  1. Struggling with this to be honest, put 10 hours in at the start of the month and haven’t touched it since. Just hasn’t grabbed me really which is a shame, need to play more I know but the amount of things to do just puts me off nowadays unfortunately.
  2. Great casting all round, chuffed with that.
  3. Sounds like Microsoft is going third party now Acti-Blizzard is on board. It’s the sensible play at this point, consoles cost shit loads to manufacture and the Xbox isn’t that popular (no hate but it’s true). Game Pass being blocked on PS means if they want a larger audience for their games and the place where the majority of current-gen gamers are then putting them on PS will bring in a lot of cash. Especially in Xbox’s seemingly all digital future.
  4. January has long been and gone. @HandsomeDead scored 20 points for Tekken 8, 4 points for Another Code: Recollection (which lost @mmmark 4 points) and 15 points for Under Night in Birth II. @mfnick scored 20 points for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and 17 points for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Leigh takes an early lead with 39 points, closely followed by Nick on 37 points. Everyone else has yet to score. As for February releases: @Nag has Granblue Fantasy Relink on February 1st, Helldivers 2 on February 8th and Pacific Drive on February 22nd. @Nabby9 has Ultros on February 13th, Mario vs Donkey Kong Remake on February 16th and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on February 29th. I have Persona 3 Reload on February 2nd and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake on February 28th. @radiofloyd has The Thaumaturge on February 20th
  5. That trailer was absolutely fucking phenomenal. I never finished the original and never fully got on with it but am definitely up for trying the sequel.
  6. Never played much of Generations so well up for this.
  7. Loved the latest trailer, only wish it got a release date! Always thought it would have an OTS camera so not too arsed about that.
  8. Looks fucking fantastic, day 1 for me this.
  9. I could not personally bear to play this dubbed, but I’m subs over dubs in general really. Hearing the performance that Kiryu’s long time JP voice actor gives in Gaiden, particularly towards the end of that game and then thinking about Yong Yea the gamer gater doing them makes me shudder in all honesty. I’m about 5-6 hours in and haven’t long got to the destination seen in the trailers. It’s been very cutscene heavy as Andy has said and even though you can explore Yokohama in the early chapters, there isn’t really anything of note to do aside from the usual mini games and eateries, no real side stuff that isn’t tied to the main storyline. So yeah, so far so good, the first chapter feels like an epilogue really, showing where all the party from LaD 7 are now then the following chapters this game and the mysteries behind it start in earnest. Not been let off the leash in Hawaii yet but very different vibes to Yokohama so far as expected really. Ichiban & co are as likeable as ever, love spending time with them.
  10. That category should’ve had a joint winner, only just realised after I checked my notes lol. Have updated it.

  16. Went back to this recently as I didn’t want to start anything fresh in between Spidey 2 and TLOUP2 remastered. It’s still pretty alright really, Yagami has grown on me a little bit, I have enjoyed some of the very detective focused quests, particularly one flashback quest which was bloody amazing. They’re the only thing in the game really that has a completely different vibe to LaD. I am up to Chapter 5 I think now and a lot of it has been filler (as is usually the case early days in RGG studio games to be fair) but there have been some great quests like the one mentioned above and a few others. I’m still enjoying the friend stories and side cases more though, that is what gets me really lost in the game. I don’t like the gang system though, it’s already grating on me. Every few quests the city will go on high alert and you’ll have to deal with more goons than usual until you take down their two leaders. This would be a fun distraction if it happened once or twice but I’ve done it about 5 times already so far and it’s already got old so fast. But yeah, enjoying it but not as much as pretty much all the LaD games probably. It’s bigger than I thought it would be too, counter is saying 21 hours into it now and it seems like I’m maybe not even halfway? So yeah; I doubt I’ll finish it before TLOUP2 on Friday but I’ve enjoyed it as a little interlude.
  17. My local store moved from a proper shop to inside the Sports Direct nearby. My biggest brick and mortar store now is Smyths just down the road from me, they are way better than GAME anyway. I haven’t bought anything from GAME in donkeys years, maybe some cut price game in a Black Friday sale a couple years ago? I don’t see them going under as they’re owned by the Frasers Group though. They’re mostly irrelevant already, I guess Frasers don’t want to deal with the hassle of pre-owned games. I’ve always been a physical guy but almost without realising it the past 2 years I’ve slowly gone to digital, with cut price gift cards from ShopTo etc. you can get them for almost the same as physical and don’t have to rely on the increasingly unreliable Royal Mail. For must play games, to not have that worry and be able to play at midnight right away, it’s worth it. I don’t really buy enough or play enough games anymore for physical games to be worth much at retail the time I’m done with them too.
  18. Bit late but reviews: OpenCritic Metacritic (PS5 Version)
  19. I have the exact same issue, if it uploads and is black I usually take a screenshot of the same photo. Upload that and it works, I’ve no idea why, but it’s a workaround.
  20. 10/01/24 - Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (PS5) - 8/10
  21. I don’t think there was anything as egregious as Bowser is the villain in Mario. I read one thing that inferred a side character died, another thing that revealed which character you play is in the finale and the suit he wears and other bits of pieces I didn’t want to know. In my view whenever talking about the ending of a game, whether obvious or not, whatever it may be, put it in spoiler tags, years ago I had something small ruined from TLOUP2 that the person didn’t even think anyone would probably pick up on. I pick up on small things and my imagination then goes ‘if he’s there then this must mean…’ and so on. It doesn’t matter anyway, I have had a few detailed ruined I would’ve rather not had ruined but it’s not the end of the world and hasn’t ruined the game overall for me in the end.
  22. It does seem I’m a bit more down on it than you guys, which is unusual lol but yeah at this time I’m at more of an 8 with it. I do have probably just over half the game to go though. I will stress I am enjoying it but it hasn’t gone beyond that really at this stage. I’ve played every moment on the TV as I’m unemployed until February 5th, so the PSP is collecting dust for the time being lol. Graphically, I did enable 120hz to get the extra 10fps in fidelity mode which might have had something to do with it? I’ve no idea otherwise but as it’s gone on the game has looked better and better, it’s just that opening segment that was jarring really.
