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...

Re: 609: NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...

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...

Re: 630: Untitled Goose Game

This game was one that had always interested me and it was nice to finally get around to playing it. I was having some difficulty with it at first until I realised that this is a game primarily about observing the habits of others and knowing what to do at the right time. Once I figured that out, th...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

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...

Re: Videogame News

Probably the best Game Awards I've watched in terms of reveals - feels like it's replaced E3 this year. Highlight for me has to be SEGA announcing a new JSR, Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Crazy Taxi all at once - I would've settled for just one of those! The SEGA announcement was a lovel...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I finished Ape Escape , well I beat the final boss and saw the credits. But I don't consider this properly finished until I catch every monkey. Been really enjoying earlier levels with all my gadgets and scouring the remaining monkeys. I actually think this game gets a lot better when you have the f...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Still plugging away at FF IV and after a long period of grinding I am back into the story again and my party is shaping up to be quite formidable now. Also restarted Ape Escape as I started it up back in the middle of my Nier Replicant playthrough and thought it would be best it play it clean in one...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Nice addition for the remasters but I am slowly getting used to how the game operates and I quite like playing a RPG which just has the main story and no side content for a change. Story moves at a more natural pace when you are not doing tedious side quests like fetching flowers for an NPC or somet...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

This might not be the era of Final Fantasy for you :geek: Ugh, well I will keep going on until I feel it is too much. I am intrigued otherwise but the only games I played where random battles were a thing was FF VII and the Pokemon series which for the most part were never too overbearing so the ra...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I decided that after playing and enjoying VII all those years ago, I should try out another Final Fantasy so I am now tackling Final Fantasy IV on the GBA as a lot of people rate it fairly high. I like how you are thrust into the story straight away and the idea that you are part of an invading army...

Re: 597: Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

Even just booting up Yakuza 6, with its lack of intro cinematic, ominous title screen music and Kiryu staring you dead in the face at the main menu screen you can tell that this signifies the end of an era. As a result this really is a grand culmination of all that came before it, with many referenc...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Nearly finished Yakuza 6 , just want to sort out a few substories and minigames before I finish it off. I really have gotten into puzzle games recently and I am continuing that with Tetris Attack for the SNES. Never played any Tetris Attack before and I have to say I really dig it. The Yoshi's Islan...
