LAST GAME TO BE DESCUSHED WINS!

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.

I’m playing ghosts of Tsushima
I forgot if I mentioned that already

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.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Feb 01, 2021 5:04 am

WaWard is obviously playing the sequel.

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Mon Feb 01, 2021 7:46 am

He bought three copies and plays a different one each time.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:35 pm

The real ghosts of Tsushima are all of us

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

“ You know Erik, we really are the Ghosts of Tsushima” is the most notable quote of the game

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Feb 01, 2021 2:55 pm

Erik is such a boringly typical Japanese name

Innit

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.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Feb 10, 2021 5:10 am

Newest iPhone isn’t modern enough for you?

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.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Feb 10, 2021 8:54 am

I have it on PSP but have never played it. My PSP battery exploded so I probably never will.

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Wed Feb 10, 2021 11:07 am

Have you played the original?

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Feb 10, 2021 1:18 pm

Yeah the iPhone version doesn’t even support controllers

It would be tolerable if it did

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 7:38 am

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.

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 7:15 pm

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.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 7:48 am

Shame my PSP exploded. Would prefer to play it on the big screen as well

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 12:08 pm

I’m playing the demons souls remake and it reminds me why it’s my favourite soulsborne game

(It’s easier and I prefer the theme)

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 1:45 pm

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

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 1:53 pm

Kinda. I’m also burnt out on ghost of tsunami. I finished the first island and the second island of more of the same shit got unlocked.

I’ll get back to it soon.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 3:06 pm

Did you play any of FFXIV in the end?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 3:54 pm

I played some パネルでポン last night on Switch SNES app

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 3:56 pm

You ever played the 3D Pokémon one?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:04 pm

No, I’ve mostly only played Tetris Attack, the reskinned international version.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:06 pm

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

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:30 pm

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

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:36 pm

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.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 7:46 pm

I saw u in England that year

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 7:59 pm

We played the DS.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:31 pm

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.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 1:32 pm

I read it’s more of an experiment innit?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 1:48 pm

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

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 3:52 pm

Isn’t that every new Mario game tho

Is the new gimmick cat? Or Bowser attacking all the time?

No?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 7:52 pm

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.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 8:35 pm

Innit?

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

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 9:02 pm

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