GOBLINS!!!

Started earlier this afternoon around 2ish and got around 4 hours with it... with around half of that mucking around with the character editor... Made my Arisen... Tried to make Fighter Jill Valentine, to be fair I don't think she turned out too bad...🙂 Next up my Pawn... Who turned out to be a hot Elven Archer called Laurana... Although I've made both of them too bloody tall and they both tower over the male NCP characters wondering around... so once i get the chance to modify them I'll shorten them down a bit. As for actual game play it's very familiar if you've played the first game and as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing... it feels really weird feeling lost on the map because of that though as I knew the previous games areas like the back of my hand. It also seems like the Pawns are really ferocious in this as half the time they've demolished the Goblins and Harpies before I've managed to draw a bead on them... It's nice to be back in this world and I can already tell I'm gonna have a ball with the game.

^ nice one glad the unicorn stuff arrived. not posted in here in a while, this stuff is from the last few months

I really liked The Batman, but still find this a bit puzzling. It's such a gimmicky performance by Colin Farrell, a lot of fun in the film but I'm not super into the idea of a long form story about him. Definitely going to check it out though, Bats and Gotham remain the only comic book-ey thing to pull me in right now

Completed the sequel yesterday, and my initial impression got confirmed in the sense that I think this part of the remake is actually better than the original. It's not an all-out improvement, but just being able to move around freely immediately improves the overall atmosphere and sense of place. I actually never completed the Wii game because it was such a distant, almost superficial experience and the intrusive UI torpedoed any sense of immersion. So I can't comment too much on narrative or gameplay differences*. Narrative is a good key word though because it just barely has enough puzzles to make me remember writing that word here. I think it's two or three in total, combined with a couple of minigames – ultimately though it's very much running around and talking to people, in a similarly glacial pace we've seen from the likes of Shenmue or Life is Strange. Unlike the former, it's a very guided experience and it lacks the decision-making process of the latter, but for what it wants to be (some kind of YA mystery anime-style story) it works. I really enjoyed going through it, it's an almost cleansing after-work kind of game. Weird description, but if you are out and about for a day and get home and just let yourself fall on the couch/bed? This game is that feeling. *I did go back to watch some videos of both the first and second game on youtube and they really changed a truckload of things. It's definitely a proper remake in that sense because there was no stone left unturned, for better or worse. The second game even completely rewrites a major 'antagonist', if you want to call them that, while reshuffling and removing some other NPCs that were just one-off exposition-blasting cannons. They also concluded an arc that was previously left open in preparation of a spin-off Cing never got to do before they went bankrupt. They definitely put more effort into this than meets the eye, even if it might not be immediately apparent due to how low-fi the technical side is. The best way to experience these games then would probably be playing the DS original of Two Memories and then the remake of the second game. It's too bad you can't really do that because they mixed both into one in this, but the homogenised approach does have its charms, too, even if an optional choice would have been welcome.

June 18th and on Gamepass. Sick. I've been looking forward to this one.

Nice... that'll give me the opportunity to start a new character and hit both dlc's... when I've got time.😆

Got Shiren and Unicorn Overlord on Switch

It survived the amazon circle of hell: Really nice bundle and surprisingly compact.

My local CEX had Silent Hill 4 The Room for what seems to be a decent price, so I thought I'd buy it before the Silent Hill 2 remake comes out and makes the price jump back up In the bag next to it is a scart splitter, where it takes 1 output and sends it to two places. I'm thinking, coupled with a multi-scart adapter, then a scart to HDMI adapter, I could possibly use it to play lightgun games on a crt and capture them

Bloody love Contra, enjoyed the demo. Apparently the Switch version runs quite badly, so I’d avoid that.

Picked these up for £3 each on a local gumtree listing
