I’ve put a bit more time into it and glad I stuck with it a bit longer. Don’t get me wrong I’m not as enamoured as a lot of people. But I’m definitely finding enjoyment in it now as a chill evening game. Some of the terminology and names are starting to finally stick too.

I think I’m with you on this. Keep the movement they’ve learnt from this - Shadow feels so much better to control. But otherwise, yea. Keep it simple.
-
I’ve started this. A couple of hours in. It's not grabbing me really mostly because of this what Mary says. Doesn’t help I’ve got no memory so keep forgetting which all of these names and terms mean. I’ve basically got no idea what’s going on or what things I should be putting my dice rolls into in level of importance/usefulness. All feels a bit aimless and I’m not enjoying the story at all because of the nonsense words getting bandied about. Think I’ll be dumping it soon unfortunately.

Yea. Still the director of this is a bit of an arsehole too. Going off at reviewers for ruining his 90+ MC score. https://gamerant.com/kingdom-come-deliverance-2-negative-reviews-woke-response-vavra-kcd2/ Wonder if he had it in his own Fantasy critic. Then I understand the pain.

Yea that and to a lesser extent the labyrinth are the areas I was eluding to about it getting a bit much combat wise. But yea, lighting was getting a bit of an issue here as well. It was initially pretty cool just how dark and oppressive it was - really made me happy to own an OLED at that point. But eventually got a bit tiresome.

They may have patched it since to make it easier? The 24 hour bug thing doesn’t exist anymore for example. I got the Water ending on first blind playthrough. Then I did the 100% guided Ng+ run with all extra endings and going for Maria - which I got (after some confusion with the Stillness ending I managed to sort by loading an earlier save without a specific item). Then I managed to get the Leave ending by just reloading before the end fights & spending 5 minutes If that didn’t work I would have fucked the platinum off. Those endings sound way too random to get if that trick doesn’t work.

Yea that’s far worse. Havent got a problem with the gore & stuff btw. If anything it was funny. Just didn’t think anything they did at the end fit with the rest of the film at all.

The Substance For the first 3/4+ I was properly enjoying this. So fucking stylish, interesting and entertaining even though it did confuse me a but at times. Dennis Quaid is so good in it. But at the end it went off the rails completely. To the point it’s just about ruined the entire film for me. Good knows what they were thinking? Maybe they just didnt know how to end it? It seemed to have a natural end point where they could have just killed the main character(s). But chose insanity instead. It felt like it was from a completely different film & didn’t fit at all. So disappointing.

Ive finished this now & even went back and got the platinum I loved I that much! Absolutely incredible game. A couple of areas did get a bit too crowded with enemies and combat heavy towards the end which killed the tension and atmosphere. But apart from that small niggle in those couple of sections it was brilliant.

AI literally steals work without permission while putting the peoples work it steals out of work and business. It uses an ungodly amount of electricity and water - https://www.forbes.com/sites/cindygordon/2024/02/25/ai-is-accelerating-the-loss-of-our-scarcest-natural-resource-water/ Fuck AI. A lot of the comparisons are already problematic as been said but they’ve still got a lot more human input and checks than AI slop.

Yea World Driver was great. Closest thing the N64 had to a Gran Turismo even if it was more arcade leaning still. Beetle Adventure Racing was far better than it had any right to be too. Sticking with racers. San Francisco Rush 2049 was great as well. I know it was on other consoles but N64 is where I played it so that’s where I place it.

Payday treat. Ascent is available dead cheap at the minute too. Heard mixed things but interested enough to try at that price.
-
Some reason I suddenly wanted to really play Blast Corps so fired this up. You know what? It’s still a Hell of a lot of fun!! I’m having a great time on it. So weird having a good frame rate and good controls on it! Making getting golds a breeze so far.
-
I really enjoyed this back in the day. Didn’t have much competition on N64 though so that probably helped it.
-
I think the swimming controls are inverted by default, you can change it in the settings. That helped me a lot with the swimming sections. Let me know how you get on with the clock tower platforming bit… oh boy! Utter shite! It’s a great game though, honest 😃

Forza Horizon 5 coming to PlayStation 5. https://www.eurogamer.net/xboxs-forza-horizon-5-officially-heading-to-playstation-5-this-spring If you like racing games at all and you only have a PS5 this is a must buy when it comes out! (Was going to post this on the FH5 thread but figured more would see it here)

Completed - that was an absolute fucking blast!! Had a great time with it. So satisfying and fun & some surprisingly great little set pieces. Faulted a bit towards the end with the old Japanese dev trick of having a boss rush to pad it out - thankfully something they’ve move way from these days. But otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Nah you’re crazy. Easily best AAA game released in last few years.

Someone posted AI has stolen Open AI’s job. That really tickled me.

That’s when I really got into VF and unlocking all the cosmetics. That kind of thing really helps more casual players like myself get into these kind of games, they really shouldn’t underestimate it. It’s something that’s always been missing from the MvsC 2 re-releases. I played that for hours just unlocking characters, since that’s been taken away I just can’t get into it again. There’s no point in me playing it as online is just too much. Especially since I’ve not been practicing while unlocking stuff.
-
Fair enough. I might download the OG and compare.

It’s definitely easier on Notmal. I’m up to chapter 10 & died once. Doesn’t matter to me though as I’m having loads of fun, it’s still a challenge - make it through a lot of fights “only just” & it’s still satisfying as fuck. Ive read that on higher difficulties it’s just as punishing if not more so than the original so just do that?
