Re: Videogame crossovers/battles

It's lazy bust I think about a Nintendo v Sega Smash Bros game more often than I should. Mind you the mere presence of Kazuma Kiryu and his heat actions would give the game an 18s cert.

Re: Your Favorite Boss Fights!

My obligatory Colossus shout is the third colossus. Positioned in a large circular platform positioned far above a lake, the area screams boss, and then you get a look at it. https://thetripleoption.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/gaius-shadow-of-the-colossus.jpg Much bigger than the first two, which ha...

Re: Board/Card Games - The obligatory "analogue" gaming thread

Definitely seems like a growing thing. About two years ago a friend of mine started an irregular board games night among some of our friends playing games like Settlers of Catan, Munchkin, Carcassone and some less board based games like Coup, Resistance and Masquerade. Its a nice change from just go...

Re: I Quite Like This Community

I almost feared a 'I quite like this community... but'. ;) I like it too but I could only commit to posting every few days (I even missed the time around the Switch announcement). Probably covering a lot of what has been said before but for a small enough community I also think there are a few threa...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

My 3DS is currently getting a lot of attention as I've been swapping between A Link Between Worlds and Rhythm Paradise Megamix. I’m about two thirds of the way through A Link Between Worlds. I'm kind of disappointed with the overworld maps not having changed too much from Link to the Past as I would...

Re: The videogame music thread (also Sound of Play submissions)

I'm currently playing through Rhythm Paradise Remix and given that its kind of a best of, I'm posting a track from Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (aka Rhythm Heaven Fever). Flock Step is a level that involves a lot of birds marching in unison. It has a loud and cheery tune just that keeps going and ...

Re: The videogame music thread (also Sound of Play submissions)

I can't help but think that very few people played Breath of Fire 5: Dragon Quarter, [snip] I play quite a number of JRPGs and although it has its issues Dragon Quarter is probably one of my favourites. I first played it in 2011, 8 years after its release, and it still felt fresh. Its unlike most J...

I think its the way for downloading games to your PSP via PC. Wi-fi connections weren't standard in 2005. Never used it, despite owning a PSP almost from launch.

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread

I'm a day late with the news but Gravity Rush 2 got pushed back to January. It makes sense since it was coming out the same week as FF15 and a week before The Last Guardian. Sadly for me though that means it comes out a week before Yakuza 0 and just before my work hits the busiest season of the year...

Re: What's the first videogame you ever remember playing?

I thought that the earliest memory of playing a videogame was either Super Mario Bros 3 on my cousins' NES or any of the games from the Mega Games 2 and 3 cartridges that came with our Mega Drive (Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Super Thunder Blade, Super Monaco GP and Alien Storm) ...

Re: Okami (HD) & Okamiden

That's a very pretty poster. While I also loved Okami, it definitely dragged in the middle of the game for me in Western Nippon, so I think your strategic break was a very good choice. Kinda reminds me of Red Dead Redemption and Mexico in that way. I'm pretty sure this was all covered in the podcast...

I am strictly console, so I was finally able to get into some XCOM 2. It is groovy. Me, Serena Williams, Gal Gadot, and Floki from Vikings are laying waste to these alien invaders. I should really get XCOM 2. This just reminded me of doing the same with William Wallace, Ulrika Jonsson, Dirk Kuyt an...

Re: All Things Yakuza

Well we are getting a physical release for Yakuza 0 which is an improvement so I'd say the chances for 6 being localised are high.

I hope Kiwami comes over as well, I only got into the series with the third game.

Wouldn't be surprised though. Isn't the NX supposed to be out in March. I think starting the pre-release hype 6 months beforehand sounds reasonable.

Re: Pro Evolution Soccer

Olympic Soccer, haven't thought about that in years. Used to wind my brother up playing as Germany because they had a sweeper that pretty much stood on the penalty spot to try to block everything or tackle when he was about to shoot.

Anyway, I'll get PES on Tuesday.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

To add to that, and while I agree that JFA as a whole pales in comparison to the rest of the main series, that game's final case is one of the very best. Top 3 AA cases material? I'd say so. Finished the finalcase this evening and yes that was the best case in the game. I'll leave a gap before Tria...

Hello all! Found out about Cane and Rinse at least a year ago now. I just searched for video game podcasts, looked at a few lists (possibly the Vice article as well) and liked the sound of the podcast and started listening to episodes from the back catalogue. Since the start of Volume 5 I've been li...
