Just got to ilium and it’s pretty gorgeous. Man, I forgot about the stupid dlc flying mako. I decided to just get all the missions over with in one go and my damn fish died. Stupid flying mako! Of course I didn’t realize they were dead until after my secretary told me she’d feed them. First time I didn’t save my whole crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Think I’m on Colossus number 12 now. I heard Bluepoint made the controls easier when climbing? There’s some slightly frustrating bits, but once you figure out the one thing that’s needed to take one down, it’s pretty straightforward.

Yeah, the reworked the controls in the remaster as one of the biggest complaints about the original was the frustration in regards to trying to sale the colossi. The PS4 edition has a much more modern set of controls to make it the climbing mechanics work a bit more predictably. I was all for the changes myself as Team ICO games in general always had lose controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I've played a bit more Metroid Fusion and I've now just travelled down the second elevator. I do love the GBA era of gaming - there's something about that assuredness of the SNES style of gameplay and graphics with that awareness that most people will be playing for 30 minutes or so, at most. I am however about a week away from having a load more free time, so I'll be flicking back to the PS4 (and maybe buy a few new Switch games) which means I should do my best to finish this soon so I don't drop off.

SimpleG Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Mad Max So much wasted potential. The sound is fantastic especially the cars and the combat is a Batman clone but there is to much emphasis on terrible side quests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaseknox Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I started playing Diablo III: Eternal Collection, and I’m really enjoying it. Now I’m looking forward to Diablo II: Resurrected in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Almost done Divinity:Original Sin -- I THOUGHT I was almost done. But the Source Temple seems to go on forever - with boss fight, after boss fight, after boss fight. None of them have been hard (I found some of the mid-game fights REALLY hard). At this point, I just want the game to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucoe Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I kind of got frustrated looking for something new to play, so on a whim I bought and downloaded the latest version of Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition with all of the DLC. It cost me a fraction of a new game. Ii remember playing this many years back and enjoying, remembering that at the time I had wished there was more content for it when I had finished it, and I didn't find very much that made the search worth it. Now, I'm really enjoying it again, and there's TONS of content for it now. It was one of the best D&D games they did back in the day, and I'm really enjoying my run through it again years later. Plus, there are about 7 huge DLC content packs that offer so much more content than I had available way back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Finished the campaign mode in Wreckfest. Kept putting the game down, but once I got further into it, the races started becoming a lot more chaotic and fun. Not a bad racing game for people who enjoy them, but aren't too into the sim style of racing. The music is garbage in the game though, it's all sorts of alternative butt rock and I swear for a huge duration of the game, all I heard were nearly the same two songs being played over and over again.

imthesoldier Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Playing Serious Sam: The First Encounter in part because it's the 20th Anniversary of the franchise this year. Feels like reuniting with an old friend to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It's been back to Returnal mainly for me even after the Platinum. I think I've logged another 10+ hours by now even afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Mass Effect Legendary Edition - Jumping into the first game again felt great. It wasn't until I watched a comparison video that I realized just how much they did to it, but I did notice a few things on my own, like actually being able to use a sniper rifle (playing Vanguard). I'm also using that handy quick resume feature on the XSX to bounce around to a couple of different things. I'll jump into Tetris Effect for 10 minutes or so at a time. I like it, but also every time I get into I think "I would rather play Lumines" which is probably blasphemous. I also finally got around to trying Gears Tactics. It's alright, but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it for long. The latest mission I played, which ended with the first boss fight, really felt like a slog to get through. I'm at a similar point with Code Vein. After a couple of hours, I'm kinda into it, but not sure if I'll stick with it for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 We’re away from home, so we brought the Switch. I don’t have a huge array of options (Dark Souls, Pokemon Snap, Hades, Dead Cells and Spiritfarer) - but I’ve just played about 30 minutes of Spiritfarer and it was lovely.

crispy4000 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Monster Boy: The Dragon Trap today. Sometimes simplicity is a good thing. I’ve never played a Master System game before, but I really like the upgraded art style and don’t think the retro visuals hold up so well.

TheLeon Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm going old school simplistic as well - Final Fantasy. I bought that new bundle on Steam. I owned some version ages ago (I think the GBA cart that had 1 and 2) but barely played it. Since I dropped like $80 on these 6 games, I'm going to commit to finishing at least a couple of them. I've played a lot of FF over the years, but never actually finished one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Mostly Skyrim. Started playing again because I got a hair up my ass to actually do the dlcs and finish the achievements fo 100% it.

chakoo Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 on Vita. I'm not a big DW/SW fan but I've played the demo for vita & 3ds so many times and something about this game clicked so I finally ended up buying a copy to play. I'm enjoying it so far.

Curious to see what impact it has how seeing just how many games copied it since. It's easy to forget that games with that kind of atmosphere, soundtrack, level design etc. just weren't really a thing at the time, at least not for console players. The main title theme alone blew me away with how dark it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I just beat Desperados III and immediately bought all DLC for it. I'm actually pretty bummed out that it's already done but I played so Shadow Tactics so fucking much, I basically coasted through this one for the most part. Amazing game, a solid 9/10 or 9.5/10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
