General Gaming What are you playing today?

Personally, I could never see myself 100%-ing the challenge missions, even though I beat the DLC. The web controls are fun for fast slinging, but kind of terrible for precision movement. -
Nintendo Xenoblade 3 [July 29 2022] - reviews from OpenCritic posted
crispy4000 replied to Keyser_Soze's topic in The Spawn Point
I'll break it down... Xenoblade 2 references the final hours of Xenoblade 1. You'll appreciate the nod if you've played the first. But it still makes sense within Xenoblade 2 itself, unlike say, FF7 Remake, which assumes you're familiar with prior lore. Xenoblade 2 will make the end of Xenoblade 1 less impactful. So from a story perspective, if you'd ever play 1, I would not beat 2 first. Xenoblade 3 it built off the remnants of the first two games in some form, including their landmasses. It could spoil twists in either or both previous games, but should have a similarly self contained story arc. All said, I'd at least beat 1 first, so you can know some of the references. And be okay with 3 spoiling 2's final hours if you skip it.- 423 replies

Starfox Zero keeps tapping into that late-90’s part of my brain with nostalgia. So far it’s worth it for that. I think I’m getting better at the controls, but this game makes Skyward Sword feel like motion training wheels by comparison. I really wish you could invert the horizontal axis for the motion controls. I never do that in other games, but here I think it would make more sense to me. -

I’ll be visiting family most of next week, so I probably won’t have much time to get into this just yet. I’m still glad it got pushed forward and I’ll be finishing it this summer, hopefully.- 423 replies

Yup, I've been eyeballing that one for some time now. Enjoyed a demo of it a few years back. I never buy indie games at launch though. -

Tried out Star Fox Zero a bit. I forgot how fun having speakers on a controller is, it’s really neat in this game and fits with the cockpit theme. Controls are a mixed bag, no surprise there. But I’m digging the vibe of the game so far, it’s bringing me back. Having just got off of Panzer Dragoon Remake, I think the on rails sections here are better too. Strange how they made it more of a retelling of 64 though. -
Never played the original, but dabbled with Orta a long time ago. This remake isn't quite as good as that game, but I can see why people appreciated the original. It's still no Starfox 64, but what is. The developers struck a nice balance between modern visuals and Sega arcade cheese, for lack of better word. Feels like they targeted Switch, but it still looks good, and on a half-decade old GPU I was able to max out at 4k60. The biggest visual downside is that several cutscenes are pre-rendered at Switch resolution. Overall, it's a fun hour and half romp, worth the $2.50 I paid for it. Felt pretty easy with the credit system in place (was this in the original?). Hopefully Sega greenlights Zwei next. And make the dragon a bit smaller, it takes up too much screen space for a rail shooter like this. 7.5/10 2022 Death's Door - 8.5/10 Torna: The Golden Country - 9/10 Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion - 7/10 Mail Mole - 7.5/10 Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair - 9/10 What the Golf? - 8/10 Greak: Memories of Azur - 8/10 Psychonauts 2 - 9/10 A Hat in Time: Nyakuza Metro DLC - 7.5/10 The Last Campfire - 7.5/10 The Stanley Parable - 7/10 Call of the Sea - 8/10 Panzer Dragoon Remake - 7.5/10

Halo Infinite for PC, XB1, XBXS Reviews OPENCRITIC.COM Halo Infinite's multiplayer is nearly perfect, presenting a free and cross-platform offering with genre-defining potential. In the contrast, the campaign is sufficient for any fan of the series. Reviewers loved it on release, which is why I brought it up.
