I'm playing Steamworld Dig 2. I think I like the original better, but this is good. There's a little too much emphasis on platforming during some of the boss fights and in some of the side quest treasure mines/caves. I don't really like that, and would prefer to just focus on the digging and mining.
So this was RE8 demo weekend where you had 8 hours to play the demo for 30 minutes and then it self destructs. Luckily I have multiple accounts so I played it a few times. The demo inexplicably is almost all cutscenes, when you have 30 min you don't want to sit and watch cutscenes! Why put a big boring scripted moment, there was just one encounter with Lycans to mess with and that's what I focused on over and over. At first I thought this was kind of crappy but then I found a shack with a shotgun and mine, you can barricade the shack like RE4, enemies work in packs to get you. It's fun, but FP is kind of eh for all this action, it's not doom speed, it's slow.
The game is gorgeous even if it's a last gen game, can't wait to play more. Previews came out today detailing the castle which is the next demo, it all sounds fantastic!
Jenny Leclue Detectivu has gotten a lot better. A murder has occurred and I broke out of this house. Rode a speed boat around a mysterious lake. Went through a spooky forest, discovered some cool stuff. It gets a lot better and is worth the £5ish to get it in the sale. It's very scripted though, you do what the developer wants you to and when they want you to do it. You kind of feel like more of a passenger on this ride. You have sections of limited interactivity, but it's all done with such an earnest feeling and slick presentation that it's totally worth it.
Finished Jenny Leclue last night. Turned out to be a good game, really enjoyed it. And it was much longer than I thought. There was a bit too much time spent underground in mines. The game has some light platforming elements. You can't die though or fall off anything, so you spend most of the time climbing ladders and doing little scripted jumps. Sadly the game resolved the murder, then ended on a cliffhanger. They said to be continued, hope the 2nd game gets made.
I just grabbed it, so thanks for the heads up. They didn't publish that on the front page of the PS store so I probably would have missed it otherwise. I never got around to playing it, even when it was added to PS Now so I'll add it to the library. Who knows however actually play it, but it's nice to know it's available.
On that note, I'm in dire need of a hard drive for my ps4.
I thought Hobo gamers picked up AAA games for hobo prices. I'm buying indie games... At hobo prices. 😁 Just bought 4 more games for under £10 total. NAIRI tower of Shirin, Agent A, Jotun Valhalla Edition, and Scheming through the Zombie Apocalypse.
I played about 10 minutes of Wave Race 64 this weekend.
I started Fallout 76 this past week. I'm enjoying it though it has a lot of issues.
I've been forcing myself to keep playing Cyberpunk 2077 and Firewatch.
The former just isn't the same when all these stupid updates keep disabling nudity.

Nah, fuck a demo rollout like this. No thanks.
Horizon is free on the ps store right now.
Jealous.

Started the Inner World. It cost like £1. I'm starting to wonder if I've become an indie gamer.

Roger Hargreaves is turning in his grave right now. This is all kinds of wrong. Most of those kinds will probably be dollars.
