@LtSarge I've heard nothing but good things from people that have sunk some time into it, and there are more traditional races too. Can't remember if those were in Destruction Derby as all I can think of are those bowl like arenas.

After dabbling a lot in the racing genre, I've become a bit interested in the 2D fighting genre now. The thing is though that I don't know much about the games on offer. Just like with racing games, I primarily play these games in single-player mode, which is unfortunate because 2D fighting games are mostly known for the multiplayer aspect. So I'm wondering, are there any 2D fighting games that have a decent story mode? It doesn't have to be too long considering a lot of these games are fairly cheap.
The ones that have caught my interest are Injustice 2, Tekken 7, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Street Fighter V, Soul Calibur VI and Mortal Kombat 11.
@LtSarge
Not really my genre either but I did play through story modes and arcade modes with all characters (I think) on both Injustice games. I enjoyed them as it was obviously DC characters, many of whom I was already familiar with. The games had some nice touches and it's always a bonus being able to punch Superman in the head.
@LtSarge I can only speak to SoulCalibur and the two Iniustice games, but if I were to comment on the story aspects, I can’t even remember what the SoulCalibur story was. 😅 I’m sure it was decent enough, but at least I remember the Injustice story’s basic beats a couple years later. So I’d definitely give the nod to Injustice as far as story goes. It also has really good fighting mechanics and looks beautiful, especially Injustice 2.
Take all this with a grain of salt because I’m not very seasoned on the fighting game genre and like you have only dabbled in it from time to time. Having interest in the DC Universe helps make Injustice more attractive as well, so your mileage may vary.

@sorteddan@RogerRoger@Th3solution Sounds like I'll be getting Injustice then! Luckily, I already have the first game so I'll just buy the second one since it's dirt cheap right now (around €10). I also like DC so it's perfect for me.
I might also get Soul Calibur VI. So for now, I think I'm content with getting these two games. Thanks for the help guys!
@LtSarge I’ll be interested in what you think. I’m pretty sure you’ll like Injustice 1&2. And think you’ll like SoulCalibur VI also, even though it’s the weaker SP story, it has a really fun cast and has a pretty intricate character creator, which I always enjoy. Injustice has unlockable skins for the characters, which is fun also, but there’s some real satisfaction to be had by messing around with the SC char creator and making a crazy looking fighter and choosing what fighting style to attach to it.

I think team sonic racing was free earlier this year , and the online was (apparently still) busted so i installed the game into the recycle bin 😂 basically
@RogerRoger maybe it’s regional . i remember when the game first dropped people were having trouble matchmaking with randoms , it never found anyone or just a handful of people - but never filled lobbies . whenever it became free this year , i tried it myself and still no luck . i found people but it was rare and it was only 2 or 3 other people & any lobbies that seemed like it was gonna be a full race , the connections would drop .
Has anyone played Sundered? I'm after a Metroidvania to play soonish, and just found out this is on PS+Ex. Not sure how this has passed me by, as it was released in 2018 and I really like the art style! I'm a little bit apprehensive on how fast paced the combat looks, but I should be ok once I've got used to it.
I should probably just download it and play it, seeing as it is on the service!

@JohnnyShoulder Agreed, that art style is really good. It’s not my kind of game but it look great for fans of 2D Metroidvania. I wonder why I never heard of it.

Following a chat with @The_Moose recently, I’m considering starting Dragon Age: Inquisition during some upcoming leave that I have from work. I love fantasy RPG’s generally and remember quite liking DA: Origins back on 360 (don’t have quite as pleasant memories of its sequel though).
Just wondering if people have played it, what their thoughts are? Also, if anyone has attempted/succeeded with the Plat… as it sounds brutal? 😅
@colonelkilgore It’s been a while, but I have some thoughts on Dragon Age: Inquisition.
First off a disclaimer — I never finished it. I probably played it for 50 hours or more and just ran out of gas. It’s been so long that I don’t even remember what exactly happened to pull me away (checking my trophy list I don’t see any blockbuster games around that time that would have been major distractions. The game I seem to have played next was No Man’s Sky 😅) but I think it had as much to do with personal life issues that tore me away from gaming as much as it had to do with the game itself.
I really quite liked the game. It’s a beautiful (for it’s time) game with a really large world. An impressive design for a game so early in the PS4 generation. It has one of the best character creator suites for your protagonist that I’ve played, if that’s of interest to you. And the story is decent enough with some good lore mixed throughout.
The main problem is it’s too big, in my opinion. I think that’s why I never completed it. It’s got a lot of side content to distract, and although that’s standard fare for open world games nowadays, it seemed a little more egregious than most. Of course having just platinum’d RDR2, you’d probably not blink an eye to the content, but for me at the time it wasn’t compelling enough.
Gameplay was good though, with the party function and the relationship building. I like that kind of stuff. I think if I wouldn’t have tried to do all the side questing then I would have completed and enjoyed it more. I remember now that my final quest attempted was a completely optional dragon that I died 3-4 times to and got frustrated and gave up. What I should have done was push ahead with the main campaign but I was being stubborn.
Overall, I’d personally rank it slightly below Dragon’s Dogma but (strangely enough) slightly above Witcher 3 — two other games in the genre that come to mind. But I realize that’s going to be controversial opinion.
I know @RogerRoger has a fondness for the DA franchise and Inquisition in particular. So maybe he can give a more useful take.
I will say that talking about it make me want to revisit it and try again. Like I said, it was more a ‘me’ problem than an issue with the game, I think. It’s been over 7 years now, so maybe I’ve changed. 😄

@colonelkilgore I am a big fan of the Dragon Age Trilogy, its not quite on par with Mass Effect but I still think that Bioware did a great job with the story/characters and I'm really hoping we do get to see a DA4 at some point.
I'll start by saying there plenty of games similar to it but at the same time it has alot of things different about it that make it as or if not more interesting than many of the games in its genre.
My time with the game was 96hours and its a long story. But I'm a sucker for stories so it was right up my street. Having just played RDR2 you no stranger to long winded stories and Dragon Age is no different, and I don't mean that in a bad way either.
Gameplay wise the combat and mechanics are very similar to alot of other games around that time and genre and if you played any of the other Dragon ages you will feel very familiar with it.
The inquisition part is where the game adds a new layer and I can see why some people didn't take a shine to it as it can some times take you away from the main game but I personally enjoyed it, having to make certain decisions and get certain outcomes made it feel like things mattered.
Overall the games good, or atleast it was for its time, the plat though I'll leave that to you I don't think I'd have the patience, determination or sanity to try 🤣 good luck if you do embark on another impressive plat journey though! If anyone on here can accomplish it I would put money on it being you good sir!
@Th3solution@RogerRoger@MaulTsir
Cheers guys, all sounds really positive fair play. The fact it’ll be a long experience is a good thing tbh as I need something to play (but not yet plat) until GoW:R releases… as I’m already a lot closer to the GTAV plat than I anticipated (long story).
I wouldn’t be able to carry over my previous DA save as it was on my old x-box profile… and I’d have absolutely no idea of the details even if you could cross-platform upload (which I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to do anyway). I’ll be sure to watch a few catch-up vids though to refresh my memory to the lore and dynamics etc. I remember the world and it’s races being pretty deep, which I’m definitely in to. Just not entirely sure about how I’ll gel with the combat. Only one way to find out though eh?
In regards to the plat, I’m currently weighing up the options of a normal playthrough followed by a nightmare run… or just going nightmare from the oft… if I do end up starting it that is. Hmmm, I’m definitely gonna play it at some point but what with sol’s mention of Dragons Dogma and The Witcher 3, they also fit the bill for what I’m after. But definitely food for thought, thanks again guys 👍
