Awesome.
Well as opening thoughts I pick up selection of weapons, decide I prefer the faster katana and repeater rather than the hammer and bow. So obviously I then pick up the items to upgrade the ones I didn't want to use and now feel I should use them instead.
Also I seemingly already have way too many options for a special move, just about every quest has unlocked another and I haven't got to grips with the ones I already had so dunno which one I should be using.
More positively, everything so far has been fairly simple, I like the fact that you can swap between the weapon upgrades if (when) I realise I picked the wrong one and best of all - the narrator's voice is excellent. I am currently impersonating it for my internal monologues!

Tried GTA III through PS Now. Sweet Jesus it’s bad. I didn’t expect it to be that bad. I played GTA III for the first time earlier this year on PC and enjoyed it as well. The PS version is just weirdly laggy with a strange smooth filter over everything. The lighting doesn’t even feel right. Only positive is the rain to be honest.
I guess it is technically a PS3 game but after all the chat from @colonelkilgore about it, I've fired Guacamelee back up and am doing a run through on hard mode to get the platinum.
I'm about an hour and a half in and just heading to the desert after picking up the uppercut and headbutt abilities. I don't know if they remapped the dodge/roll button for the second game or if it's just because what roll is mapped to in most other games but I keep pressing O to do it and it's starting to get a bit annoying!
@Thrillho yeah I think it was either the right stick or L2 for dodge… and I found the right stick ‘felt’ better, though there is the trade-off of your right thumb leaving the race buttons momentarily.
@Sorteddan@Th3solution so played a bit more Bastion, completed two of the Who Knows Where hoards with all idols invoked and I am starting to ‘get’ it… although it’s probably a little too late in the grand scheme of things imho.
Basically, I’ve found that when you make the game more difficult, the choices you make in regards to your character build comes to the forefront (choices which can be changed at any time back at the Bastion). It feels a little late for me as taking on these ‘Who Knows Where’ hoards with maximum difficulty is probably the last thing 99% of players will do. It’s a real shame as the combat tactics and gameplay are really good during these.
I really can’t complain though, I think I picked the game up for a few quid, so these last four sections being excellent are more than worth that little expense.
@colonelkilgore That’s good to know, in the rare chance I ever go to play Bastion.
It will be interesting to hear how you get along with Transistor. I don’t want to taint your perception so I’ll not expound on some of the parts to the game that I was displeased with. But you being primarily a gameplay-focused gamer and me being slightly more concerned with the narrative side of things, it might be a completely different experience for you.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution yeah you could be right. What I will say is that it definitely offers something a bit different... which is always nice. And that looks to be a trend in all 4 of their games, so I'm still pretty keen to play through all of them in time.
So made a start on 13 Sentinels… today and after struggling to get engaged for around the first 5 hours… it did start to connect a bit after that. I’ve spoken to both @Jimmer-jammer and @Th3solution recently about their feelings about that first act… and I definitely felt the same tbh guys. That being that I was considering turning it off and installing something else.
Having stuck with it for around 8 or 9 hours though, I think I started to feel more and more engaged by the narrative (I’ve always been a massive sci-fi fan… and this is pretty epic sci-if once the story starts to unfold) and also how replaying certain incidents for the appropriate outcome to proceed the story works. I’m still not entirely convinced but I am now feeling that lure to return that I wasn’t anticipating feeling 3 or 4 hours ago.
Also, for those who haven’t tried it yet… the art is stunning!
@colonelkilgore Good to hear it picks up as I thought it might. It’s pretty unique in its execution, but the Sci-Fi storyline seems to be good.
What do you think of the strategic battle system?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution yeah the battles are a nice diversion… and surprisingly satisfying when you manage to take out a shed-load of enemies with one well-timed attack.
@Jimmer-jammer in that case I think it’d be worth your time at some point… it just leans in on the sci-fi elements more and more as time goes on from what I’ve seen.
