My mate has that @Mel81x and is really enjoying it. Been meaning to get Dead Cells at some point.

Brilliant. Half tempted to have that somewhere here.

Liverpool don't need him anyway, especially considering how much his wages would be.

I've read nothing but good things about it so am hoping it works well on consoles, especially if the game holds up on Switch.

I know its been on Steam for a bit, but Two Point Hospital has been announced for PS4, Xbox One and Switch. Due 'late 2019'. I hardly played Theme Hospital back in the day but heard this is very good and will be keeping an eye out.

And with that, world three is done, the dice man has rolled his last breath and the devil may now cry. Cuphead completed and it was very good from beginning to end, ramping the bosses up as you get close to the end. Think it's time for Mario Maker 2.

Meanwhile, in Labour run Wales, civil servants have blamed rising costs due to Brexit as a reason to scrap the M4 relief road. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/m4-relief-road-newport-brexit-16587653 For those unaware, this has been in discussion since the early 90's. But fuck it, blame Brexit for your own failure I guess.

It has a fair bit (especially that pissing dragon) but have completed the second world. Done two of the bosses on world three so not too shabby so far.

Coming to the Steam Direct shitfest soon.

Typical feminist. No context whatsoever and just seething because it's a white male on a £50 note.

It reminds me of a speech Kyle's mum made in the South Park film where before America goes to war with Canada, she mentions 'that graphic violence is ok, as long as people don't say naughty words. That's what this war is all about'. I don't know if it's an American thing or just in general, but people always seem up in arms over things that show smoking (I guess for the whole 'it encourages children' angle, despite the games being for adults) but happily ignore the part where you blow heads off, cut them with a chainsaw or explode them. I don't have an Xbox One but I enjoyed the first three. Didn't even bother with Judgement and it just looks like they're now milking it.

Bit similar here, though admittedly it's more that I don't want to play anything if it starts to push a little late after work and doing other things, especially assignment work atm. Took me 4 months to finish Resi 2 ffs.

Varies from game to game I believe, though games usually tend to look better when docked than in handheld mode (usually going down to 720p instead of 1080p, 900p etc). Not that it makes a huge difference on that small a screen mind. I'm sure I have read that games docked tend to run better than in handheld mode. I'll have a browse. EDIT: General idea I've read is that the GPU can't run fully when in handheld mode due to things like battery life and possible overheating.

Saw this and not too fussed about this really. Though it's cheaper, I think it loses its appeal a bit by just being a handheld rather than being a hybrid that can be played as a handheld and docked. Let's also not forget that games tend to run better docked than in handheld mode.

For a game that was considered impossible to port on to Switch, it looks and plays superbly. Completed the first world and have moved on to the second. Expecting the difficulty to ramp up though.

Switch. Don't have an Xbox One so the announcement earlier in the year was most welcome.

Started Cuphead. Really liking it so far, though can already see how hard people have said and that's just the beginning.

And I finally competed that as well. Tried the extra modes to see what they were like and quite liked them. Reminded me of the modes on Resi 3 all those years ago. Very difficult mind. Can only do them on the 'training' mode as the main one is basically Capcom giving you the middle finger.

Bought Mario Maker 2 for £30. While I won't play it straight away, I can't see it being as low for some time as Nintendo games tend to keep their price for some time.

Fantastic. I know we were fucked but this says a lot. Deputy economy minister for Wales Lee Waters has said.......... that the Welsh Labour Government hasn't had a clue on the economy since devolution. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-48757245 For those unaware, the first meeting of the newly formed Assembly was in 1999.

EA with another cracker. By trying desperately to defend loot boxes during a session with UK Parliament's Digital, Media, Culture and Sports Committee, it's now been confirmed that they aren't actually loot boxes, but 'surprise mechanics'. The 'surprise mechanics' were also likened to children toys you get in Kinder Surprise eggs. https://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2019/06/20/ea-defends-loot-boxes-calls-them-surprise-mechanics?abthid=5d0b5eda448e3d2e3600038d

Completed that yesterday. Now on to Leon's side.

Need to get back on Resi 2. At the end for Claire's side now.

So like Labour with Iraq then?

Possibly too early to show anything just yet. This reminds me that I need to play the original trilogy at some point. Microsoft and Nintendo currently have a close relationship don't they? This is probably the result of that, plus it's great that Banjo comes home. If the fighters can be bought separately, I'll be getting this.
