Shorty

When I got to chapter 9/10 I started to like the game more, I think it gets a lot better from there. The combat is a lot better against easy to medium enemies, but anything fast or particularly dangerous it's still very frustrating. There's just not enough ways to counter fast moving attacks, and the amount of things that can interrupt your attacks and magic really make you feel powerless at times. However, yeah, I would definitely say overall I'm liking the game a lot more now.

Hi! Would I be able to join you after your MK game? also I have no idea what I’m doing or how, I’ll be doing this for my g/f who’s island and turnips it is 😅

I bought a case of twelve bottles of wine. Should get me through Thursday.

I'm at chapter 8 and I just can't decide if I like this or not. Which I guess means I don't. I think I'm only playing it because I wanted it for so long, and the music and beautiful reimagining of everything is something special. But the combat and linear gameplay are shite.

Sorry I missed this @Julius - is it still happening?

Anyone bought this? I want it but given the current state of affairs and other games out now, I don't feel like I'm particularly in a rush! Plus I'd have to dig out the rift sensors

HD picture?? I was about to jump in but I'm not going to if its such low resolution :/

Talk about a blast from the past! Long time no see hope you're keeping well. 164 bells gives me a bit of hope. I'll take a chance and wait a little longer.

Not knowing what was a good price it sounds like I bought a bit high at 110

I went and deleted my post because I realised the financial irresponsibility of what I was suggesting thanks for the response though. Anyone bought disk? Is there any day one download needed? My g/f's copy came in the post, I'll get it installed/up to date if that's needed. (I know, I know, it's not an EA Xbox 360 game but I thought I'd ask)

Where do you even keep all your stuff

I bought SotC a while ago when it was on offer, it never really clicked for me. I think it was probably a real product of its era, much like Ico, that doesn't necessarily stack up as well now that we're less awed by sheer immense scale. That said, I'm sure it will still tick the box for a lot of people.

If there's enough interest I'll show up! How well does the Arcade Club suit group meetups? I find you're kinda going to spread around and do your own thing at places like that, but I've not been since they relocated.

Yeah I still print a lot of miniatures for D&D! Although it's an uphill struggle sometimes. Since this is the purchases thread, I can mention that I recently bought an upgrade to the main board (SKR Mini 1.3) that does an amazing job of making the printer so much quieter. Who know it was the stepper drivers making all that noise.

For a sec I thought you'd bought addons for your joycons and was gonna ask why you didn't 3D print them!

It's good fun but I wish we'd experienced something more than combat. I feel like I've played enough corridor combat FFs over the years (and never gotten more than an hour into them) so I gotta know that downtime stuff is up-to-scratch too. I mean, it's not like I won't pre-order it. I will. And that music and the sheer disbelief that after all these years, I was really playing an FFVII remake... I mean... damn.

Is anyone going to the Safari Zone event in Liverpool next month?

The second movie was much much better and a treat to watch in the cinema. Subbed, as well! The world’s changed!

I've got good news for you, your maths isn't quite as good as your swimming but that's actually within target

Yeah that's the one. At least with anime movie adaptations of popular franchises, even if the story is corny, you expect the animation to ramp up a few notches. That felt like a filler arc and the animation I think actually dipped below the quality of the show. And they way they force every character into it....

I'm not set on either side of this, in fact I've played so much Stardew Valley on my own that a shared experience sounds like it could be really pleasant in comparison. You guys have sold me on the idea in fact, and I'm looking forward to it more. But at the same time, would it hurt to have multiple islands, multiple options? One shared, and one solo? Or multiple solo? Not everybody wants the same thing. I gather that in the GC era it was a technical limitation before a design decision, because you needed a whole memory card for your island, that can't be the case now.

Going to see the second MHA movie in cinemas this week. Didn't really like the first movie at all, no idea if this one is meant to be better but should be a cool experience just seeing it on the big screen!

Am I understanding right that you're forced to share a single island with all people that use your console? Both me and my SO are the kind that would want to complete whole collections (fishing etc) by ourselves, start to finish... is this the new two-versions-of-every-Pokemon scam? Why not let me have as many islands as I want? As many saves? Share if I want, don't share if I don't want? Edit: I should point out I've not played AC games in the past so if this isn't new, that's on me. Still super disappointing.

I wouldn't even consider Bioshock that much of a "jumpscare" type game. It definitely has that creepy alone-in-the-dark vibe but once you power yourself up a bit there's not too much to fear. Definitely give it another try because the atmosphere and story is well worth it. I say this as someone with absolutely 0% chance of playing jumpy horror games like Amnesia etc.

That's a great offering. The Bioshock games are so brilliant, I envy anyone getting to play them for the first time.
