Re: Hell Is Us (PS5) - One of the Best Mystery Experiences on PS5

homelesscretin

Damn. Consider me intrigued. Honestly speaking, I remember writing this off the moment I saw it's reveal trailer because of how generic it seemed (and the fact that it's another soulslike) but it seems like it turned out to be anything but๐Ÿ‘€.

Will check it out when it's affordable to do so๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: Hellblade 1 Finally Enhanced for PS5, Out Now with Free Upgrade

@naruball Duuuuuuude, I can't imagine playing this WITHOUT headphones. And yes, playing it in the dark at 12am with only a cup of cold milk to comfort you is the best way to experience the game.

Like I don't know what it is man, but this game really got under my skin. I've played scary games before, but hellblade is just a cut above the rest when it comes to raw immersion. It just nails that feeling of isolation and loneliness

One of my favourite games ever. It's a shame the sequel apparently isn't near the first one's level of quality, but I'll give it a shot sometime in the future.

The original game remains as one of my favourite horror experiences in recent years. Granted, I am a massive p*ssy so scaring me is very easy๐Ÿ˜‚, but this game has some truly terrifying moments.

Honestly...this is very cool in my opinion๐Ÿ˜….

I love reading scripts for movies because it increases my appreciation for the artform, and I'm sure I'll feel the same way with a video game script.

Speaking of...I've never read a video game script, so it'll be interesting to see how it differs from a movie or television script๐Ÿค”.

@get2sammyb The closest we'll get to a flash game๐Ÿ˜ช.

Sucker Punch did a great job on expanding the neon power. Those combat arenas were fantastic and running into those neon clouds for an extra burst of speed never got old.

@naruball I wouldn't say it was necessarily difficult, but it defo had some rough patches.

Like there would be instances where you're facing off like a million enemies and they all have pinpoint accuracy constantly making you suffer๐Ÿ˜‚

Second son is personally my favourite! Absolutely love Delsin's variety of powers with smoke being my favourite. Honestly, sucker punch did a great job at making every power feel distinct in this game.

Re: My Hero's Academia: All's Justice PS5 Goes All-In on the Anime's Final Season

homelesscretin

Very excited! I know arena fighters get a bad rep, but one's justice 2 is honest to God such a fantastic game that I'm glad it's getting a sequel.

On a side note, unrelated to the game I guess, but it's weird how this particular era of shonen jump is already over innit? JJK, Demon Slayer, My hero academia. I remember reading their first chapters and just like that all three have come to an end. Here I was thinking about what would replace Naruto and Bleach at the time, and now I'm thinking what the next big battle shonen will be after these three.

I feel old.๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: 'Don't Bet' on The Last of Us 3, Warns Neil Druckmann

@Gelloh Personally, I don't see the issue with this. It wasn't maliciously "misleading" or anything.

I'd argue it serves it purpose, by making a certain scene even more impactful because you didn't see it coming(if it somehow wasn't spoiled for you after that insane leak ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Re: Vive La Return of Castlevania: Nocturne, Season 2 Is Almost Here

homelesscretin

Absolutely adored Castlevania from Seasons 1 to 3.

Then season 4 happened.

It's so blatantly obvious that the original show had a premature ending. So many things that were set up in season 3 were simply glossed over in season 4 or resolved, but in a manner that was so incredibly rushed. The animation is absolutely stellar however. It's just a shame about the storytelling. Really left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'll watch nocturne one day, but not anytime soon.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 563

homelesscretin

Just wrapped up Life Is Strange 2!

Despite some issues with the writing here and there this game really resonated with me, more so than the first one I think. I really appreciate that dontnod tried something completely different and fresh instead of doing...whatever the hell deck nine is doing ๐Ÿ˜‚.

But I can't say I blame deck nine either. It's no secret that the life is strange fanbase is rabid and can only consider a life is strange game as a life is strange game if it ticks super specific boxes.

I really really enjoyed my time with this game. Definitely something I'll be thinking about for a while

Juuuuust got the platinum for Hotline Miami!๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Initially I was playing Ni no kuni the past week or so, but man I f*****g hate the combat in that game๐Ÿ˜ญ. What makes it more annoying is that I love everything else about the game (generic as it may be) but I just for the life of me can't gel with the combat at all. So after 28 hrs I gave up and jumped on Hotline miami which was the best decision I ever made.

I'll try Ni No Kuni again in 15 years ๐Ÿคฃ
