Well my country is fucking stupid but I'm getting VF6! So something's are good at least lol.

I'm bummed at the Mario and Luigi scores, I know it's at 80 but some of the reviews hit points that I have had issue with newer Mario RPGs, I think I will pass on this for now. Nintendo just refusing to give us any switch 2 news, getting annoying.

I have been playing Dragon Age, started off slow but now the combat has really picked up and there is a surprising amount of depth with the team building and strategy. The writing isn't up to the standards of old BioWare, this really feels like a marvel movie DA game.

It got an 80 on metacritic and has mostly positive reviews.

There was a dumb ass IGN review.

I'm not getting it anyway. I have other games I need to pick up first, but I need to work on my backlog anyway.

So I completed Ghosts n Goblins resurrection again on the shadow mode.

I've fully upgraded the skill tree. I have a bad ass red armour.

But I haven't unlocked the true final boss. Now the Internet is telling me I have to find all the black chests and he'll holes, which are all hidden in the levels.

Apparently both the normal and shadow versions of each level has a hidden black chest.

This is going to suck. Not sure I can be bothered.

I might get Mario and Luigi this weekend.  I could really do with some whimsical light adventuring.  Haven't played any of the games save for the GBA original I think.

I know you guys probably won't care, but the Switch eshop publisher of first person adventure games is having a sale.

On their most recent releases too, Artifex Mundi.

The games are as low as £1.39

I bought 5 of the newest ones to add to my collection. I have 54 now.

Hi everyone. I've been choking on work and sick. No gaming for me to speak of. By the time I get to the end of the day I'm too exhausted.

I did  install Launchbox though, which has been fun:

https://www.launchbox-app.com/

Its a game launcher fo all the game on your PC, saving you from having to remember what games you have on all the various storefonts.  I've been very happy with it so far and I'm just using the free version.

Metro VR game would be scary AF.  You'd have to pay me to play a game like that in VR.

This weekend, I've been playing various versions of Ms. Pac-man: Arcade, 2600, 7800 and Sega Genesis. I'm terrible at the arcade version, but decent at the 2600 and 7800 versions, probably since I played them a lot as a kid. I owned the Genesis version back in the day and really like it, excellent graphics update, but the scrolling screen sucks.

You likely already knwo the story but this weekend I read an interview with the GCC guys.  They were going to call her Miss Pacman, bu thtne someone said, yeah but in the cutscenes she and Pacman have a baby, she should not be out of wedlock.  So they changed it to Mrs. Pacman, but then one of the GCC wives (who had not taken her husbands name) objected.  So Ms. Pacman it was.

And yes, the Genesis version is great. I used to play it on my SEGA nomad (my favourite gaem to play on the Nomad actually).

Yup. I remember reading that too. Times were different in the 80s. LOL

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...

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?
