and at the time of Returnal's release, I was trying to complete Dead Cells and had recently...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Ah thanks, I'd thought they'd remastered it. Could have at least added a 60fps, mind! I do really like this game, I think it's a shame the mission structure was so repetitive but there is little cooler than a getaway chase through New Orleans with the Stones Sympathy For The Devil blasting on the c...
