Topic: Games you've recently beat

If there is a desire, no one will bother to return

@Kidfried Yeah, they could have stretched the final section out for a whole other game. I honestly felt that it was one of the tightest experiences I’ve played in a long time though and I’m glad I spent my money on it.

@colonelkilgore Hey man! I just beat MGS3: Snake Eater over the weekend. My goodness, my goodness what a game. A timeless piece of art, masterful in every single way. I remember discussing it with you but I can't remember if it's your first playthrough through the series. This was my first time ever playing this game and at the end it became a top 5 of all time taking the spot of the Red Dead Redemption series. I. Love. This. Game. Anything I wanna talk about is spoilers so I'll be waiting on you my friend! I just started the first hour of MGS4, and it went up from top 5 to top 3, moving God of War to number 4. Even though I can't talk about my favorite story beats, I can share with you probably my favorite part of the game, the main theme. Give a listen and tell me what you think! Or maybe you heard it before and it'll be a wave of nostalgia.

@RogerRoger Much love brother

@RogerRoger I really think you should! MGS2-4, Peace Walker, Rising, and MGS5 are all on PS Now which where I'm playing now. Two things already sold MGS4 for me. His suit and the iPod!! I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion to this wonderful story and experience Kojima and crew crafted.

@TraCuz- I was supposed to have started it today but both my co-op partner and I were free today so we ‘played Remnant from the Ashes instead. It will be my first playthru too... I’ve played V and Peace Walker but none of the others. Hopefully I will have cleared all of them from the backlog by the time 2021 draws to a close.

@colonelkilgore Ahh okay and honestly going back and playing a game from that era I really appreciate how small the games were. Both MGS2&3 are about 12-15 hours each so that made it really manageable. Can't wait for the discussion later this year!

@RogerRoger There's no price that can equal their greatness. I will say a nice perspective of playing them all 20 years later is not having to wait years for the release of the next game. As you know these games are keen on little details so being able to play them back to back makes them feel very cohesive.

So I recently beat this small game, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's called The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? In all seriousness, this is a masterpiece. Not my favourite game of all time (That would be mario odyssey) because some parts like Zelda's terrible voice acting and the weapon durability system are pretty annoying but literally everything else is fantastic. I can see why this was given so many awards and 10/10 reviews. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves zelda or open world games.

@Jackpaza0508 Glad you had such a good time! Breath of the Wild truly does live up to all the hype, to me that game is the pinnacle of exploration and discovery. Still to this day I'm amazed at how huge the map is, I did not expect that much density from my little Switch.

From the first time you glide, to the first time you use the Sheikah slate, to the first korok seed, to the first elemental weapon, the first guardian encounter, the first time trying to figure out how to get into Hyrule Castle, the first time I figured out why I kept getting struck by lighting, to my first dragon sighting, my first shield surf, I can go on and on. I have so many fond memories with this game, I love it to pieces. What's some of your favorite moments friend?

@TraCuz- My favourite moment was probably performing my first perfect dodge and deflecting a beam right back at a guardian. I felt so powerful!

@TraCuz- I'm glad you did end up enjoying MGS3; who knew a game could make climbing a ladder so iconic??

Like you said in your initial thoughts, the camo mechanism is pretty unique and works really well. The healing mechanics are equally unique but I can't say I was too upset that it didn't catch on in other games..

How did your fight with The End go? That's one of my favourite boss fights in the series.

@Jackpaza0508 100%! There's nothing like dodging Lynel attacks and hitting him with that flurry! And what timing it takes to deflect that beam

@Thrillho That ladder scene was amazing, the music caught me off guard. It was dope how they added reverb to her voice to simulate the ladder well. I concur with your thoughts on healing mechanics. I liked the design of The End fight for its era, but after playing so many modern games it felt tedious chasing him from area to area because of Snake's slow movement speed, but I did like the fight. Least favorite was The Fury!! Even though it's probably the easiest when you figure out. When you don't know yet it was beyond frustrating. I absolutely loved the motorcycle shootout with Eva, chef kiss.

Oddly enough, I'm overjoyed to finally get through Undertale. Both options for passing

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Honestly, your experience seems to be so similar to my uncle and brother’s that I just don’t know if I’d even play it after the PS5 version releases. Their problems weren’t even just to do with the bugs but a general underwhelming feeling from traversing the world and especially the main story feeling under-baked.

@nessisonett I share the same sentiments. I pre-ordered the game and was excited to try it after getting off work on launch day but you couldn't scroll for 3 seconds before the overwhelming truth was on every media site. I ultimately never even booted the game up and got my refund, I have zero interest in the PS5 version. Not really anything they can do to pull me back in, really sickens me they were able to sell 13m+ copies.

I seem to have beaten Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Strangely. I feel like I’ve been playing it for an age and then all of a sudden it was over. There wasn’t even a final boss due to my choices! Ah well, I saved the whole family and I still have a couple other quest lines to finish, along with DLC and the platinum!

Fallout Shelter, Infamous First Light, Timespinner, Blackwood Crossing thats the games i Platinumed. And i finished Dear Esther.

Completed Spider-man Remastered and all its dlc, yesterday. I've really enjoyed it (I never played the original PS4 game), but I was definitely ready to be done with it before the end of the dlc.

@nessisonett I felt that way about Odyssey. I had no idea I'd finished it. It's quite bizarre.

Anyway, I've recently played Persona 5 Strikers and Maneater, both of which are alright.
