General gaming discussion

I don't know what ye are talking about. Days Gone 2 is definitely coming. It's releasing right after the Bloodborne remaster.

You get perfection and you double it.

Nice wagons.

I feel like I'm missing out on some insider joke here but I actually enjoyed it for what it was, and it wasn't bad either.

nah. Can't think of one decent game with fighter jets

Ah shur what 'arm? It's just 'armless fun.

Are the Galaxy games better than Odyssey? I havent played them.

Could be controversial but I'm leaning towards Astro over Odyssey. Not sure if its the haptics or the game overall but it just had something more for me. I cant wait for the full Astro game.

Galaxy and Odyssey are close, but I think Galaxy is a purer tighter video game, is incredibly inventive and it has the best soundtrack ever. I'd say Astro and Galaxy have got similar feels. I loved the PS5 Astrobot game but it's just a sample of what could be. The jury is out until the full fat Astro Game comes out in September. Galaxy 2 is excellent, but doesn't have the same killer soundtrack and is more of the same.

The Wii is the best place to play Galaxy as you can run, jump and use the on screen pointer effortlessly at the same time. Switch gyro is not in the same league at the Wii infrared pointer for aiming. But the Switch version is HD. They've stopped selling it digitally on Switch (it's bundled with Sunshine and 64). But you can still get it physically on Wii and Switch.

I have not tried PC emulation. But if that supports a will remote and pointer then that might be the best place to experience it. Dolphin emu.

Think best way to say it is if you play Galaxy or Odyssey, you won't be disappointed. Same with Astro. I won't be comparing it to Mario other than just being happy to get another great game like Mario, assuming it keeps the quality of Playroom.

And I liked Sackboy's Big Adventure as well.

I enjoyed Sackboy. Does take a while to get going. Not on the level of Mario or Astro but worth playing through. Some good boss battles, the speed runs are polished and addictive. Multiplayer levels enjoyable. Some great music levels also.

I only play the 60FPS AC games 😁. AC Origins is good, you can get an excellently animated crocodile to accompany you and your horse and hawk around ancient Egypt. Come on ! I'm interested in seeing what the PS5 upgrade looks like. It's lower res than the native 4K Series X one ... and I'm wondering ... will I actually notice any difference. 😁

Definitely thinking once the PS5 shoebox of games is full up, I'm done with the console war and either moving to PC or SteamDeck 2, when that arrives. And whatever Nintendo sell.

That's 13 stg second hand from Amazon. It's also 60 FPS. Maybe ... checks Wikipedia..

"Ace Combat 7 received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic"

and universal acclaim from @Retr0gamer 😁

I'll probably grab it at some stage, played it briefly on XBox GamePass, but got distracted by something else.

Good to know deluxe edition re AC5. The one to go for.

I fired up my Xbox 360S and bought two games: Remember Me and Bionic Commando.

Is it just that those dolts at FB don't understand it's an alternate name for the Genesis?

There was that file sharing company Mega, that was pretty dodgy out!

Maybe that explains the "concern" FB have for the term?

Decided to start a Dark Urge playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. Didn't really see much of a difference aside from the occasional line by the narrator or an extra dialogue option.

Then I went to talk to the squirrel in the Grove…

Not going to look at the spoiler for now, but yeah I remember last year reading about some of the things that happen. Thankfully I've forgotten most of it now so hopefully it should feel relatively fresh and unexpected when these things happen.

The only one that popped into mind was when you first meet Gale and he's stuck in the portal.

The thing is, new AAA games take years to deliver now and are a huge risk. The virtual boy had 22 games that were probably 1 man years work or less each.

I'm doing very well out of PS5, since it's my very first PlayStation. Getting the PS4 games all polished up, bug fixed, at 60 FPS, and higher res etc. Plus the PS5 games. And Astro to look forward to.

Still is incredible they don't do a day's work to switch The Last Guardian to 60 FPS. It runs at 60 if you install from disk and turn off updates. I.e. the original release, but then you've got game blocking bugs where you do need to upgrade to get past and then reinstall to proceed at 60FPS. And Bloodborne is still 30 FPS.

True, Virtual Boy's library enjoys a strong homebrew community as well.
