Oh my lord... Can't actually believe it's the day.😱

Couple of payday purchases & then my girlfriend surprised me with Mario for a present.

Went digital with the dumb costumes pre-order pack. Only a few quid more.

Gaming setup 1. Setup 2 is a work in progress until I can get a new TV.

Civilization VI I managed to get from Argos for £31.99 with a voucher, they're selling it for £38.99 if anyone else is interested. Diablo amiibo I spotted in GAME yesterday when my son was trading a couple games in. Weird that it's not in traditional amiibo packaging and its base is oval and not round.

In an effort to solve my Switch controller issues I've bought an 8bitdo adapter that will let me use other controllers, I think it will also let me use various wireless controllers on pc too I also picked up Starlink the other week after saying I wouldn't. Not taken it out of the packet yet, but I thought I should get it now because its never getting reprinted

Remember me posting about this last year? The gaming exhibition was back again. I only had half an hour spare but heres some pics.. I don't if it was because it's a regional 2 week holiday here but it was super busy.

Giving myself an excuse to go back to this at some point.

It's here! Played for a couple of hours so far, surprise surprise I'm fucking loving it. Went with Claire in the end for my first run through, the character models really are nice. You actually get to play the intro a little here (the gas station) it's set up as a little tutorial area. Once you get out of that it's into the Police car with Leon and (if you've played the original) you know what happens next. Now obviously I don't know what happens on "B" runs yet but there's something missing from the city streets segment so I'll be eager to see how that character actually gets introduced but it's not long before you reach the RPD building. I've gone through what was included in the one-shot demo (things aren't in the same place!) and managed to gain access to the East wing so far, got two of the medallions inserted. I've not met Sherry yet or bumped in to a Licker or Mr X (thank god)... There's no 4k/30fps option in the game which is strange and the HDR is the same as the demo, tbh I'm already used to it and actually prefer it to being pitch black as, honestly, you'd be dead so quick if it was torch light only. A big shout to the shooting, being able to move and shoot is great but having the reticle shrink for accuracy when standing still is really the best of both worlds... One you miss a headshot (all I'm going for at the minute... I've no idea how many bullets it takes to drop a zombie with body shots) the panic really kicks in. Anyway, yeah.... I'm excited.😁😁

It’s not as bad as easy allies made out with its 5.5. Eurogamer must be drunk to give it 1/5. It very much falls into the 6.5 - 7/10 ball park. I cant stress enough that depending on how much you enjoyed the previous two entries will greatly determine how invested you’d be with this newest adventure. I’ve only played and completed the first game of the in game console which is an isometric brawler. It’s better than I’d expected while also being pretty straight forward. Level design so far is very simple but I was surprised to learn I’d missed some secrets a long the way. Its only £25 Digitally without the season pass and I’d say that feels the top end of acceptable from what I’ve played and enjoyed of it so far. Also it’s obsessed with tee shirts 🤷🏻‍♂️

People second guessing a reviewer’s intentions says more about the people than the reviewer, to be honest.

GameCube Switch dock... Even I can admit that's pretty cool.

I started this one today. Beat the first world and onto the second. Early impressions is combat has a nice "swimming" movement to it albeit it is very floaty like the spinoff games. Worlds are massive and some of it almost feels like an anime/Disney take on (old) God of War games. Music is great, as usual. Hoping to hear some old tunes return (hopefully Hollow Bastion). I started it on Proud mode cause I figure if I've played three of these games back to back and can't handle its hard mode at this stage well then I'm really just hopeless. So far it's not very difficult but it is a reasonable challenge. It makes it so it isn't just a mash X fest. It is very heavy on cutscene interruptions in the early hours however and it gets sort of annoying, it's a bit Metal Gear at times. WRT spoilers I'm going to defer to riksp or someone else as to the best approach. I'm thinking anything that was in a trailer is fair game for an open screenshot because this is a very pretty game with lots of shiny stuff that's fun to show off. Or maybe all screenshots could be put in spoiler text it's all the same. No HDR in this game, interestingly.

Mine arrived today 😊 I think I’m going to turn out all the lights whilst I play because: a) I’m hard b) it’s how I played the original when I was a young man and c) I pay for the electricity now

Well, no. If I read someone second guessing a reviewer’s intentions from a game that they haven’t played, my opinion of that person goes down, not the reviewer. If that person has played the game and can provide some evidence that supports their claim, then maybe. But otherwise that person’s critical standing is null and void. For two reasons: 1 - They lack the maturity that a critical thinker needs. 2. The fact that they assume someone else is willing to lie in their review says that they are willing to do the same. TLDR: If you moan about a review before you’ve played the game, your opinion is ignored.

Nah.

I've been on this all afternoon and caved on the digital deluxe edition while it's on offer. I put a ton of time into the game on PS4 last year, and now bought on Xbox and been playing with my son sat next to me on his Switch (he used his Christmas money on the character pack and battle pass) and dominating. Cross-play is cool.
