@RogerRoger@TheLightSpirit I had Rogue Agent on GameCube back in the day and it’s hilarious seeing it on 2 discs as if it’s some kind of massive AAA experience when it’s just a bit terrible! I remember it being really hard too, especially the Golden Gate Bridge level. The multiplayer was quite fun though as there were some silly weapons to use.
@RogerRoger Yep, Hoover Dam sounds about right. I knew the Golden Gate Bridge was in there somewhere! The dual-wielding mechanic was actually pretty good for the time to be honest. The whole ‘golden eye powers’ thing is just bonkers though.
My wee brother finished his home schooling stuff a bit early today so we played a game of the original Mario Party. Even on easy difficulty we got slaughtered by Peach. I’m trying to find a good retro game we can work our way through in co-op that isn’t too hideously overpriced these days but not sure what’s out there that isn’t a beat-em-up. I was thinking maybe Toejam & Earl but it’s really weird and esoteric. Zombies Ate My Neighbours is another possibility. Also strangely tempted to bring out The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on GameCube from storage, I remember that being great fun!
I started up Ori and The Blind Forest, after my time spent on Hollow Knight and... it's fine. Controls feel a bit floaty. So I then booted up Hollow Knight again on Switch and have put another 4 hours into that. I think I may have a problem.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Rudy_Manchego I agree with you there - the controls feel very floaty and it didn't click with me at all. I also didn't like the melodramatic Disnified sentiment, but I guess I'm just a miserable git!
@ShaiHulud Glad it is not just me. It's a good game but finding it hard coming from one platformer to this one. The sentiment is... well, it has kind of become a bit of an indie subgenre itself. I guess the original is one of the first to do it but I have seen quite a few similar themed and looking games.

@Thrillho Ha ha - well, I have a couple of Yakuza games on the backlog - I think I have Zero and the one that was one PS Plus but they seem like pretty big time sinks (in a good way).
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Thrillho Have you actually played through all 8 (? Including Judgement) Yakuza games?
I feel like its a fairly short list of people who have accomplished that feat. @Rudy_Manchego Time sink is definitely an appropriate descriptor.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Rudy_Manchego If you ever stop playing Hollow Knight, maybe. But at this rate I envision you at the retirement home 50 years from now still trying to finish that post-game content in Hollow Knight.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I have played Zero through to 4 so far and am in the midst of 5 now.
As well as Judgement (which I've bought but not played), there's also the new game Like a Dragon to make it nine main games. In addition, there's Fist of the North Star which is a completely different game but made by the same people with similar features so often gets thrown in with the Yakuza games but even more weirdly there is also the very non-canon Yakuza: Dead Souls too!
@Thrillho Yeah, I’m lousy at math. I remembered Like a Dragon as effectively being Yakuza 7, but forgot that the games start with number 0, not with 1. 😅
But yes, I did Fist of the North Star which seems a cousin of the franchise and I do remember seeing that Yakuza Dead Souls is an offshoot that kind of critically and commercially fell flat, from what I remember.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I only got into the games on this (or is that the previous?) gen with Y0 so I never really knew about Souls at the time. Like you say, it sounds like it flopped though as it went away from what makes the main series. It also sounds like they had the very bizarre idea of bringing it out around the same time as Y4 as well which probably wouldn't have helped (although the game did get delayed in the end).
Started Dead Space 3 earlier... didn’t do much, just the Prologue and Chapter 1 but loved it. Always been a bit weary of it due to the hate it received at launch but so far so Dead Space.
