gamer.tv Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 More Spiderman. I could quite happily play it for about 10 hours straight, it’s hooked me in the right way. Sadly, with life, I have more like…30 minutes a day. Resident Evil 3 (remake) and Doom Eternal both turned up today, so I’m set for a while with games. Not to mention, I have Skyward Sword HD to play and cash in the bank to get Metroid Dread at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Because of the dream thread I was upset again how Sega won’t fucking port Jet Set Radio Future or anything besides Sonic or Genesis collections. Anyway, I know xbox emulation was long something too demanding but I figured come on it has to be easy enough nowadays and sure enough about 20 minutes of work later I have JSRF running on pc at 5760p 60fps and it seems flawless like it could be native! I don’t know how long it’s been the case, usually I prefer emulation on handheld devices though so I hope this works on Steam Deck as well. Im going to have to “rip” Toejam and Earl 3 now because FUCK. If anyone else wasn’t aware we can rock awesome Xbox emulation now: I went first to a youtube video and skimmed it but honestly it’s not needed to watch anything, it’s super easy as you don’t even need a bios. 1) I downloaded cxbxr reloaded 2) I “ripped” JSRF to an un-extracted iso, perhaps one could “find” “their” already extracted rip in 5 seconds if they really tried to “remember” 3) Mapped my xbox controller in settings, it’s standard 4) Changed my resolution in video settings and clicked exclusive full screen mode 5) played it If you have isos and need to extract them look up Xdvdmulleter beta 9.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris- Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Decided to do the Spider-Man DLC because swinging around and beating up goons is too much fun. I also love how easy it is to be stealthy (an approach I struggled to maintain in the Arkham games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 At my in-laws so using my phone so like the rest of the world, tried out Wordle. Got the answer on the fourth go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Playing some random gamepass stuff and checked out the Ben 10 game. I’m not familiar with the franchise but I can see how it could make for s fun game with the different aliens and abilities but it’s too much a kids only game. It’s all flat with no real platforming challenges it’s mostly a time waster but seems pleasant enough a younger child might have fun. A game in the age range Ben 10 seems to be targeting could be like a real game though, we didn’t play stuff this simple when we were 10. Tried Paw Patrol cuz you never know where a decent enough platformer may hide but na that’s just dog shit. Playing more i am fish which is actually kind of a really cool game, sort of a cross between echo the dolphin and marble madness with a looney tunes ‘sleep walking on the construction site’ flair. Beautiful game too. Sometimes the physics betray fun factor for too long though. Was having fun in the third level and then it hits this part where you are in a cylinder shape instead of a round fish bowl and it’s just not fun and this section won’t fucking end. I’m just sitting at a checkpoint trying to muster the boredom resilience to push through again and hope the mechanic doesn’t return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom631 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Deep into Mass Effect: Andromeda and the more I play, the better it gets. This is every bit of a Mass Effect game and Im so glad I gave it another chance. When Im taking a break from ME:A, Im playing some Hell Let Loose, my shooter of the year for sure.

crispy4000 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Psyconauts 2. Just got done with the casino level, I can already see why people praise this game so much. Controls are so much better than what I remember from the first game. Having to constantly reapply power-ups to face buttons is annoying though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Playing more Mafia DE on pc and the game is seriously gorgeous. I would easily put it up there with the best out there all around. Everything is great in it, outside foliage, city buildings, inside areas, lighting, reflections, car models, characters, and just the atmosphere of the time period they captured. They need to patch this for XSX/PS5, it’s a shame to have it limited by last gen consoles besides on pc, there is so much love put into this city. I find it kind of funny that this is a remake of a game that came out the same year as Vice City and the quality gulf between this more obscure remake and Take Two’s largest franchise in GTA couldn’t be wider. And Take Two owns the studio that made this remake! And Hanger 13 was left to work on some 50min project after Mafia 3 that ended up being canned. I just feel like if someone was paying attention maybe Hanger 13 does the Gta remakes instead of outsourcing and the remakes become a huge hit instead of widely panned?

vaxick Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Played Biomutant for a few hours today. Having a love/hate relationship with the game. It's fun, and I love roaming its world, but the missions are just so repetitive that I get burnt out if I play it every day. Now I'm playing Astral Chain. Not sure what to think of it yet, the combat has yet to really click for me. I'm not very far into it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Finished the Halo Infinite campaign, then I dug through my Game Pass games to find something I could play through quickly. I picked Superliminal, which I ended up playing through in just a few hours. Good game, though it walks a fine line between clever and annoying.

nublood Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Bouncing between Guardians of the Galaxy, Dark Alliance and Halo Infinite. I’m thoroughly enjoying all of them. Halo is finally fun again and I’m enjoying Dark Alliance a lot more than I thought I would. And I’ve already expressed on here how good Guardians is. It’s one of the rare superhero games that developers actually took seriously. Definitely a must play if you’re on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 At my in-laws until tomorrow so I ended up playing 25 minutes of skyward sword hd. I do wonder, if Nintendo ever do another ‘traditional’ Zelda, I’d they’ll forgo the slow burn openings and try to make the first hour a hook for the game. Start in a war for hyrule sort of situation.

Have they added anything? I know another character was in the works. I'm playing Halo multiplayer and Resident Evil Village mostly today. Ready to be done with Village. Next up Horizon Zero Dawn, Dark Souls 2 and Ghost of TSushima DlC. Would like to get another Dying Light run in before the next game comes out. Beat it on PS4 but own it for Xbox as well.

EternallDarkness Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 played a little FH5, enough to get the latest season's cars and then finished up the main game of Horizon Zero Dawn. Now I need to figure out what to play next. Couple weeks ago I played a bit of Guardians of the Galaxy mostly just the intro level but it didn't grab me right away and also messed with RE Village...again didn't really grab me. They both seem like good games but for some reason just wasn't feeling either, though I know I'll return to the and restart and enjoy them at some point down the road. Now I need to figure out what to play next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this being something reviewers pointed out that the game gets really tough for solo players at certain points. Maybe they toned that down with patches, but it was an issue when the game first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imthesoldier Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 This past week, I booted up my PS3 Slim, and got back into FFX HD, which I hadn't played since March of 2015 if my save date is accurate. Was definitely further along in it than I thought I was, but still have many things to tackle. Just made it to Zanarkand Ruins, so look forward to getting the Airship soon, so I can revisit all the different areas where I missed stuff, or can now finally do. I'm sensing this'll be a year of the RPGs for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No new characters yet. Just Drizzt, Barbarian, Dwarf and the Ranger. I’m trying to do a solo run with the Barbarian and I’ve beat 7 or 8 areas so far. I do plan on starting a run with the Ranger because I’m missing my ranged combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Chapter 5 on Lost Judgment. I am digging the story so far. The pacing is pretty good for a Yakuza/Judgment game. I am also playing SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated and I like it so far. It seems like only license games get ridiculous reviews these days. Gamespot gave this game a 2. The biggest thing for a license game is nailing the license which this game does. If you ever wanted to spend time in SpongeBob’s world, this game is perfect for it. Add a simple gameplay loop that is engaging enough, you got a pretty good license game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
