If anyone else is giving eFootball a go, thereās currently an event running where you can play your Dream Team against the AI in 10 minute games. Feels great, plays great and the mode is way fairer with the lack of lootboxes.
@Fragile Yeah, 2021 is a solid game especially with the data packs but Iāve been really impressed with how improved this latest patch is. The game was quite frankly garbage when I tried it last year but this ultimate team mode thing is fantastic and the gameplay is superb. Only unhappy they dropped the dive button!

I'm a total sucker for the genre. Own all of Housemarques games since Super Stardust, think Resogun and Nex Machina are the finest ones
@velio84 I was convinced I wouldn't like Spider-Man for that reason but I went ahead and bought the first game and loved it. It's such a good game that it even got me watching the movies, well some of them anyway - I've still not watched the latest 2 š
@KilloWertz@RogerRoger I was waiting for the right time for it because I really want to relish the experience and I know the game isnāt very long, so I just have one shot at enjoying it.
Itās been postponed on my schedule for various reasons, mostly because I didnāt want to put it next to a game that was too similar. Having just played a somber zombie game (TLoU2), a serious Sci-Fi shooter RPG (ME), and a futuristic FPS (Cyberpunk), I think I really need an action heavy, light-hearted game with a lot of verticality and free movement. It might get me in the mood to rewatch No Way Home.
A few early impressions of the game:
It feels great, and although the movement inputs are relatively complex with webslinging, jumping, melee, dodging, and now venom skills, it all flows quite easily. Iām still a bit intimidated by all the new moves on the level tree, but Iām sure Iāll gradually grow into them.
This is my first time to play with the new Peter Parker face. I only played the original launch version of the first game, so it was really off-putting to see the new rendition. Thereās nothing inherently wrong with this new version, but Iām a little disappointed. You get attached to these characters, and how they look is part of the subconscious relationship. Miles looks the same though, so I expect itās just going to be a minor annoyance. I assume Peter doesnāt show up much, if at all, in the rest of the game.
The adaptive triggers are also slightly disappointing. Unless my DualSense is broken (and I did drop it again the other day š¬) I canāt feel much resistance in them. At the very end of pulling them I can feel a hint of feedback, but Iām not sure what thatās supposed to be conveying tactically. Is my DualSense working right? The haptic feedback is quite strong and is pretty good so far. Itās just the triggers that are nigh unnoticeable.
@RogerRoger Thanks for the reassurance on the triggers. It makes sense that there is a legacy of the game and its predecessor coming over from PS4, so perhaps thatās part of it.
Thereās a wonderful kinetic vibe to game that Iāve not felt since Returnal. With all due respect to Commander Shepherd, she moves well, but not being able to jump over an ankle-high obstacle was frustrating sometimes. š

@RogerRoger I actually messed around with photo mode a little while I was playing, but didnāt capture anything noteworthy yet. Iām a pretty basic game photographer, so I typically donāt get too far past the bare bones settings.
So far the game does look great. I stayed with fidelity mode, since itās always easier to go from it to performance, rather than going backward to 30fps after acclimating to the higher frame rate. So far it feels fine at 30 and it should help any photos be a little sharper. I also turned down the film grain, which strangely was a max on default. I will probably try the performance mode for the second playthrough that is apparently required to get the platinum.

Iāve started yet another trophy hunting profile and my first platinum is Miles Morales. Great little gamešš». Going to do planet coaster next alongside a long term platinum run for GT7. I like to have one easier plat run to coincide with a tougher more grindy plat. Yes Iām that sad
Absolutely loving Yakuza 5, almost 50 hours in and I'm like a proud uncle, having Haruka trounce the competition in all 3 rounds of the Princess League. Loved her segment from the story to the gameplay!
@Thrillho Haha loved every second, playing as the new guy now. Can't wait to go back through this one and do a trophy mop up but still plenty story left and it's a cracker, looking forward to that Dome arena gig if it happens and seeing how it all ties together.
