Just beat the main story of Monster Hunter World. That game is tons of fun. I had one hunt where three monsters and four players including myself were all fighting in the same relatively small cave. It was pure chaos and glorious.

It’s 4K 60fps on ps5 and has really good LOD

I've been getting into Guilty Gear and it is extremely fun. I love how wildly different all the characters are. Definitely going to pick up the new one in April now, although sadly two out of the three characters I've been playing aren't in the initial roster.

I’m still making my way through Ghosts of Tsushima. 30 mins of games don’t give me massive headaches anymore so I’m probably going to try to do more of it moving this week.

I think I’m close to the 30% mark (looks like it anyway on the map).

So far if I were to rate it, I’d probably give it a 3.5Gs. I quite like it but it’s super formulaitic and repetitive. If i didn’t like the theme so much I’d probably rate it 3Gs.

3.5 Gs is a solid game. I'd probably give it a try at some point.

Internet tells me this game is called Ghost of Tsushima, singular ghost. I call bullshit on this pluralization.

Been playing Outrun 2006 (Outrun 2 SP with bonus features) on the PS2 and for a PS2 racer, it really is sublime. Shame the game may never see the light of day again due to Ferrari licensing :sadtea

I think it's about time for another playthrough of Final Fantasy Tactics.

I wish they would release the War of the Lions version on modern platforms. ;(

Wasn't a fan of the mobile port. In any case they've released every other FF and Chrono Trigger on Steam so who knows, maybe they'll bring it over eventually. I have the original on PS1 and WotL on a PSP emulator so I'm fine either way, but I'd be happy to buy it again on Steam if they put up an official version.

I’ve played the original. Even though it wasn’t released here. Swapped it with a random American person for Terranigma. That was a bad move. Not that FFT isn’t good, but Terranigma is worth about £250 now.

War of the Lions is the superior version by a mile. If you enjoyed the original at all you should definitely check it out at some point.

Is it because it's easier, shorter and more linear than the rest?

I've said this before, but I'd really recommend the DS version. Most fully-featured version, by far!

What are the additional features? Do they affect the core mechanics or the surrounding details like level progression?

Lots of different aesthetic options, puzzles and daily challenges. It's presented like a Brain Training Game, where you get a challenge every day and it keeps a diary for you. Sure there's much more to it, but it was 2G7 when I last played it.

Aye, that we did. Your DS Lite convinced me to upgrade from my DS Hevi shortly thereafter.

Played Bowser’s Fury yesterday. It’s fun, but I can see why it wasn’t released as a standalone game.

It’s pretty generic for a 3D Mario game, with just one new gimmick.

But actually kind of mostly yes? SMB3 - World Map of Levels. Also a lot of new power ups I guess, so maybe it was more than one here. World - Yoshi and cape. Mario 64 - 3d. Mario Sunshine - Spraying things with water. Galaxy - planets and shit. Odyssey - hat tricks. New Super Mario Bros - Having multiple players on screen at once for crazy antics.

I meant more recently than before. It doesn’t really matter because Nintendo usually executed better than everyone else.

I’m not saying one new gimmick isn’t standard, but I think calling them otherwise generic is unfair
