    Yup, in the SNES version. They fixed it in the GBA version.

    I know he had arms on the box art, but I don't remember him having any in the game, which I can't help but find as weird.

    Nice one. Yeah, the Fire Emblem on NSO is pretty good. Losing people and letting it slide is pretty heartless.

    Think I got to a desert skirmish before moving on to a different game. Need to return to it. @Jonnas and @Ike explained a few things to me in this thread if you want to browse back to Feb/ March and have a look.

    I didn't want to be a complete lil bitch and have everyone survive each time, I've gotta have some of the experience. Just being a lil lil bitch

  3. Finished this recently. I'm not sure if it was the fast travel aspect, which was much appreciated, but the game felt a bit shorter and smaller because of the fewer worlds. But the story much better, although the enemy rotation felt weird, the final boss was not the baddies you had throughout (spoiler tags don't seem to be working so I'll be a lil vague), the betrayal of the final boss was predictable, but when it showed you what he was... did not expect that, but the ending seemed to be of just being too proud to admit they're wrong with the ultimate motive to change.

    Combat was about as bad as before, but I do love the extra stances, my one of choice was single blade and blaster. but for the bigger/harder enemies I cranked the difficulty down, because I know how clunky and unforgiving it was.

    Recommend though!

    Perfect Dark is absolutely bloody amazing.

    That is all :D

    So much trickier to control than I recall, I was spinning around like a fool at Carrington Institute before getting to grips with things. So glad I use mouse/keyboard for FPS and Perfect Dark has some auto aim.

    Just finished the dataDyne levels, much fun. Did have to check the FAQ for one bit as I reached the Dr Caroll door but didn't do the previous bit. In a stroke of fortune when I started backtracking I thought I'd give the lasers a try to see if I set off an alarm, instead it killed me and I now discovered the N64 games don't have the rewind feature the other consoles have. Luckily for me though I had to restart which put me next to where I needed to go (the door the lil robot goes into, I thought it would just go to some optional stuff so didn't bother going in).

    I don't think I'd be able to do much stealth, I'm just running in, strafing around in circles and just opening fire.

    Still a great game though.

  5. I got Miles Morales from CEX and blasted through it quicker than I thought. I wasn't expecting a plethora of classic Spidey villains on the side, but I was expecting more than one with Rhino. But I guess if it wasn't the length it's be padded with random repetitive tat like the first.

    A good experience, looking forward to playing the second when I get round to purchasing.

  6. Second season of The Titan Games now for watching. It's like Ninja Warrior with a hint of Gladiators, created/hosted by The Rock.

    It feels so inspiring, and I want to hit the gym more, but I know I won't! But I have some kettlebells in the living room with me I've been working with whilst watching

    Season 2 of US Traitors now on iPlayer. I recognise only Ekin-Su and for some reason John Bercow was drafted by the Americans into this, he must've gotten some proper swag over there.

    I'm not sure what has happened to Alan Cumming, but is cranking his campness to the extreme. He seems to have gotten more Scottish since last time, and if I didn't know he was an accomplished actor, I would say he is a person who doesn't know how to act - which is probably a compliment to his craft. It's just so cringeworthy. My mind gets torn when he turns up in a new outfit as my mind flips between "oh that's just traditional old school Scotland style", or the quote from Mean Girls "you've truly out-gayed yourself"

    That aside, pretty standard Traitors action, about 3 episodes in and they're doing a good job.

    Sounds something like the Dampé's level maker stuff in the Switch version of Link's Awakening.

    But that was neither highly replayable or dynamic.

    This looks really smooth, but this feels like a step away from the spirit of Metal Slug, which is charging the shit into people guns blazing, not Advance Wars stylie. :( 

  9. I think I need to get some sort of sports massage. I think I've discovered the route of my knee problems, my IT band, which apparently is more on the thigh area, but runs down the side of the leg and can rub on the knees, which is why I keep getting a twinging pain pretty much each time I'm doing some sort of bending exercise, which has been hindering lower body gains. At the moment I've been looking into mainly upper body stuff, which messes with the cardio aspect 😞

    There's potential here, and I hope they capitilise on it.

    I agree, but I hope they use it sparingly, Astro seems to have quite a few new tricks up his sleeve without the nostalgia being forced upon you.

    That being said, I loved the Journey robot.

    It’s really nice to see at least a small part of Playstation actually pay homage to their legacy.

    Sony does actually have a back catalogue that’s worth celebrating, and it’s criminal how much Modern Sony has shoved aside their legacy; when they should be proud of where they came from.  A sight for sore eyes :)

    The majority of Astro's Playroom did that, which I thought was a great nod. But I am a bit concerned they're doing it (what seems) a fair bit this time, I don't want them to rely too much on the memberberries aspect, when the gameplay was awesome.
