That’s actually a really good trailer. I didn’t know what this game was about at all but that’s a cool story by the looks. The accents are also still ridiculous which is great 🙂

You don’t want to enter the gecko?

Wait I got a joke Who wants to Gexflix and chill? Fuck I’m too late Shuddup. Tell me what these are

Anyone want to come over and play video games?

8/10 on Metacritic https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/fire-emblem-warriors-three-hopes I wonder if the Musou spin-off is still fun if you have no clue about the main series

Farcry 5 is a nice surprise. Don’t know anything else about the other games aside FIFA

How do you like a post twice I need to do that quick

I got Farcry 6 for £18 which far and away the best deal I’ve seen for this game. I kept seeing Mario Football on Twitter and it sold me. New Super Mario U I’ve wanted on Switch forever and it’s never going to get any cheaper so finally bought it. I know people look down on those games but I still like them. I finally bought Season Pass for GGS as well so now I can lab properly and think I’m going to to start playing Samurai Boobs a little bit

This is so funny to me 😄

Sorry I had to go quick @HandsomeDead. We can play some more later/another day if you want. Got a lot of characters to grind to max level! What was your party problem? Did you have to reinstall the game? Playing online is much more fun. I think the thing I dislike most about this genre is getting hit through my attacks or just randomly by something I didn’t see coming. It’s so annoying. Playing with others helps with this because everyone is helping you punch so there’s less getting interrupted and people are taking up the screen so you can focus on some enemies instead of everything. The downside is people are just super-ing all the time so sometimes don’t get chance to really do much. But I still prefer playing with others than alone. Makes the game better. Playing this I couldn’t help thinking I wish there were a TMNT game like the GotG game. Like better than that, but that kind of idea. There’s an achievement in this game for getting a 250 hit combo How?

Everybody? When the main actor is a out of control, violent drunk who has at best questionable relationships with a very young girl everybody will notice? The problem is he is the lead actor. He is going to be in 90%+ of the scenes so CGI or reshooting. It’s basically altering the entire movie. I think I saw it already cost 200 million dollars (What are they doing over there it’s a Flash movie) They’re already going to lose money. The right thing to do would be to do whatever it takes to get this idiot out of the film, but it’s Hollywood so that won’t happen. I think if I were them I’d put it on a streaming service and cut my losses. The guy who just took over WB is new anyway and walked in to this so if I was him I would take the hit and fire everyone involved and be like what the fuck were you people doing

@anyone want to play some Turtles today? It’s got cross play too

Oh, I would take Sonic from Sonic Team in a heartbeat. Either give the series to the Mania Team, Nintendo or sometimes I think the Burnout developer would be good because they make super high speed action racing games. Just got to put some jumping in it

11-12 hours in and this game is starting to get actually difficult. Every 20-30 minutes I’m running in to a boss or mini boss that is wiping out my whole party a few times before I figure out a strategy. There was actually one really cool boss which was a thunder storm eagle monster thing. It’s surrounded and calls for little electric orb monsters that shoot it with electricity, and one it’s got 4 charges it does a big attack and blows the party off a cliff to instant death. The trick is to have one of your party members act as a tank and taunt all the enemies, including the boss. Then another party member throws these bombs and is the main damage dealer. Then the 3rd part member is healing. I worked this out quick but getting it right was hard. Firstly because the damage dealer ran out of bombs. Which meant the tank character had to do some attacking too. But get the timing on the taunts wrong and the eagle gets charged and death. A really interesting boss fight and my most deaths so far. But over the past 3-4 hours of so the game’s difficulty has been ramping up. It started with close calls. Then 1 death but get them the next try. Then a few deaths and have to re-equipped my party with appropriate items. Now it’s dying a few times to each boss to really nail down the strategy It’s like it’s becoming a real video game. It’s a shame the story and story telling is such utter shit. I’m enjoying it enough. I like the characters enough. But this is some weak fucking sauce the way things lead from one to another. The coincidences, the idiotic choices the characters make, how slow the game is to reveal things you can see coming from a mile away. I enjoy the game and the fights are actually getting interesting which I wasn’t expecting. So I’m liking it more. But the story here is comedic. So much padding, so much pointless leg work, so many dumb and lazy things happen to get characters from A to B. Even in the context of JRPG’s which mostly have some really silly stories and stuff. This is low quality.

So story mode is 2 hours long, but there's a few reasons to replay this game so that's good (But stuff like this really makes sense as a Game Pass game). Unfortunately I did not like it as much as I wanted too. Some of it is just inherent to the genre that I don't really like. I thought by the look of this game, the energy of the game. If I could get in to the game I could get over the type of game it is, but either it's not good enough of beat 'em ups are too annoying. The level challenges in this game seem fucked. Beat levels without taking damage? I could barely beat the levels without dying. I get that it takes replays and practice. But in a type of game where enemies can randomly throw out punches. Ho, ho, ho. Seems ridiculous. Seems like you need to get in a party of 3 or 4 and take it in turns with someone avoiding everything and the other 3 fighting. The game has lots of positives. It looks great, sounds great, nice variety of moves. I only played as Donatello but it looks like all characters have their own moves, strengths and weakness' so that's cool. I'll definitely play some more to try out the different characters and I bet the game is more fun with other people. But even as short as 2 hours it did wear thin by the end. I didn't really understand the level up system? Just seems the character gets stronger randomly. I didn't really get it. Overall nice. But a bit too long, a bit too difficult, a bit too annoying. I dunno. I like it, but didn't come close to reaching my expectations.

18/06/22 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (Xbox) Story Mode Arcade Mode (Gnarly) 1000/1000g

That’ll be me too. I’ve just finished a pizza, started the game up and seen their game intro. As a 30-something man child I can say I’m happy already EDIT: Actually reverted back to unhappy I don’t like how difficult the game is. Why are side scrolling beat ‘em ups always so savage ☹️

This is what was coming back to me yesterday. I just forgot how close to them you have to be to knife. I was messing it up a lot in the beginning. Maybe it doesn’t come through in my 2am post last night but I was having such a good time with the game. It’s hard, kinda. But in an interesting way. Can’t wait for tonight see if I can clear chapter 2

They call it strategy

I just started this randomly on Switch and played through it. This game is notoriously short - except for when you die a lot right at the end. I cruised through right to the end and got the choice between the hard/true ending or the easy/normal ending and being over confident, I mean how many times have I played this game. + the false sense of security the game tricked me with by getting to the end no sweat - I said lets do the hard ending. Don't do it! The last dog fight with Star Wolf and his team took 6 of my 7 lives and literally sent me in to the final boss with one last hit. The Star Wolf fight was fucking hell. I dunno how you're supposed to do it or what the proper strategy is, I just managed to get through by the skin of my teeth with literally 1 hit left. I got to Andross who straight away smacked the shit out of me and I was like please let 0 count as life, which it did. Luckily on my next attempt I found a route that always gave an extra life so I had to grab that on every attempt to try get to the end. It took me maybe 20 minutes to get to the end and then an hour+ to finish it. That was seriously hard. I used to be so good at games when I was a kid lol. I used to fly through this no problem. I even remember earning the secret title screen which was earned by breaking all the scores on the hard route or something. I saved Falco first try and got the secret route on level 1 so managed that at least. I tell you what, though, this game is legit. The graphics are really dated on it obviously, but I think this holds up. This is a really great game. The ending. I forgot how cool and mysterious this was with his dad showing up and stuff. For a game that has a something hard to call a story it's a really cool thing

18/06/2022 - Star Fox 64 (Switch)

Managed to make it to chapter 2. Dead 4 times (2 to the fish, I didn’t realise I could move the boat). Saved like a billion times so far. About 2:45 hrs. I’m doing the opposite of a speedrun. I want to see just how long this game takes me to finish. It’s intentional, I’m meaning to take forever. Not going to lie that was a lot of fun. I’m a bit irritated by the buttons and the camera is a bit close and doesn’t control very well. Not even in combat, just trying to look around is a bit of a pain. It’s not horrible but definitely feels from like a long time ago. But it’s really great. This game does survival horror in a much more earned way than most games and that’s the survival comes from the moment to moment action instead of the action being hard because you have no ammo. It’s not a restriction on resources that makes it difficult, it’s actually playing the game which is very good. However I am really bad at it. I got to that big fight scene after the first merchant with the little bridges and stuff. It was only after I spent all my ammo and health items killing nearly everybody that I popped one in the head and they fell off the bridge. I totally forgot that was a thing. I’m also struggling to hit the dynamite sticks but that’s more of a Switch thing that anything else. It’s great way to play RE4 in terms of presentation. Not a great way to play it in terms of sticks. The only thing I don’t like about this game legit so far is it doesn’t leave me alone. You have a big action scene, walk in to the next bit, and there’s more dudes. It’s like we just did this. Feels like nearly every room is a combat encounter unto itself. Which this is an action game so sure. But it would be nice if it left me alone for a bit of calm for a little bit (Although there’s not much gameplay outside of shooting so maybe that’s part of it too) I was going to say maybe it’s missing more puzzles like the older games. But the big one I ran in to was the dial puzzle and went to Google after like 10 minutes because I’m a bitch. Maybe I should just stick to the shooting. That was really good overall, though. Just got a think a bit more instead of standing in one place head shotting everybody until I got no shit left

My guy high five ✋ The reviews are going to have to be astonishing to get me to play this. I’m not sure the visuals could put me off more

I post this here because it turned in to one. I’m also mashing it out at work so this is blat but why I hated FF7R It’s the combat and the boss fights. This game made me legit angry. Not like video game angry where it goes away after a few minutes, like this negatively affected my mood. Even when winning. The start was the House boss right. The highest pain was the leviathan boss fight. Or maybe the train boss fight not sure. The last straw was just playing Shinra tower. I never finished the game, I couldn’t play anymore. Not exactly the same but sort of similar to what I didn’t like about GotG. I can’t tell the difference between good play and bad play. What made it worse is I’m not alien to the mechanics. It’s stagger gauges, weak points, team combos, ancient old JRPG shit thrown in the the mix. I think the only thing that threw me is Tifa has a knockdown thing I had to Google because I didn’t understand she was the only one who had it, or how to use it. So except for one thing I’m looking at this game like I’m sure I know how this all works and then get in to a boss fight and was continually left like what the fuck. What do you want me to do. I just don’t get it. But then I would do the same fight again without changing anything and win and be left with a bigger WTF. I was so mad even when I was winning because like why. What is the the fucking difference. The only 2 boss fights I got stuck on for hours was the House fight because even when I would win I’d reset it to try do it better, but I never got there and I was getting madder and madder being like wtf does this game want. Then the Leviatan fight where I had to take apart my whole team and respec them specially to be able to beat it. That took hours and was maddening too. Most other boss fights I beat first time or the first few times but so many of them devolved in to Phoenix Down and potion spamming slugfests it just made me feel bad. It was like that from boss 1. The first boss with the tail laser I needed 5 Phoenix Downs to get through and I was like, err, well it’s the first fight, I guess I’ll get better. But no. The game was just a downer pretty much the entire time. But again I accept it might just be me. The thing about RDR2 is I completely understand why people don’t like that game. I’m not blind to it, I just embraced it because I get what they’re going for and am along for the ride I tried for 20-30 hours to embrace FF7R and could just not get out of just true misery. For the first few hours the characters and music carried me through but when that wore off I could not get away from how much I truly, you can’t understand it, truly hated playing this video game. It might just be me and I never figured out how to play it, but I can’t think of another time that’s happened. So something is wrong here. It might be me and this is why I say worst gaming experience and not worst game. Because even if there is nothing wrong about how it plays I’m telling you my time playing it was the absolute fucking worst in ways extremely few games can match

Not going to lie FF7R is one of the worst gaming experiences I’ve had in generations of games. It lives down in the wasteland of dog shit with MUA3, Horizon 2, and something else I really hated but can’t remember. Either way. Top 5 worst game I’ve played in a very long time. But also everything I hate about the game is stuff I’ve heard no one else talk about so it’s very likely it’s just me and not the game. That’s why I hold off saying worst game and keep it to worst game experience. Because playing the first game was a fucking dreadful time. When everyone was pissing themselves about the remake going “oh, my god what If they mess it up” and I was like chill even if it doesn’t live up to the original it’ll be fine. Then the game comes out and flips the whole thing. Everyone is like “this game is great” and I’m like you’re fucking mad. But it could also very well be me. I keep trying to find the energy to give it another go. At least now I got a deadline to do that
