Henshin-a-go-go, baby!

Heads up for those that want it, the Yakuza Collection is £23 in Argos

Didn't expect the La-Mulana box to be this big.

My computer parts arrived. The motherboard arrived late so my task tomorrow is to build it

Went to a charity shop to kill a bit of time and they had a few games. Nothing too exciting but they did have Metal Gear Solid 4. I played it, and really enjoyed it, back in the day but didn't own it, I figured as it's still PS3 exclusive and only £4 I might as well pick it up

Let’s-a-go!

She’s only gone and baked another bloody cake.

I've prepared a spot for the Series X to go in a couple months. A bit of drilling and a longer HDMI cable from Amazon ordered yesterday and received today, and it's good to go. It'll fit there nicely with more than enough depth there (I got my tape measure out), and I've already moved over all my games to the 4TB external HDD.

£3.59 on xbox.com, and backward compatible on Xbox One.

I'll be honest, I completely forgot I pre-ordered this.

which is less of a problem than it used to be because you aren't running a USB card, a sound card etc Ordered some computer parts, gone for a Ryzen 7 3700x, 16gb 3600 DDR4 ram, and a motherboard that has a couple of NVMe slots. Not that I've got an NVMe or will be getting one this year, but it's all the parts that needed an upgrade, should see me right for the next gen hopefully

The first three on this list:

With the best will in the world I activated this last night with the intention of having a quick look at how the 3 games were shaping up on the little console, and the settling down to my first ever playthru of Sunshine. However, as soon as I saw the High Def glory if Galaxy it was over. I've already got a grand star and 2 little-uns. Such an amazing game. And works wonderfully with the pro controller. Handheld isn't bad, but it's a different and slightly less intuitive experience. I did play a little bit of sunshine. Defeated the first painty thing with Fludd. Looks gr

Had to happen sooner or later...🤣 Although I'll be saving this for the PS5.

I’ve been meaning to pop back on here for ages now. Miss this community Now I have news to share that (amazingly) nobody else cares about (not even my wife)... I somehow beat Dead Cells on hard last night, felt like a right champion! 46 attempts and 2 wins, somehow still feels like I’m great at the game. Amazing

£6.29 on Xbox One, backward compatible.

I’ve wanted to play Hades since it was first announced but what started with cracking the seal on one purchase ended up taking the whole lid off so I got A Short Hike, Journey of the Broken Circle and The Last Campfire, too

Something popped up on a gaming site showing a pic of Sonic Chronicles and I got really nostalgic about it for some reason. Remember really enjoying it & found it under £6 on eBay so here we are..

so this is the new racing game that looks like virtua racing. edit- here’s a video: i like it. The handling is good, it’s like old school arcade drifting, a little bit like outrun 2 - although I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, it’s not as good as outrun 2. Not many things are. Also you get boost from drifting. so the time trials are really good fun, there’s staff ghosts to beat and leaderboards and stuff. I’ve spent most of my time trying to beat the staff ghosts and friends. the racing is where we start to see problems, the A

Jeez it’s such an unbelievably bad looking machine

No one is asking if you regret it though, they're saying it's a shitty practice and they hope it doesn't catch on

I bought this off the Epic store (hiss, booo) while I should have been working. Put about 20 minutes into the demo and got a 300000 high score but the Nvidia capture failed to record (honestly no really). Anyway it seems pretty great but I can't put my finger on it but the physics are weightier than I remember. But this is 15 years ago so it's possible I just forget how it feels and have gotten bad from being older all the time. Or more likely this is base stats Tony Hawk I'm playing Anyway I'm excite. I actually never played THPS2 beyond just renting it once so that w

Something gaming related with a bonus Graphic Novel thrown in as well

Because I basically barreled through 80% of THPS in two sittings and the rest of you are a bunch of cowards I went and bought the super hero game. Look what I've become maf I also bought Control Ultimate on Steam, buying way too much shit now but I'm fingers crossed about getting a 30xx card and just turning that shit all the way up

One last 3DS haul from Argos, maybe? £10.73 the lot.

I’ve been interested in Ghost of a Tale since it first appeared on Indiegogo in 2013. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ghost-of-a-tale#/ The developer had a background in animated movies and I liked the fact that the game was inspired by books like Redwall. It was eventually released in 2018 on PC and 2019 on consoles, and is apparently coming to Switch too. The game has come a long way since that original Indiegogo pitch. When I first played it I was surprised that it was predominantly a stealth game, although I suppose it’s not that surprising considerin

I am surprised anyone gives a fuck tbh. As long as you can load the game and it's within a decent-ish time, then rock on. As long as we're moving away from HDD and onto SSD then the load times will be acceptable to excellent, depending on what's asked of them.

So this is the action rogue-like from makers of Bastion and Transistor. It's a very good one. It has a lot of potential stuff in terms of weapons, buffs and abilities for a run that come together in some surprisingly interesting ways. I don't really want to go into it all, because there is so much and it's a bit of a spoiler, in a way. I do think anyone who likes Dead Cells will have a hard time not getting into this too. It's got the same kind of fast, dash-y combat but I'd argue the upgrades are probably more interesting because they're tied to more than your attac

Yay 100% I needed to use a guide so much to get 100%. That was very shameful. Now I know how @bellow must feel when he plays games. I almost don’t want to talk about it. But I will. So if I remembered how to get secret shines that would of been less embarrassing. There were still 2 or 3 I would of needed help with but once you know the one thing to find most of them that’s really simple. Blue coins on the other hand I never would of found without a guide. I did find 191 on my own out of 240 and the calculator tells me that is just 79.5% so, ahh, not te

I saw this on Game Center CX. He was staying in an old fashioned hotel that had a machine in the relaxation area. 100 yen for 10 minutes.

I've been meaning to pick up Desperados 3 for ages and I'm glad I did because it really is very good. It's one of those games where it probably plays like a thousand other games but I couldn't give you one as a reference point, other than Desperados 1&2 presumably. It's a strategy game, mostly real time. You make your way though the level, which may be fairly open with multiple objectives that can be done in any order, or just a straight line, like the first level. Enemies have lines of sight, you can hide in cover, and your skills have a bit of a cool down. You d

You’re going to have a ton of awesome PS4 games to try out when you get the 5.

I signed up to gamepass about a year ago, did the gold upgrade thing for 2 years, didn’t think I’d use it much as I usually just buy stuff I want to play when it comes out, but I usually buy gold anyway and thought it’d let me play halo anyway so the price was too good to pass up. The halo thing didn’t work out but other than that I’ve used it loads more than I expected, it’s been great. Crackdown 3, forza Horizon 4 pc (I bought forza on release But gamepass let me play it on pc), ori 2, flight sim, hotshot racing, streets of rage 4, life is strange 2, double kick heroes, outer worlds

finished this now, got golds on expert and beat all the staff ghosts, overall it's a thumbs up, the handling is good, had most fun in the timetrials. might play some more timetrials if there's any timetrial challanges going on.

Pro gamer OCH has spoken.

I got some advice from the IT guy at work about my computer. He seemed to think it was a motherboard fault so it's not moderating the cpu fans, meaning when they kick up there's nothing telling them to stop. I bought that sata adapter for the front fans, fitted that and left the side off to make sure they worked. They did so I booted Mafia 2 again, seemed fine so I put the side back on loosely and but pretty soon the fans kicked up again. I moved some wires so I could get a better look and heard a clicking. Turned out a wire was blocking at least one of the graphics c

The PS5 looks like a rip off games console bought from Wish. It's beyond ugly.

There doesn’t appear to be a thread for this so here we go? I’ve been playing this about an hour a night a few times this week and I don’t know what to make of it. It doesn’t seem great, but it’s enjoyable enough. It looks like a Diablo style game being isometric camera, exploring zones, etc. Except they took the loot out of it and made it more of an action game. You can still level up your character but that is reflected in an overall accumulated number which is built from health and mana upgrades that are found in the levels Zelda heart piece style, new moves that can b

Oops

Yoji Shinkawa drew this, Metal Gear artist guy

The flip side being if they'd gone the extra mile, they would be releasing each on separately and charging full price for each. I think I'll be happy with what we're getting, the Galaxy motion controls sound a bit fudged for handheld (you have to use touch screen) but they've mapped the motion spin attack to shoulder button

(Rumoured to be 40m)
