skillzdadirecta Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 And roll credits on Hitman 2.... gonna resits the urge to jump back in and replay the missions for a better score and focus on some other games. Gears of War 4 and Resident Evil 7 are up. Then I'm gonna finish up Days Gone and the last Spiderman DLC. We'll see if I can get those done before the end of August.

I first played OoT when it came out on the Wii Virtual Console, so 12 years? I tried it again shortly after the 3DS version came out, but again didn’t make much progress. When the 20 year anniversary articles started coming out last fall I picked it up again and started the playthrough that I eventually finished yesterday.

crispy4000 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Beat Celeste after slowly chipping away at it for the last year. Got 145 strawberries, but I don’t have everything I need for chapter 8 yet. I might come back to it when the free DLC drops. (Next month?) Great game. Not best indie ever or anything like that, but it occupies the same place as Shovel Knight, as a neoretro game that actually demands to be played. Celeste might edge it out slightly.

Highly recommend playing it on something that has a good D-pad. I ruined my regular xbox controller's D-pad. If I don't hit up in just the right way it will register as a right press. Maybe I'm just too hard on the controller, but it seems like the PS4 or maybe even a joy con would be better suited for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it there for the portability. Dpad is probably preferable to the joycon. But I didn’t mind it in this game as much as others. You have to make exacting diagonal presses a lot. There is some tactile feedback in holding two buttons. It was preferable to the control stick at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Finished Days Gone. It's a solid low/mid 8's type of game. Minor bruises and blemishes, but overall it's a really fun time. Best thing about it is the way it pushes back. There's a very gradual transition from running for your life to mowing down hordes. So the difficulty scales more with the types of enemies you fight, or encounter one after the other. It was only in the last 2-3 hours that enemies got a little bullet spongy, and when I play more of the post-game, I won't have to worry about that any more. I'm going to want to check out the challenges some time too. Fighting hordes is a ton of fun once you've got a hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Finished God of War: Ghost of Sparta tonight, and next up I'll tackle God of War: Ascension so that I'll be all caught up and ready for when I want to play the PS4 game.

Dodger Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Games Pass is destroying my Backlog, now I'm going to end up starting Kingdom Come Deliverance and DMC5 this week. Been playing Fell Seal nonstop after Doom but that doesn't count since I bought it the first week of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Remnant just put my backlog plans on hold for a bit... was playing Days Gone and Resident Evil 7 but that came to a grinding halt. Will jump back on those soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShreddieMercury Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I beat The Darkness 2, which has been on my backlog for quite some time now. It was great - really fun gameplay, interesting story, and a nice digestible length (6-7 hours). I never played the first one, but have heard that it's pretty good as well.

skillzdadirecta Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Unfortunately my backlaugust has come to an end... I'm traveling now and won't be back until Sunday. I was hoping to at least finish Days Gone but I probably still have a ways to go with that. Same with Resident Evil 7. I'll definitely finish both before September is over though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualhunter Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Not going to finish it in August but I'm probably going to start Star Ocean 3. When I got a slim PS2, I managed to get Xenogears and Chrono Cross at a reasonable price but it was too late for FF7 (I already had the old PC version) and Symphony of the Night (got it later on PS3 PSN). So I bought Star Ocean 3 just in case but never got around to playing it with all the other games I had to play. In the next generation, hooking up the PS2 again and having to deal with wired controllers and SD graphics didn't appeal to me. With holiday sales months away, this seems like a good time to finally play it but on PCSX2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
