Not sure if I can afford it but CEX are offering above RRP and they’re selling high on EBay so why not? Can sell on if I can’t spare it.

This week I got Live A Live and Immortals which I found on Amazon for £8!

Played about an hour of this, which is not a lot but you're looking at apparently 6-10 hour runtime. Walking sim-esque, echoes of Miyazaki about it (Ico, Last Guardian), seems like a companion based puzzler with lots of pretty environment puzzles, but what I played was pretty linear. What might make it more interesting is it seems to have a strong environmental narrative focus on it, why are things the way they are. What is this city, what is going on with its inhabitants. I'll leave it at that, seems interesting but nothing mind-blowing really in the opening. I would have played more but I got about 2 hours sleep last night so I'm running on fumes. Will update with thoughts when I actually complete it I reckon It's a very pretty game, lots of screenshots and wallpaper material. At the same time I think the game is pretty enough that spoiling lots of views will rob people of the better parts of the game. So check out this screenshot of a cat hanging out in what is considered to be a pretty upmarket apartment in the cyberpunk dystopia FWIW, no HDR or ray tracing or anything like that. Lack of HDR is strange but I like the muted look tbh, don't really need the eyeballs seared right now. The game is so linear that the lighting they use is good enough as is. Runs at 60, these are PC impressions btw but I imagine it's identical to PS5

Having a presentation announcing that dp, dp 2 and Logan are out on d+ within a huge hall at comic con seems a little ott.

Major Ps2 Haul today, bought these blue case games to get rid of the earlier darker coloured cases. Makes the collection a bit more uniformed. Or at least thats what im telling people, or am I secretley a massive High school musical fan 🤣 Also does the local cex a favor clearing out a load of crap.

On the ms Marvel stuff, I said in the other thread I think they probably should have learned in to it being more of a kids show. In hindsight it'd be a good contrast with Strange. It's not shit, it's just very padded and very much not for me
