Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Their new album came out recently, Asunder Sweet And Other Distress.

It's great, if you like that sort of thing.

Which I do.

Re: All things Metal Gear (Solid)

I've just picked up the Legacy Collection, having played Metal Gear Solid back in the day multiple times, I've wanted to get into the series properly for a long time. Is there any recommended order to tackle them in? (eg chronologically). Disclaimer, I don't think I have the enthusiasm/patience to ...

Re: All things Metal Gear (Solid)

I've deliberately avoided any videos or hype for MGS5, but I'm very much enjoying Peace Walker at the moment!

Re: Our next podcast recording: Frequency and Amplitude

I thought Amplitude looked pretty interesting when I saw it pop up on Steam years back, and it was cheap as chips so I gave it a try. I found it to be a highly enjoyable, if a little shallow experiment on musically created play areas. I really liked being able to load your own music library in to it...

I didn't see the Nintendo show - did they actually announce a new console?

Re: The Last Guardian

Ah I can't wait for this game! Well I can, as I've not got a PS4, but what with this and Fallout 4 I need to get one!

Re: E3 2015 - Conference times, news and hype (!)

I would buy a FF7 remake in a flash. Whether or not I would actually sit and play it all again, not so sure. I absolutely love(d) the original but have never made it through a second playthrough despite playing the opening few hours again loads of times.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Yeah definitely going to stick with it. I haven't tried co-op yet, but is there even online co-op on the PSP version as I read a review that said it was ad-hoc only.

Re: E3 2015 - Conference times, news and hype (!)

I just read (albeit from a rather dubious source I've never heard of before) they're remaking FF7 for its 20th anniversary on PS4. Not the port of the PS1 game, total remake in Advent Children style. Anyone else seen anything about this?

Re: E3 2015 - Conference times, news and hype (!)

Will we still get a full on Elder Scrolls single player game like Oblivion and Skyrim, or will they just concentrate on the Online one now, do you think? I'd have preferred an Elder Scrolls 6 announcement really.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I took a break on Batman games just to avoid fatigue, but now I'm wondering whether to go back. I'm sad to hear that Blackgate sounds almost unanimously bad, I hoped to jump in one day to fill a 2D metroid void in my life. Hmm, it does pick up. Slightly. Having said that it's definitely a 5/10 at b...

Re: Games Completed 2015

I enjoyed that game until the section where you're pushing balls of light through a dark world? Is that near the end?

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Bloody hell, Blackgate Origins is really bad. I mean I'm a huge Batman fan, and it would need to be really dreadful before I dismissed it, but, well... it is :( Navigation is impossible. There are no hints as to where to go next, what to do next. It's just endless walking in circles trying everythin...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I thought the characters were better - this was probably the most deranged Joker I've ever seen, and the supporting assassins were all well played and the boss battles were pretty decent. I liked the story, the side missions, the combat, all better than the first two games. I can't really understand...

Re: Games Completed 2015

Looking forward to being able to play this at some point. Would you say it's necessary to have played the previous two games first?

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Same here, Origins was much better than City, I felt. Although I did enjoy all three. I'm a little disappointed by Blackgate so far, but I've wanted it for ages and it was in the sale so I'll definitely play it through. I wanted a little break from MGS before Peacewalker but if I'm honest I just wan...
