Re: 2023 Top Ten

I haven't played enough games from this year to make a list unfortunately. I will post my overall list at the end of the year though. Doubt I'll complete anything else over Christmas but you never know!

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 fasc...

Re: Videogame Deals

Castlevania, Contra and Arcade collections from Konami/M2 are all 90% off on Switch right now. £1.59/$2. Phenomenal value. Thanks to our friend One Credit Ben for the heads-up. Good tip. I picked up the Castlevania collection for 1.50 as well as Castlevania Advance collection for 7.99 and The Messe...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I've been starting and stopping a lot of games recently. I've made to what I think is the last main chapter of Celeste , despite not playing it for very long. This is ignoring bonus stuff though. I like it... I think. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's frustrated me at times and I've not fully g...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I've been watching Better Call Saul , starting season 5 now. I've loved it a lot more than I was expecting. It's a less action packed show than Breaking Bad, but I've found myself more invested in and caring for the characters. Jimmy aka Saul and Mike are fantastic, adding so much depth to their cha...

Re: Mental Health

Appreciate people sharing in here. I've had a rough week or so, been sick and fatigued. It's just about passed now but it definitely takes its toll mentally as well as physically. Going to try and take this weekend to refresh, get out the house a bit and take stock.

Re: Games Completed 2023

They do feel similar to Spiderman definitely, you can see how they might've influenced Insomniac. I actually liked the movement more than Spiderman as there's a bit more skill and freedom to it.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Definitely want subtitles on for The Wire. It does take a while to click as it throws a lot of characters and concepts at you and expects you to follow along. I think it's normal to miss a few things as you go along. It's also a lot about build up, watching the everyday goings on of the characters y...

Re: What games are you most looking forward to?

I'll second Elden Ring DLC, probably what I'm most anticipating at the moment. That's probably the one thing I'll drop everything to play. I'm also interested in the Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty expansion and how it's received. Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen look like promising Souls-likes. I'm also...

Re: Videogame News

I've just had a look on PS Plus and noticed that Sea of Stars is free to download if you have a PS Plus Premium or Extra membership. I was quite surprised as I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere else. I might give it a look at some point.

Re: Amored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

Bought this on a whim. I've only played the first two missions so far and have stopped before getting into the customization. So far it's been a mix of fun and infuriating. Standard for From Software I suppose. It's tricky trying to both control the speedy mech while also trying to read all of the p...

Re: Games Completed 2023

I have heard a lot of complaints about sidequests in FFXVI. Doing the same thing over and over for comparatively little reward is just something that does nothing for me these days. I liked how older RPGs did side quests. For example in FFVII, side quests involved traveling to new locales in order ...

Re: Games Completed 2023

Since I mentioned sidequests already, that is my other main complaint with this game. They are really bad. Automata did not have great sidequests either but at least some of them tried to explain the lore of the world you are in. Replicant to my knowledge has only a few sidequests like that and eve...

People are celebrating the player freedom and choice in these games. Getting defensive about that feels le...
