Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 640

More Lightning Returns, which I’m finding particularly stressful. The countdown clock, together with certain parts of the map, characters and quests only becoming available for specific time-windows.

It’s very different from Final Fantasy XIII parts 1 and 2 in terms of combat too, which I’m a bit disappointed about. Hoping that the story and familiar characters carry me through.

Re: Xbox Wants to Cancel Marvel's Blade, Close Arkane Studios

@GirlVersusGame in all honesty I wasn’t even aware of it until your mention. I’d have played this for sure, as I’m a huge Dishonored fan and big fan of Blade in comics, animation and the movies (particularly 2). For some reason the Blade character and his powers didn’t say immersive-sim to me… and I’ll take any immersive-sim I can get šŸ˜‰

Re: SNK, We Really Need to Talk About Art of Fighting 3 and the NEO GEO Premium Selection

@Mostik tbh mate, I’d kinda forgotten about it but I did notice the NeoGeo collections had been added when I first heard about the upcoming NeoGeo AES+. So I have started trying to catch up with the cartridges I’ve missed… can’t get the NeoGeo Arcade Collection 3 anywhere though.

I bought it (& a load of the early carts) more for an interesting shelf filler in the gaming room if I’m honest. I might crack it open one day though, as I have only heard good things.

Re: Valve's New Steam Machine Costs Almost Twice as Much as a PS5

@11001100110zero it’s not rocket-science, we all see it lol. You regularly visit a PlayStation news site and take every opportunity you can to neg PlayStation… and then low-and-behold you turn up to spin a lonely positive out’ve a Steam Machine that barely competes with a base PS5 but is priced at over a grand. Maybe you’re so dense that you’re unaware of the level of your own subjectivity… I doubt it though.

@OpheliaDynamight yeah you could honestly start with either tbh as there are only very loose connections and around 300 years between them.

They’re not particularly difficult tbh… and not souls-likes neither. They’re more akin to a modern Assassins Creed game tbh… only with an extra layer (or two šŸ˜‰) of quality.

Busy weekend but if I get the chance I’d like to make a start on my second playthrough of Metro 2033 Redux. Finished my Enlightenment run on Survivor last night and while it’s definitely aged and has its flaws… overall the atmosphere, narrative and execution of stealth-from-the-shadows won me over. Will be 25 plats within the first 6 months of 2026 if I manage it before the end of June.
