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.

Let us know how you find it. I'm interested in it...but it also looks shit. Also, there's the new movie called Wizards of etc etc that has Del Toro directing that might be good.

I really enjoyed it and it was my yearly "game that got me back into playing games, game". I couldn't tell you why I enjoyed it though, as breaking each component down...it's doesn't make for an amazing experience, but for whatever reason I did. (I blame Covid and the message behind the game creating a perfect storm).

Wife has been watching The Fall, so I've been watching The Fall in the background... UPDATE: Rugby is finally back on TV this Friday...so as much of that as I can get away with.

I’m always about 6 months behind releases so timed exclusives don’t bother me, however if I owned both next generation consoles but one had more to offer for the same price, it’s a no brainer.

This thread reminds me that this is my ideal home set up: Cost of entry, about £35,000 - but installing solar panels, geothermal heating, a biofuel generator etc would lead to no outgoings at all.

The universe it inhabits is incredibly engaging and, although not all amazing, I've enjoyed every movie.

I think that, but as a character I don't really know how they would make a fun/interesting game - maybe just a VR experience? I would enjoy a Suicide Squad game and, probably because I've just started playing it again, if they used Hitman as a model with set missions, where you could use specific characters/methods to complete each part - blended with some big set pieces.

It is indeed a great game and also one that I've also never completed in full. I've gotten to the Island twice, but the first time (on Gamecube) was spoiled by my memory card corrupting and losing all my saves (including those for Paper Mario, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 1&2, Tales of Symphonia...the list goes on). The second time was on the Wii, which I've lost/left somewhere. I should really just buy the game on the PS4 during the next sale, book in a weekend where I have nothing on and marathon it.

I just caught up on the announcements and the two things this has prompted have been a) I’ve had Braid on Steam for about six years and never played it and b) I really should buy Control as it is so down my alley, it could be called Gamer.tv Way

The relationship Jeff has with his son is fantastic.

I wonder if the next Nintendo console will be part of their current trend of failure-success (Gamecube - Wii, Wii U - Switch) or will the changes in the company mean they remain in a good position going forward.

I forgot to mention, despite the recent controversy, I wanted to re-read the Harry Potter series. As I've been working nights pretty much throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, I've decided to listen to them using Audible. I've just finished The Order of the Phoenix and, after reading the series from about 9 years of age, despite not being the best written books (I think that's part of the challenge about having to adapt a style of writing to the age of the audience), the universe is just amazing, so well fleshed out and interesting to learn about. There would be something to be said about a series based around the Ministry of Magic.

I think SSFIV is the most I've ever played a fighting game. I wasn't good at all, but I enjoyed the online (and I think won...10 times, which felt like an achievement) enough on both the 360 and the 3DS.

At the moment, nothing. Come September, I’ll be spending about 3/4 of my pay check on bills, some on paying off my credit card and the rest in my savings. My wife is off work for a year now, so we thought it was best that we save as much of her maternity pay as possible and only have her buy food and baby things.

Folklore B It's a good album, although maybe half the tracks feel like filler and a lot of the writing behind the songs relies on lazy/stereotypes. Abbey Road (2019 Remastered) A I’m not a massive Beatles fan, but this album could have been released this year and would be heralded as unmissable.
