Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 27, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 21 pages and counting. That's not good. Maybe I won't rush to get my update so I can play some Streets Of Rage 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I rushed in without reading this thread. It's nice to have a nostalgia hit but the lack of games available on launch is disappointing.  Now trying to justify paying out for it to Mrs. W  After playing Mario kart 8 for so long, going back to 64 feels odd and the controls are jerky. Fingers crossed things get ironed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2021 I can't decide whether it'd be better or worse than Mrs Load? Maybe Mrs 90? It does sound pretty grim. I was fascinated by the idea of having a crack at Sin & Punishment, as well as some of those Megadrive games (Streets Of Rage 2). Maybe I'll just try and hunt down an emulation handheld for Christmas to enjoy them that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted October 29, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2021 Been messing around a little with Back 4 Blood on Xbox Gamepass. I was a huge L4D fan and although this is similar, I'm having a hard time getting into it. Outside of L4D, I've never really spent much time playing shooters, so the aim down sights, massive amount of weapon upgrades and the card system is a bit too much for this low tech redneck. Also feels quite clunky and not as smooth as L4D.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Yeah it wasn't for me sadly. Weapons didn't feel right, encumbered by another card system, and the fact that they block a lot of progression and achievements for solo play left a bad taste in my mouth. Made me want to boot up the original on Steam because Mrs. FOOK can do the same for a bit of cheap LAN throwback, it still looks perfectly serviceable and it has a nice simplistic charm and B-movie vibe that the latest one just doesn't have at all.  Edited October 29, 2021 by Gay as FOOK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my mates play it and pairing with randoms in a co-op game is never a fun experience. Think I'll just wait for the GTA remaster and sink my time into that.

Â This sums up most modern gaming for me. Every game I want to sink my teeth into seems to have massively convoluted upgrade systems and skill-tree bollocks. I just want something I can pick up and easily play more than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I'm replaying Ace Combat 7 missions and fuck me this game is arcade perfection, the huge DLC missions in particular are wild non-stop action. I can't wait for a new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jesse Posted October 29, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2021 It's the first Ace Combat game I ever picked up after some urging from a friend on Twitter and it's easily one of my favourite games. There's a bit too much waiting around on some of the escort stuff but the dogfighting is amazing and some of the setpieces are adrenaline-filled perfection.

Merzbow Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 6 is worth a go if you've got an Xbox 360 or later, not quite as exciting but still a really good entry and I think you can find it pretty cheaply too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 29, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2021 Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning is free with PS+ next month. I wish I'd known that before I decided to buy Fallout 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
