@Jimmer-jammer yeah even though I’m not from your neck-of-the-woods cheese ball vibe suits it pretty well to be fair.
Just popped back on to have a crack at the Aerial Predator trophy, which is both highly missable and supposedly the most annoying trophy in the list. I’d finished up my first session just as I’d mounted my flying steed this morning and had been doing a bit of research/prep here and there when the missus was preparing supper etc. Got it first time and hung the controller up for the night pretty happy.
Really enjoying my time with Darksiders… must be about halfway through now and the game just gets more fun, the more abilities you unlock.
It’s a classic example of something being greater than the sum if it’s parts, as if you were to critique each individual aspect of the game, I don’t think many would figure above serviceable (though no worse neither) but when it’s all put together, it works.
@graymamba Yeah I can remember (just about) when I played it, it did nothing spectacular and borrowed a lot of elements from other games. But I still really enjoyed it.
The only other game in the series I played was Genesis, but was not overly keen on 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.
@graymamba
I didn’t really get on with D1 but I did like D2 and even more D3 which I think was fairly universally panned.
I haven’t played Genesis (the game not the band).
@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.
