Been playing The Last of Us Part II this weekend. Great looking game, solid gameplay, and a pretty strong emotional story. Am quite enjoying it.

Just yesterday I was wondering if I'd Play Last of Us III if they were to release one, and despite enjoying 1 & 2 I'm not sure I could sign up for a third go through. I was happy with where they left the story in the original.  I did not mind the story in Part II but I did not think Ellie's character arc fit with the story told so far.  Avoiding spoilers I'll say that I did not think her motivations toward the back ened of Part II fit for my expectations.

I enjoyed the original Last of Us a lot. I played through it twice (PS3 and PS4), and was satisfied with its conclusion. Felt like a single experience to me.

No gaming for me this weekend. I've been stuck in bed with the flu and spent most of my time thinking of creative ways to end my misery.

Hello everyone, I finally jumped back into gaming this week by playing the latest Prince of Persia. I was lukewarm on this initially but now that things are opening up, I'm really enjoying it a lot. Its been a while since I've played a Metroidvania this good.

I didn't like the direction that part 2 took with the story at all. It left a bad taste in my mouth since it was so grim, even by the first game's standards.

Hanging yourself by a tree branch above a bonfire is pretty creative.  A dude that worked for my company did that about 30 years ago.  I cannot remember if he shot himself in addition to the hanging...

Apparently a thoroughly good game (latest PoP).

My son bought it himself (it was discounted so within his budget) in august and has been diligently working his way through it. From the little I've seen of him playing it looks pretty good, and everything I've read about it was positive. I saw mention of it being a pretty tough game and my son's playing on hard and shows no intent of giving in and switching to the default difficulty. Good on him.

I completed the main story in Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice.

If you stopped playing Ace Attorney after the OG trilogy, boy do you have a lot of great stuff to look forward too.

Spirit of Justice is a particular  high point, you even bring about a revolution in a foreign country.

3 of the episodes are linked and the last case is quite epic.

Now I have the dlc to play.

Also completed Myth Seekers 2, an Artifex Mundi game.

These games have great potential. Ut they often let you down on the story. A lot of it is so vague and told through short exposition that by the end you forget what you're even doing.

Some God did what and now you need an amulet from your uncles friend in Paris?

So I went ahead and ordered this keychain because why not? This thing is heavy! It's half inch thick and mostly metal. Feels like it was removed from a real arcade machine. It's way too heavy to carry around with me so I have it on my desk at work. I really like it.

He's not wrong:

Can you put an actual coin through it?

Beat The Last of Us Part II and I really enjoyed the story. Definitely an emotionally heavy game but I was completely invested in it all the way through. Despite having spoiled myself on the story when it first came out I still really felt the emotional back and forth I had towards the characters. Terrific performance by the actors portraying them.

George Burns had a dirty joke about that. Here is Carl Reiner recounting it on Conan:

It's fantastic. Probably not quite appropriate for a six year old but she doesn't get the double entendres.

https://gameunder2.squarespace.com/http/gameunderlibsyncom/rss/2024/8/26/game-under-podcast-159

It is quite unique, so a bit hard to put in a genre box.

First the art style is amazing, and I love watching her play it just because ti si so entertaining visually. It is also legitimately funny.

Kind of like a point and click platformer but very relaxing. Problem solving that is twisted, but not arcane.

Shortish, about 3 hours, more if you go hunting achievements.
