@RogerRoger I actually got FIFA for free which is why I’m playing it as I normally do get the latest PES, which is taking a break of sorts this year to focus on a next-gen overhaul. I can’t really complain about getting my money’s worth when I didn’t spend anything but the constant attempts to get me to spend extra is rather annoying!
Been playing Arkham Knight pretty steadily the past few weeks. Got it from ps+ a while ago and had time for it now. It's been awesome! Kinda wish i played the previous game to see the story but there's only so much time.
@Onigumo I really enjoyed Prey. I got strong Bioshock vibes from it. There can be a far bit of backtracking, and the load times are pretty bad, but I had fun with it.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Edit: oh yeah I forgot to mention that aparrently Mr shakedown can act as a way to get 1.5x your money when you lose to him and get it back when he's walking around on a good day but I think you need to upgrade him with CP. Unfortunately I've spent most of my CP on the real estate/club Czar and getting ultimate dash for both characters!
Another thing I forgot to say is that sometimes the interactions between characters remind me of machining style animation. The way the camera shakes when somebody's angry or shocked as well as the weird movements people make, especially the "unwanted attention" animation that the Obatarian and a couple of Kiryu's dates make
I JUST met the Obatarian yesterday @ralphdibny. Good god fashion victim or what? 😅 The lady has the gift of the gab though for the cabaret club that's for damn sure! She's somehow already become a top earner for Sunshine! 😂
And that's an interesting tip for Mr Shakedown! Can't say I have the courage to try it yet... I haven't even been near Majima's version of him.
Mr Libido's ok... A bit one note of a character so far. Quite like Fighter from the circuit myself out of the people you can befriend.
Oh and I played the demo of Balan Wonderworld.
Uhhh... I'm really struggling to say anything positive about this to be perfectly honest.
The effect with the mirrors is nice? The world being on some sort've curvature was kinda neat I suppose? The opening CG was pretty good too? Music was probably the only thing that I thought that really stood out.
Tbh I hadn't seen anything of this before other then Balan's design so I was pretty disappointed to find out you play as some normal kid instead and I was expecting the whole costume mechanic to be much more flashier, not to mention more interesting, then it actually is (And the costumes look pretty creepy to me when worn by the kid)
The levels you could play (Act 1 & 2 Of Chapter 1) were pretty boring (You unlock two others to try after beating the "boss" of the first chapter but frankly I couldn't be bothered). Act 1 is about fifteen seconds long if you ignore everything yet Act 2's level seemed to go on forever with it being fairly open and blandly designed with only like 5 monsters in.
The simplified control scheme REALLY not doing the game any favours as it came off like an absolute chore to play. The "Balan challenge" segments are really uninteresting too.
Yeah... Pretty disappointed with it if wasn't already obvious.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Have you played any of Death Stranding? I'm playing that at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it, I just completed order no.7 and am on to order no.8 . Apparently, @Th3solution ,you get the motorcycle at the end of order no.9 ,or at least access to it but you have to set it up yourself, so I'm really looking forward to using it to get to Port Knot City that way.
"Preoccupied with a single leaf, you won’t see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree, you’ll miss the entire forest. Don't be preoccupied with a single spot. See everything in its entirety...effortlessly. That is what it means...to truly "see." "
I wasn't really a fan of Metal Gear Solid IV or V (Though the moment to moment gameplay in that was rather enjoyable for V in particular) and I'll admit the initial gameplay footage of DeSt looked and sounded rather uninteresting.
@The3solution's love for it (and reading p, seeing more about it) has interested me more in the title though ... But I've not been willing to make the plunge quite yet!
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Even though the Obatarian is a gold hostess, I always felt a bit sorry for the clients whenever I paired them up with her. She does do surprisingly well at it though.
And I agree with your sentiment on the Balan Wonderworld demo. I did try out the other two levels, and they're only marginally better.
The lack of a health system means that there's no tension to fights. But yet, it's also tedious to take damage, since you lose your current outfit. So that means trekking back to get another one.
And due to the simple one button controls, it never excels as a platformer either. Instead, the only vaguely interesting part is making sure you have the correct outfit to collect the secret collectable.
It's a shame, I was very excited for this when I first saw the reveal trailer.
Ha ha I felt a bit bad whenever I paired someone up with her too @crimsontadpoles! But with me being on the final stretch with club moon I need my platniums raking in all that dough for a chance at winning! 😄
And yeah it really is a shame about Balan.
It was tedious to me just cycling through the outfits to get to the one I wanted thanks to the long winded animation of changing costumes (And frankly most of them weren't very good). Not to mention I really wanted a sprint button or something due to how slow I found the character to move.
Oh and was it just me or did the tims sound like the voice actress who does pikachu?
I had a go of the Super Lucky's Tale demo a couple of weeks ago and that only had or so 3 buttons in it (A jump, an attack and a ground pound/dive that you can use to burrow underground) and that was a much more enjoyable collectathon platformer experience!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy haha yeah, the Obatarian really makes me laugh for some reason. Libido probably is a bit one note but I just can't get enough of that dance 😂. I did majimas shakedown sidequests in the end but didn't get around to Kiryu's.
I finished the story last night (this morning?). I think I did 46/60 kiryu sidequests and 36/40 majima sidequests maybe. My save was 107 hours before the last mission so I guess about 108/109 for the final save.
I think I am a total convert now though. In 107 hours I went from "meh" to "I can't wait to play Kiwami". I actually ended up loving Kuze in the end. I don't know why. I think all of the old boys in it have really interesting looks and voices which make them quite fascinating to watch once you get into it, people like Kuze, Awano, Shibusawa, Sagawa and Lee. Sera too, they must have based his look on Ken Watanabe. They didn't sound a like but I still looked up to see whether he played him because they looked so similar.
But yeah, wicked game and I'm glad I played it!
Edit: I should also add that I am obsessed with the music in this game especially (and surprisingly to myself) the song that plays in the cabaret club dress up bit. It just sounds like an old 90s/00s pop song but I really like it. I don't hear much of it though because Im only looking at the stats as I flick through the menus
About 10 hours in to Days Gone now, it started really slow and the Bike Riding took a little bit getting use to, not as fluid as the likes of GTA.
Starting to enjoy it now it's opened up a lot more and given you the freedom to sort of explore the world and play as you want. I feel as though there is a lot to do in this game though to get anything moving, how long roughly did it take to complete the game for any one who finished it?
@MaulTsir as you upgrade your bike, it starts to handle a lot better... as does the fuel tank last a lot longer. You'll also notice that the shooting mechanics tighten a lot as you skill-up there and it starts to 'feel' a lot more playable.
@Thrillho haha well it was only the tough ones, Mr shakedown for kiryu, the pocket circuit fighter kids (I still did the friendship with the guy so I could claim his building) and the dancing ones I didn't do. I may have missed a couple of the dating ones, I got two of the "girlfriend's" and I met a predator, an "ugly" person, someone who didn't turn up and somebody else. I think I'm done with the game though now, I've got too many games I'm planning to play next so I want to get a move on!
@Th3solution I've just started the order that give you access to the motorcycle in Death Stranding!

@TheBrandedSwordsman Good deal. It opens up some things as far as quicker traversal. But you’ll still have to be strategic because not all terrain is the same. 😄
Not only quicker travel, but also the ability to carry extra items on the motorbike.
