Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 606

Dalamar

Greetings, good people.

I'm still plowing through Ghost of Yogurt, and it's much longer than I anticipated. Either I'm extremely slow, or howlongtobeat lied to me, I'm only in the third region and the timer already shows almost 40 hours. In the beginning I really enjoyed the gameplay loop, but now I just want to be done with it and return to Ninja Gaiden 4.

Other than that, I'm having a wonderful time with Once Upon a Katamari, it's a delightful little game. It might be the best entry in the series, it has everything that I love about Katamari: songs, humour, variety - abundance of all. Play it if you ever liked Katamari.

That's all for now, have a great weekend.

Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?

Dalamar

While graphics and gameplay in Yotei are improvements over Tsushima, it's honestly not by much. And it's not because Yotei looks bad, but because Tsushima is unbelievably pretty for a PS4 game. And while gameplay is more refined and varied, I was quite disappointed with the new weapon system. It's not that I expected Nioh level or something, but it's just the same shape block puzzle for toddlers as Jin's stances were, the only difference is animation.
And while I'm only 35 hours in and can't speak for the whole story, I definitely prefer Jin over Atsu because of his transformation from samurai to ghost. Compared to that, Atsu has no character growth, simply because of the game open system that does nothing good, but hurts the writing.

Re: Review in Progress: Dispatch (PS5) - Interactive Superhero Show Could Be Something Special

>If you're not a fan of copious amounts of swearing and constant references to current cultural trends, you'll probably bounce off Dispatch within a matter of minutes — it won't matter if the characters strike a chord or not. It's very American and it's very quippy, and that certainly won't be to everyone's tastes.

My sincere gratitude for mentioning this - I won't be touching this game.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Ninja Gaiden 4?

I have it on gamepass, played through first level today. On negative side, it's clear that NG4 is Platinum game, not Team Ninja game. Telegraphed attacks, exclamation marks, meters, perfect dodges, perfect blocks, male Viola for MC and all that *****. On positive side, hard difficulty is still challenging, izuna dropping has never been not fun, and the first boss battle was awesome.
