@Th3solution Just over 33 hours! That’s with all the riddles so it’s a bit of a commitment for that but I don’t doubt you could rush through the story.
@Th3solution My schedule went to pot as I suspected it would. I got to the sixth dungeon I think in Persona 5 Royal, beat Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, started God of War, beat Resident Evil, played a couple of little indie puzzle games, went back to God of War, did another Persona dungeon, started Super Mario 3D World, and now I'm playing Shenmue 2. Honestly it's chaos.
@johncalmc 😂 Fair enough. I’ve been known to veer from my plans too. Although you’ve done a bit more than veer there.
On the subject of Resident Evil, I do wonder if you’ll enjoy the two recent remakes of 2 and 3. I can’t remember if you said you’ve played them before, but you’re in for a treat. Modernized controls is at the center of their upgrades, and although I quite enjoyed RE 1’s less ambitious updates, REmake 2 and 3 were phenomenal in my opinion.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I have played them both and they're both good. 2 in particular is excellent, but I felt they kinda undercooked the four campaigns a bit. In the original, the B run was way different to the A one but in this one it was all just the same thing pretty much. They don't even make sense as two halves of the same story where they kinda almost did in the original.
I actually preferred 3 in this way. It was just like here's five hours of zombies and chases and silliness. 2 would have been better if they'd not bothered with the four campaigns since I was looking forward to them and then disappointed in the end.
Beat Arkham Knight on New Game +. Really not often that I replay a game immediately just fit the trophy but it’s just such a blast to play and the harder difficulty actually made it more fun as it encouraged me to utilise all the tools. Just got a couple trophies left and then that’ll be the platinum, and I can move onto the DLC.
Just finished Castlevania (JP) in the Anniversary Collection on Switch. I've already finished the first Castlevania once on Wii U but because I was playing the EU version, I found it incredibly difficult and had to save state very often. So I wanted to give it another try without having to save state so much. I gave the JP version in the Anniversary Collection a try, which has an optional Easy mode where the protagonist doesn't get knocked back from enemies, can take more hits, you have more lives and is in general much easier than the obligatory Normal mode that the West got. And I managed to beat the game in one sitting without save stating except at the final boss but even then I didn't need to because I still had a few extra lives left before I beat it. It only took an hour, while my playtrough of the EU version took several hours because it was so hard. Even though it was easier, I feel content with moving away from this game now since I've beat it on both Easy and Normal now.
So if anyone's intimidated by the steep difficulty of the first Castlevania, I highly recommend buying the Anniversary Collection and playing the JP version on Easy for a much less frustrating experience.
Credits just rolled on Yakuza 5 and I'm an absolute mess 😂. Who'd have thought a game that's primarily about shirtless men punching each other could be so moving. One heck of an epic finale!
Finished up the DLC for Arkham Knight and that’s me probably done with the whole game now. Some were better than others. The Harley Quinn and Red Hood ones were really short but the gameplay twists were quite fun. The Nightwing and Robin ones were a bit longer but they both play quite similarly to Batman. Catwoman’s one was probably the hardest bit of content I’ve played in the entire Arkham series. Easily the best of the bunch was Batgirl’s one. In fact, it was so good that I’m genuinely a bit annoyed about the fact she was fridged from the start, meaning we won’t get a solo game starring Batgirl. Thinking about it, there aren’t any superhero games starring a female superhero which is crazy. It was a nice change of pace getting away from the machismo which is inevitable with Batman.
Just got all (3) trophies for Bugsnax: The Isle of Bigsnax.
Surprisingly only one of them is actually connected to the Isle but all 3 are for the new content - which, tbh added more to the game than I expected.
While the DLC only adds one new area (with a bit of story, new snax and a boss fight at the end), it also adds the mailbox, that can keep one occupied for quite a while, as well as hats to collect and give to bugsnax donated to Gramble's ranch. Makes a good game even better. Good job.
@RogerRoger Yeah, the Season of Infamy ones were just part of my playthrough, they slot in really naturally. I liked them for the most part, even if a couple did feel a bit quick, although not as rushed as the Deacon Blackfire one! I did all of the movie based Batmobile tracks in order to get the AR stars for the trophy, they were a lot more fun than the predator missions 😂
