@RogerRoger thanks Rog. So I’ve actually gone back and watched a few reviews today since finishing it and from what I can tell (although it’s only been roughly 18 months since I played Doom 2016… the only thing I really remember about it was that I really enjoyed it and little else) a lot of the issues people had was that Eternal ‘made’ players play in a particular way (essentially plate-spinning your various resources as it always feels like you don’t have enough of anything). Apparently 2016 gave the player far more agency to play it their way ie. if you just wanna super-shotgun everything… you can make that happen.
As I mentioned, I do remember really enjoying 2016… and initially I found Eternal a bit too much to deal with. There’s just so many different things to consider in a very short amount of time… but once it clicks it’s something else… even for someone like me who doesn’t really play many of these types of games. Looking forward to something a bit more chilled now though as the past couple of weeks have felt really intense.
#154 Hot Wheeis Unleashed (PS5)
Decided to go back to this last week after a few months away from it, quite easy to pick up where I'd left off. A bit more grindy at the end than I would have wanted but nothing too strenous. Massively indebted to all the Youtubers who posted vids showing the shortcuts necessary to beat the time trials, I wouldn't have had a chance without them.

@MaulTsir cheers buddy… and I’ll be really interested to hear your thoughts on Doom Eternal when you get around to it, what with you being a big fan of the genre. To someone like me who rarely plays them, I honestly can’t imagine there being one better… it feels like the pinnacle.
@MaulTsir Yeah I think I only paid about £6 a year or so ago, prices seem to be going up with games. Felt a bit grubby buying it as I don't really wish to line Bethesda pockets. 🤔😜
Just shout if you want a hand with the MP trophies , they require 3 people so you will need another person. I will say that I'm not sure how long it will remain on my ssd as it is a large install.
@colonkilgore Yeah huge congrats to your latest platinum. Was a fun read! As usual wish you continued luck in your gaming adventures. Also as usual looking forward to read more from you man. As with regards to Doom its been a game that have been on my maybe list for quite some time (as have been the case with Deathloop which I also think looks intresting to say the least). I would probaly give the games a try if I was not so deep into third persons games at the moment.
@oliverp well apart from the fact that I appeared to have morphed from a colonel into the longest part of the large intestine (no worries, you’re not the only one 😉) I appreciate it buddy… and glad you enjoyed the read.
Funnily enough, like you I’m much more into games that feature a 3rd person perspective myself… but I do like to mix it up a bit to keep things fresh. If you do ever decide to give Doom/Doom Eternal a go, I’d just strongly recommend you start with the 2016 reboot. It’s debatable as to whether it’s better or not (I actually prefer Eternal but many do not) but the vast majority of gamers found it a bit easier and therefore a better place to start for the uninitiated.
@colonelkilgore Yeah agree that it can be nice to sometimes change perspective. Some of my fondest recent memories are actually from playing Call of Duty Black Ops and Cryisis hehe.
No worries @colonelkilgore although you are now in my debt and one day I will ask for that debt to be repaid.....I think I've been playing too much Mafia.
Well done @RogerRoger , I've yet to get that 100% and as silly as it sounds the lack of a platinum pushed it to the bottom of the backlog.
PS had you played it on Xbox then you would have got 1000g 🙄
@colonelkilgore A belated congrats on that Doom platinum. That is one that might have broken me so well deserved.
@sorteddan Nice work on that one too. I started playing it back when it was released but haven't put much time in. Seems like it's a bit of a commitment.
@RogerRoger Congrats on that not-platinum. It's always a shame when a game doesn't have one but it's good that it's not put you off playing it. That reminds me I really should go back and finish The Pedestrian, another great game that doesn't have a platinum but feels like it should.
I'm still a long way from the Snowrunner platinum. I got hooked after JudgeDredd recommended it, and now find that it's impossible to put down. It's scratching that same itch that Death Stranding did and there's always one more delivery to make. I must have put in over 100 hours now easily and I've still got 1/3 of the standard game left, then there's the DLC which, even though there aren't any trophies relating to it, I'm probably going to play as well.
Well done @RogerRoger good to get the 100% but I always have a slight disappointment at the lack of a shiny when that happens to me. Good to see you've now dominated one of your faves though.
Platinum #126 - Dante’s Inferno - yeah good little (old school) God of War-clone but not as good as its inspiration. Still, I always enjoy dipping back into the PS3 backlog (while there are games left in it) and well worth a go.
