Their English isn't great so hard to tell what has been censored/removed without having played it. If it makes sense to you and sounds suitably minor I might grab it anyway for the price.

Can't say for sure if they have removed anything else. You might want to wait for more info.

1: Lake (xbox) beat on 03/01/22. 7/10 2: Guardians of the Galaxy (xbox) beat on 09/01/22. 10/10 3: Packing (xbox GP) beat on 31/01/22. 7/10 4: Watch Dogs Legion (xbox) beat on 06/02/22. 6/10Overall just about good but with lots of caveats, the voice cast are awful, probably the worst I have ever had the misfortune to listen to. It really is that bad across the board. it also seems to be a big downgrade interactive wise from 1 and especially 2. The driving is awful, I love arcade driving and had no issues with it in the first games, but this is so twitchy. Probably worst collection of music across the games as well. "keepy-uppy" was shite. What I did enjoy: some of the side missions and main missions were fun. Some of the recruits had some good and fun perks. Darts was fun. The world and being able to use a Drone to fly around on. I think 4 of the points I have awarded are due to the fact I recreated the Animals (Battersea power station) album cover...it's on my Xbox feed  Anyway...Next. |

#1 - 05/01 - Dark Souls Remastered (PS4/5)
#2 - 06/01 - Danganronpa (Switch)
#3 - 08/01 - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5) Platinum
#4 - 26/01 - Yakuza 5 (PS4/5)
#5 - 06/02 - Alan Wake Remastered (PS5)
Have to say, Remedy are fucking incredible with the gunplay in their games. I remember enjoying this 12 years ago but playing again, absolutely brilliant game.
I didnt bother with the DLC though due to time, got too much on currently and sadly the PS4 and PS5 are going to go away for a bit whilst I focus, but did the main game and found all collectibles so I'm satisfied.
Will be playing a bit of Trails over the next few weeks when I find time, otherwise it's the Switch in bed! About halfway through Danganronpa 2 and want to get that done before Triangle Strategy whatever its called.

1. A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS5) (16/1/22) (8/10)
2. Beyond a Steel Sky (PS5) (22/1/22) (8.5/10)
3. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5) (9/2/22) (8/10)
Another PS5 completion, still behind schedule. 80% trophies (48/59) on one run through. Enjoyed GOTG after (along with most people before release) not expecting a lot. Looked very pretty (I went for RT mode) with a nice range of environments and creatures. Voice acting is mixed but happy enough with most of the main 5 (Gamora's voice is pretty bad and Drax and Rocket are surprisingly decent with Quill being okay). Character banter and dialogue is really well done and fits the tone of the group.
Gameplay is quite fun with a nice range of abilities. Boss fights can be a little long and bullet spongey sometimes and some mobs feel a bit repetitive thus only 8/10. I didn't get all the secret items bit got a decent bunch of them. I might try chapter select at some point to get a few things I know I missed.
Elsewhere getting through Mary Skelter 1 on Vita so it may be next. Got to decide between Spiderman, Death Stranding, Nier Replicant or Tales of Arise for my next console game...

A cult classic, but having no nostalgia for it, I can say it didn't age as well as Resident Evil.

Marvellous. The cases are definitely overall weaker than the first game but its still absolutely brilliant. Forgot how much longer the game is than the first two, probably another 15-20 hours on top!
Won't start 3 for some time as that's a good 65-75 hours I've put into the first two now. I was going to wait for Triangle Strategy but now Xenoblade 3 has been announced, think its time to finally play 2. Had it since launch...!
Still also plugging away at Trails in the Sky on Steam, a good 40+ hours in now and on the final chapter.

With emulators and savestates, it's not bad. On real hardware, it would be a nightmare. Stil, I played on emulator, so...

Went with a soldier Femshep build, unfortunately in trying to make her look like Samantha Byrne I gave her a horrible "trout pout" so the helmet was nearly always on!  I loved everything about the game, did make one school boy error, I thought I could continue to do some sides and exploring after the credits roll (like most open worlds)...of course, forgetting that is not the case here, do'h. Luckily I had saved about 15 times at various places and planets (are you listening Dying Light2) so rolled back to an earlier one just to finish them. onward... |

Played all four Cold Steel games and now planning to work my way through the first games and wow, they really do deserve the glowing reputation they have. Just magnificent. 65 hours (with a fair bit of use of the turbo button) flew by.
I've got 2 and 3 ready to go but am also four hours into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 so think will stick with that now for a bit of a break! Really hope (and can't see why they wouldnt) these work with the Steam Deck!

Yeah, I think it's more compatibility than actual performance concerns, since they are essentially up-rezzed Vita games.

Very rare flashes of brilliance you'd expect of From, but most of the times it's just bland and uninspired. Still playable, I guess.

Absolutely stunning sequel and continuation of the wonderful Space opera. Loved all of it. Unfortunately due to my awful management style I lost 2 team members during the final mission! After 80+ hours over the course of the 2 games in a very short amount of time I may have a break before embarking upon 3...then again maybe I will not.

Soundtrack is staggeringly good. Overall, loved my time with it and now up to speed for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in September, wahey! Now it's between Danganronpa 3 and Triangle Strategy, the latter I think will get the nod considering it arrived last week and haven't been able to play it until I finished this  |

An interesting idea with some good campaign levels, but gets way too chaotic and hard after a while.
At least that's my non-BC 360 games quota for the year done.

I never played the original back on original Xbox, but always meant to. Fast forward 17 years and I get to play the "modernised" version. It was ok just about, very easy with some good humour, beyond that I think it showed its age...badly.

Its slow start beguiles a game that manages to be derivative and original at the same time.

A mostly retro shooter. Levels did get repetitive after a while, but it was a good time overall.

Had a fairly slow start to the year and didn't think there was much point in bothering with this, but then smashed through a few admittedly short games this week. Telling Lies got me in the mood for some more FMV based based games, so I'll probably get some of the Wales Interactive ones off my backlog.
1. 23/01 - Neo: The World Ends with You
2. 26/01 - Nobody Saves the World
3. 16/02 - Dying Light 2
4. 14/03 - Horizon: Forbidden West
5. 28/03 - Vampire Survivors
6. 28/03 - Telling Lies
7. 29/03 - Guns, Gore and Cannoli
8. 30/03 - Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2
9. 30/03 - Her Story

Post by dfunked on Mar 31, 2022 8:27:41 GMT
DL2 was 39:43
HFW was 50-60 hours according to truetrophies, which is more than I expected. Will double check on the console later.
Yeah, credits on both and went back for the plat for HFW.

A great end to 115 odd hours of space opera. so enjoyed my time back with the crew of the Normandy. The best looking of the 3 games of course, probably best gunplay also. But more importantly than that was the fact that after 3 games of outrageous flirting with anything (and I mean anything) with or without a heartbeat I managed to get Femshep laid! and it was with Traynor...the little minx!
I always remember enjoying ME3 the most out of the three games during their original release but since playing them all back to back over a couple of months I think I would probably say it is the weakest. I say that while still awarding 10/10 mind you, yes even with the endings. I think ME1 was my absolute favourite. All 3 games are still wonderful.
Now can I please have my Gears: Marcus Fenix collection and Resistance collection as well!
Oh Yeah!

1. A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS5) (16/1/22) (8/10)
2. Beyond a Steel Sky (PS5) (22/1/22) (8.5/10)
3. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5) (9/2/22) (8/10)
4. Lost Judgment - Kaito Files DLC (PS5) (4/4/22) (8.5/10)
Played through the Kaito Files DLC this week. Got all 4 trophies (beating all the bonus fights). Took about 11 hours to 100% so possibly a little short for the cost (I got the season pass on a sale a few months ago so cheaper than RRP). The story is a fun Yakuza romp and Kaito works well as a main character too with a bit more of his background covered. Some interesting boss encounters too. No sidestories though which is one downside but other than one tailing mission feeling overlong the pacing is good and the story doesn't outweigh it's welcome. Worth playing if you enjoy the mainline games. Played this on the PS5 version (as opposed to the PS4 version I played of the main game)
As for my progress, I am doing terribly this year, wonder if I will even hit 20 games... Mary Skelter is almost finished but gaming time feels limited. We shall see how I do.

A somewhat atypical Souls, but I don't think the open world worked all that well. Then again, I've never been no fan of open world games in general.

I've badly broken my wrist so am basically banished to visual novel style games. Massive fan of Phoenix Wright games but fuck my life this was so, so dull. No memorable characters or cases like the games usually have. The final case just never seemed to end, the credits are rolling now, I've been playing it for about four days. My PS5 says my playtime is over 45 hours, which isn't 100% accurate as no joke, I have fallen asleep repeatedly during it including four times today.
Anyway, think I'll do Robotic Notes now rather than do five more cases in the sequel and hopefully my wrist heals so I can play one of the five massive games I have installed rather than more visual novels.

5.1 Episode 1 (8/10)
Played through the first ep of LiS2 and it seems like a good start and does a fairly decent job of covering the relationship between siblings with an age difference (that I can relate to as I had a younger brother with a similar age difference). Some of the other themes are very 'of the present' too and they feel well done so far. The art style isn't my favourite but I does the job.
