Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Need to think what to play next. I've more or less completed Pokèmon Brilliant Diamond and am on the final mission (I think) on Advance Wars Dark Conflict. Thinking Last of Us Part Two or the Switch version of Link's Awakening at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend Mario Wonder if you're looking for shorter, punchier games. It'll still take a good while to finish with some incredibly hard levels but you don't forget the plot etc the way you can with a Zelda game. Links awakening is good too though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links awakening is good too though I'm likely waiting until Christmas to have Mario Wonder, though would be the sort of game I'd play right now. I've played Links Awakening before on the Game Boy and Game Boy Colour (Christ I'm old), so would be interested to see how the Switch version looks.

The Switch version is actually really nice and the remake has been done with a lot of care. Honestly though Mario Wonder might be a better fit for something to just play slowly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put link's awakening down for a week you'll plug it back in and end up trying to remember what you're meant to be doing. I never played the original but it was a lovely game to play, and really highlights the genius of game design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its one of those older Zelda's where there isn't really much to remember but staying away from it won't help you remember where you are. I think both the old and the new have their own merits. I played the original so long ago I can't even remember most of it. The new one felt a lot more polished (as it should be really) and this is Nintendo so oversight into their work was always going to be top notch. I tried the new Robocop and all I have to say is this. I am surprised anyone thought it was a good idea to pay as much as people should be paying for this. It's so unrefined its ridiculous.

Would arguably say it stands up well against the other classics in the Zelda series. Had both the Game Boy and Game Boy Colour versions when they came out (despite being the same but you know..........colour!!!) and might still have my Game Boy Colour version somewhere.

Thinking Last of Us Part Two or the Switch version of Link's Awakening at the moment. Try Last Of Us 2. You get to play Ellies and Abis story which mixes it up well. Helps you to understand things from both sides perspectives. Story isn't good as the first one but living up to that was always going to be difficult.

I find it quite easy honestly but then again I like these kinds of games a lot. It was hard because I wasn't paying attention to certain things. Stuff like crafting, storing and properly understanding the map. Am now on chapter 6 and have to say it's a good game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the older ones are just as nice, I'd even go so far as to recommend RE2:REMAKE as something post this game if you're having fun with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does ... for the enemies haha. On a more serious note, the games are very different from each other. You have "lesser" control on the aim feature and you tend to have run motions that don't always make for the best when trying to run away from enemies. More corridor styled gaming as well which I sort of like and imo its a lot more scarier than RE4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I second RE2 Remake as well. Was very good overall, with my only gripe really being how the story interwined with each other compared to the original. I won't spoil anything.

MUFC 1,503 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I'll watch the gameplay of the second remake online. That way I'll get an idea of if it's to my liking. Oh find the Church key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush 296 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 i was playing with a long time gamer pal on a rust server trying the attack heli. we have insane hours with the battlefield 4 attack heli and I found the system identical and not much of a learning curve. it's a beast but not a fortress like battlefield. it is weak to helpless against SAMs which are seriously OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted November 26, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted November 26, 2023 @Harry SMB: Wonder is a superb game. Spent a few hours on it during my layover at the airport on my way home and I like it a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted December 16, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted December 16, 2023 If you like Mecha-based games and love the idea of having to pilot a machine and combat this might be a good game for you. I have played about 2 hrs so far and I am loving it. Didn't realize FromSoftware and Bandai co-worked this and I'm probably selling it a bit short now but this is a good game imo. Enemies are hard, machine control isn't always the easiest and it does take some getting used to but once you get over those little problems there's a very complex game under the hood and if you're playing it on PC then turn it to max settings and watch it shine because it is also a very pretty game.

MUFC 1,503 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I've not played any of the Silent Hill games. The second one has been remade and is available for PS5 on pre-order. Is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Well Christmas has come and gone (more or less) and have got RE4 Remake and Mario Bros Wonder, as well as a pre order for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. When my assignment is finished, I'll be starting on one of these methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted January 1 Subscriber Share Posted January 1 I got several games during the Christmas sale, too. TheHunter: Call of the Wild, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure (thanks @Tommy), The Expanse: A Telltale Series, Disco Elysium, Assassin's Creed I: Director's Cut, and also installed Palia, a new free MMO game... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
