@Shepherd_Tallon Hi there friend.
Golden Axe. A game series I haven´t heard in awhile. Used to play all three game back to back on my Sega MegaDrive (Genesis).
I knew those games and how to beat enemies and Bosses like the palm of my hand, back when was a kid. Good times.
Well, I guess you could say Shadow of Mordor and War are kinda the "modern" version of those games.
I think you can get Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara on Steam. It is more close to the Old school sprite games.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
Honestly, I haven´t felt the will to play videogames that much lately. Just watching some tv shows mostly.
But I decided to go back to Returnal and get the True ending and eventualy the Platinum trophy.
And...... The game is kicking my ass, just like in the begining 😜
I need to get my mojo back.
But man, if the game isn´t super fun. Because it is. A lot.
Might also do more Guilty Gear Strive online matches.
I´m just waiting for Tales of Arise and Deathloop to be honest.
Oh, and the PS5 showcase next week. Really hope it´s good.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll be finishing Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island dlc, check out Jack-O in Guilty Gear Strive and continue my
Mass Effect 2 FemShep, Renegade, Infiltrator Insanity run.
Because why not. It´s Mass Effect and I love it 👍

@KingPev Hwy friend.
Man, that would be beyond awesome.
Legacy of Kain series have some of the very best character dialogue and voice acting in a videogame.

  • Raziel: Ah, my ancient "benefactor". And I dared to hope we had parted ways forever. Your silence was refreshing while it lasted. No doubt you have a conveniently inexpressible reason for your presence here?
  • Elder God: Do not be insolent, Raziel. I am eternally present, here and everywhere, now and always. I am the still centre of the turning Wheel, the hub of this world's destiny.
  • Raziel: But perhaps not so omnipotent as you'd have me believe. Your hold on me appears to be tenuous. I no longer seem to need you – yet I'm guessing you still need me.
    Just a small example.
    Oh, Soul Reaver, in my opinion, still has, to this day, the most iconic, beautiful, amazing, cinematic intro of a videogame.
    Cheers, stay safe and all the best

Re: Devil May Cry Series Celebrates 20th Anniversary

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
Happy birthday to Dante and the DMC franchise.
As a fan of the series (If my alias doesn´t give it away) I played trough all of them and....... Yeah, there are some discrepancies.
My favourites in order are:

  • DMC1. The game that showed me how cool, cocky and awesome Dante is. Also because it was like a Action oriented Resident Evil. Because it was suposed to be one.
  • DMC3 Special Edition. Dante is even more cocky than before and you can play as Vergil. And that Intro though!!!! Fantastic!
  • DmC. There are some very cool ideas for level an Boss design in this game. Like the Disco level and Bob Vargas Boss fight.
  • DMCV. Mostly because it adresses the main characters backstory and their relationships.
    And Devil Trigger. And Bury the light. Yep, that´s it.
    Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 390

RaZieLDaNtE

@KingPev Hi there friend.
DMC games really pushes you to be at least good at them and on higher difficulties it can be literally "Hell".
But only if you want to challenge yourself.
Kinda like doing that ME1 Insanity run, same way I did 😉
It really made me apreciate the remastered version of ME1 even more. And how amazing the world building and storytelling is. Bioware set the Bar almost to High with it.
Now if only Soul Reaver and the Legacy of Kain saga had the same treatment and care.......
What I wouldn´t give for a proper remake and a following of the story........ Oh well 🤷‍♂️
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@tselliot Hi there friend.
That sucks, but at least you were able to get it to work.
I think the "repeat" option came with the latest update and it´s a really good addition to the game, especialy for me, since I love the Duels in this game.
And yes, it is an AWESOME videogame. One of the best.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut?

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
Yes, I upgraded to Director's Cut on PS5 and yes I want all the DualSense shenanigans and most importantly, the Iki Island expansion.
I will be ALL over it this weekend. Time to gallop to the sun rise with my trusty Kage and take pictures of everything.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all

@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend.
Ha, knew you were going to like it.
But I have to agree with @TheArt Garrus as a character, with is iconic voice lines, is unbeatable.
That´s your best bro, right there.
Love their friendship with MaleShep and romance with FemShep.
Mass Effect has some of the best written characters and party members in a videogame.
Cheers, stay safe and both of you have a good one 👍

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 390

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
After finishing my ME Adept, Renegade, Insanity run, I was going for a ME2 Infiltrator, Renegade, Insanity run.
But......
So, there is this expansion for my personal GOTY with an uprade for PS5, so.......... I´ll be playing that. That´s it.
I love that you can repeat the duels now.
I repeated pretty must all of them while I was remembering how to play this game again in Lethal difficulty.
It´s so fun....... When the CPU doesn´t cheat 😜
(spoiler)Man, Kojiro and Lady Masako are tough(/spoiler)

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Returns, Looks Utterly Jaw-Dropping in New Gameplay Video

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
Man, this looks absolutely stunning!
The phisics, the environments, the animations, the Bosses......
If Game Science can make this game run like this, at 60fps, on a PS5, then they will become my new favourite dev team.
I kinda wish the "player" was better though.......
Will be keeping both eyes on this one.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all

Re: The Tales of Arise PS5, PS4 Demo Is Available to Download Now

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
Tried the demo, finished twice and it felt really good.
The combat is pretty cool and flashy, but I would have prefered if we could have started a few hours in the begining so we could have learned more about the battle system mechanics.
But Alphen and Law (the two that I finished the demo with) are super fun to play as.
And man, is the game pretty. This is what a high budget Tales of looks like. And it looks GOOD.
Kinda wanna play the demo with again, but this time with Kisara and Dohalim.
Also, loved the party dialogue scenes. Quirky and lovable as ithey should be. Can´t wait for the full game.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

@RogerRoger Hi there friend.
Yes, my name is Solid Snake, "Son" of Big Boss, Naked Snake, "Brother" of Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake........

Not really 😜 Actually my first name is David, just like Snake´s real name when he tells Otacon, Hal Emmerich, in a dialogue scene if you do something specific in the game 😉
It would be funny if I was called Solid David Pederneira Snake.
Cheers, stay safe and thank you for the laughs

Re: Hades Dev Says Returnal Is One of His Favourite Games This Year

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
Two of the most amazing rogue like games.
Hades is soooo good. Fantastic art style, great characters and the part that still gets me.
I´ve done 96 runs and there is always new dialogue.
Not once have I seen or heard the same lines. Not Once.
How is that even possible? SuperGiant Games rules.
And Returnal is exactely what I wanted from Housemarque.
An awesome, addictive, fun and challenging shooter with a very compelling story done right. Still have to Platinum the game.
It is great to see both devs enjoying and praising both games.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 Looks Better Than Ever in 4K Upscaled Trailer

RaZieLDaNtE

@Carl-G Hi there friend.
You are absolutely right. The Metal Gear Saga is one of the very best gaming sagas of all time.
And yes, before the amazing Dualsense and it´s fantastic haptic feedback, you could almost feel the rain outside the Tanker chapter in MGS2. Snake could even get a cold for staying outside too long. Just like in MGS1 in the area of Sniper Wolf.
Man, those games are so awesome.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 Looks Better Than Ever in 4K Upscaled Trailer

RaZieLDaNtE

@RogerRoger Hi there friend.
Like I said before, Raiden became a fan favourite for a lot of people, especially after MGR: Revengeance and it´s awesome OST.
Having said that, for me personaly, it has to be Solid Snake with Big Boss a close second.
I mean, he even has the same name as I have as well as he´s iconic english voice actor 😜 So there is that.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 Looks Better Than Ever in 4K Upscaled Trailer

RaZieLDaNtE

@AdamNovice Hi there friend.
I´ve watched "that" trailer so many times before I got my PS2 with Zone of the Enders, great game by the way, and the MGS2 demo.
I still remember being completely flabbergasted with the Intro on the brige. It was so impressive at the time, that I invited some friends and family members to watch it with me.
They thought it was a movie at first.
And it very divisive with the Raiden being the "protagonist" instead of Snake. Kojima was very "sneaky" about it.
It is still a great game and Raiden actually became a fan favourite over the years.
And yes, Kojima was absolutely right about his prediction of the future. People can say whatever they want, but the man is a visionary.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@naruball @KingPev Hi there friends and thank you both.
It really is one of the weirdest things. Aparently some people have the same issue with one controler, but not with their other one.
Also @KingPev glad you decided to get Returnal.
It is challenging, but super fun and addictive 👍
Just play the game slow and learn all the mechanics and enemies patterns. You´ll get there.
Cheers, stay safe you guys and have a good one

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389

@naruball @KingPev Hi there friends.
I absolutely loved Control Ultimate on my PC.
There are some amazing gaming moments.
Sadly, I can´t seem to play the game on my PS5.
For some reason, I can´t "control" Jessie normaly. She either stops moving or starts walking when I want her to run or sprint.
It´s very weird. Even more because that is the only game were it happens. No problem playing Ratchet, Returnal, Nioh2 and others. I want to Platinum the game, but like this it´s impossible..... 🤷‍♂️

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389

@pocketjazz Hey there.
I see what you mean. Breath of the Wild is so good and really fun to just go anywere and explore to your own accord.
Have like 167 hours on it.
RDR2 is also phenomenal in both characters and world building. I do have some gripes with it´s gameplay mechanics though.
Also agree with you on Lance Reddick. He was great in Fringe as well. Loved that tv show.
JFO is quite probably the Best Star Wars game I´ve ever played.
Loved that it had similar combat mechanics as Sekiro.
And that end Boss fight...... You know the one. Great moment.
Ghost of Tsushima is my personal GOTY, so there is that.
And Control is awesome. Super fun videogame.
I really want Remedy to continue working in that universe.
You have good taste my friend. Just like me 😉
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389

@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Long time.
You are going to love ME2. With all of your choices from ME1, the great cast of characters, a very companion driven game, the awesome Lair of the Shadow Broker dlc, and that Final Mission that is SO GOOD.
A few tips:

  • Always get the party members upgrades for the ship and grind for materials if you need;
  • Make sure you Paragon or Renegade points are high;
  • Do all of your party members loyalty missions. They are some of the best missions of the game and will help you later;
  • Have different save files. One mistake can cost you a life.
    Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend

@pocketjazz Hello friend. I personaly loved HZD.
The gameplay, graphics, the setting and story really got me.
I´m curious to know what didn´t click with you.
And you played some of my favourite games like

  • Jedi Fallen Order
  • Last of Us Remastered
  • Super Mario 3D World
  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • Limbo / Inside
  • Ghost of Tsushima
  • Control
    Just to name a few. And you played all of those without rushing them? Nice.
    I should also get back to Sackboy. I was really enjoying it.
    Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389

RaZieLDaNtE

@pocketjazz Hi there friend.
Wow, that´s a really good list.
My 3 sugestions to you are:

  • Returnal. If you like action, challenging arcade shooters with amazing and fun gameplay and a quite interesting story. Until I finished, it was all I could think about. Just one more run 😉
  • God of War. I mean, it´s one of the best games ever made. It´s games like this that I live for. So to speak;
  • Hollow Knight. This was another that consume me until the end. Possibly the best MetroidVania game I´ve ever played. After Super Metroid and Castlevania Symphony of the Night, two absolutely amazing games, that is saying something.
    PS: that is an amazing list of games you´ve played this year my friend 👍
    Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
Another weekend is upon us.
I´ll be continuing my Mass Effect 1 Adept Renegade Insanity run.
I´ve actually did two missions today I´ve never done before.
Crazy that even after 7 full trilogy playtroughs, I´m still finding new stuff. No wonder ME1 is my personal favourite.
Also play more online matches in Guilty Gear Strive.
I´m currently on Floor 9 with Ky, but this seems to be my limit.
We can´t all be fighting game Gods 😜
I might go back to Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. I was really enjoying the game. I get now why people like this franchise that much since the PS2 era. Mine was Jak and Daxter.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@naruball @Nightcrawler71 Hi there friends.
Congrats on getting your own PS5. Another friend of mine was able to get his to a few days ago. He is super esctatic about it and enjoying Demon´s Souls.
I would recomend both Returnal and Ratchet&Clank. Amazing visuals, awesome gameplay, great use of the haptic feedback and adaptive trigers and super fast loadings.
I kid you not, you won´t even see them. Because there are none.
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy your new Playstation 5 👍

Re: Official Dragon Quest Survey Asks Fans to Help Shape Series' Future

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow ganmers.
I have to agree with @johncalmc, @bozz and @slips666
It was pretty much what I just wrote in their survey.
I really just want an even better DQXI. I won´t mind if the team wants to do a more mature, adult story and themes, but the game should always have that unique japanese humour that I personally enjoy. Wacky and goffy characters are fun and needed to.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
For this weekend I´ll be continuing my Mass Effect Insanity FemShep, Adept, Renegade run on PS5, watch some Evo matches, play some more Mass Effect Andromeda on PC and might also go back to more Guilty Gear Strive online matches.

@Keyblade-Dan Hi there friend.
What you said right there, is the dream.
Soul Reaver 2, Legacy of kain Defiance, Bloody Roar 3 and 4,
Devil May Cry 1 and 3, Onimusha games and GTA Vice City completely portable? Oh man, that is a sweet dream to have.
The handheld system looks pretty interesting too 👍

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Sales 'Well Above' Expectations, Says EA

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
As a Massive nass Effect fan, I bought the Legendary Edition on day one and did a full playtrough of the entire trilogy.
And it was as awesome as it was all those 7 other playtroughs
I´ve done before.
And like I´ve said in a previous post, not only Am I playing Andromeda on PC, I am also doing a Insanity, FemShep, Adept, Renegade run on the first ME. And I´m having an absolute blast.
Hopefully, this means EA learns the value of sigleplayer, story driven games made by studios that both knows and wants to make them as well as Bioware, not only making a brand new Mass Effect game, but maybe also an Adromeda sequel.
Because if the team has time, passion and resorces they can make a great game. Andromeda has potential.
And so does Bioware. I still believe in them.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all

@Sorteddan Hi there friend and thank you for the reply.
It is definitely difficult sometimes to catch your bearings when something bad happens. Not always easy to get up.
But we do need to find some kind of strentgh, either inside ourselves or form the outside, from friends, family, loved ones or just the things that brings us joy, pleasure and excitement.
Videogames, movies, books, gym, driving around and a good conversation, are some of my favourite things to do, especially when I´m feeling down. And we all feel down at some point.
Cheers, stay safe and all the best 👍

Re: Tales of Arise Is About as Long as Tales of Berseria, Says Producer

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
50 to 60 hours is pretty long. Not absurdely long, like some other rpgs (Persona 5 Royal), so long enough.
As long as the 3 pillars of any RPG are strong, it will always be a pleasure to play.
What are the 3 pillars of RPGs you ask? They are as follows:

  • Gameplay. Combat system and exploration mechanics. Both need to be super fun. You´ll be playing these games for hours. No fun, no play;
  • Story and characters. Again, both need to be interesting and engaging. The initial mystery and premise needs to hook you and the more you play, the narrative and dialogues need to be on point;
  • The OST. Like I said before, you´re going to be playing these games for hours, wich means you are going to listen to the same combat, village, town, character and Boss music.
    It needs not only to set the mood, but also the tone. It needs to be somber and melancholic, but also happy and cheerfull when need be. And it needs to be EPIC and make you feel excited to fight one more battle for the next level up or that Boss fight that makes your blood pumpin, because of the story and the music.
    So there you go. the 3 pillars of RPGs. In my oppinion, that is😉
    Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 387

RaZieLDaNtE

Hi there fellow gamers.
After a not so good week and not feeling great myself, I decided to do a challenge run on one of my favourite games of all time: Mass Effect.
I´ll be playing as FemShep, Adept (because Biotics are OP), Renegade on Insanity difficulty.
Why? Because it is a game that I know and love and just felt like I needed something to raise my spirit and relax my mind.
We all have bad moments and days and it is precisely because of that that we need to stay strong and find and do the things that gives us some kind of peace and joy.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
Another really good interview @ShogunRok thanks.
I´m glad that Iki island new content will be as big as one of the 3 acts of the main game. It will be such a pleasure to go back to my personal GOTY of 2020 and stop every few minutes to watch the beautiful sceneries, vistas and sunsets.
And take pictures of course. Lots and lots of pictures 😜
