Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I think I've come to peace with not going back to the previous Yakuza games and just see what happens with the Like a Dragon series. I am tempted by Infinite Wealth but the first game put me off a little due to the grind and difficulty spikes. Due to the voice actor issues it seems like we won't get...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

A few days ago I started Lost Judgement. I have only played Zero, Like a Dragon and Judgement in the Yakuza series and perhaps controversially, Judgement was my favourite of the 3. The detective storyline just appealed to me more than the politics of the Yakuza games. I also really like Yagami as a ...

Re: Formula One

I'm about halfway through season six of Drive To Survive and enjoying it as much as ever. Despite not having any real interest in the sport, it's a fascinating show. One thing that puzzles me. Hamilton was world champion for 8 years, and then Max V comes along and blows him out the water. How does ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Started a new game which was released last week for the deluxe edition but tomorrow for standard called Classified France 44. It's published by Team17 and is an XCOM like set in WW2 in the run up to D-Day. This sounds great! I'm in! Cool, it works well on a pad too. They have also already announced...

Re: Formula One

I like F1, not so much these days as its become very sterile but i will catch it if its on. I work in the industry building stuff for Mclaren & Redbull mostly so it kinda makes me proud to see our work on TV and knowing when they crash that we will have some more work coming in lol. That's real...

Re: Games Completed 2024

Donkey Kong (1994, Game Boy) I had always known this was considered one of the best original Game Boy games, but I had always wondered how it could stand shoulder to shoulder with games like Link's Awakening and Pokémon Red/Blue, even as an expanded version of the 1981 arcade game. I started the ga...

1. Super Mario Wonder 2. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League 3. Mario vs Donkey Kong (Switch) This was a fun little time. It's pretty short at around 5 hours which is really short even for a budget release and I had some frustrations with the platforming mechanics and enemy hit detection which s...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I also finished True Detective Season 4. I didn't hate it but it was pretty average. A lot of style over substance. It didn't really feel like a detective show to me as it was more focused on it's other themes. I'll admit that I didn't see the ending coming but equally it didn't wow me.

Re: Videogame News

I'm not sure it's a big fuss over nothing - first party games going to a rival console (with more likely to come) feels like the thin end of the wedge for MS as a hardware supplier. If Xbox exclusives are going to end up on PS/Switch eventually what reason is there beyond Gamepass (which they also ...

so it seems all the speculation the past week was all a big fuss over not very much. Just shows how these rumours can get quickly out of control.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Dazed and Confused I didn’t hate it but I really struggled with it. I think the main problem is that I just couldn’t relate to it as I just didn’t have that experience of drinking culture at secondary school and actively tried to avoid it. (Yes I’m boring). It reminded me of why I didn’t vibe with ...

Re: Games Completed 2024

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Overall I had a good time with it. If you like really fast and frenetic third person combat you will get a kick out of it. The combat reminds me of Doom 2016 as you are encouraged to be on the move and aggressive, then there is the aspect of picking up differe...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

The Iron Claw
Really good. I didn’t really know much about the family it’s based on at all but it didn’t really matter. Such a tragic story. All the actors on on top form, I struggle to say anyone was the best. Had a really beautiful moment in it I won’t spoil. Reminded me a lot of Foxcatcher. 4/5

Re: Formula One

Quite an interesting time in F1 right now, Lewis going to Ferrari which I didn't see coming and now the potential for Max Horner to get sacked due to abuse allegations and if he goes, Adrian Newey leaving with him (although that is just rumour at this stage). Neither of these things will make much o...

Re: Games Completed 2024

I loved it too, it was GOTY last year. The pacing was perhaps the best I've ever encountered in a game. I must admit I traded it in after I had finished it but I kind of regret that now. I may rebuy it or at least play it when it comes to game pass and buy the Eva DLC pack.
