All Activity

I finished Act 3 eventually but needed to level up a lot and do some other stuff for the Platinum, which I just didn't care for then. Maybe early next year I'll play it again and see what happens I think loading up the save and getting back into it wouldn't feel right.

IIRC, you were right at the end anyway, weren't you? Didn't you drop it once the 3rd act started? Shouldn't take that much effort to push through and finally finish the game.

Played this for 6 hours and my PS5 says I'm 33% done with the game. Seems odd, because I've read that the main story is about 30 hours long? I also spent at least 2 hours farming exp Usually the percentage isn't too far off, at least in my experience, so I'm a little suspicious. Anyways, just got told at work that there's not a lot to do and I should be "on call" for today, which is weird for someone who works part time in quality assurance. Well, I don't mind. I won't have time to game later today so why not during work hours. MORE EXP, HERE I COME! I've said it before, but there's something about the Dragon Quest series that just soothes me. I love everything about it (aside from the fact that some games are stuck on inferior hardware). I really need to get to playing every single title, but getting hold of them (and the hardware) seems like a nightmare. I've only really played DQVIII and XI (EDIT: How could I forget Dragon Quest Monsters on Game Boy? It was the first DQ game I've ever played and oh boy, I've played it a lot ). Maybe I should replay XI and then go after the Platinum

I know just what site should be fine though.

Randnet Disk JP release: 23rd February 2000 PAL release: N/A JP release: N/A Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo N64 Magazine Score: N/A The Randnet Disk for the 64DD isn’t really a game, but I thought it was interesting enough to talk about. It’s a software disk that is essentially a web browser and email client. As the Randnet service is down, there isn’t a lot that can be done, but I was able to mess around a little with the menu, along with the help pages which use the browser. While you could use the N64 mouse and the N64 keyboard (which was sold separately alongside this disk), a good deal of effort was put into allowing text input on a controller. The stick is used to narrow your selection to a couple of letters, while you can use the A button and C-buttons to pick one of those letters, or a shortcut for something else (such as www. or .com). It’s a surprisingly nice way to input text, and it’s a shame this wasn’t used in other N64 games. The browser is basic, but most were at the time anyway. From the help pages, it does its job just fine. There were some big plans for this, such as online play, watching others play games, and a music streaming service, but as the 64DD was short-lived, so was this. I also think it shows how botched together the 64DD ended up being, that this wasn’t released alongside the system itself. ? Remake or remaster? A group called Randnet+ is working on getting Randnet to work, allowing for the sharing of items from Mario Artist, and letting the browser work. They’re also recreating some of the pages the Randnet Disk directly linked to, so we’ll be able to see what it actually did (it probably won’t be able to load most modern websites). Official ways to get the game. There’s no official way to get Randnet Disk.

Reading people's impressions of the update, that does seem to the case. I suppose it could be worth it depending on what games eventually come to the service. If it allows a person to play all their digital games then that would be great but if it's tied to what's only available on PS+ then it becomes a bit limited. I've still no interest in it be it's certainly a cool update.

There really is no need to remake this into live action. Whilst Toothless looks great the human characters just aren’t going to cut it and probably end up being one dimensional with no fun of the originals.

I really have no idea why they make this.

Looks like their interest is legit.

Does that mean you can buy one without owning a PS5 and play PS5 games via the cloud? Would be pretty cool if it wasn't $160 a year.

Huge update for Portal owners. It no longer being tethered to the PS5 will be a bit of a game changer for a lot of Portal owners.

They seem to use the official CD album releases where applicable, so that was expected. If they do release the other music, it would be done separately.

Unfortunately that’s only for Individual subs and not Family subs… otherwise would’ve jumped on that immediately.

It looks like no Expansion Kit music and no version from the F-Zero X Guitar Arrange Edition. I wasn't expecting them, but it would be nice to have comprehensive releases if they're only doing one a week.

NBA In the Zone 2000 NA release: 18th February 2000 PAL release: May 2000 JP release: N/A Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami N64 Magazine Score: 69% This is such a boring game to talk about, that the most interesting thing I can point out is that this game kept the name “In the Zone” in PAL regions. Previous games were renamed as “NBA Pro”. But, apart from that, this is an update of a clunky, average sports game that does nothing new. Everything moves in a strange way, and the “next player” is never who you expect or want to be selected while defending. There are far better basketball games. Fine Remake or remaster? There are better basketball games. Official ways to get the game. There’s no official way to get NBA In the Zone 2000

It bypassed my inner proofreader/grammar nazi. That's how much I agree

Despite me typing "of" instead of "over"?

I hate that I read this and immediately agreed

This rumour has popped up about the acquisition.

Honestly, I'd love an Oscar style show that really highlights the people behind the games but I doubt it would pull in the viewers as it would probably lack mainstream appeal, which is what Geoff's show is really aiming at. I doubt most mainstream gamers don't really care about who makes their games, let alone whether or not they should be awarded for doing so.

You don't need the "else" there. There are no proper awards shows for gaming. The closest are the BAFTAs, but they don't air the ceremony. Proper awards shows happen after the year is finished.

As much as I dislike the show, not to mention how it's gotten progressively worse of the years, it wouldn't exist without him or the sponsors. Nobody else seems interested in doing a proper awards show or at least footing the bill for one.

Will they be getting a real host this time, or will Geoff be using his money to carry on pretending that he's suitable for the role?

Nuts what you can do these days

I don’t have the slightest interest in Geoff’s Doritos Awards, but the fact that 1000xResist didn't even get a single nomination (let alone be a complete shoe-in for Best Narrative) perfectly highlights how much of a complete failure the event is at what it purports to be. The damn thing is nothing more than a big advertisement for Geoff’s cronies. Truly an insult to the industry as a whole, it deserves better.
