Mr_Danger Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Strangely enough I was listening to the Giant Bomb game of the year deliberations and they mentioned that the people who design the fatalities suffered ptsd from having to research all the gory images/videos to make the fatalities.

Yeah, I remember seeing this in interviews around the time of release. Maximillian Dood's done his games of the year and decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do s ome fucked up moves without doing a fatality. I remember the 1st one coming out and causing a stir and that is basically when you compare it to 11 is like a cbeebies TV show. I was told it was violent but didn't see that coming, serves me right for not buying it since mk4. Edited January 2, 2020 by westlondonmist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Fatalities peaked in MK4 anyway. Once you've ripped off your opponent's leg and flogged him with it, there's nowhere left to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Imagine having to pop on to Rotten.com to research that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2020 My "favourite" fatality is one of Mileena's in MKX where she pushes her opponent down and pounces on them while slashing them in half. They try to crawl away, leaving their legs behind and Mileena chows down on sweet sweet innards. Made me feel a bit poorly at first, but then when I realised how OP she is I usually play as her in the tower modes when I can, so I've been desensitised to it. PSN January sale looks alright. I should pick up Spider-Man for £15, shouldn't I? Although I am just starting to properly get into Forza Horizon 4 on my XBone. Trying to drive a Ferrari F40 in the snow is horrendously difficult. I'm tempted to see whether I can convert it to AWD so I have a Rally F40. I'm loving the 1973 Range Rover, and the Austin Healey Sprite. I've not tuned them massively as anything above A Class is a bit much for my reactions to handle, but they are fun to drive. I've obviously got my now customary hot pink 1981 Fiesta XR2 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should pick up Spider-Man for £15, shouldn't I? 100% yes.  I completed Void Bastards and Steamworld Heist over Xmas - both good roguelike games. I've taken to just playing them on whatever difficulty is the most fun for me - usually Normal, but if I feel that I need to go down to Easy, I will. I play games to have fun, not to stress myself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the party games have any great longevity, and I bought it solely for them; I don't have interest in the single player campaign. Off the back of this, I am looking for some recommendations for good party games / multiplayer stuff on the Switch. Nothing co-operative - competitive only. Also, ideally not using tilt/motion control. Any hot tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2020 Have you got Super Mario Party? I'd definitely recommend that. Cracking party game with tonnes of mini games. Some use tilt/motion control, but not many overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 4, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) OK cool. I read one review that said don't bother with it if you don't like tilt control. That's why I included that line in my post, actually! It's on sale atm so maybe I will pick it up now. Â edit: watching some actual gameplay now and it looks like good fun!

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 4, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2020 We got Mario Party last Christmas and play it at least once a month. The canoe mode is lots of fun if you can work as a team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I’m forever buying games and not playing them, or playing them once and never again. Spider-Man on PS4 was great, though. I spent a fair bit of time on it (by my standards) and probably would’ve finished it if it wasn’t for the fact that I got it a couple of weeks before Red Dead 2 came out. Anyone played Trover Saves the Universe? I got it on Christmas Eve but I’ve not played it yet because my PSVR (also got for Christmas) looks very blurry/fuzzy and I’m hoping to fix that first.

I was the same with SpiderMan - I was on course to 100% it, then got Red Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
