Topic: What (Non-PS4) game are you playing??

@nessisonett I thought underground 2 remix is a lot better than underground 2 because of the addition of a classic mode but I still prefer the purity of the first 4 games

@ralphdibny THUGPro on PC is excellent, it’s a mod for THUG2 that adds basically every level from the series along with online multiplayer. It even has levels from the Toy Story skating game!

@nessisonett I found out about that last night when I was reading up on the games in general. I'd like to try it but I understand that it is multiplayer only? Does it not recreate the different goals of each level as well for single player?

@ralphdibny Nah, there aren’t any goals but there’s free skate and multiplayer. It’s more impressive because they’ve recreated every Neversoft level but I do admit that having goals would definitely make it better.

@nessisonett it's definitely worth me checking out at some point I think

@RogerRoger oh yeah I sort of half knew about that, Nolan North played rocket raccoon in a guardians of the galaxy cartoon with a cockney accent too, or maybe it was like an avengers cartoon with a guest appearance possibly before Bradley cooper owned the role in the films. Though I'm pretty sure when he reprised rocket in other media like possibly the gotg telltale game, he made rocket sound alot more like Bradley Cooper's interpretation

Sorry a lot of ifs, maybes and possiblys in that statement, I wrote from memory so I can't confirm anything I have said!

@RogerRoger yep just checked and cockney rocket was actually voiced by somebody else, Nolan North doesn't appear to have voiced him until the telltale game, please disregard my previous post

@RogerRoger yeah he is really good, I'd love to get into voice acting somehow, it seems like a really fun gig and I'm always doing different voices to entertain people though my girlfriend has gotten a bit wound up at me saying "pupa scooper" in a Geordie accent every time we fight the the pupa AI in mgs peace walker lol

Started playing The Swapper on my Vita today. I was recommended to use headphones while playing so I am doing that, pretty good fun so far.

It's all about the puzzles but there's a curious narrative going on in the background which is always fun to see. I always enjoy it when games put the extra effort in for some cool world building.

@KratosMD If you think the knock back is annoying, you clearly haven’t played Classicvania! At least in this game there aren’t instant death pits at every opportunity and only a few lives. I dunno about it being sluggish though, Alucard’s animations are really smooth for pixel art and your traversal’s obviously going to be limited until you get more upgrades. I think SotN and SCIV are the smoothest the series has ever played to be honest.

@KratosMD Please let me know if you find a use for his weird back dash thing, I found it utterly useless except for moving across the room quickly.

@nessisonett Pretty much that and maybe using it to avoid certain attacks.

@KratosMD Ooh, I’ve been really interested in Layers of Fear so good to hear you’re enjoying it! Playing in the dark with headphones is the sort of thing I wish I could do but I’m a wuss 😂😂

@KratosMD Yeah but the RPG element can make it a bit easy. If there is a particular boss that you can't get past, all you have to do is go grind out some levels even to the point where you are much stronger then the boss.

@Genrou It’s not too bad in SotN compared to Circle of the Moon. Loved that game but oh lord, you need to grind. It’s 100% required to get to a certain level otherwise you’ll just get destroyed time and time again. RPG elements can both make or break a game, especially with games like Metroidvanias.

@KratosMD The majority of the castle, you say? Just wait, all will become clear soon 😉

@KratosMD I was in two minds about saying anything, I really didn’t want to spoil the game but I also wouldn’t want you to be unmotivated!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Both the Abe PS1 games had pretty tricky secret mudokon areas on the first which I always thought was a tad harsh.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy The farting trophy in the PS4 version made me chuckle!

Since I already had dug out my PS1 games to play the Tony Hawk games, I decided to attempt the original Tekken since I just had memories of getting murdered over and over. It’s still impossible, I just get ruined by the AI every single time. Oh well, I booted up Myst instead and that’s... slow. Very very slow.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I just used to get really miffed playing the original at the time as to why there were so many mudokens I hadn't saved when escaping Rapture Farm. It never occurred to me at the time that there would be hidden ones..
