I havnt voted as i think its unfair to give a score after 4 hours but i sold it. Miss the fixed weapon too much and i dont like having to swap through all the echoes to find the one i want. Im sure it caters for some but its not my style of Zelda game.
I will be continuing with my playthrough of the amazing Broken sword reforged. Will be selling Zelda echoes today. Not my sort of game as i suspected but thought id give it a go. As i feared tho, too much menu jumping when having to select echoes for my liking.
@LuXifer appreciate the reply. Is it something you can coma and go to as you please or does it reward a more heavy, constant play time like something like animal crossing? I found the having to wait a certain ammount of physical time or timed events a bit off putting with AC
Im wondering if the same will happen on PS5 as its due out tomorrow (as advertised on the PS store) but isnt available to pre order and doesnt even have a price. Ive just asked the question over on PS.
Funny as i nearly got Pro akater 1 and 2 yesterday on PS5 in the sale. I loved the origionals and have played the ps4 version but any excuse for more TH.
I just hope that Sony now take a long hard look and realise that PS owners dont always need 300k games with a 10 year development cycle. These style of games are a breath of fresh air and sony really need to delve back to some of there dormant IP that have been is stasis forcso long.
@gcunit same issue persists with the first 2 games. Theyre enjoyable but at times its not clear what your expected to do. I had to google part of the first game because the scene wouldnt move on and what i had to actually do is ask the same question 4 times, 3 times would just get a grunt like the convo couldnt go any further then the 4th would break their silence.
Should have done a premium build of around the 3-£400 mark imo in the same vein as the LOTR Rivendell sell. Its expensive but its huge, looks incredible and is amazingly fun and interesting to build. They could have done alot better job imo.
So the Borderlands movie is a steaming turd?. Id like to say colour me surprised but i dont think i really need to, do i?
We all knew how it would turn out.
@AnnoyingFrenzy see, my wife said ahe thought it looked like a fun build but i thought it looked a little samey and repetitive. Maybe i was wrong 🤔. I got her the rose bouquet for valentines day and told her to break them down and i will re-wrap them every year for her 😂😂
@AnnoyingFrenzy it does look like a cool build. Me and my wife recently built the Lego Rivendell from Lord of the rings and that was such a fun build. So many different colours and pieces. Always felt like you were building something different.
@GarlicGuzzler dont get me wrong, the silly one liners and ott fatalities are part and parcel of MK but Mortal kombat is the name of the tournament so a film should be made around said tournament. The last film completely lost the vibe that makes Mortal kombat what it is. We see it alot with films now days imo. They try too hard to be edgy or deep and sometime it works but a film like this imo just needs to be simple. We shall see and i would love to be proven wron upon release.
Who the hell got the final decision on casting Karl Urban as Kage? Dont get me wrong as i like Urban as an actor and hes sublime as Butcher in the boys but im struggling to see him as Kage.
Im not holding out much hope for the movie to be fair. The fists 15 minutes of the 1st movie (sub vs scorpion in human form) and sub freezing the streets were really cool..... Then they introduced the protag and it all started to go to sh*t.
MK has the potential and lore to be an amazing, serious martial arts flick about.... the actual mortal kombat tournament but somehow it just never seems to stick. The origional in all its cheesy glory was the best by far. Ramp that same story up, ditch the campness (not that im against campness in movies as a whole) and your on to a winner.
I just remember playing Super Mario land, Zelda and Tetris constantly as a kid then moved on to the Pokemons after that. What a classic era to to be alive. Im so glad i got to live the 80s and 90s and wasnt born in to todays society. Good memories, great times.
Literally got FCDC last week. Not really started either game yet but i love the look of them so this could be a good one for me. I would like to say i will wait for a sale but looking at the origionals that have never had a discount since launch i wont be holding my breath.
Starting to try and get in to some visual novels. I seem to enjoy the more interactive ones more so dipped my toe in to Danganronpa trigger happy and tried the demo of AI which i quite enjoyed and also tried Witch in the holy night demo which i couldnt get in to. More of a traditional read only novel. Apartvfrom that a bit of Witcher 3 and some GT7 on PS5
Oh, and i will try Unmetal on switch as i got it in the sales.
@Yalloo if i could get one for 199.99 i would bite. Maybe something will happen when the switch 2 is announced. A price drob has got to happen at some point.
@Yalloo i may still get one as once the switch successor is out i will prob still keep the switch and mod it for "preservation" purposes. I could do with the better battery life too as when on the odd occasion i do play in handheld mode the battery doesnt last more than a couple of hours at most. I was hoping for a substantial reduction at some point tho.
Nope, not interested in a light in any form what so ever. I have nearly buckled on an oled a couple of times but i just keep telling myself that its not worth it and switch 2 isnt that far away. Im still rocking an OG.
Try searching for visual novels without actually knowing what the titles are called. I just wanted to browse them to see what took my fancy, instead i just headed to reddit for a list of highest rated ones and had to search each and every one by name to see if they looked like my bag or not. Most are advertised as "adventure"
It was an ok game. Started off good when you were taking out jets and ground units but became annoying when the sci fi side of things came in to play and you were just flooded with those unmanned drones etc.
@r1chard yeah exactly. I plan to use 1 voucher on Famicom detective club because its never had a single discount in the past however many years its been out. I just didnt fancy dropping £50 on it. Now i dont have to.
@r1chard just done a Currys £100 voucher and used the digi15 thanks to you. Never used Currys for vouchers before but it was a painless transaction. Thanks a bunch. Is this a permanent think Currys offer?
@JustMonika new to VN's but ive just sat up half the night adding to my watch list based off your (now probarbly outdated) substantial list. In your oppinion whats your top 5 recommendations?
Is Famicom defective club any good? Its never going on sale so was going to grab a couple of the Nintendo tickets whilst theyre offering 4x coins but dont want to get it if its crap.
