But we're here, sending our love, down the well...

Rest week from rugby so left it until yesterday and went for a 3.5 mile run then today 10x100m hill sprints, with 10 press ups at the top of each incline. Tomorrow will just be dog walking and eating some vegetables as today was homemade pizza for lunch and some pretty horrible pasta (I used some left over pizza sauce and my mouth now solely tastes of garlic). I want to build up to longer runs so I’m going to up it to a five mile run on Monday, train on Tuesday and then take it from there. I have to say, I would love to go to the gym as they’ve opened, but I can’t really risk it with a very pregnant wife. I might ask and see if we could do some weigh training on one of the off days from training as we used to have access to some weights, bars and tyres.

Nothing like a contentious end of a thread to a contentious game.

I’ve enjoyed all the Batman games, but I don’t have any particularly amazing memories of playing, bar my first run through of Arkham Asylum. I’m open to more Batman, but it needs to be a far cry from Arkham Knight do me to actively want it.

“Game Feel is the intangible, tactile sensation experienced when interacting with video games”. “...Game feel is usually attributed to spatial games whose mechanics involve controlling the movement of objects or characters. Since the majority of games are spatial, studies involving game feel mainly focus on the movement and physical interactions between objects in games. The goal of good game feel is to immerse the player in an engaging and rewarding experience”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_feel Games that feel good to play being the abbreviated definition. This thread was inspired by playing F Zero GX for the first time in over half a decade and it feels sublime to play. The weight, the speed and the control all interplay to make an incredibly satisfying experience. For me, the combat of Gears of War had that same feel to it, where the actual feel of the game was the driving force for playing it, over the story or the set pieces within it. What games would you suggest?

A decent showing, but it's really hard to be excited about an Indie showcase when there still hasn't been a showcase-showcase.

I'm still a little bit ashamed of myself that I haven't bought this game yet (though sort of waiting to get it for the Switch...eventually). Good bit of DLC content.

F Zero GX tomorrow (my favourite GameCube game, so I’m happy to dip back in). Eternal Darkness I’m currently playing through and Killer 7 will most likely be taken to a local retro games shop as I’m not a massive fan. I may see if I can arrange a deal to swap it for something like Super Mario Sunshine or some cheaper games I used to also love.

Well, if you're in the UK and want it, I actually have two copies now.

I only remembered that he had them a few weeks ago and fortunately he was in the area and happy to drop them round. What do you think...

Next year is the 35th anniversary for Zelda soooo....

A Celebration of Endings: A+ I may be biased as Biffy Clyro are one of my favourite bands, but this is an outstanding album. On listening to the singles that were released over the past months, I was very dubious, but in the flow of the album they were wonderful. It doesn’t have the stand out anthems of Only Revolutions, but this is an amazing listen.

Just at Del Lago in RE4. I love this game so much but it had hit the point where a full remaster would take it to god tier gaming. Also, not one part of the game has scared me, but I’ve jumped twice because of snakes in crates.

We await your disappointment.

I seem to remember being on a sand ship in Skyward Sword and then I completely dropped off it...dare I pick it up again.

Can we always spare a moment for how comfortable gaming with a split controller is.

How long did it take to complete? I can’t help but like a console JRPG to dip into over winter.

RE4 feels so right. Although as I was saying to my wife, it’s funny that I’m 2004, I literally couldn’t believe a game could look this good in motion. It holds up outside of cutscenes so far though.

I’m always surprised more developers don’t rip off the Zelda formula more. We’ve had a few collect-a-thins, but the progressional action RPG with specific dungeons just hasn’t been killed enough.

Finished The Mars Room. It was fine but it didn’t feel like a potentially award winning book. Picked up The Institute by Stephen King as my summer book, so we’ll see how that goes.

I can’t help but agree. I’m sure I would feel differently if I was a large business owner, but the fact that heads of company earn millions and the workforce that prop them up may be living pay check to pay check is criminal.

I've been bouncing off the Witcher 3 after short playthroughs and I think the issue may be that it isn't a directed game. After The Last of Us 2 and the investment that took, I think I need a game that follows a linear path. Looking at the games on sale and following recent board conversations, I've bought RE4 on the PS4 to both finish for the first time ever, along with providing me with that set experience. I'll not give up on the Witcher 3 (or Hitman) but I think they'll be more Autumnal games for me.

And if we're being honest, there's only about 10 minutes of the run time anyone actually watches...

I've never cared about different modes or harder difficulties, but grounded looks pretty decent.

this is what you get for quickly reading through an article on Polygon. I stand (very much) corrected.
