Keith Houchen Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 One thing that is pissing me off is the rolling starts. I start from the back of the grid but when it’s a rolling start it seems to take half a lap before you can race. Your speed is limited so you can’t overtake and when you have 23 places to make up, every corner counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TildeGuy~! Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 So I’m about 2 hours in on Spider-Man 2 and it’s already amazing! In terms of the story though I’ve only just begun as there is so much to do in New York, in a year where their are tons of contenders for game of the year this very well could be it.

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I'm about halfway through the main story of Spider-Man 2, and bugger me it really is an effing marvellous game. The set pieces have been outstanding, the story and characters are well-written and believable, it looks fantastic, the combat and gadgets are all fun and easy to use, and there's plenty to do outside of the main missions. Really just tremendous stuff all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I’ve had time to play Super Mario Wonder this weekend, but not Spider-Man 2, although @TildeGuy~! and @CAREBEAR LUVVA are making me wish I’d divvied up my time a bit better. That said, Super Mario Wonder is absolutely brilliant; easily the best 2D Mario game of all time for me. It’s endlessly creative and has had me grinning like a fool throughout. It’s such a joyful game, I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 The over reliance on save scumming, outright cheese tactics and ludicrous amounts of enemies has sucked most of the fun out of Balder's Gate 3. Can't think of the last game I played that fell off a cliff, this hard. Oh you think you this battle is going well? Guess again, there's about another six enemies off screen and two are going to call in reinforcements. Yeah it's probably a me/skill issue but still, get fucked. There's nothing fun about watching upwards of 20 enemies (18 is the most I've counted, so far, excluding things like rats which barely count) take their turn, even if I come out on top in the end. Time for a much needed break. Think I'm gonna start a new game of Dragon Age Inquisition. Never got round to completing the expansion and I always have fun with Bioware. Might be what I need to mentally recharge before going back to BG3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year I'm very early on in the game - but I'm struggling to accept the new model for Peter Parker, the 'Tom Holland' revision. Mary Jane looks different than I remember too, but perhaps that's all in my head. The Parker change is more jarring to me anyway, the original character model was much better. I'm not far enough into the game to have a firm view on it, but so far it seems more of the same from the previous games - which isn't the negative that it might sound. I think the Morales spin-off perfected the formula, and I also think he's the more interesting character anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes though, it's certainly getting high praise not only from you, but pretty much every reviewer. Final Fantasy XVI is my game and story of the year so far - in what has become a very crowded field, and I'm looking forward to see how this compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 So I actually decided to get back into Dragon Age 2. Like Mass Effect Andromeda, it's the black sheep of it's franchise but I still love it to bits. Fun little self contained and more personal story and not obnoxiously long like so many modern RPG's. Characters are mixed bag (Carver can go die in a ditch) but that's every Bioware game, ever. Yeah it has problems (battles can get a little too chaotic, recycled locations) but much like Andromeda, I think they are really overblown. Especially since from what I can remember the game was rushed out. Not looking forward to THOSE MASSIVE FUCKING SPIDERS, though. Still a rock sold 8/10 for me.

Nope, they completely changed her too. The original design, like Peter's, is also way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
