OCH Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 First play session of 2020 AKA I woke up at stupid o' clock on my last day off. Shovel Knight - I was curious. Some time ago, I bought Shovel Knight via the 'Treasure Trove' edition. At the time, I was disappointed that for whatever reason, the game just didn't click with me. So I promptly abandoned the game and moved on to others. Fast Forward to more recent times, I became aware of the new, additional expansions: King of Cards & Showdown. So I did some checking and one very brief update later, Treasure Trove now contained both of those additions. So I erased my save from whenever and gave it another go. Turns out when played with a controller and not handheld, the controls are a lot less fiddly. Blasphemous - This is so me. The tone, the setting, the Castlevania gameplay. I only really gave SK about 30 minutes playtime, this I gave two hours and I am actually looking forward to getting back to it. Cuphead remains the last of the games I bought last year that I still haven't touched, I will wait until I've finished one of the above at least though. As I'm thinking at this point, given the time between play sessions, I'll likely have to start Dark Souls and Hollow Knight again from the beginning also, and they are a fair bit longer.

Maf Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I tried the search function but couldn’t find any results so has anyone here played A Hat in Time and have any opinions on it? Good, bad, indifferent? I saw some gameplay that looked really good and audience scores are really high but review scores are mediocre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 All I know about it @Maf is the guy that made it has some questionable views on things but the game is an excellent old-school 3D platformer (review scores are good at 79% average? ?). The Switch version is meant to be awful though but that’s just from what I’ve heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 This is pretty cool, the developer of VVVVV released its source code https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV It's very messy, which is oddly inspiring. As a self taught 'dev' there's stuff in here that even makes me ? https://www.polygon.com/2020/1/13/21064100/vvvvvv-source-code-game-development-terry-cavanagh-release I would really like to see the source code of Outer Wilds. Maybe we'll get it in 2030. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Mortal Kombat 11 not a headline at Evo 2020 But you know who is? Look at my boy up there chillin’ in the top right. KA-ME-HA-ME-HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Also, the best MvC game! I mean they will likely choose less than a dozen from the roster, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think I might start (restart?) Kentucky Route Zero as a chapter a week Sunday game. I only found out I owned it as the final chapter was coming out but I think I bought it as it launched and played the first chapter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I’ve been out the loop recently gaming wise, some health issues and work stuff but need to focus on me a little. So last few months game wise what releases have I missed? Anything I really should of got? Last purchases was Borderlands 3, Call of Duty oh and I downloaded Rage 2 on xb1...have no idea what I’ve missed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Last couple months all that comes to mind for me is Death Stranding. Caveat emptor with that one (I liked it, mostly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 @Manicm isn't Rage leaving Gamepass soon? You might have missed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I did start playing it just before Christmas...just didn’t go back, saw that gta5 is on there now, haven’t played that yet, although I got it on the ps3 just didn’t double dip..

Jimboxy Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 @Manicm you can't go to far wrong with GTA5, especially if you've not played it before. It's the best of the GTA games and I think one of my all time favourites. I'm tempted to triple dip and pick it up on pc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I recently found my first IGN series that I like and it’s their “Developers React to Speedrun” videos. More of these, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Some youtuber guy says more game delays are coming due to virus, just not announced Dunno who that dude is, but I wonder if VII remake gets pushed again. China outsourcers worked on stuff like dmc5, uncharted 4 etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 This virus is obviously terrible so any gaming stuff that gets delayed then whatever. Do what’s right by people forget the video games (Although I kind of hope everything does get delayed, honestly, I could do with the extra time!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Yeah you will need all that time to get back into FFXIV and start levelling alongside @HandsomeDead. I'm waiting for you guys in Shadowbringers Anyway that dude could be anyone but serie a games are getting cancelled and lots of pull outs from conventions, it would be expected to see delays too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I was thinking about the consoles the other day. I certainly looks like Next-Gen won't start in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 On a Chinese tech production forum there was a note saying all the workers at a Sony factory got moved to a different premises across the other side country so they could continue work on the PS5, hardly reliable info but just the same as rando YT guy up there.
