Quick update to my list before I forget what I've played!

It still suffers from it! Admittedly the servers are way more stable now, so it's not as much of an issue. But if you use rest mode the game loses connection and you have to wait for it to connect again. Also, what happens in the future when the servers are gone? Not that many people will care, but this is still a crappy practice that needs to stop. As for SFV, I'm definitely interested in picking it up, but more than happy to wait for a price drop, even more so after learning of this.

There's another chance to play this Sunday!: [tweet]694733508523069441[/tweet]

:laughing::laughing: I seriously cannot stop laughing at that.

Wowzers! That is insane.

Nice. :awesome: This reminds me, I still need to get/play Transformers at some point.

I'm probably not even halfway through yet then. I must say though, having access to a Skell (even a non-flying one) has made such a huge difference to the exploration aspect of the game. Had no idea it was possible to...

What was your playtime to finish the story?

It's pretty crappy TBH. Just a bunch of weapons based on Slimes that are weaker than ones you can acquire in-game after almost no time at all. Unless I'm missing something and they have some other use...

No problemo. True. I think there are quite a few alternative ways to travel though. I came across a few player created bridges, and also managed to get hold of a jet pack at one point, so I could just leave materials at the drop point for the bus to collect, and then fly back to town! :awesome: Yeah, adds a bit too much pressure for me on those slide puzzles though, I'm awful at those. I kept paying to auto-complete them, so I wouldn't hold up the queue. Anyway, glad to hear that you might be picking the game up. Hopefully we get info on the price/release date soon.

I got it from Rakuten, using some super points and a discount voucher. Best price for it now is probably still Amazon (which is where I was going to get it originally) as they have the Day One Edition for £18: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dragon-Quest-Heroes-World-Blight/dp/B00YXW21UI/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1453561462&sr=1-1&keywords=dragon+quest+heroes+ps4

I'm loving the voice acting in this, they've got a fantastic range of accents going on. Every time a new character appears I look forward to hearing how they'll speak. The Cockney weapon shop guy is hilarious "Be lucky!" Was pretty amusing to hear a Scouser at one point too. I usually switch to Japanese audio whenever the option is available, but I definitely won't be doing that with this game. As for the gameplay, early days yet but it seems pretty fun. Finding it a bit tricky to focus on those gate keeping enemies, I always seem to end up behind them, despite the lock-on. But other than that it's all good. Action packed and very smooth. :awesome:

Really enjoyed last night's beta test. It's a shame the servers went a bit wonky halfway through, as I was absolutely captivated by what I was seeing and hearing. I am completely in love with the presentation of this game! Some pics I took: Dat lighting! Seriously, TTC features the most impressive lighting I've ever seen in a video game! It's just astonishing how good it can look, but more importantly it really enhances the feel of the game. There were times when I was inside some of the island structures, surrounded by the glow of the lantern (in areas that would otherwise be pitch-black) digging away and exploring, yet the feeling of tranquility was just incredible. Don't think I've ever felt so relaxed while playing a game before! There were moments in Journey that produced a similar effect, but what I experienced in TTC was something else entirely. Can definitely see this becoming my go-to chill out game. Of course there's also some action to be enjoyed, if you go looking for it... or not, as this vid shows: I did encounter a few issues last night though, one where I got stuck in the digging animation (and had to restart the software) and a few occasions where the screen would go black (that also happened when I tried to join @Hero\-of\-Time, what did you make of it? I'm going to assume it's not really you're cup of tea, but you never know.

Because you didn't read the bit that said "BIG spoiler! End of Chapter 5"? Sorry though. How far into it have you got?

Slowly but surely I'm getting back into this. Although Lyn's affinity quest...

No, I hear ya. It's difficult for us old farts to abandon tradition. Although I'm more likely to just go without and wait for that unlikely bargain on the physical copy.

Indeed.Are you taking advantage of this deal?

Bloodborne GOTY Edition is going for £25 on PSN at the moment. Was really tempted, but I just got Dragon Quest Heroes, and ideally want to avoid digital versions of retail games. Not sure if the disc version will ever drop as low as that though, hmm...

Should've joined us in the N-E League, you could've got screwed over many more times! Seriously, it was insane last night.

Do people reckon we'll see some kind of goodwill gesture from Nintendo to those of us that purchased a Wii U? Like perhaps a slightly reduced NX system price, or another 3DS ambassador type thing? Not necessarily saying they should do something like this, or that I expect it (although I obviously wouldn't complain ), just curious.

Played the demo... It seems like they've not really changed or improved anything from the first game! Got a kick out of playing as Kiryu and Majima from Yakuza, but their inclusion in this is no where near enough to make me endure the same monotony as PxZ again.

I finally have this game now, managed to get hold of the Day One Edition for just 16 quid! :awesome: Hope I enjoy it as much as everyone else on here did.

It's essentially a surreal sandbox. And while it is online, other players are not always visible to you, only when they perform certain actions. Those that want to know more about the game before tonight's session should check out this vid: I'm really looking forward to seeing TTC in an uncompressed form for the first time, it's such an incredible looking game. :awesome: Just hoping the gameplay clicks for me, as I'm already well and truly sold on the look, concept and vibe of the game.

That was one of the craziest MK8 League nights in quite some time I think.
