Was bored of it with no intention of playing it again. I made the right choice getting rid while it still had some value.

Playing The Last Guardian has put me off buying Shadow of the Colossus on the PS4 due to how bad the controls were. Was going to trade Monster Hunter World in for it on Saturday. Ended up trading it in for Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy instead. Only played it for a couple of hours so far but I made the right choice.

Just finished The Last Guardian and I'm not sure if I enjoyed it or not. Probably one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. The camera and controls were a nightmare at times. Commanding Trico was also a pain, at times not only was my character shouting at him, I was as well.

Managed to get a Dreamcast off eBay for £22 including P&P. Arrived this morning and apart from the standard yellowing it runs great. My Dreamcast struggled to run Craxy Taxi and Sega Rally so those two were the first games I tested which ran with no problems. Sounds so much healthier too. Got some Hydrogen Peroxide so once summer finally arrives I'll be using that on both dreamcasts and my wavebird.

Got my Dreamcast keyboard out of the loft and just played this. Only got to Chapter 4.

I did the same, played a bit of Sega Rally 2, House of the Dead 2 and Virtua Fighter 3 this morning. Loved playing Virtua Striker 2 in the arcades, may have to play that later. Unfortunately my Dreamcast is playing up, wouldn't even load Sega Rally 2 at first and froze during the 3rd chapter of House of the Dead 2. Could be down to not playing on it for a few months or just the laser dying. Seemed to improve the longer I had it on so not giving up on it just yet.

This dreamcast looks in excellent condition by the way, I know you'll want one in mint or near mint condition https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/dreamcast-console-stunning-condition/263587944797?hash=item3d5f10d95d:g:bZ4AAOSwP4daxSk-

Very Nice, how much did all that cost you?

Bargain at £425 as well, I'll buy two

Just want a spare and probably cheaper to get one now than if it dies in a few years.

Funnily enough, I've been looking at buying a backup Dreamcast. Decided against bidding on a couple last night, £40 is most I really want to pay. Regretting not picking up the two I saw at car boots last year for £30 each

Fingers crossed for you that it doesn't have the save glitch.

Just completed the last 9 star optional quest after reaching HR 100. Time to play other games again!

50 tempered monsters, 500 large monsters, HR100 and that'll be it I think. I've never had much luck with the small and large crowns.

Good detailed look at the Arcade Club. I hope others see how successful this has been and we start to see arcades make a comeback

Got the rare fish on the second spawn tonight. It's crazy, after getting so frustrated with the game looking for the fish and bird, I'm enjoying it again. 50 tempered monsters next target.

Finally caught that rare bird, just that rare fish now. Refusing to do any more hunting until I catch it...

Nah, back to Shadow of War and Everybody's Golf

I've hit HR70 after 130 hours and I'm just a bit bored now. The ultra rare bird and fish aren't showing up for me and after doing the bounties and event quests, I can't be bothered doing anything else until they refresh.

It definitely is, I highly recommend it. I put a good 50+ hours into it by the end. There are a few issues with the framerate and glitches but I really enjoyed it.

Preordered and booking Friday and Monday off tomorrow. 4 day monster hunting weekend...

I've not even preordered it yet. Not really feeling the hype for it yet. Plus I got a backlog of games from Christmas & Birthday to get through.

Bought a new entertainment unit for my retro consoles from IKEA Bought a new bookcase for all the games from IKEA as well Also invested in some new storage boxes for my controllers, £12 for 4. Not bad at all That Wavebird has some serious discolouring. Any ideas how to restore it?

Bought a couple of items from IKEA to improve the look of my games room, happy with the result. More photos in my Retro Consoles Collection thread
