Anyone played Greed Fall or Maneater? They're free this month. I quite fancied maneater when it came out but it looked a bit repetitive so any feedback would be welcomed.

Greedfall seems good on paper but I found I couldn't really get into it. It borrows bits and pieces of better games I guess. It feels like Dragon Age, or Witcher 3, or parts of each, and some other games, except with less polish. Basically I'd say... If you loved Witcher 3 or Dragon Age Inquisition you might like it. If you didn't you definitely won't. And if you haven't played them... Play them instead because they're better games :joker:

Team Sonic Racing.

It's Sonic meets Kart Racing, what's not to love?

Being serious it is a fun alternative to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Beach Buggy Racing.

I've always hesitated to get the Game because she sounds like a female Negan from TWD based off her description, but is the storyline executed better?

She's easily one of the best written characters in the game and the game is one of the best written of the generation. She's certainly nothing like Negan, other than... Well... That One Fing Wot Happens. She's the secondary protagonist - she isn't the villain, despite what the Internet will try to tell you (because of Joel bias) :p.

Either way, honestly, if you have a PS4 it's not one to skip... It's a defining game of the PS4 era whether you like all of the characters or not. Even purely tech wise... It's the pinnacle of what the PS4 hardware can do.

My ONLY criticism would be that one or two of the "twists" are a little predictable, and the games run time feels slightly long and almost like it should have ended slightly earlier... BUT from a gamer standpoint, that's made up for by the fact that some of the best level design in the game is in the very last area.

Fair enough, it's just I was worried that she was gonna get fan fiction writing so it's held me back from buying the game, even though I really loved the first game.

Playing Mario 64 and the controls are so annoying :fist: but I'm still enjoying it.

I bought the Cobra Kai game off Steam for £13.99 (it cost £35 on console.)

It is actually pretty good fun, in the style of Double Dragon or Streets of Rage, with quite a lot to learning the combat.

I Am Setsuna - It's my 2nd day playing the Game and I've got to be honest I feel deeply disappointed in the Game.

Considering it gets compared heavily to Final Fantasy X, I was expecting something more epic and interesting with a more interesting set of characters than what the Game actually has imo.

I'm gonna try and give it one more day, especially as a new party member named Julienne has just turned up in the Game, but for me there's a few things that need to improve for my tastes.

1. Setsuna needs to have realistic responses to what's going on around her, they try to have her be unrealistically perfect which makes the character annoying and boring imo.

2. On a more subjective note I find the locations to be very repetitive, it's all just Snowy landscapes that all look largely similar to one another. A bit of variety in location design wouldn't have hurt the Game.

3. Aeterna is largely not really necessary to the Game after the beginning segments of the Game, her plot has just dried up completely.

4. The Battle System is generic, I can actually get around this tbf if it's still acceptable (which it is) but it's still a flaw in the Game for me, it's just a minor one.

5. As someone that loves villainy in my fiction this Game is really scarce in it's usage of it's villains. Again it's a subjective complaint but it really bugs me when fiction decides to just ignore having a Rogue Gallery.

Ndir is a strong character though, it's a shame that I can't just pluck him out of the Game and put him in a Game that's actually good.

Btw before it's fans think that I'm being really harsh, I'm not normally that picky on Video Games (I've even liked Games that have been panned by critics) and I have liked Indie Games so I'm not being a snob, but to me this Game is poorly made.

He looks like Billy Idol.:laugh:

I Am Setsuna has thankfully got better for me, it's never gonna be a classic for me, but the plot and the level designs have gotten more interesting which salvages the Game a bit for me.

Toy Soldier 16-01-2021 02:22 AM

I'm playing a round of Civ6 using the "proper starting places" map of Europe, as Scotland obviously.

Its weird, Britain is basically inverted (Scotland heavily built up, the South of England mostly farmland) and I've taken all of England, Portugal, Spain and France as Scotland (Dublin Ireland is an independent city but they're basically a vassal state)... However, France moved east and took all of The Netherlands, Germany and up into Scandinavia. So Scotland and France are the only major players still on the board, but France isn't in... France...

Some weird religion I've never heard from is spreading out from "France" real hard and making me nervous, though. They're way behind me in tech so I might just nuke 'em.

Mystic Mock 19-01-2021 10:12 AM

I've finished I Am Setsuna - The Game definitely gets better, I do have issues in certain areas without giving away any spoilers, but overall it does get a lot better than the really bad beginning imo.

My rankings of the characters in the party.

1. Nidr
2. Julienne - Her Story is really good actually, a surprise package considering she's the Princess character and they don't normally appeal to me.
3. Aeterna
4. Kir
5. Fides
6. Endir
7. Setsuna - Not my kinda character really. But her writing does suffer from being completely unrealistically goody-goody, and as she obviously has the main plot of the Game, she tanks the Game pretty hardcore imo.

I've also started playing Luigi's Mansion 3 which has been fantastic so far, but I love Luigi anyway.:joker:

I'm not much of a gamer nowadays but my nephew got a sega megadrive mini for christmas and it took me back to my youth... It comes with 40 classic games including streets of rage, golden axe, altered beast and wonderboy... We played it on a 50 inch tv screen and it was great fun but holy pixels, the graphics are interesting....

It's not just the screen size, the graphics of the old consoles are designed to be played on CRT screens not LCD/LED, which means they're designed around having scan lines / interlacing and look horrible without.

I honestly recommend anyone interested in classic gaming (if they have room, lol) picking up and old 4:3 CRT telly to play on, it just looks much better when played "as intended"... The old assets in the cold light of day on an HD screen... Is just not flattering :worry:.

If you play on a PC emulator or whatever there are decent "CRT simulating" post-processibf options these days. I dunno why they don't build those into the various -mini consoles, other than that maybe it takes too much processing power to be cost effective.

Aah that makes sense, I mean i knew the graphics were basic but i don't remember them being that bad... thanks for the tip :blush:

I am currently playing game right now is pokemon light platinum because this game graphics so good.

Final Fantasy Type-0 - I'm really loving the Game so far, to be completely honest I've never played a more Squad based RPG before so it's all kinda new to me, but the gameplay and the story is really fun and intriguing to explore imo.

Luigi's Mansion 3 and Super Mario Party have been fun out of my recent Video Game ventures (I Am Setsuna also has it's moments) but Final Fantasy Type-0 might actually be the first Game to seriously compete with Persona 5 and Chaos;Child for me.

Also the one they call Mother has a very noticeable rack.:hehe:

I mean... probably not... New Vegas is very choices/consequences based and I'm afraid when you try to steal from people and then murder them when you get caught, people might be a bit unforgiving :joker:.
