  1. Dates here : https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/07/15/coming-soon-xbox-game-pass-console-and-pc-july-2020/ Some good stuff there. Very much looking forward to Yakuza 2, The Touryst and Carrion. Touryst is on my wish list for Switch so that’s good.
  2. Well, the weird characters are here, present and correct. Oddball sheriff, at least 3 versions of the same person in the hotel and topped off by a talking painting.

    Comfort viewing

    I’m not expecting a big response, but what are the TV shows and films you keep watching, despite all the other stuff you haven’t seen that you could watch? I’m currently re-watching Ashes to Ashes, after I re-watched all of Life On Mars. It’s just a fun fish out of water kind of show that I love. I also seem to re-watch Shutter Island every couple of weeks. Not sure why, I just like it. It’s also good to watch looking out for the little details you wouldn’t notice the first time. I would elaborate, but y‘ know, spoilers. I also have a small collection of things I like watching when I’ve had a smoke. Some are educational, some are just weird like The Midnight Gospel on Netflix.
  4. I remember seeing it in the cinema and liked it, but I can’t remember anything about it and haven’t seen it since.
  5. I think multi game threads in the impressions folder makes sense for some things, but quite rare. The bullet hell/shooters one makes sense. The Picross one makes sense (I mean, it’s Picross). I don’t get the point of the Stadia one as the games are the same (more or less) as PC versions. I remember on another forum years ago, people used to make impressions threads for each different version of a game on the system they played it on. So you’d have an Assassin’s Creed thread for PS3 and another for 360, which was weird.
  6. I’m watching the Giant Bomb Talk Over version. A shame we won’t get to watch the suits squirm due to the predator news.
  7. Yeah, the cel-shaded style is new. I only had half an hour before work to give this a try, I never got out of the opening conversation. First impressions aren’t great. I didn’t enjoy having to press a button to move the conversation going at every step. A character will say one word and then won’t move on till you’ve pressed the button. Then they say a whole sentence, press a button. Then say some more words, press a button. Then it’s the turn of the other character to speak. It’s weird. Hopefully there’s an option somewhere to change that.
  8. I pre-ordered it, wake up today to watch the Sterling video and it looks like it runs terribly.
  9. New update is out so you can go deep sea diving. Pretty simplistic as you’d expect but quite relaxing. Bubbles appear on the surface so you dive there, grab whatever is on the bottom and come back up. I wondered how they’d handle boundaries and there’s a net running all around the island to stop you from going too far, but the distance you can swim is quite far.
  10. Watched Into The Spider-Verse last night for the first time. Really enjoyed it but was somehow expecting billions of Spider-Men. I thought Nic Cage was great.
  11. Finished it yesterday. Agree with Ben. Too long, they make their points and then keep going. I think I preferred the first game for story. I will say, though, top marks to ND for pissing off the incels. “Oh, you were upset that Ellie is gay? Let’s see what we can do about that....” Genius, keep it up.
  12. At the point I’m at, I’ve only had maybe two story moments that might be considered spoilers. Some way through day 3, so don’t open spoiler tags if not that far yet: I could be wrong and there’s been more that I haven’t picked up on or forgotten, but personally I wouldn’t feel like it wasn’t worth playing if I knew those already going in. It’s a fine game at this point and a good story, but it really suffers from the length. I felt the same way about Uncharted 4.

    Mixer Closing

    They could let them go or I guess they could still keep them in contract and away from Twitch?
  14. I’m on Day 3 I think. Made it to the Ferris wheel, which should indicate where I am without spoiling anything. Playing on Normal, died a fair few times. I’m really enjoying it but not finding it as brutal as I was probably expecting. Might be expectations, or the worst is yet to come, or just 2020 yo. Having said that, some of the Ellie deaths and enemy deaths can be really fucked up, but the story itself isn’t as brutal as I was expecting. Yet. It’s good but it’s probably not one I’ll be in a rush to play through again, mostly due to how long it is.
  15. Does it have a “previously on The Last of Us” type intro to remind you of what happened on the last game?
  16. I think Tomb Raider might have been the first time they specifically said it would be timed exclusive. These other games eventually came out on other platforms, so you have to guess the contracts were similar except maybe they had something written in to never mention that it was timed? https://gamerant.com/best-timed-exclusives/
  17. I had a modded PS1 to play pirates, a modded Dreamcast that I didn’t use for anything nefarious or home brew. An original Xbox that had been modded but was in my house exactly 24 hours before my house got broken into and it got snatched. I can’t remember if the Wii was modded. I have vague memories of it being done but I didn’t use it for anything. I think that’s about it. I had the most use out of the PS1. Totally wrong to do, but in my rather flimsy defence, I was living in a bedsit spending pennies on food.

    Ring Fit Adventure

    The length is fine for me, I guess you could always up the difficulty? Whenever it starts I always I tell it to keep it as it is. In one session I’ll do as far as I can in each world, either to finish it or fail out near the end. That’s honestly enough for me at this stage! I’m looking forward to finishing the story mode and taking a look at the other modes. I did a couple of the mini games that world 4 threw up and they seem fun enough.

    Ring Fit Adventure

    Stumbled on the last normal level in world 4. My own fault, should’ve used the smoothies I had. Also, colour coded enemies becomes a big thing and I changed my moves so I had two of every colour, or so I thought until I had a fight with a different coloured enemy. So I guess I have to choose which colours to only have one of. It should be fairly obvious, but worth pointing out that the first time you find the shop, you can’t buy smoothies until you do a task for the shop keeper, but you can buy new clothes and they all have stat upgrades. I had enough money to replace all my clothes, so well worth doing.
  20. Runner 3 is currently only 98p on Switch. I got it for free using points and well worth it. Normal price is 14 quid!

    Ring Fit Adventure

    I’ll have to see if I took a screeenshot of that, I finished world 2 day before yesterday. I did have to redo the boss fight as I got my ass kicked. I think it was because I ignored the advice to take out the arms first. I’d love to be able to play it every day but after 12 hours in work I just want to cuddle up to pizza on the couch. I’ll try some more tomorrow before work.

    Ring Fit Adventure

    You need to jog normally and also jog lifting your knees up higher to get up steps in game. Plus stretching exercises with hands right above your head.

    Ring Fit Adventure

    Did the first world earlier. Had to take a breather afterwards. Much more of a workout than I expected. Shocked me so much I nearly choked on my pizza I bought to celebrate getting fit.
  24. Didn’t Ellen Page get a bit miffed that they seem to have based the look of the character on her, without permission or a deal?
