On Xbox (And I assume other places?) they have a Sonic sale on because apparently it’s an anniversary. Of what I don’t know. Sonic Team Racing - £26.24 Sonic Mania - £9.59 Encore DLC - £1.99 Sonic Forces - £17.49 Sonic Generations - £7.49 Sonic Unleashed - £5.99 Sonic Adventure - £1.69 Sonic Adventure 2 - £3.37 Sonic Adventure 2 - £1.69 Sonic CD - £1.69 Sonic 1, 4 part 1 & 2 are Also on sale but I can’t see how much they are because I bought them before

Xbox has Lords of the Fallen for £3.74.

It took me 60+ hours to do the same in Origins so is it fair to assume the game is double the size? Also how many trophies are related to boats? Well done, by the way

So turns out the 4 is the start of a countdown which means I guess the big reveal will be on Friday? No idea to what the reveal will be, though.

There’s a bunch of preset things you can pick from a wheel of stuff but it’s quite general

I just found this Stokes song that is so good it makes me want to punch someone Think I’m on my 15th repeat of it already today

Summer Games Done Quick starts next Sunday. Didn’t start watching these speedrun events until about two years ago and now I really love these things. The whole week’s schedule is below. Can’t say I’m super familiar with the runners, and I tend to watch them as they come up in my YT feed anyway. Punchy doing Silent Hill 3 should be good. He did a really fun run of Silent Hill 1 (Again below) I don’t know if a thread exists for speedruns, if not I’ll start one Sunday and post runs I think are cool (And people post the ones they like as well!) https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule

Browsing twitter I came across some promotional art and it looks amazing

I freaked out and bought Dark Souls 2 and 3 on PS4 and Borderlands and Dying Light on Xbox because they were all on sale. Think it was about £47 something for the lot I don’t have pictures for everything this is best I can do

I haven’t actually died in regular combat but that section messed me up. Maybe because I wasn’t running? But Ulthane wouldn’t move or do his side of stuff until I killed everything. I don’t know. It was a weird difficulty spike to the point I feel like I missed something obvious

Somehow I’ve put over 6 hours in to this game already and I’ve only cleared 2 dungeons. Looking like there is going to be at least 4 dungeons? Next one is in the Ashlands. The most surprising for me is how hard the combat has gotten. I never remembered this game being challenging but these enemies do not mess around! There was one particular section where you have to kill all these angels with a big gun and I actually died twice because there was just so many and they wouldn’t stop peppering me with fire while big angel warrior guys came in and gave me the business. I had absolutely no idea how to effectively handle that so I had to play it like CoD on Veteran or something where I’m hiding around a corner and just trying to get one enemy in sight at a time to take them down. Really feel like I was missing a trick there I don’t think it should of been that hard.

I’ve got a mic @Sly Reflex Again I’m free pretty much any day, Post 7pm is good for me on weekdays, weekends literally whenever. Anyone hit hit me up when they want to go, I want to see what this game is like now it actually has stuff in it

Maybe I just remember parts of it incorrectly. If it were left to me to describe that scene it would be Cloud lies on the floor crying while Zack and Tifa bone to the victory theme over Sephiroth’s corpse

I thought Tifa did Sephiroth with the sword and then almost died? ?

She trying to protect him because otherwise he would know he was a background character! She remembers Zack for all sorts of reasons, mostly because she knows he was the hero of the incident and she is trying to protect her childhood friend from him remembering he’s a loser.

She wanted his dick

Anyway, original point being everything to do with Zack makes Cloud lame. How did he go through one thing and freak out so much he imagined this whole other life, and then goes on to be the one to save everyone? He is to mentally weak to do so.

I’m pretty sure in that conversation her and Cloud has in the trippy life stream scene that is where she says that he is getting mixed up with Zack because Cloud remembers doing all that shit in Nibelwhatever and she’s like “No, dork”. And I stand by what I said she was all over Zack’s dick

Go to the true story part and it says that Tifa and Zack has this whole adventure against Sephiroth. How you say they barely met?

https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Nibelheim_Incident

No Zack goes to her town and she meets him and gets horny for him. Then because Cloud is a weirdo he pretends that was him later. That’s why there’s a bit in FF7 when Tifa says to him “There’s things you remember that you shouldn’t and things you don’t remember that you should” or something because he put himself in Zack’s shoes. She’s like “How do you know that?” And the answer is because Cloud is wackadoodle

The best moment for me with Cloud is when it’s him and Tifa when they are young and they sitting on top of the water tank (?) And he’s talking about going off and joining soldier. Actually that might be my favourite scene in the game. I think it’s why I dislike the idea of Zack so much because it’s like oh those moments weren’t even yours and you’re not the guy Tifa likes. It’s like when you had a friend that was awesome and then you make new friends and they think you’re awesome and then the awesome friend comes back and everyone forgets you Or something It’s like fuck off Zack But then Cloud makes it worse because he pretends to be he’s awesome friend and it’s like oh this is why they forget you you’re a weirdo

I think my big problem with Cloud is I can’t reconcile how someone so psychologically weak could have the fortitude to save the world. It’s like well if Zack didn’t die he would of dealt with this shit straight away. And also who the fuck is Zack? CC aside when they make that reveal in FF7 it’s a very Japanese thing to out of nowhere introduce a new character that is meant to be cared about and mean something and it’s like you’ve pulled this card well too late. This is why stories introduce their characters in the beginning while you’re still open to caring about new things. Not a million hours in and be like “Oh, and this guy” nope it’s too late. I have already locked in in the characters I care about That is something I think JRPG’s struggle with in general. Like when a game adds new party members you can use half way through the game and it’s like nope. I know the characters I like now, leave them be Random lunch time rant over

Lol, well you have literally played 100x more of it than I have so I’ll take your word for it What are you playing it on?

I told Hendo the other day I’m lame and free all the time
