@Jimmer-jammer I was thinking that the change-up/trend-chase might well have been where a lot of the hate came from for 3… and I know you’re a particular fan of souls-likes so your two-penneth on the matter is appreciated.
I’m having a blast with 1 fair play. It’s continued to surprise and impress throughout my playthrough. I’ve just made it to the Black Throne so I’ve seen most of what the game has to offer by this point… and it’s been a pleasure. A proper unsung classic imho.
Ive been pretty much playing WWE 2K25 Bloodline Edition since really late last night. Played late last nght til 7 this morning. then took a nap. then woke up and went back to playing around in WWE 2K25. Still have some CAWs to make and replay the Yokozuna match in Showcase. I havent gone into MyRise yet or even Universe mode yet but Ill get into those two eventually sometime this weekend or later this month since im busy with other stuff going on gaming wise
Still enjoying the hell out of the original Darksiders. I finally made it out of an unbelievably long section full of some pretty testing Portal-style puzzling called The Black Throne this morning… feels like I was there an eternity. Just made it to Eden so I’m guessing that I’m getting pretty close to the end now.
@CaptD made a start on Generation Zero this evening and think that it’s pretty decent so far. I know that you liked it back last year, so I thought I’d tag you with my initial thoughts. It’s obviously very AA, so I can kinda see why a lot of people were put off… but I quite like the desolate serenity of it all. Not quite as Far Cry as I’d like but cool in its own survival gameplay way. Looking forward to playing some more.
Been grinding star points in the new Live Events optional match quests in MyRise for WWE 2K25 to unlock Psycho Sally, Cole Quinn, Super Invisible Cena and El Mago and the other masked guy.
I beat my first run through of MyRise by having the Comedic and Fun personality which didnt last that long in MyRise. Comedic and Fun personality felt out of place with the main story arc going on through this year's MyRise.
I still have alot of wrestlers to unlock in MyRise such as Steiner, modern day DDP and Medusa etc
@graymamba
Yeah the desolation is pretty extreme, perhaps they added coop to help.
It is quite an empty world but the cold drab nature was appealing, more of a winter game for me.
It certainly might have put people off but it released in a poor state as I recall although I didn’t play it until it had been patched, also it is quite unforgiving and pretty difficult at the beginning none of which helped.
Also you might want to look at a couple of trophies as one of them (postgraduate) is quite nasty in that it basically requires two characters and as all the characters use the same world, it might be worth getting it out of the way before the world “levels” up too much and gets difficult for a new character. It is a very weird system. The trophy guide explains it better.
@CaptD yeah I remember you mentioning the Postgraduate trophy back when you were playing it, so it’s at the forefront of my mind. Just mainlining my first character to a specialisation… and then as soon as I get that sorted, I’ll start my second character and mainline him to a specialisation too.
Had another couple of hours with Generation Zero today and making some decent progress. Managed to get the one multiplayer trophy squared away and most importantly have got my first character levelled up to a class specialisation and started a second character to fully level up a separate class for the Postgraduate trophy.
It really is a damn site better than the review scores would have you believe. To give you some context, its metacritic critic score is 45. Personally… and obviously this is me having only played around 5 hours, I’d be looking at scoring it somewhere between 6.5 - 7.5. Time is flying-by while I’m playing it and I’m looking forward to playing some more when I’m not.
@graymamba
Great stuff. Yes it is a shame that it didn’t seem to get the audience but they only recently delivered their final update to the game, which after six years is pretty good.
That is problem with Metacritic, there is no way to undo “that” score. Days Gone director would say the same.
Glad you got the MP trophy out of the way and I would have been happy to help if needed.
PS. The dlc is not too bad and is pretty cheap when on sale....so if you want that 100% and a 100% full of ultra rares.
@CaptD I appreciate that you would’ve been willing to chip in for the mp bud but wouldn’t want you to have go through with the reinstall etc if I was able to get it done with someone else who also needed it.
I doubt I’ll go for the dlc if I’m honest, even though I am enjoying the game quite a bit. I just have a bloated schedule full of games that I need to get to the moment my current is plat’d. I’m gonna enjoy the ride though, that’s for sure. And I appreciate you bringing the game up in the first place… it’s highly unlikely I’d have even tried it otherwise 🍻
@CaptDPostgraduate trophy done! 🥳 Light my Fire trophy glitched! 🤬
Apparently, I just need to keep climbing lighthouses though and it’ll eventually pop… buzzing about Postgraduate though, it’s been on my mind since starting the game. I can now just start levelling my character as I’d like 😅
@graymamba
Nice. I don’t think I had an issue with light my fire, I do recall having to get a few more collectibles than were required.
Good job on postgraduate. That one annoyed me because I felt I couldn’t really get into the game or a character build until it was done. I have seen people suggest leaving it until post game and just get the XP required by grabbing collectibles but I didn’t comfortable with that method.
PS. I didn’t save collectibles til the end or anything, I just picked up whatever along the way then sorted it out post game (mainly tapes I think which was no big deal).
Had my first proper sesh with Generation Zero today (y’kno… like an all-dayer) and really enjoyed my day-off. I do love a big open-world filled with danger and little exposition… just go out there and find your own solutions to the problems that arise.
I have suffered some performance issues though… and that’s after multiple patches and I’m playing on PS5. Thankfully it hasn’t happened in combat yet as I’d have no hope but it is a bit annoying when it strikes and then seemed to affect the frame-rate for around 5 minutes. Still, the positives far outweigh the negatives and if anyone added this with no intention of ever playing it when it was on +, it might be worth a second thought.
Having finished off the Gen Zero plat (& all dlc, which is most unlike me) I’ve decided it’s time for a souls-like. I only played the one last year (Nioh 2) due to me prioritising my ps3 backlog… so it feels about time.
I’ve decided to return to Lords of the Fallen (2014) to finish off its platinum, as I intend to play Lords of the Fallen (2023) later in the year and want the original squared-away first. So I wasn’t the biggest fan of it when I originally played it back in 2018, declaring it my least favourite souls-like… but I’m fairly enjoying my return to it this morning.
Even though I completed a pretty comprehensive playthrough of it 7 years back, there’s still a fair bit of work left to do for that shiny. I have to do another two playthroughs (one with each of the classes I didn’t choose previously) and be sure to select the correct options prior to the final boss to get the two remaining endings.
Gameplay-wise, it’s certainly earned it’s long-held nick-name of clunky-souls… but in this era of super-quick, parry-centric souls-likes, the molasses-like dodge-centric combat is a somewhat pleasant change of pace 😁.
After getting all the mp trophies squared away with @CaptD and @WhiteMoose yesterday, I made a start on the Livelock campaign this evening and while I suffered a few deaths… I’m making decent progress.
It’s a decent little twin-sticker that, while nowhere near the quality of the Housemarque …Nation games that influenced it… is more than good value for the 99p we all spent on it during the last sale.
