It's a really nice, well made, charming show and the hosts aren't annoying in the slightest. This is their big end-of-year round-up show, so if you're after some new and old games to dive into, this is a great place to start.   I may give them a look. Managed to rack up enough gamers core for a five quid XBox store credit so picked up Yakuza 0. I had it on PS4 and played a certain distance into it, then got distracted by Street Fighter 5, or probably Forza Horizon 3 on XBox. I'm almost up to where I left off on PS4, and worried that I'm going to struggle with all the real estate/club management stuff. Did alright at Space Harrier and won some cute stuff on the gatcha machines, though. Depending on how I fare this time around I may try and crack through the rest of the series at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted January 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just discovered the Hong Kong Massacre. It has stylish slow-mo shooting and well, that's it, but it's stylish slow-mo shooting! It's like a top-down Stranglehold. I'm in love!

Mr_Danger Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Liking the look of Sifu. All the previews have people describing it as The Raid the video game but it has a neat mechanic where you get a year older every time you die developing different strengths and weaknesses that come with age. Probably get lost in the mix of Horizon and Elden Ring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Releasing a game clearly inspired by 'Souls at the same time as Dark Souls 3.5 maybe isn't the greatest idea, I think it'll definitely get a look in over the year and become a cult classic like earlier game Absolver which has a small but rabid fanbase.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2022 Sounds a bit like Rogue Legacy as well with the strength/weakness every playthrough mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Persona 5 Strikers, probably the most dogshit pacing I've found at the start of a game. Two hours of story then suddenly you've got an entire games worth of mechanics thrust upon you with no time to get used to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished it this morning, was looking forward to it when PS Plus announced it as I loved Persona 5 Royale but all in all it’s not great at all, I was aware of the new battle mechanics but it just felt like a DLC campaign. I’ve just started Spider-Man Remastered, never played it on PS4 so looking forward to jumping in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stupidly hard for how early game it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up abusing the fact you can leave a Jail and get all your SP back as many times as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted January 10, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2022 Finally finished Deathloop the other day. The final loop was driving me mad as I kept failing the last section and had to do it all again….until I realised you could close the game down if you failed and go straight to the final bit again - doh! I really like the game but I’ve learnt that I’m not a creative gamer. I need to be told where to go, what powers to use, what weapons to use and what to do. Give me loads of options and I flail around trying to do the same techniques and getting stressed that the results stay the same. It’s completely different to anything else I’ve played and it’s a really clever idea - I certainly recommend you check it out. I’ve got a bit more to do for the plat and then I’ll be on to something new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that even possible! I think it’s just the last bit you need to do undetected (the party) but yeah I’m dreading that! Lots of stealth and patience (two things I’m not good at!). I need to find a decent silent gun actually, that will be a big help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Oh man I had the best silenced gun you can get on the game that lets you sneak around like James Bond taking fools out and died before I could infuse it. It never dropped for me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Jim Bob Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Microsoft have bought Activision Blizzard for $70 billion! I thought the Bethesda deal was big. This dwarfs that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 What a mad deal. Why would the casual gamer who doesn’t give much of a fuck about the 5 game character arch of Kratos or Sack Boy bother with a PlayStation now? If you’re a FIFA and CoD with a bit of whatever else thrown in casual gamer it’s PC or Xbox all the way now isn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
