I think it plays a bit like the original NiOh without the disgusting difficulty if you don't choose Legend. It's got a lot of exploration in it but it does get a bit repetitive at times. However, the duels are super fun and a bit challenging as well. I'd say its really good as they use the story to generate a lot of interest in the game and you dont spend a lot of time listening to them talk and more time doing stuff which I like. It's actually a bit like Phantom Pain where you can choose to stay on the path or just roam the land and do stuff. Edited August 5, 2020 by Mel81x Quote

Panflute Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Finished Life is Strange 2, which I'd gotten a few months ago on Steam. (MINOR SPOILERS) Honestly disappointing. The writing ranged from decent to very poor. Especially the political commentary seemed shoehorned. You can really tell that the main writers are Europeans with a limited understanding of American culture (sovereign citizens working together with cops?!). The entire premise of the game does not make much sense either. Without giving away too much, for the entire game I kept thinking "Wait, why are we running? This is just going to make things worse." And in my playthrough, it did. It was interesting to see the road trip formula play out. It's a big contrast with the smalltown/high school setting of the original arc, but it also made it obvious why the latter worked better. Due to the surroundings constantly changing, there's very little going on in terms of character bonding and emotional development. That a chapter that sorts of mimicks the 'staying in one place' concept is by far the most enjoyable episode of the game is very telling. In the end there was enough good stuff in the game to enjoy a single playthrough, but honestly it doesn't hold a candle to the original game (which had its own share of issues), let alone the prequel to the original.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 13, 2020 Subscriber Posted August 13, 2020 Just finished Ghost of Tsushima, what a ride. I'll be very surprised if this doesn't get nominated for a GOTY award just because the story is extremely good and while the gameplay can get a bit monotonous at times they switch it up enough. Quote
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 17, 2020 Subscriber Posted August 17, 2020 Started playing "Fall Guys" with some friends and its quite fun. Quote

I have had my fill of mischief on it over the weekend. Its good fun when you play with friends and are all chatting with each other. Good solo too but not quite as fun imo. Quote

I think the local play would be fun but I also think it would take away from the mess it becomes when you have 60 people start out trying to race to a finish line. Still, if you want to do mini-tournaments it might be a lot of fun. I've been playing it about 20 minutes a day and I kind of like that its pure chaos. Quote
Mpache Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I have also been playing Fall Guys. A lot more fun then it looked when I first saw it. I just hope they add a few more minigames. Kind of a small selection. Also downloading the new Flight Simulator as we speak. Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 My wife and I just got Smash Bros on the Switch and we've been playing a lot of that lately. It's nice to play a fighting game that's easy as fuck, because usually they are very hard and I have to concentrate really hard and get all sweaty to even come close to winning (and I usually don't because for some reason my wife is absolutely incredible at Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat).

Smash Bros is one of those 'easy to play' games with a fair bit of depth if you try to 'master' any of the characters. Granted, it's more frantic than technical ala Street Fighter, but just because it's so easy to pick up and just a lot of fun that I class them as my favourite fighting games. I have Nintendo Online for a couple more months so am happy to give you a game at some point if you fancy it. Quote

I don't think I have Nintendo online (when we've been visiting each others islands on Animal Crossing, we've been using the local connection instead of the internet)... but if there's a trial or anything, I'd be down to try. You'll probably murder me, I'm not the greatest at fighting games. The chaos of Smash Bros sort of gives me a better shot though with my button mashing. Quote

I'm shit at the game despite loving the series. I like sinking time into games I like, but not to the point of 'trying to master' something as to me, it starts to sink the fun out of it if it gets too serious. 1 Quote

I used to play competitively and there was one guy, you know that one guy. I was in college at the time and he'd come down from his dorm room to the common area like he'd just woken up and pick the most absurd characters like Dudley and give me a ass whooping. I told him to compete but he was too lazy to go to competitions. 1 Quote
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted August 30, 2020 Subscriber Posted August 30, 2020 Got Game Pass again for Xbox so downloaded F1 2019. Really enjoying it actually despite not really watching F1 in a few years. Bahrain is by far my favourite track. Quote
