As a kid I used to stand in the games section in HMV looking at PS1 games and I remember the box art of Fear Effect always caught my eye. Now it looks like I'll finally get a chance to play it. That trailer doesn't look too exciting but I think I'll still give it a go at some point
I saw something over on reddit about a Paldean regional variant of Oddish that looks like a pineapple. It was probably a fake but I'd love something like that
I really hate spiders but I really like the look of this, been on my wishlist for a while. Not sure if I'll get the physical edition, probably wait for it to go on sale digitally
picked this up for £1.79 on sale last night. The gameplay isn't as smooth as the trailer makes it look, not in terms of frame rate or performance, your character just feels quite "heavy". My main gripe with it is that the resolution is distractingly bad in docked mode, it literally looks about 420p, but in handheld on the OLED it looks really crisp and sharp. It's dissapointing that you can't really play it both ways without taking a massive dip in resolution and the text being nearly unreadable. Still enough fun and content for a £1.79 sale though.
Abzu is fantastic. A short but sweet experience you can finish in one sitting that doesn't outstay its welcome and has some breathtaking moments and a great soundtrack. Hopefully this will be similar
This looks great and I do want to get it but only at a big discount, over in 2 hours + mimimun to no replay value really puts me off buying it. Don't get me wrong no game should outlive it's welcome, for example Abzu took me 4 hours to complete but it felt perfectly paced and ended without getting boring, it's about the experience, but 2 hours including cutscenes is a bit offputting
This will be my first Splatoon and I can't wait, I was going to get 2 but then 3 got announced and I decided to wait for it. I've definitely got high expectations of it based on what everyone says and how popular Splatoon 2 is
Fantastic game, bought the digital deluxe edition on PS4 for £60.00 and a week later saw the physical edition on sale for £30.00 lmao top kek. it's ridiculous how good they've managed to make a lego game look.
my first memory of a game is playing the first Tomb Raider on my dad's PC, I couldn't have been any older than 3 at the most, probably around 96/97, I wasn't very good and kept getting killed by a rolling boulder, after that my first real memory of playing a game and actually being able to play it properly was Crash Bandicoot 1 on the PS1
I get it's a passion project and it's taken him years to finish but nothing justifies that price tag, especially when whatever information is in that book is very likely all online on youtube or wiki articles for free. If it was A LOT cheaper I'd get it.
Already got the digital version on Switch, would have loved to have a physical copy but I can't really justify forking out £30.00 just to have a physical copy of a game I already have
Might have to get this on PS4. I'm definitely about gameplay over graphics but the FFVII remake is equal as the best graphics I've ever seen and that was on a base PS4.
I had this on the 360. I never liked it and never got past the first few levels but I've always wanted to revisit it too to see how I felt about it now so I'll be looking forward to this
Genuinely one of the worst games I've ever played. It's extremely rare that I don't finish a game because it's that bad but I couldn't bring myself to complete this game. The novelty and enjoyment lasts for about 15 minutes and then it's gone. The entire game is a repetitive, joyless slog without a single redeeming feature.
It's not one of those games that used to be good but hasn't aged well either. This is my first time playing it but even by the standards of it's time it's absolutely dreadful.
This is the best version of this game there's ever been. I've been playing this since I was a kid in the 90's and this is the only version of it I would now play. The inclusion of the "True 3D" makes a massive difference and it's good that you can switch between that and the old style.
The inclusion of a new campaign and all the commentary from the makers of the game is a really nice touch too.
