Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

What with Masters Of The Air coming soon I started re-watching Band Of Brothers on Blu-ray. It sounds exceptional with the PS5 3D Pulse headset. I'm not sure there's ever been a better WW2 series or film, it really is an incredible piece of work. Planning on watching The Pacific after as despite own...

Re: Our next podcast recording (27.1.24) - 604: Katamari Damacy series

I'd never really played a Katamari game until I put a couple of hours in to Reroll on Switch this week. I thought it was fun, but I also felt like I'd really seen all the game had to offer within those first two hours. What comes next? Getting bigger? I'm sure I'll go back to it at some point, but i...

Re: 607: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Yeah I read that, I'll give it a go, I think it's probably the only Castlevania game I've never played at all so should be fun. I wish the game was unlocked from a menu though, you have to find some candlestick in the remake to smash and then it unlocks! Same for SOTN.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Well, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown has blown my socks off. It's the best Metroidvania I've played since Metroid Dread and think it's about on par from the hours I've put into it so far. In fact I think it could be better due to the combat being a little more involved. As with Dread, the world is...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Sorry to ask this. I didn't write down when the Yakuza like a dragon episode is due. Want to try and give it a go beforehand for feedback. Is there a written listing somewhere? It's show number 610 so should be due in around six weeks. Full listing is here: https://caneandrinse.com/forum/viewforum....

Re: 607: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Hmm, just looked in to it, I think the PSP version on Dracula X Chronicles is my best bet to play Rondo, although that's a remake as well. I guess I could just emulate the original.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Season six of Netflix's Drive To Survive coming out 23rd Feb. Excellent! Despite not actually enjoying F1 I found this series to be really compelling viewing. Netflix do a great job of creating drama and storylines with what happens across the race season. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/everythin...

Re: Videogame News

Yeah I'm hyped for the Indy game. Honestly though I thought the rest of the conference was poor - just from a personal point of view there was nothing I'm interested in. I hated Hellblade, just through it was so tedious and boring, and the other games didn't appeal at all either. I find the showcase...

Re: 630: Untitled Goose Game

I bought this game for one of my children on Switch one Christmas, and we played through the whole game together. From doing nothing but honking at each other to pulling off elaborate heist style escapades with our geese, he was giggling the whole time. There aren't many games we've been able to enj...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Finally watched Goodfellas. I have finally found a gangster film I enjoyed. I have watched a few classics including The Godfather and The Irishman and they did nothing for me, despite acknowledging why people love them, so with this in mind I wasn't expecting to like Goodfellas as much as other peo...

Re: Bad game openings

One that springs to mind for me is Red Dead Redemption 2. I know many will disagree with that but I just found the first two chapters to be a bit of a slog, just lots of walking around listening to characters talk and not much action. It put me off so much that I actually stopped playing the game a...

Each individual component of Hi-Fi Rush suggests this was a game built especially for me. Third person combat, rhythm action, lovely cell-shaded style graphics and a banging soundtrack featuring my favourite band ever, Nine Inch Nails! So why didn't I love it? I honestly don't know.
