Anyone know about the target clearance? 150 for xbox one 1tb. Games for $5. When does it start?

[Autocon]

Target clearance sale is now on. Games for $5 - $10. :eek:

[Autocon]

Every target is out of the $150 1tb consoles in my state:(:mad::(

[Ralph Wiggum]

Well... thats hardly surprising.

[DELTAprime]

What's this clearance? Is Target getting out of video games like Kmart did?

I don't have a Target near me so I can't go check it out.:(

Clearing all the stock from last year at stupid low prices to make way for the AAA titles this year.

It started yesterday, most of the good stuff would have been cleared out by now, that is, if they had any since the really cheap stuff had only 1 or 2 copies at random stores.

I finished the first route and halfway through the second in Nier Automata. I was a bit iffy about the game at first since it was hyped up, but I am loving it. The music, the combat, the desolate world, one of my favourite games for sure.

Hope that worked as i am on my phone. Some stuff is in store only.

[Paulbot]

There are a couple of games on that list that I would love at those prices but odds are stacked too much against us. (Resident Evil 7 for $10 yes very much please!)

It wasnt at my local :'( very much against us

[Ralph Wiggum]

Played through several solid hours of Spider-man and I’m really enjoying it. From nailing the web-slinging feel to the script and story, this really feels like a Spider-man game. Although not as accurate as The Division, which had a smaller playable area, making the entire Manhattan island an open area does the franchise justice. Combat is done well enough, though the Arkham series is still the gold standard. My only gripe which others have found is the absurd amount of collectibles and irrelevant side quests. As far as I’m concerned its just pointless filler and a lazy way to make a game feel longer.

[DELTAprime]

Anyone else going to get the PlayStation Classic in December?

[1AZRAEL1]

Anyone else going to get the PlayStation Classic in December?

I would, but US$100? Bit pricey for me.

[DELTAprime]

It's $150 here, so not much more than the SNES Classic.

[1AZRAEL1]

Still. The games that have been announced so far, I already own the originals. So far it hasn't wowed me yet. I'm spending my money on Darksiders 3 instead for now.

[Paulbot]

Same, the games so far aren't "shut up and take my money" worthy - and I can still play my favourite PSX games on my PS3.

(It does has FFVII but I'm waiting for the remake)

I thought it was a joke when I first saw it on Twitter. I'd personally be more interested in a mini-64.

I love that they aren’t even trying to disguise the fact they’re blatantly copying Nintendo.

I never really got into the PS1 despite my little brother had one. I was a N64 kid.

Whos playing shadow of the tomb raider and/or spodman? Verdict?

Tomb raider looks good

[Ralph Wiggum]

Just finished Spiderman. It was...amazing :)

Looking at Tomb Raider next but not in a rush.

[Trent]

I’m in the middle of Spider-Man now. I’m really liking it.

[i_amtrunks]

I’m in the middle of Spider-Man now. I’m really liking it.

I noticed in my save data that I’m at 28% but all I’ve done so far is chase Shocker much like you did with firefly/whoever from Arkham Knight... I’ve been enjoying it far too much, just travelling the map and doing the Peter Parker stuff.

[Trent]

Yeah I’m just past the bombing, so not too far ahead of you. There are some intense af scenes in it. The helicopter chase was unreal and literally had me, in my super duper headphones, on the edge of my seat.

And I love the combat. It took me a while to get it but it I have the hang of the whole hit-hit-dodge thing now. It addresses one of the biggest problems I had with the Assassins Creed games in that no matter how many enemy’s you were facing at one time, you were never really at risk of dying. In this, I die a lot.

[Raptormesh]

Combat is way better than the AC series. It really opens up towards the end with all the different gadgets. It was immensely satisfying to clear camps with combos.

Completed the game last week, this is one of the best this year for sure. Would have platinumed it if not for EBGames's $66 trade in value. Will pick up the deluxe digital sometime.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Whos playing shadow of the tomb raider and/or spodman? Verdict?
Loving Spodman sooo much! ;) :D

Like others though, I haven't done much story wise but seem to be up to 30%.
Kind of liking the Otto Octavius progression, amongst other things. Many cool touches, like Jonah jameson commenting when you wear certain costumes, finish tasks etc.

Just unlocked fast travel and thought it was funny, but prefer swinging wherever. Currently though I'm suffering from too many Demon random attacks. I finish one and its like 4 minutes later there is another around the corner.

Also the in game tweets are awesome. Saw a couple from a Clark_G. Is Philip Coulson watching me?

[i_amtrunks]

Im annoyed because I can afford all these upgrades (not that I utilise gadgets much yet, only have the two and keep forgetting I have them) but I need research tokens and I think now that Otto has lost his lab I may be able to do more research tasks and get them...

I've died a ridiculous amount of times to the point I was thinking of dropping down to easy but then I found my groove with a side mission where you have to unjam some radio towers guarded by goons and then a mission to get rid of a cache of Fisk weapons and boom, no deaths since. Getting the combo flowing with aerials, spamming web shooters and ripping weapons from hands really gives you time to get the R1 and L1 throws in.

[Paulbot]

I’m nearly complete on Tomb Raider (93% finished story and a lot of subquests) and overall it’s been really good but a bit familiar to structure to Rise. It’s probably not as big an improvement over the last two games but if you liked those you should like this. I played it mostly with hard puzzles and explore settings - but even so it wasn’t that hard.

[Autocon]

I thought spodman might not be as good so didnt buy it. Now everyone is making me regret it. :p

Tomb raider and spiderrman will go on the to play list

I’m about halfway? And I agree, nothing too difficult, but a fun game overall

Are there any decent preorder bonus’ for Australia for Smash Bros for people that already own a Switch?

[DELTAprime]

Are there any decent preorder bonus’ for Australia for Smash Bros for people that already own a Switch?

I just had a quick look and there doesn't appear to be anything really. I guess EB Games thinks everyone will just buy it there without any incentives.

[SharkyMcShark]

Without having any idea what the situation is, if Smash Bros has no retailer exclusive preorder bonuses then it earns my love.

That garbage is a cancer on the industry.

[Trent]

Every other time I agree with you but other parts of the world have got some pretty decent bonus' and I was hoping at the very least we'd see a big arse poster.

Not that I'm super fussed.

[Akky82]

Just wondering if anyone has an idea of the best way to offload 2x $20 steam vouchers ? I got them from a promotion and at the time had ideas of what to use them for, but have since realised that I realisitically have no intention of playing any other games apart from the 2.5 I already play, and would rather just buy stuff in game in them (but they aren't on steam).

Just assume since they're vouchers and you scratch codes, and you can literally walk out of a store with them without activating, that people might be sceptical to buy them.

Gumtree, cash only on meet up at public place. They hand over cash first, then you give code for them to redeem right away on using phone app. If it works, everyone is happy. If it doesn't, then you give the money back. Still a bit risky though.

[DELTAprime]

The hard drive in my Xbox One X is practically dead. That makes the 4th Seagate hard drive I've had either die or be DOA in the last 12 months. Seems like it's a good idea to buy WD hard drives at the moment.

Both Seagate and WD go through bad periods, it's just a matter of picking the right one at the right time or you get a ton of dead hard drives.

[DELTAprime]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out tonight at midnight.

I'm not super hyped. I think it's going to be great. I think I'm going to have fun. But I'm not just not super hyped for it.

Am I the only one that's not super hyped for it?

[Ralph Wiggum]

I’m not hyped. I played the first one and thought it was ok. I got bored of it after a while and took a few months off before finishing it.

The amount of circle-jerk over the game is a bit much imo.

[SharkyMcShark]

Not hyped for RDR2, but then I'm a PC guy.

There are rumours doing the rounds that Rockstar/Take Two will do with RDR2 what they do with the GTA series - pretend that it's not coming out for PC for about 18 months and then launch it at full price. If that's the case I'm not touching it - if Rockstar don't respect my platform of choice they're not getting my money.

In other news, I keep forgetting that a) Hitman 2 (or Hitman 7 as it really is) is coming out in 2 weeks, and b) that it's a full game at launch, not episodic like the previous entry. I will probably grab it.

[Autocon]

Saw an ad for rdr2 on tv tonight. Thought oh thats out now, so not hyped. Didnt play rdr1. Yet to play tomb raider, spodman and whatever that other game is.

Got a code for alien isolation. D/l that once nbn is active. Still prefer my physical copies.

[Caffinetron]

Unlike you all, I can't wait to finally leave work this afternoon and pick it up. What I am not hyped for is that I won't get to play it till tomorrow because of the massive install and probably hugemungous update that will need to be done before saddling up my horse.

I have resorted myself to being ok with never playing a game on day one because of installs and updates. I took the day off when "The Division" came out, let me clarify. I needed a day off anyway so I took it off, the bonus was that "The Division" was being released on that day. Got to JB at 9am for opening took it straight home and didn't actually get to play it till 2pm. At least I got the housework done while I was waiting.

[i_amtrunks]

100gb on disc and who knows how big the day one patch is.

Maybe the developers do it so they can sell it digital only in a few years where it preloads 2-3 days before release and then is actually ready to play... they’ll charge an extra $20 for the privilege though!

There's no day one patch AFIK. RDR2 is the first game to do two install disk in the one case this generation which up until now both Sony and Microsoft have claimed is impossible. The download size on Xbox One X was around 88gb which then expands out to over 100gb when you first start the game which is another first as compression of games is not normal anymore thanks to digital delivery being more 1:1.

I played a couple of hours last night and stopped after getting to the first town. It's amazing in it's detail, but I'm certainly still not entirely sold on it.

[Autocon]

What peeves me is now there are 3 dlc for spiderman and i know there will be a rerealse down the track with all added dlc content for the game at the same price.

Will wait for Xmas sales wooo!

[Ralph Wiggum]

It comes down to patience vs pockets. I got the DLC pass as I got no other couch game to play right now.

[DELTAprime]

Yeah well I really want to play Spider-man, but I'm not going to play it until I get a HDR monitor so I have the luxury of waiting for a better deal.

I got the digital version of Horizon ZD for like $40ish with all the DLC included just a year or so after release. Sony isn't afraid to heavily discount their critics darling games. I wish the likes of Activision would learn from that instead of still charging like $50 for a decade old Call of Duty game I'd like to download so I can get rid of the disk.

[DELTAprime]

Anyone else think Blizzard has lost it's magic touch with their big new game announcement at Blizzcon being a reskinned Chinese MMO for Android and iPhone?

[Ralph Wiggum]

I never placed Blizzard on that high of a pedestal truth be told. They’re the masters of monetising their gaming franchises and want people’s money like any other business. We only don’t fully hate on them like EA (bad!)because their games are actually good and they make awesome cinematics.

Blizzard’s response however is a classic example of How not to deal with negative consumer feedback 101.

I kinda wish the Diablo franchise was done and dusted, having played and loved all three. How many times can they keep bringing back Diablo only to have his ass beaten back into hell by a group of plebs?

[Trent]

Anyone else think Blizzard has lost it's magic touch with their big new game announcement at Blizzcon being a reskinned Chinese MMO for Android and iPhone?

I tend to agree with this Twitter thread (https://twitter.com/gaohmee/status/1059163196324343808?s=21). Why is reskin a dirty word? If it's a cool game, who cares? As long as no wrong was done in the making of, I'm fine with it.

[SharkyMcShark]

Hitman 2 is a fun game and you should play it.

I bought the Gold Edition so I've been enjoying the early access period over the weekend. For the standard fee of entry you get 6 locations, 5 of which are massive sprawling environments. The other serves as a tutorial level but there's enough meat on the bones of it that I'm sure they'll release some variants of it down the line.

To get from one side of the game to the other once it took me about 7-8 hours. That was a slightly save scummy, proper play through where I didn't kill non-targets, except for one time once in the last mission where I went a bit nuts with a silenced Uzi in a stairwell because it was getting deep into Sunday afternoon and I had to go to the gym.

That's just once through, though. Even excluding just outright shooting a target in the head from your pick of distance and angle, or bludgeoning them or poisoning their food there are at least a solid dozen ways to finish each mission. Ive impersonated barbers, misdirected a combat drone prototype, sabotaged a race car, posed as a physician, delivered poorly written love notes, and lured a man into the jungle to pick flowers. There's enough depth to each mission to warrant a few playthroughs.

Owners of Hitman 2016 get all of that games levels in the new game, all slightly tweaked to account for new gameplay mechanics. The first of Hitman 2's live events starts next week - a mission you've got 10 days to finish in which you have to kill literal Sean Been. There's a competitive multiplayer mode, you can design your own hits - there's a lot to do.

Get it, it's fun.

[DELTAprime]

I find Hitman a little too frustrating cause I am the type of person that must complete each level PERFECTLY. But that's a me issue and everything I've seen on the game says it's great. DF did an analysis of the tech used and it looks amazing in it's tech especially in regards to its use of reflections.

I just wish certain reviewers would stop calling the cars in the Miami level Formula 1 cars. They are clearly fictionalised Le Mans Prototypes, not F1 cars.

[SharkyMcShark]

I find Hitman a little too frustrating cause I am the type of person that must complete each level PERFECTLY. But that's a me issue and everything I've seen on the game says it's great.

I know what you mean.

My only complaint about the new games (This and the 2016 game) are that it makes you feel like a bit of a loser if you just stealth your way in, shoot the target and hide the body in a cupboard. You're made to feel as if you've done things the least imaginative way possible, which I suppose as compared to disguising yourself as a flamingo to lure the target into a blackmail scam is probably true.

On the off chance any of you guys want to play it I thought I'd mention that Fallout 76 is only $50 on Amazon AU and the game hasn't even been released yet. No point it paying the MSRP of $100.

https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07H97S6RX?pf_rd_p=d141dacb-9db5-4fbf-9058-0b6ff035aa37&pf_rd_r=S25179WZH5YXNEQ39K06&th=1

[Autocon]

So i wont be getting fallout 76. It must be played online. Started tomb raider. Eb will be having a sale on black friday so hopefully get some bargins on new games.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I’ve really enjoyed Fallout (3, NV, 4) but haven’t been inspired to get 76. I like to experience a good story in the few hours of gaming time I have each week and so what is sounding like a big empty lonely MP experience isn’t what I’m looking for.

Haven’t said that I’ve just finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It’s a good game, which follows the same formula as the previous games. This is not necessarily a bad thing but the series risks stagnating if they don’t up the ante.

[Paulbot]

Big W will have God of War on special next week apparently.

I liked Tomb Raider but there was a bit of sameness to it (not as big an improvement over the last game, compared to Rise).

I'm currently close to the end of Spider-Man and while it's fun, and the webslinging is absolutely fantastic, it does otherwise feel like I'm playing a new Arkham City game. Which is also not a bad thing, I got a 100% completion on Arkham Knight earlier this year, but I didn't expect going it for it to be so similar in structure and gameplay. I have occasionally pressed Batman move commands.

[Ralph Wiggum]

There’s a sneak peak of the catalogue floating around:

God of War $29
Spiderman $39
Black Ops 4 $65
Shadow of the Tomb Raider $25
Fifa19 $35

Pokemon Lets Go Eevee is pretty and simple fun. It's not ever going to be my favourite game but it's a well made and beautiful game with plenty of charm.

The fact that my not quite three year old can catch pokemon with me makes it even better.

Microsoft's are here: https://majornelson.com/2018/11/14/black-friday-starts-today-for-xbox-live-gold-members/

Nobody else seems to have their up yet. I'm really waiting on Steams sale to start so I can figure out how much I have left for the consoles.

Also of note. I got this email from Steam.


Hello DELTAprime,
Steam will soon be priced in Australian Dollars!

If your Steam wallet has any money in it on November 21st, 2018, your U.S. Dollar balance will be converted to AUD, at a conversion rate dictated by market value at the time of conversion.

To view your account balance, simply log into your Steam client or the Steam website at http://www.steampowered.com. Once you have logged in, you will see your balance in the upper-right corner next to your account name.

I hope this isn't an excuse to jack up the price for Australian buyers any more than some publishers have already been doing.

[Autocon]

Which publishers?

[DELTAprime]

Which publishers?

Haven't you noticed we have been getting over charged by some publishers?

The standard price for a game in USD is $60, Ubisoft are charging $70 for the standard version of the games. They are not the only ones but are the biggest offender.

If Steam does a straight conversion of the USD price to AUD with no funny business that changes with the conversion rate then this change won't be a big deal and might actually save me money cause of the Commonwealth Banks international transaction fee. But if they are going to jack up the price to $100 AUD or more for new releases then I won't be happy.

[philby]

Call of duty was a good example not too long ago. In the American steam store it was $50 US. In the Australian steam store it was $89 US. The exact same thing. Just nearly double price for Australian customers because why not.
It's mostly the publisher who sets the prices not Steam itself I'm fairly sure though. Still super annoying and arrogant though.

[DELTAprime]

After looking at the Big W Black Friday catalogue for myself I found that PS VR is going to cost $259 in the sale. At that price plus staff discount I'm going to grab one. $259 is much more palatable than what you have to pay for a Rift or Vive.

[Autocon]

Playing through Shadow .. T.R. It doesnt feel polished. Animations disappear in cut scenes(as in whole characters not in the scene), mouth movement not in sync, plants etc in the way when trying to shoot, scenes/backgrounds disappear when against the walls, fish and people disappear or up in the air. Its like they knew there would be patches so didnt bother to polish it or pressured by the publisher to finish on time. Im finding the first two games better. Im at the hidden city. Not sure it will improve.

So did you get the EB Games Black Friday bundle with Skyrim VR included for $299? That's still a good deal if you wanted Skyrim VR. The one Big W has is the PS VR hardware bundle (PS VR hardware plus Worlds) but Big W isn't including any extra games beyond Worlds.

For me it will only cost $233 from Big W so that's the best deal for me.

Looks like the Steam Australian dollar conversion has come into effect. I’m still trying to see what difference it has made, but I’m not exactly wowed by lower prices or anything.

[DELTAprime]

I was able to get my PS VR and a RIG 400 headset at Big W today for the Black Friday sale price. So it seems some Black Friday deals are already active in the system.

As for Steam. Valve said in a message to publishers that it believes it's best to price games for Australian customers at the same price as US customers because they have data that shows games priced at parity in Australia to the US price sell at least 20% more units than price gouging games.

Too bad the only developer on my Steam wishlist that seems to have taken that advice is Colossal Order who make Cities Skylines. The DLC I have on my wishlist for Cities Skylines is the only item that isn't price gouged now.

[snaketales]

Found Mass Effect on PS3 yesterday... only $5 (in a '3 for $15' deal)
I've done the trilogy on PC, and have Mass Effect 2 and 3 for the PS3... looking forward to making different choices in the game now. Renegade all the way!

[Autocon]

Scored $49 controller and odyssey for $55. Go to jb hifi and odyssey is $49! Could have saved $6!

[DELTAprime]

I went overboard with my Black Friday gaming purchases. I got...

Cities Skylines Natural Disasters expansion. (Steam)
The Sims 4 Pets and Seasons expansions. (Origin)
All DLC for the 2012 Need For Speed Most Wanted. (Origin)
Replaced my physical copy of Mario Odyssey with a digital copy. (Switch)
Dead Cells (Xbox One X)
PS VR (PS4 Pro)
Tetris Effect (PS4 Pro)
Astro Bot (PS4 Pro)
Star Trek Bridge Crew (PS4 Pro)
A PS VR case
Plantronics RIG 400 gaming headset with Dolby Atmos.

I'm still debating if I should buy Move controllers for the PS VR before the Black Friday sales finish. Nothing I own requires them, but there are some games that require Move controllers so I couldn't play them currently.

Just picked up my copy of Darksiders 3 - of course I can't play it until tomorrow damn US time zones, but it came with multiple discs AND printed instructions.

What is this? 2008?

[1AZRAEL1]

Wonder why you can't play it. I played mine today. And the extra disc I got was the soundtrack.

[prjkt]

PC Version - locked to US release date& time with Steam

my comment was mainly in disbelief at getting the whole game across multiple discs - nowadays you're lucky to get a single disc with the rest downloaded - most games are just a serial number and a ~50gb d/l

[Autocon]

What is darksiders 3? The whole game on disc has me onterested. Do you need to be online to play it?

[prjkt]

single player game, sequel to the Darksiders 1&2 games - #1 was pretty linear, #2 was likened to a dark version of the Zelda series - pretty open world, but you need to get certain equipment to progress past certain areas of the world

It's on 3 DVDs for PC, but for PS4/XBox with their Blu-Ray capability, I'd say the whole game'd fit on a single disc.

PC version does require Steam activation, but can probably be played offline

[1AZRAEL1]

Ah PC version. Yea that’d do it. I grabbed the PS4 version.

This one is good so far, but either I’m crap or the enemies early on are supercharged even on the seconds easiest setting. I keep dying and it’s frustrating. Told my mate, he then called it Dark Soul-Siders hahaha. I just need to persevere, change my tactics. It seems to have gone back to the way Darksiders 1, makes a bit of sense because it is set on Earth. Love the story. Hope it does well enough to warrant the next one being done.

[DELTAprime]

There are new Nvidia drivers out for Darksiders 3. Given how little hype there was for the game Nvidia drivers specifically for the game are not what I was expecting to see.

RDR2 is on two disk. You have everything you need to play the game without patching. However I really suggest you patch games. The code on the disk always has issues these days. The standard MO of the games industry is ship it and then fix the bugs in a patch. Also you are missing out on additional content for many games (and not all of the content is paid for, some is free)

Thinking about it, it was Fallout 76 not Red Dead he had issues with. Red Dead should be fine, but as Delta said, you should download the updates, sometimes they are needed to keep the game running smoothly or additional content.

Where can I go to get Amiibos at a physical store that is not EB Games? I know we haven't had any new Amiibos come in at Big W for a while now. Our local Target is closing down so no chance there and Kmart doesn't sell games anymore.

[SharkyMcShark]

Apparently the immediate post-release of Just Cause 4 is a big of a mess. The game shipped with some kind of crippling graphics bug that makes the game look like a last gen title.

I'm assuming it can be patched because none of the massive abundance of YouTube footage of the game looks like that, and I'm excluding the possibility of some Ubisoft style bullshit artistry simply because they marketed the game by giving a whole bunch of YouTubers early access, and all of their dozens of videos looked fine.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I'm super keen for JC4, but that has me concerned. They seem to do some sicky things at times. The online challenge board on JC3 used to about me so much that I would take my PS4 offline when playing the game.

Personally, I'll be sticking to dragging out my PS3 if I want to play an old PS1 game. Frankly, it sucks that the PS3 is still the best option to play PS1 games without going down the piracy rabbit hole.

[kurdt_the_goat]

I prefer to just play them on a real PS1 for the full nostalgia hit. Apart from all the issues, I don't think the value is there for the classic. Most of the games on it can be found for a couple of bucks. An original machine itself cost me $10!

I played it a little last week when it first came out. I really need a good beginners guide video to figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong to be getting my ass handed to me by the story mode.

[snaketales]

I'm going through a second playthrough on Mass Effect. The first was on PC and I played pretty much all paragon choices and saved Wrex on Virmire.
This second one is on PS3 and I'm playing renegade, and was looking forward to seeing Wrex get taken down. During the dialogue I chose all renegade options - and Wrex backed down! Even when I'm trying to I can't kill him!

I created a save point just beforehand, so went back and tried some variations to get the death. Man, krogans take a lot of shots before going down.

[SharkyMcShark]

Is Mass Effect worth getting into now? I'm aware the first one is pushing 15 years old.

[Autocon]

Playing through spiderman. So far god of war is better. Cant get the fighting mechanics down yet. Im only at the museum. Feels a lot like batman.

[DELTAprime]

Is Mass Effect worth getting into now? I'm aware the first one is pushing 15 years old.

The first three Mass Effect games are amazing, even the DLC is worth playing (and almost essential) as it adds to the story greatly.

My only gripes are that I found you need to do at least two playthroughs of the first game to get the best ending possible (have all possible crew members make it through to the next game). Then the Suicide Mission in ME2 requires a guide not to have your entire team wiped out. They fixed those gripes in ME3.

Due to engine limitations the 3 games have some major performance problems on the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PS3, but run smoother on Xbox One X. PC is a bad way to play them as there is no controller support on the PC versions and the game is really meant to be played on controller.

That said though you really should play the first 3. Just remember to never play MEA or it will destroy your good feelings from playing the first 3.

[Bato]

Heeeeeh.

Let's agree to disagree on Andromeda. It's a pretty good ME game who doesn't deserve the hate IMHO. The worst part about it is that you can see all the little details that prevents it from being a *great* ME game.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Is Mass Effect worth getting into now? I'm aware the first one is pushing 15 years old.

YES! 6 playthroughs of the ME trilogy with all classes. Loved it each time. The story and character interactions never get old. The graphics of ME1 are the most dated. If you play on PC there are some mods which can improve the textures. Each game is different in its own way - ME1 feels slower, but richer in story. ME2 improves on combat and character building. ME3 (despite the hate) is a delightful action romp.

Gotta disagree with Delta about playing on PC, as I played through the series on PC. Never had an issue with KB + M. Plus the mod scene adds to the longevity of the series.

On my second playthrough of Andromeda right now. It’s not perfect by any means but not quite the abortion people make it out to be. Andromeda shows there was a lack of direction and poor project management. It tries to pick out all the “good stuff” from the original trilogy but ends up being a mish mash of concepts. I’d wait to see if you like the original trilogy first before trying Andromeda.

[SharkyMcShark]

Thanks for the ME feedback guys.

Apparently I already own Mass Effect 1 and 2 on PC so installed ME1. I realised that it doesn't by standard support 1080p. If there's a mod scene for the game I'm assuming it will be an easy fix once I get around to it.

I've been playing some indie games recently. Dead Cells, Ashen, Below and Moonlighter.

I feel Dead Cells really deserves the accolades it's getting in GOTY awards. It's fun and every single run I feel like I'm making progress.

Ashen was just released the other week. It's free on Xbox Game Pass which is how I'm playing it, but it's well worth the $60 it cost outside of Game Pass even for someone like me that hates Dark Souls. It's a Dark Souls like game, but the lighter atmosphere, more welcoming visuals, and well scripted/acted interactions make it much more bearable for me and I'm really enjoying it.

Moonlighter was released earlier this year. You play as shopkeeper by day and dungeon adventurer by night. The game would be GOTY worthy if the movement and combat mechanics felt better, but it's not a bad game.

And finally, Below. I have been looking forward to this game for years and I'm very disappointed. They showed off lots of cool looking stuff in the trailers, but the actual game is impenetrable. About 2 hours in I gave up. Glad it's free in Game Pass cause it's not worth paying for.

[1AZRAEL1]

Darksiders 3. Played and finished, on my second playthrough now. The game was brutally hard, some likened it to Dark SoulSiders lol. That is until they did an update that made it slightly easier. The biggest frustration before was trying to heal yourself and waiting for the 3 or 4s animation to happen, whilst you get hit and die. My controller took a beating I admit. But they've made an update where it's almost instant.

So, whilst gameplay is not as good as Darksiders 2, this game continues to bring an awesome story to the table, one I hope to see continued for a 4th and 5th game. A story that flr me is as good, if not better, than the Legacy Of Kain series.

[ReximusPrimal]

Hmm that's weird, are you playing on steam or origin? You might have to open a launcher to adjust resolution and settings but I could have sworn you don't need a mod to get 1080p

[1AZRAEL1]

Finally played Wipeout VR. I'm actually alot better at the racing than normal version. I need to play around with the VR settings but is quite cool.

Also played the Xwing mission for Battlefront, whilst short-lived mission, is quite cool. If they did a full-blown VR game, I'd be all over it. Though I dispise EA, I would want a Star Wars VR game.

I just finished listening to Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Deliberations for 2018. As usual, it's more like a domestic disturbance than a civil conversation. Also as usual, after listening to it I want to stab them all in the neck.

I've been smashing away at Uruk's in definitive edition Shadow of War. Its quite a lot of fun, but I've found myself being way too calculating in this one compared to the first.

I've certainly died a lot less in the same amount of time, as I've been avoiding jumping into the middle of a bunch to get the leader. It's kind of interesting, but at the same time, I haven't quite had the terror Uruk that I had from the first game yet.

I got told off by the better half for swearing at the game, but it was more swearing at me as I killed the wrong guy in a fight were two were after me, one I wanted to keep. Then another dude rocked up outta nowhere complementing my newly upgradable knife. No I've gotta hunt down the cool two fire sword dude who left me because I killed his blood brother (accidentally too, he burned too quickly) and either see if he is going to stay Iron Wiled (and un-attainable = death) of if I can break him and get him back.

He was very shiny!:D

The only game I’ve compared HDR vs non HDR was Horizon Zero Dawn. But I also went from HD to 4K so it was a huge step up and I’m sure the resolution increase was a large part of it, but damn HDR made that game so much more impressive to look at. Especially the mountain ranges as the sun was rising and setting behind them. All the landscapes became super interesting.

[Paulbot]

Played the 30 minute “one shot” demo of the Resident Evil 2 remake and it looks good. Very much what I remember of playing the first game so long ago, but with modern gameplay style. And still not enough bullets for my liking.

I've never seen it first hand myself but my friend insists that hitman 2 with HDR on is amazing,

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Got my hands on Monsterboy and the Cursed Kingdom and I gotta say it's pretty good. Aside from the occasional patience testing section.

It starts off being pretty cruisy and then the boss fights juts chuck a heap of bad guys at you in a small space and it's just nuts! Completely different to what you've been up to before.

Then I got changed into a pig. It had a little section to get used to the pig and that was well designed.

Then a joining section to the next dungeon. I'm being bombed by a flying cloud (very Wonderboy) and firebreathing flowers. Ok, tricky but doable. I can't seem to attack the cloud yet and risking a jump off a spring to get him on my 3 hearts is pushing my luck.
Next section, I'm being chased by a black cloud that drops flames that travel along the ground towards you at high speed. Depending on how you go, you could have 2 of these following you along. Still occasionally dealing with enemies hidden behind foreground graphics, fire ball spitting flowers as well. Trickier, but do-able.

Oh, hit by a cloud flame. Now my controls are reversed! For quite a long time.:confused:

It just seems to ramp up the difficulty to a frustrating amount and then it'll drop off.
Next section, bits of poison, a sudden increase in my types of magic ( could've used the lightening one for them clouds earlier) and then a nother swamped by enemies boss fight.

I don't quite get it, it doesn't smoothly flow as well as it should.

Although graphics are great, sound is good, atmosphere good and feels good. It'd be a top game if the difficulty didn't yo-yo like it does.

As it is, it's a flawed top game (gameplay time, maybe about 2 hours) I just got the snake form.

[DELTAprime]

^I've heard great things about both the new Monsterboy game and the one that was released last year that's a remake of one of the Master System games. It's great to have Monsterboy/Wonderboy back and they are totally on my wishlist for the next big games sale.

I’m debating AC7. The issue I have is that I’m not buying a flight controller. If I get it, it’ll be played on my PS4 with the DS4 and I’m not sure if that will do the game justice.

[1AZRAEL1]

I am keen on AC7. Use my PS VR for the missions that are built for it. After playing Wipeout VR and Xwing VR, more VR sim games the better.

[DELTAprime]

AC7 is on my Steam wishlist. Given that it is a very basic PC port I'll be interested to see if like Nier Automata there are a bunch of fan mods released to make the game look better on high-end systems.

Also Trent you know you don't need to buy a flight stick for it. Just use an Xbox One controller if you want plug and play or if you're happy to do a little hackerie stuff connect your DS4.

I’m debating AC7. The issue I have is that I’m not buying a flight controller. If I get it, it’ll be played on my PS4 with the DS4 and I’m not sure if that will do the game justice.

This has become an academic argument because it doesn't support HOTAS controllers at launch on PC, aside from the AC7 branded hotas.

I'm holding off on buying it due to this a few other issues (can't rebind keys, no resolutions above 4K).

I don't watch much twitch but I don't think its as good. You right click on a friend playing a game and there's an option to Watch Game.

I was keen for Apex Legends when I found out about it but quickly lost interest when I read that there were no Titans and no wallrunning. They're that franchises unique selling point.

[DELTAprime]

If I wasn't busy watching motorsport at the moment I'd probably be playing Apex Legends. Sounds like it's a really cool map with tons of interesting shit going on.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I'm not particularly fussed with Apex Legends, I'm waiting for Division 2 for my next multiplayer fix.

In the meantime I've been playing Transformers Devastation to fill some time and I'm not enjoying it. Nostalgia aside, it just feels like a bland shooter / melee game. Nothing really there to hook me in.

[DELTAprime]

Anyone else looking forward to stuff from today's Nintendo Direct? I'll be buying Mario Maker 2 and Link's Awakening.

[kurdt_the_goat]

I liked it just for how butthurt i knew most of the internet would be from Link's Awakening's graphics! Zelda man, it cannot catch a break when it comes to visuals.

I don't have a Switch yet but if I did, i'd want Links Awakening. The original is one of the best games ever. Mario Maker 2 looks pretty well expanded from the original. They sure took the complaint about no slopes to heart!

Although there was some good stuff it's still not enough for me to pick up a Switch. I still feel like I could just play the Wii U versions of these games for my fix if i wanted to. I really wanted Metroid this year and hoped for the return of some racing games like F-Zero or Wave Race.

I will be picking up the Snake and Simon Amiibo though!

[i_amtrunks]

More Amiibo is good for me! The Ivysaur in particular looks gorgeous.

Link's Awakening for sure and the Yoshi game will both be bought day one.

If you liked Far Cry 5, you’ll like this one as well. The map isn’t just copied and pasted, the rpg mechanics aren’t crazy in-depth, you pretty much just loot/find parts and components instead of cash to build weapons, vechicles as well as to upgrade your homebase (which itself is a neat feature). I’m about 5 hours in and am having a blast, looks gorgeous in 4k HDR as well.

I reckon it’s worth the $46 Jb are asking for it :)

Here's hoping it is a little more challenging than Sun and Moon, not asking for insane difficulty, I'd t like more trainers to have more than 1 or 2 pokemon in their teams and to mix up the trainer typings a bit more.

Far cry at $46 was a day one price so it was more expensive. Will leave till sale. I picked up rdr2 for $59, thought it was an ok price for it, hope there is more than $59 worth of game involved.

Bought Doom VFR the other day. Had a quick go of it. Quite a steep learning curve, as the player movement is not your usual FPS. It's like a look and teleport movement, as well as quick dodge with the d-pad. For a fast paced FPS lile Doom, it's not easy. That was with using a normal controller. I have 2 wands to try it out using those, and Hursty has picked me up a cheap AIM controller too. VR is fun.

Also grabbed a copy of Astro Bot Rescue missions. Played the single level on the VR game disc and was quite fun. So look forward to playing a full game.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Got my hands on Just cause 4, nice and cheap. Good thing too, becuase it looks pretty darn rough. Weird textures on beards, flat water that my boat refuses to splash on. This game looks totally rushed out the door.

So far the gameplay looks kind of fun with plety of options with your grapple and stuff. One problem that I've been suffering though is that the bad guys can be hard to see sometimes. They are black costumed dudes and often blend in with the background. The same for ammo and weapons.

Hopefully they get their act together and patch this up, but the fact of the matter it shouldn't be like this in the first place. I'll be giving Squeenix games a wider berth in the future.

So Google is expected to unveil the finished version of their game streaming service this week. I'm wondering how many people here have good enough internet that they think they would be able to stream a game instead of playing it locally on a PC or console?

So the idea is you have a super powerful console in Google's nearest datacentre.

Premature celebration;


Any job postings for Lucasfilm Games is due to Disney wanting to make sure their game scene is staffed appropriately for any Lucasfilm properties.
Disney as a whole is still focused on third-party licensed development and are still very committed in working with EA.

https://ign.com/articles/2019/03/20/disney-may-be-reviving-lucasfilm-games

I can’t see Lucasarts being restarted as a fully fledged development studio without a significant amount of cash, even with Disney’s deep coffers. Much cheaper to outsource nowadays. Prior to the acquisition by Thanos Disney, Lucasarts had been outsourcing their games for a long time.

[SharkyMcShark]

To be fair, games take a long time to make, if you're committing to doing the job properly. The current exclusivity deal runs out in 2023. They could be commencing development behind the scenes in the meantime so that they can release something shortly after the rights are released.

(Instead of doing what EA did which was getting the rights and not releasing anything for 30 months).

I was looking forward to that Amy Henning Star Wars game. A story-heavy singleplayer Star Wars game is just what I wanted. Then EA fired almost everyone working on it because it was a single player project and they wanted multiplayer and loot boxes before finally killing the game completely.

If Lucasfilm Games makes a decent story-heavy singleplayer Star Wars game I'll be really happy, even if I have to wait another 4 years for it.

Maybe I should go play some KOTOR 1 and 2 since they are on Xbox One X backwards compatibility running in 4K.

Unless Google is going to fix Australia's internet so that everyone has super fast stable internet there will always be a place for game consoles here at least.
Heck even if they did I for one wouldn't get a Stadia, I'm not a fan of renting/pay per month games and buying products that are streamed only is basically the same thing in my opinion.

[1AZRAEL1]

I despise most online gaming as it is, so I won't be getting that. I want split screen multiplayer again like the good old days. Rumours are Halo will be going back to that which would be great.

The internet speeds we have are rubbish. It won't kill consoles.

EB Games parent company Gamestop made a $673 million loss this financial year. I hope we don't see EB Games stores closing because that would leave me without a store locally to preorder my consoles from as I don't have a JB Hifi.

https://www.techspot.com/news/79486-gamestop-reports-record-losses-2018.html

[1AZRAEL1]

I would hope not. If EB sales here are still really good, they wouldn't see them closing them up.

[SharkyMcShark]

I think they'll be substantially gone within 5 years.

From a business perspective they're in a really odd and precarious position.

A substantial amount of their revenue is from second hand console games. Publishers are always looking for ways to divert consumers away from second hand games and consoles, and are increasingly favouring the model that PC games have now where a game digitally sold and tied to a specific online account (preventing a second hand sale).

Consoles themselves, however, are physical goods and need a storefront presence. All of this has led to a war of attrition between EB/Gamestop and the games industry where on the one hand the industry still relies on storefronts to sell the consoles on which their games are played, but on the other hand is trying to do everything to undercut one of the main sources of profit of the storefronts.

As far as blocking second hand sales goes, first publishers tried all those pack in codes for in game content. The content you'd unlock with the codes would tie to your account, not to the copy of the game itself, and the codes weren't reusable. Then publishers decided that they'd push that model to pack an "ONLINE PASS" with their games. The Online Pass was usually just the game's usual online mode, but again tied to a one time use code that players had to purchase if it wasn't packed into the box. If you bought a second hand copy of FIFA and wanted to play online you'd need to fork $20 over to EA. Now more and more console games are just being sold digitally.

[DELTAprime]

I wonder how Zing is going for them? My local EB store was changed into an EB/Zing store a couple of years back. The Zing section started as a single row of shelves at the front of the store. Now it's at least a third of what is a rather large EB store. The EB/Zing store up in Rockhampton is over 50% Zing.

This doesn't necessarily mean Zing is making money for them, but it would appear to be doing better than game sales.

If my local EB turned into a Zing store with an EB section I'd be fine with that.

Another quarter, another disastrous return for GameStop (owners of EB Games).

https://venturebeat.com/2019/06/05/gamestops-future-is-grim-as-its-stock-price-crumbles/

Their lifeline is to try and hang on until the next generation of consoles launch, because a lot of their revenue comes from hardware sales, through direct purchase and the foot traffic it generates (because you can't download a new console digitally so you have to physically go to the store, unlike games).

They'll die soon. Even leaving aside digital releases, their boxed games are more expensive than JB HiFi/Target/Big W, which is incredibly problematic for them as at least one of those (and sometimes all three) usually exist within the same shopping complex.

I heard that Ninty were allowing you to play some SNES/NES games if you had an online sunbscription, which brought up a little thought:

You can download and play them as long as you have a subscription, so if you cancel it you lose access. Kind of essentially renting the games, as you aren't buying them outright. Here in Japan, it's against the law to rent out games, ironically due to Nintendo pushing very due to piracy back in the 80s.

It's not a rental, it's a subscription.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

It's not a rental, it's a subscription.

The model is more of a rental model though. You are renting the online service and the games. If you stop paying for the online service, then you lose access to the games. From my quick googling:

a subscription is usually for something tangible while renting is for the use of an object or service for a limited time. ...Taken from here (https://office-watch.com/2013/subscription-vs-rental/#targetText=The%20key%20difference%20is%20the,serv ice%20for%20a%20limited%20time.&targetText=Microsoft%20will%20keep%20calling%20it, that's%20what%20it%20really%20is.).

Usually we associate a subscription with magazines and stuff, so in the end you end up with something. Even if you stop your subscription, you have something in hand.

Renting however does not leave you with anything. Pedantic I know, but it bothers me (only enough to post random thoughts on the web though).

Demo for Final Fantasy 7 is good. Not used to the new fighting style, but I'm sure I will in time.

Finished Darksiders Genesis, love the story so was a must. Was fun. Haven't done some of the extra stuff, too frustrating to complete some things. But the game was fun and music was great too.

Now waiting for Doom in a couple of weeks. Gonna be fun.

Yeah me too. Found it a little confusing in the battles, but I suspect with a bit of practice it'll be ok. I do like the dynamic look to everything. I also like the option of changing the difficulty. When I played the PS1 as a younger dude, I gave up in the final crater making my way towards Sephi because every pleb random encounter would almost wipe my team out. I figured I needed to grind some more, but didn't want to, so gave up. So, the adjusting difficulty things appeals to my time-savingness and patience or lack thereof at times.

I've since moved from a definite no, to a possible maybe on buying the game. Its logical, but I was a little frustrated that Cloud couldn't slap some enemies with his sword. But then later on, he's suddenly jumping up and doing air combos on enemies he couldn't hit before? Would like to see more of what's on offer.

I've been informed that this one is only in Midgar right? Does that mean episode 2 will be the rest of the world? Do we know how many eps there is going to be? IIRC, Midgar in the original wasn't massive. I am curious as to how they expect to pad it out.

It has been a VERY long time since I played the original.

I got all the way until the end crater too, and sat there level grinding at the crater because it was the best place to gain exp. Once I went too far and ended up taking on Sephi, got through a few of his battles, got annihilated on one and never tried again. My brother went ahead at some point without me and finished it on me. So I too never finished it lol. If you never got Knights Of The Round summon, made it harder. Grinding to get that was a nightmare too, having to breed chocobos. I wonder how hard the Weapons will be, I remember Ruby Weapon being difficult.

I too wasn't gonna buy the game, but now I think I will. Missed the boat for any of the special edition ones. Remembering to change between characters and using them at different times instead of just using Cloud will take time to get the hang of. I've played the demo a few times and gets easier to figure stuff out.

I think yea it's episodic. Not sure how yet though. If they've padded out Midgar, gonna make one helluva huge game, as if the original wasn't already.

I dont know where i got stuck on ff7. I had the orange fox dude. I was in a building running then alarms, i ventured outside and became stuck fighting a big black monster i could not defeat. I couldnt go back the way i came so gave up.

[Trent]

I played the demo and while it’s ok, I don’t have the time or patience to put into finishing it so won’t bother.

[1AZRAEL1]

Started playing Doom Eternal today. Alot harder than I expected. But fun. Lots more things to do, alot of back story, overall fun for the couple of hours I did of it.

I'm actually finding it somewhat draining to play Doom Eternal. The fights can be rather frantic and hard, but totally fun.

Got around to finishing the Blade of Galadriel DLC for Shadow of War(Dor). kind of enjoyed it as a freebie. Not too sure how I'd feel if I had to pay for it. Since the nemesis system and domination gameplay aspect is downplayed and the main story involves doing quests to make allies with orcs the story is over pretty quickly.

Elatriel plays differently enough to Talion to provide enough amusement. I quite like the light aspect she had, since she doesn't have the arse kickerynes of talion. However with appropriate leveling, items and skills you can still take stuff out quite effectively.

What was cool was the way you had to take out some of the castles. Instead of assaulting it with a force, there were some stealthy mission, like sabotaging bits, poisoning others and trying to assassinate another. Would have been cool to have those options available in the main game as well I think.

Some bits that did urk (geddit) me were thing like the legendary Uruks needed to be killed a particular way. They were invulnerable to almost everything except for one type of attack, so you ended up doing the same thing over and over.

Plus being beaten by a captain, meant less need for revenge to me for some reason.

Nevertheless, i still enjoyed it

Been playing some FF7 remake. The combat seems a lil hectic but sure Ill get on top of it. Im in the town now and remember none of this from the original game.

There's alot of new and expanded stuff. You're right, the combat is hectic, but yea you'll get used to it over time

I really really want to like the Shadows series. I own both of them, but I just bounce off them every time I try to get into them. I feel like there are too many systems and mechanics bouncing off eachother that I very quickly feel like I have no idea what is going on or what I should be doing.

It doesn't help that the last time I tried to dive in I'd just finished watching the extended LOTR trilogy and then immediately got the flu and spent days having fever dreams about orcs. I never want to see an orc ever again.

ha ha ha! I found it interesting in that after playing Shadow of War, I went back to read LOTR and found it much better the second time. The first time I read it was after the last I saw the last movie in the cinema. I wonder if i enjoyed it more because I am older, or because of the Mordor games.

I always find they take some time to get going and its best to plow through a reasonable bit of story mode before experimenting with the rest. When I started 2, I spent a long time trying to level up to unlock the dominate skill again, but realised I had t progress the story. lol. I've found most of my amusement from the random orcs, either hunting down a cool looking guy, or someone with a funny personality.
I saw a video of a dude doing the online fortress attacks and he came across a fortress full of Zombie orcs. So that inspired me to try and find a bunch of "unique" orcs and have them all in the one fortress. Luckily the one I am aiming for seems to rock up often enough. I've come across 5 so far (but killed two).
I did about 120 hours on Mordor and so far have cracked 135 on War(dor).... Value for money there!

Stuck on ff7 at the train tunnel security check with flames and rocekts. :(

I noticed death stranding trophies and chapter one 98% finish rate but only 35% finish later chapters.

[Caffinetron]

Does anyone on here do any of the iRacing series or get involved in casual racing using iRacing sim? I have been watching the 2 rounds of the V8 series and have been astounded by the graphics etc. Does it take a lot of money to get into or is it something pretty easily accessible?

[DELTAprime]

Depends what hardware you are starting from and what hardware you level you want to reach. This is probably a better question for the PC hardware thread.

[Caffinetron]

Thanks DELTAprime, i'll put it over there.

Uncharted collection and Journey for free from PSN at the moment. I'm quite looking forward to replaying uncharted 2/3, I tried 1 but got annoyed with the balancing bits on it where you had to use motion controls and the grenade throwing controls were especially irritating. Hopefully, those have been taken off.

Journey I bought on disc for my PS3 and thought it was a great game. Although I did finish it on my second go, but that is mainly because I came across another player. It was a magical moment. I spent a lot of time thinking, is that an AI or another person?

It was a strangely interesting experience playing through it and a lot of fun communicating with my unknown partner. I do wonder if that will still work for those who don't pay the the old PS+ and dont normally get multiplayer on PS4. Like me.

This would be cool if I didn't own them already.

Honestly, I've given up on PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold. I don't use the multiplayer on those services as I'd rather play on PC and the free games from both companies are really stale at this point, plus I own half of them. I've let my PS Plus lapse and when my Xbox Live Ultimate lapses I'll change over to PC Game Pass.

Other players can pop into your game in Journey even if you don't have PS+ PS4 (I think they justified it as it is such a passive multiplayer mode, and not like your typical competitive matches).

I played all four games on the PS3 and I probably wouldn't play them again but claimed it anyway :D.

Most games you can buy on pc as well as console. So why pay for a subscription service on console when you can play on pc for free?

Mainly because I don't think My laptop could handle them. Also I prefer gaming on the couch as I seem to spend a lot of time staring at computer monitors as it is.
Finally some games just feel better on a console to me than pc.

There's a whole myriad of reasons why use one format over another.

Been plonking away at uncharted one and I am enjoying it a lot. Although it does show its birth date somewhat. Having played the other 3 before playing this one its interesting to notice how the series has evolved.
For example, the shooting arenas are SUPER obvious in this one. Even to the point where the "Natural" environmental walls stand out somewhat. Some of the set pieces feel a little lacking, I'm sure back in 2007 (wow, 13 years ago...) the jet skiing up the rapids and on the lack with a grenade launcher was an awesome moment. After playing the others, it was OK, but could have been fleshed out a bit better.

It has made me wonder though, Nathan spends a lot of time figuring things out to be in areas first right? Like working through some stupid puzzle to get into some hidden area. Yet after walking in there for maybe five minutes having a look around... Somehow the bad guys have managed to make their way in as well. The place has been hidden for hundreds of years and the same time Drake sneakily finds the secret entrance using his bwain, the bad guys find the back door somewhere, without Drake's input.

in between Draking, I've been Shadow Warring (and Bloodstaining) too and have discovered the L3 button on my controller is busted. This goes along with the (apparently not so rare) occurrence of the L2 button causing the up input on the L stick as well. I'm gonna see if I can crack it open for a clean (hope this is the problem) or will I have to buy a new controller? Dun dun duuuuuuun!

Not that anyone cares, but my PS4 controller dieded.

So I got a new one, which I had to go online for. All the shops in my area were out, and one store's online site couldn't supply. I wonder if its because of coronavirus, or as Kurdt has suggested, end of the era?

It's currently sitting in my little quarantine section until opening time... I've been amusing myself playing my good old Sega Saturn and A link Between worlds on 3ds. Both of which I have been enjoying enormously.

There is a shortage of gaming stuff in general. People in lockdown need to keep themselves amused somehow. And boy, don't get me started on the shortage of streaming and podcasting equipment.

Finished death stranding and ff7. Now to sell them.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I finished Legend of Zelda, A link between worlds.

And what a damn good game it was! I had trouble putting it down and would easily suspect that if I had no other distractions, I could happily spend a day or three playing it until I finished it. Great music, great dungeons, interesting skills gimmick, nice ability to decide which dungeon you want to tackle and when.
Also very good use of the 3d. Probably the best I've seen as it's nice a crisp and it actually helps in some puzzles (like falling between levels and trying to land on moving platforms and stuff).
Plot was kind of predictable, but that could also be down to me having played a LOT of Zelda and beginning to get the idea. Also being an intelligent person with a brain that works.
Also has a nice satisfying ending too.

Some of the gadgets you pick up I felt were a bit underused. The sand rod had minimal use outside of its main area and finding all the maimai and the resultant powering up of certain items led me to an easier game than I expected. Also I was a tad disappointed with the mount of chests I would go out of my way to find in the dungeon only to find that it just housed 100 ruppees. I had ruppees every where in this game. The main reason I ended up buying all items. Then I still ended up getting lots of ruppees.

Considering how minor my main complaints are there, I guess it's a jolly good game.
highly recommended

I really enjoyed The Last of Us, and am looking forward to the second game...

...but geez it looks really dank. I hope it isn?t all doom and gloom.
