Got my mum started on Uncharted 1, she’s loving it so far. It’s on Explorer difficulty as the shooting isn’t brilliant to be honest and a higher difficulty will just cause frustration. It’s a franchise she can play through at a decent pace though!
@nessisonett Nice. I never played the first game in the series and have not heard great things about it. UC2 has some of my favourite gaming set pieces ever though so I hope she enjoys the series!
@Thrillho It’s really quite dated. I played it on PS3 though and the remaster has fixed quite a few of the problems from what I can see, namely the fact you no longer get pestered by motion controls. I hate the big pop up that came up every time asking you to use your SIXAXIS™
I played through the Trials Of Mana demo last night.
I chose Angela as my main character and decided to have a girl power team with Charlotte and Riesz as my secondary party members.
I was quite enjoying it at the start... But the further I progressed through it the more I started to dislike it.
I was quite sympathetic towards Angela at the start, her story was easily the best of the backstories I played through, but by the end of the demo I was just rolling my eyes as she became the typical, kinda shallow and bratty, teenage girl thanks to her voice actress and the dialogue.
Charlotte's backstory was honestly pretty dumb and Riesz's was just as bad (Hell maybe even worse as the whole kingdom are just blithering idiots there apparently).
The "story" kinda had a Dragon Quest vibe which was unashamedly old school which... Yeah I'm not terribly fond of that at all. That's definitely a personal preference thing though.
The english voice acting wasn't great at all to be honest. Couldn't say I liked the Japanese voices any better either... but the fact I turned them on at all is quite a knock against the english voices.
... The shop keepers randomly dancing was completely unexpected and hilarious to me though!
The combat was decent enough I guess. It looked pretty decent too. Can't say i'm interested in trying the full game though.
@stuzster For that price you should surely try it.
I got it when I found a retail version for € 8, but honestly I found it just mediocre: the whole game felt like a big side-mission and the city looked as a stage where everyone was repeating the same role again and again...
Some of my annoyance with the story might partially be because I did just come off the incredibly trope ridden Shining Resonance Refrain and I'm all troped out at the moment for the anime/JRPG side of things.
I could play the demo through again with the three gents and maybe have a bit of a better time with it but ShogunRok/Robert's review is pretty much what I expected the full release of Trials would be like based on the demo (Rob obviously just has more of a postive view about the whole game).
So maybe a pass for the moment but I also don't think I'd ever get it without a deep discount... I'm definitely in no rush to see if I think any better of it!

Bloodborne GOTY edition. I beat it before on a different playstation but didn't finish The Old Hunters DLC, so I am replaying it now until I beat Vicar Amelia and gain access to the Hunter's Nightmare. Is anyone else playing it at the moment? I just beat Cleric Beast.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Yeah... you’re gonna have to play it a bit further than that. The Hunter’s Nightmare is hard even right before the final boss, it’s basically endgame content.
@nessisonett You said in a previous post that you thought it was great though, so it must be worth the slog for the extra content?
Edit: I made it to Ludwig in a previous playthrough, attempted to best him numerous times but he was too much for me without summoning, liked what I saw of the dlc, hoping to summon or learn how to beat him this time around - that's gonna be much later though, from what you've told me.

Greedfall. I'm really getting into this, the story so far is quite intriguing. Learning about new lore in a strange new land it reminds me of KOA Reckoning. Some of the beast/monster designs are pretty cool too.
@Draco_V_Ecliptic Absolutely, it’s definitely worth it just for the DLC. You might like Bloodborne a whole lot better than I do though, I’m by far in the minority.
I'm playing some Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 inbetween my journeying through Oregon in Days Gone.
It's quite a bit different to your standard Pac-Man with there being laid out routes via pac dots for you to follow with the collection of pac dots slowly filling up a bar at the bottom of the screen which'll either produce a fruit that'll warp you to a new board or a power pellet so you can do the typical eat ghosts malarky.
There's sleeping ghosts on the boards as well that you can pass that join onto the other ghosts, forming huge trains of them which you need to manouver past. There's a bomb mechanic that sends you immeadiately back to where you started at that particular board if you're in a bit of a pinch.
It's quite hectic, especially on the harder difficulties.
The music in PMCE2 is really great... It's so energetic and really suits the frantic pac-dot chasing. I love the little detail that the sleeping ghosts in the mazes and your life and bomb count all move to the beat as well.
I don't think my D-Pad has seen so much usage before this either! 😂
Been playing Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 since it became free. Surprisingly enjoyable for me, I wasn't expecting much. Also re-completed the Messenger which I cannot recommend enough. I have just received my copy of Sakura Wars via the post, so I will be playing that in about an hour or two. Looking forward to seeing what it is like.
@MS7000 Ooh, please share your thoughts on Sakura Wars, I’ve been looking forward to it but money’s kinda tight in the current circumstances. If it’s any good I might have to pick it up sooner rather than later!
FFVII Remake, just started chapter 17, I'll probably push on and finish it tonight once I've got some food in me. I haven't rushed it and I'm sitting at just over 53 hours played, fantastic game although the pull up challenge almost made me loose my mind 🤣
