I'm liking Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, though I admit i'm using Cheathappens to cheat in it. but i would recommend it. we and my partner are having some laughs while I play it. after this game I'll probably be in another gaming rut. Marvel Rivals and the first descendant has kinda lost it alure to me. so hopping around on games.

Dispatch and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Wuchang will probably be my last Soulslikes for a while, but I do like the game. Dispatch is actually funnier than I thought it would be.

Wicked Seed - Finished 8/10
Good indie effort. Combat was the best part of the game with it being rather similar to the original Parasite Eve. New content coming to the game in the near future which might tempt me to play through it again.

Going to start Hellmart next.

Valkyria Chronicles - Chapter 08: The Woodland Snare (Pt.1)

I can't decide on which rifles to give to my squad units. For now, I've given my Engineers the Gallian-X1 with Def Down effect. The Scouts are equipped with the Gallian-S1. In the meantime, I'm still waiting for that Sniper rifle upgrade.

Everyone is at Level 9. The hunt continues.

Finally playing Terminator Resistance, the complete edition, which I bought all the way back on Black Friday.

I have a really soft spot for this game, can't believe it reviewed at bad as it did. It's an easy 8~ in my book.

Never played the Annihilation Line story DLC before, but have played the base game itself.

Also, is it just me or does this dead guy look like Robert Patrick circa T2 ?

Just started The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on Switch.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Really? Interesting i might check it out. It was such a failure at launch.
But i've read the last patch was November 12 2024. Is that correct? Didn't they update the game later on?

I do not remember when it happened but it fixed many issues and added classic lighting.

I replayed Sleeping Dogs which was my first playthrough since it originally released on PS3. The definitive edition is a miserable experience on PS5 as it is prone to crashes and the sound cuts out during hectic scenes. For its' time, it did so many neat things highlighted by the melee system and environmental interactivity, but I do think its' kind of aged poorly. Progression in the story often feels sped up and as a whole it feels completely predictable. The driving model never felt great, but it does handle pretty well in conjunction with shooting your weapons. The gun combat is a mixed bag as the accuracy of the weapons kind of sucks but it does encourage you to do some cool John Woo shit with its' aggressive cover system. I don't remember the original version be as buggy, but I ran into a ton in the definitive edition (being stuck in the world, randomly failing missions based on where your car is parked, enemies spawning in front of you, etc.). It's a bummer the game was never iterated on, but I don't think I'll ever go back again.

Been playing mio for the last few days. Really surprised me, never even heard of it before its release. Not sure why this game has gotten so little publicity.

 

[yogaflame]

Gt7 especially to test the new Porche GT3. Alternating GT7 and anime marathon One piece.

NiOh 3 Demo and I'm feelin' it...

 

[Shockwave_Fox]

Sacked off Alan Wake 2 - what a tedious boring slog of a "game".

I'm not doing too well with not buying games this year so far.....grabbed Resident 7 & 8 gold editions off CdKeys to replace Alan Wank.

This has added to my list of
Hitman WOA
WRC generations
Crysis trilogy
Dirt rally 2
EA wrc
Turok 1 & 2
Dead Space 2008

And now considering Expedition 33!

Actually playing Crysis 2 now, is pretty good TBF.

The Last Faith DLC

 

[RAIDEN1]

This weekend, it'll be a mix of Playstation 3 and Xbox I think- With the PS3 checking out and continuing on with Starhawk - and Ratchet and Clank a crank in time, Series X- See how far I can get in Marvel Cosmic invasion (the only game right now I am playing from Gamepass, before I head to Star Wars outlaws) (but in general there is sooo much in the back-log - Mad Max, Deliver Us Mars, Tomb-Raider, Sleeping Dogs, Cyberpunk, Robocop, Force Unleashed, etc...)

 

[hardwood007]

Just finished Bayonetta 3 after waiting for a performance bump from the switch2 and was worth it, runs buttery smooth now. The giant demon slaves are interesting and vary the gameplay quite a bit but change the combat significantly, making the environments huge but also duller.

Love traversing and the effortless transitioning between walking and gliding. Appreciate all the options, especially the skates and yoyo. Like the subtle vibrations while picking up flowers and how they show where you've been, and many other little things that make it charming. Incredible animations.. really love them. The spectacle of it all is unique and fun. Story isn't great, graphics a step down from the last.

Not sure how to rate it compared to the first two. Feels like combat is more interesting due to the variety yet requires less skill. Need to go back and try the others again but for now thinking 2 > 3 > 1.

Spoiler: Screenshots

Did this get a boost on switch 2? Improved frame rates and resolution?

Think I bought the game some time back but never got around to starting it

 

[Plague Doctor]

Bouncing between these two

 

[Punished Miku]

Finally beat Commandos Origins. Took me like 80 hours. I go as slow as possible though and kill every single person on the map, hide every body and do it all with zero alerts. The last mission alone is a truly gigantic castle like I have honestly never seen in a game. Layers and layers of interiors with different heights, every inch of it packed with complex enemy layouts.

I give it a 9/10. Music and story were largely irrelevant. Just top tier stealth tactics gameplay, and lots of it. Up there with the very best in the genre.

Pokemon Snap. Nice and relaxing

No resolution upgrade but gets a bc boost so locked 6 60fps now.

Finishing Bayonetta 3 motivated me to also finish Devil May Cry 5. Played it over five years on three different systems. Funny how they both have three stylish playable characters that you fight through proxies via. V and the demon slaves. Great atmosphere, story and characters and excellent combat. Not sure if I'll play it again or give DMC4 a try next since it felt like I was just starting the hang of it towards the end.

Funny enough, I finished DMC 5 last year after buying it on sale in like 2020 I think.

How does Bayonetta look on switch 2? Locked 60fps is nice but I hate how many switch games look on the switch 2 display due to the imperfect pixel scaling. Did you play docked or handheld

 

[adamsapple]

Man, the Annihilation Line DLC for Terminator Resistance is fucking BANGING.

The whole game is kind of a prequel to the movies but this DLC is extra prequel-y, you've got Kyle Reese in your team for all of it.

Some good back drops too.

After the disappointment of Terminator 2D No Fate, this is such a refreshing game to play.

Between this and Robocop, Teyon have carved an incredible niche of reviving 80's action movies as fantastic video games.

 

[Aressa]

P3R between SD and PC. I'm enjoyed it but just like P5 at the end it dragggggs. I'm at 70+ hours.

it looks and plays fantastic, except cutscenes

About to wrap up Chapter 10 of the RE4 Remake on PC. Man, this game is no joke on Veteran. Kicked my ass in Chapter 9 & 10.

That said, I still can't get over how good this game looks on PC. Blows me away every time I boot this game at night. 11 year old me who played the original RE1 would have never believed me. Character models and lightning are off the charts here. CGI sequences looked less impressive than this.

What I don't understand is how Capcom managed to make the game best looking with HDR off. It can be a bit too dark at times without but overall the colors are way to washed out with HDR. But that it still manages to have lightning this bright is a bit puzzling to me.

Terminator Resistance kicks ass. Best movie license game in a long time. Helluva underrated imo.

Valkyria Chronicles - Chapter 08: Reunion in the Forest

This was a strange one because it went all Final Fantasy on my units with the status ailments. My units were rendered inert from the start.

My only saving grace was putting a sniper behind the Edelweiss where there is an incline in the terrain so that I could take pot shots at the enemy.
