Re: Games Completed 2022

I finished Witcher 2. Sure, it's a better game than the first, but there's some stuff from the original game that clicked with me, even if they were a bit archaic. I'm looking forward to finally seeing what all the fuss was about with the third game. I also finished the first Uncharted game, which ...

Re: Your soothing gaming fix

For me there ain't nothing more soothing than a trip to River City. I've played this game so many times it's like sense memory to me. Heck, I want to play it right now as I type this.

Re: Our next podcast recording (20.2.22) - 507: Kingdom Hearts / Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 ReMIX

What a long, strange, long, weird, long, IP packed, long, exciting, long, memorable, LONG strange trip the past twenty years have been, into the world of Kingdom Hearts. I remember hearing the news about Kingdom Hearts back in the day and I met it with bemusement, and a dash of confusion: Square Eni...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Spent the weekend playing Resident Evil 7. I skipped it until now due to not liking first person but finally relented with Village's recent videos (bought the RE7/8 package). I've beat the game twice now and enjoyed it much more than i thought I would. But it really didn't feel like Resident Evil t...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Gonna dig into some games I've played a while ago but didn't talk about (and games I'm playing now): Cyberpunk 2077 - back in October, Target had this on sale for a tenner and I figured YOLO. It runs surprisingly decently on my seven year old Xbox One. I mean, it still freezes and stutters quite a b...

Batman: Return to Arkham- Arkham Asylum - XBox One, 1/8 So the Return to Arkham games are on the "Last Chance" sale for only $4.99 for the next week or so and I finally took the plunge, after playing the original on both the 360 and the PS3. I tore through this third playthrough in a matt...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Succession really hit it out of the park again, with a surprise ending that seemed perfectly appropriate in hindsight.

Re: Halo Infinite

Beat the main campaign tonight. You can tell this was a troubled development, because the back half of the campaign is nothing but endless corridor shooting while climbing or descending a tower. And the right side of the map is almost completely inaccessible by fast travel, despite the levels that t...

Re: Halo Infinite

Hahaha, you guys are joking right? Nobody uses plasma weapons. Oh god, am I really that stupid? The answer has been in front of me all this time? I'm a little over eight hours into the campaign. I'm enjoying it quite a bit- it's the kind of story that really lends itself to Ubisoftization, since so ...

Re: Halo Infinite

I'm nearly six hours into the campaign for Infinite, and it's better than Guardians in that I can actually understand what's going on. You'd think after 20 years they'd finally make a weapon, at least one weapon, that could easily pierce a Jackal's shield. But no. Jackal Shields are invincible. So t...

Re: Games Completed 2021

Yeah, I know the conventional wisdom is that Max Payne 3 is the weaker sequel due to the lack of Remedy's involvement (although strangely, Sam Lake is credited with co-writing the comic book prequel with Dan Houser), and some of the qurikier, weirder elements of the games are much missed in 3's Very...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I'm not 100% sure about this, but 5 ends on cliffhanger that was so poorly received that 343 has decided to resolve it mostly in tie-in novels, much like the entire Juno thread in Assassin's Creed was banished to the tie-in comics.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

One unexpected side effect with checkpointing the missions in San Andreas: the best way to build your stats- stamina, car handling, weapons et al- was through repetition and starting missions from the beginning. One of the things I liked about the game back then was that even if I failed in a missio...

Re: Halo Infinite

Question, since we're a week out from the single player:

Does ANYONE know what actually happened in Guardians? I played through it twice and I still don't understand it.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I don't recall the credits rolling after John's death when I first played it upon release. The game just switches to Jack. What I do remember is that I had no idea there was a way for Jack to get revenge until someone told me where to go.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Definitive Edition - sit down, this may take a while. There was a time, not long ago, where I'd say that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was not only the best Grand Theft Auto of all time, but one of the best games of all time. I played through it at least twice, perhaps...
