Re: Videogame News

It'll be interesting to see how they review, that's for sure. Fascinating games, incredibly ambitious, but I found them virtually no fun to play now, sadly. I'm always happy to see classics re-released though, even if I don't want to play them myself - it's important for the history of the medium. ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I agree with everyone - Telltale are generally being extremely dickish with their "physical" releases that have no content on the disc.

As for me, playing the Wipeout Omega collection. It is fantastic!

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Finishing off my trifecta of Telltale games and finishing Game of Thrones today.

Not pleased *at all* about the last chapter being downloadable.

If Telltale don't start putting the full game on the disc again, I won't be buying TT games at all.

Tired of them trying to sell me a blank disc.

Re: When's Mahvel? (The Marvel vs. Capcom thread)

I managed to find a copy of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for PS4 yesterday. I'll be sticking with this for the time being.

I do not like the MCU emphasis in the new game. Hopefully they'll remedy this in the "Ultimate" or whatever it's called version that comes out a year later.

Re: Your favorite game trailers

While not strictly a trailer per se, I remember watching this on gametrailers.com back in the day and being absolutely blown away. I still don't think it's been topped as an opening movie or an ad to say "hey, buy this game".

I finally got a copy of the Songs from the Wood 40th by Jethro Tull today.

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast

I really don't want to add to your already enormous pile......but I have to ask. Are any of the D&D goldbox games by SSI (Pool of Radiance, Champions of Krynn) etc. on there? How about the Bard's Tale series? Phantasie? Defender of the Crown? I don't know if any of you had C64s or played on them...

Re: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

I went into Soul Reaver with a cursory knowledge of the first game. I was blown away by the sheer spectacle of it. I loved the visual design of the characters, the music and the voice acting, which all created a specific, Gothic mood that wasn't in a lot of games at the time. The aesthetic of an alm...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I saw Alien Covenant today. Trust me when I say don't bother. I haven't seen it, but I assume you've gained an even greater appreciation for the first two movies? It has been getting some pretty mixed reviews... I can count at least one major plot issue with the film. It changes the nature of the A...

Re: Games completed 2017

Thanks Todinho, I didn't know about Murata and Fukushima.

I don't mind MGS4. It's certainly not as bad as ZOE 1 & 2. As for the ending the staff forbade, are you talking about Snake killing himself?

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I saw Guardians of the Galaxy 2 tonight and it was quite fun. Kurt Russell was quite good and I liked the cosmic weirdness of it.
Spoiler: show
Might be Stan Lee's best cameo yet. That ending though.....right in the feels. And I won't say anything more!

Re: Games completed 2017

Yeah ZOE 1 is not that great but ZOE 2 is great I assure you so dont let your experience with 1 make not play the sequel it's an improvement in literally everyway. I went in with an open mind......but neither game is really that great. The voice acting is okay, but the dialogue is absolutely atroci...

I'm finishing up SMT IV Apocalypse....but the hinge on my 3ds broke on Saturday. I'm in Asia so it's not like I can just go buy a new one, because it's region locked. :/ And of course my copies of Dragon Quest 7 and 8 showed up today.

Re: Our next but one podcast recording (27.4.17) Mad Max

I don't play a ton of open world games like this but I found this on sale two weeks after it was out and thought, "Why not?" Mad Max is a quintessential "B" game. It's not as stylish as blockbuster games, it's not as polished as "Triple A" games, but it does what it doe...
