@Uromastryx yeah i actually quite like 50 as a rapper and as a human too. He seems like a decent guy in a pretty corrupt industry. This should be a fun watch never the less. Warrior was awsome. Im off to get some sticky ๐
@Rich33 its like a mash up of the most diverse actors/entertainers ever. Alan Ritchson as guile tho? That guy is huuuuge. Chun Li gets my vote tho. Got wo pump those thighs up tho ๐
@Uromastryx yeah i agree. Koji is a good martial artist and a pretty good actor. Imo he ahould have been cast a Kiryu in the Yakuza series. I heard they went with 50 as Balrog as Diddy wasnt available ๐
@Hylian-Likely that gave me a chuckle. Hoope your copy turns up soon. Its a fantastic game.
@thefourfoldroot1 it defenately takes some time to get going and you WILL be walking ALOT. It kinda feels a bit like MGSV in the way you move around but the terrain is tougher and you have to constantly consider the weight your carrying. Heavier stuff on top, the more you carry will make you less likely to be put off balance etc. Do you really need to take 2 assault rifles and a pistol on thr next mission adding to your carrying weight or leave some gear behing and bulk up on goodies and minerals you see out in the wild etc? I wouldnt have had the time to go through the first game so i just watched a 1.5 hr deep catch up.
As someone that didnt like the look of the first game (i thought it looked boring) i decided to go for this after hearing it moves at a better pace and theres more action and im loving it. Graphically it just looks rediculous, even on the base ps5. Im glad Kojima isnt pandering to the same old, same old and is making exactly what he wants to.
Complete opposite for me. I didnt go for the first one as i didnt like the sound of the "walking sim" style of gameplay but hearing people say the 2nd is more refined with more action i decided to go for it after watcing an hour and a half deep story catch up of the 1st game. Man is it good! Chapter 3 now and im loving it. Sure, to start with its slow and their IS alot of walking involved but its not like before you have access to transportation. Sitting at a 9/10 for me. Wished id got the first one when it came out. No time to play it now hence the deep catch up.
@AdamNovice looks like he practicing his wax on, wax off to me ๐
Those costumes tho ๐ฅ๐ฅ but AKI need to use less sun block. Maybe she could ask Cammy what she uses instead ๐
Didnt play the first, had no real interest but this looks insanely good. So much so that i went and watxhed a catch up video on youtube and even the story in the first game seemed really good. Confusing in a classic Kojima way but i wish i had given it a go back then. I fear if i try it now i wont ever get the 2nd started so another indepth catch up and i will grab the 2nd come payday.
Really wish i could get in to this game. Got to the "House" but it just wasnt gelling with me. Sounds silly but i found the combat a little too deep for my liking. Glad its selling well tho.
@LiamCroft dont want to read the reviews as to spoil anything but will it make sense to someone thsts never played the first game. I didnt ever get around to playing it and feel its too much of a time sink to start now. May be a youtube recap would do the trick?
After a few weeks gaming lull (my yearly "i really dont fancy playing anythin") i decided to upgrade to the switch OLED as opposed to being an early adopter of switch 2. Its got me gaming again. Metroid dread and Pokemon Arceus mainly.
This is how you treat your staff. We earnt over 200 mil last year and when the boss asked for ยฃ100 to take the staff out for a christmas drink he was told "no, its not in the budget" ๐ I like the old saying of "look after your staff and your staff will look after your company"
@Lowdefal the first one was so janky for the DC. I remember being about 14 and one of the lines a woman said to an approaching monster was "Dont come, dont come" gave me and my buddies a chuckle. Great game with the DC gun overall tho.
These games will always be useless without a lightgun. I miss playing Die hard 2 from the Die hard trilogy. Such a great lightgun game. Shame screens now days dont support the feature. I agree tho VR would be the perfect fit to release some of these games. Is sony dropped all the Time crisis games when the PSVR2 launched they would have printed money.
@Northern_munkey This looks like a good game. Im not very good a shoot em ups at all and easily get overwhelmed by enemy fire or too much going on all at once so bullet hells are out of the question. I got one on switch the other day to go with my new arcade stick as it was ยฃ1.98 reduced from ยฃ9.99 but only got to the 3rd level. I might just have to stick to beat em ups lol. Hopefully when my adaptor comes i can bring my stick over to PS5 too. There are so many shooters/fighters on the switch its rediculous.
@Flaming_Kaiser the cabiney is pushed back quite far to the wall, about 1 inch away. Without the fans i dont think i would get the required air flow. I just UBD them to the rear of the ps5. When it comes on so do the whisper fans. As lovely as my wife is she doesnt share my love for gaming or collecting various consoles and handhelds ๐
Ive had the arcade stick out lately so i will just play some street fighter collection and maybe pick up marvel vs capcom. Cant really be bothered with heavy gaming atm.
@Flaming_Kaiser unfortunately for me an open ventilated space is out of the question as my wife doesn't want consoles etc on show and neither do i really. I want minimal clutter lol. Ive never had a problem with my PS5 getting hot or noisy at all personally and i will every 3 or 4 months clean out the fans.
@Rob_230 maybe get one of those fans that clip on the back fo push more air in. I keep mine in a cupboard with the door closed and i have mounted 2 USB PC fans in the back. 1 blowing in on the intake and one sucking out by the exhaust. Its cool when i open the door and i dont hear a thing.
I have completed most of the halo games but didnt love any of them. Completed the first one multiple times (origional and MCC) so if thats what they are bringing to the table then im deffo not eating.
@Jrs1 shame you didnt get in to PGA. I DONT watch or play sport games at all and i put 156 hours in to it and got the plat. Even my wife would play 2 player with me. I was pi##ed when she got a hole in 1 before me. She made me save a video clip too ๐
EA PGA is a great game for golf fans at that price and i really enjoyed MK11. I have however picked up TLOUII and 2 point museum cheap from Amazon ยฃ22 and ยฃ18 so i really dont need to get anything else atm. Not if i dont want the wife to turn my balls in to a pair of Earings anyway.
@PuppetMaster "And if you can find the bluray copy, i also would reccomend some titles like Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, Cowboy Bebop: Knockin on' Heaven's Door, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, and Paprika" Came here to say i loved Ninja scroll, VHD and Street fighter as a kid. I also loved the Crying freeman series. I had those on triple VHS.
After a few weeks of going off gaming and only playing for the odd 10 minutes before "i really cant be bothered" sets in im starting to go through the Mass Effect trilogy via the legacy collection. Apart from that not alot really.
@get2sammyb i use the Miyoo mini + for anything not needing a stick but Ive got the RP4 pro for everything else and cant stand it. For anything that uses sticks i just find them overly sensitive. Sensitive isnt the word really as its more the ease of travel and the ahort distance until you hit full tilt the sticks have. Games like Fzero GX and waverace just dont feel good to play on it. Either not responsive enough or too sensitive.
Yeah id love to see a tiered list maybe games from 99p-ยฃ5, ยฃ5-ยฃ10, ยฃ10-ยฃ15 etc. Ive really started to change the way i purchase now very rarely going for games day 1 and have found some great games in the lower price ranges.
@Northern_munkey yeah man, you too. Ive been toying with another wheel but i just dont have the room for another complete rig. I do regret selling mine but it just wasnt getting the use.
@Northern_munkey same here. Ive thought about getting one over the last couple of months but have come to thr same conclusion as you. I dont need one. Especially at a time where ive been getting gamers block and just dont really fancy playing anything atm.
Yeah i will. Its not alot and the challenges were terrible implemented but it was nice to get a little back on digital purchases to put towards a ยฃ5 or ยฃ10 voucher. Oh well, i will go back to buying cheap credit from online retailers and waiting for deeper sales.
