  1. I finally beat the end boss last night! Only took me 50 hours... 

    I managed to get a good run going with a number of decent weapons - including 3 parts of the statue in the hub world. I don't know where the part is in world 3 / 4.

    This game is so, so good. It'll probably take me another 50 hours to unlock all the weapons and find all the secrets. Amazing game, especially considering it was under a fiver in the sale.

  2. I've gone off all IGN stuff now, it's been ages since I've listened to NVC, though I do still love Brian and Peer!

    Enjoyed E3 with EZA, watched all the big conferences which I missed with them and it was fun as always watching their reactions and hype. I still think they are the best in the biz, even if I agree with the general consensus here that the podcast has slipped in quality recently. They have content for everyone, so I regularly watch Frame Trap and Friend Code and skip the stuff that doesn't interest me. It's great that they're such a group of diverse guys who all have their special area of knowledge as Sam mentioned above. Basically, any gamer can find something for them with EZA and none of them have ever annoyed me to the point that other gaming outlets have (there's always one or two people I don't care for). I recently became a Patreon as I consume a lot of their content and wanted to give something back, they truly deserve the support they get for their hard work.

    Funnily enough I tried this for the first time tonight (at that price it would be stupid not to) and I think it's a masterpiece of indie gaming. I totally get it's not for everyone, but I've had a smile on my face since I started it. The music is godlike, the little touches (singing merchant) are brilliant, execution superb.

    Does it remind anyone of Hotline Miami, in the way the music gets you in a flow? Probably just me.

    Anyway, will compete this then move straight on to the Zelda one.

    I picked it up on Steam and I absolutely love it! Such a well-designed game and you're spot on about the music.

    I'd say it took me about an hour to get the hang of it, I have absolutely no rhythm, but now I'm managing to get through the first zone fairly easily.

    I also plan to finish this before moving on to Zelda, I cannot wait to hear those classic tunes remixed.

  4. When I was watching this in the Direct my only though was "huh, so Just Dance isn't the only Wii game releasing in 2019"

    Game looks shoddy. I get that it's their first game in full 3D, but I was (probably foolishly) expecting more. 

    Let's go was fine, and looked fairly decent. This looks pretty bad and looks like it runs even worse. 

    Saying that, I'll probably still pick it up because it's 3D Pokemon and I'm part of the problem.

    that E3 actually took away a first party title from this year’s lineup (and contained only a single new first party announcement; that probably isn’t coming out until 2021); and yet the lineup still looks packed!

    Yeah the line-up is insane! So much good stuff to look forward to, and it seems like a lot of third parties are finally on board.

    At least AC is coming before the end of the fiscal year, probably with a Switch mini (if they don't get it out for Pokemon). 

    I realised this morning that we didn't have a big online game reveal like Rocket League and Fortnite the previous two years, there were rumours of Overwatch or PUBG, but I can't say I'm desperate to play either.

    No Bayo and STILL no Shin Megami Tensei V was my biggest disappointment. We've got NMH, Prime 4 (Maybe) and Zelda (probably) slated for next year, maybe another port or two in the first half of 2020. Future is looking very bright indeed.

  6. Man, I honestly marked out at Banjo. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, despite the rumours.

    I can imagine the reaction to DQ was the same in Japan. Nintendo really are on a roll. 

    I can't even imagine who the final two characters will be, and IF we get another fighter pass next fiscal year... oh boy.

  7. Picked up the original on Steam for £1.04 :laughing:

    Didn't like it at first, but persisted. The game is a LOT of fun when you get the hang of it. Rogue like fans may want to avoid Cadence, there's permanent upgrades to be unlocked. Dunno if the map will be randomly generated, given it's Zelda, but I've liked what I've played and managed to get deep into the second level. The music is astounding, I can't even imagine how good the Zelda remixes are going to be. Those on the fence, pick this up while it's on sale, give it a chance, it could surprise you. Certainly beats dropping £20+ on Zelda and not liking it.

    Yup. That moment impacted a few of us on here and it wouldn't have been half as epic if we knew it was possibly on the cards.

    I've just finished watching the EZA  stream of them watching the Microsoft conference and they mentioned just how amazing the From Software reveal would have been had everything about it not already leaked.

    I know a lot of gamers these days aren't that bothered but I like having those moments of utter disbelief and excitement when watching Directs or E3 shows.

    I honestly don’t understand what satisfaction people get finding out days or hours before, sitting at their computer reading a forum, compared to witnessing it live in the moment. 

    The most annoying this is it makes many parts of the gaming web inaccessible for days before a major event, and while it is fun to speculate, there’s always a danger you’ll find something out. 

    There is only ONE reason people leak, and that is to boost their own profile. I’m so tired of it.

  9. I do love the sweet justice in the fact they said they would reveal the Nintendo direct stuff on Sunday or Monday as a way of getting new followers, and then Nintendo took them down. If they had just slyly let the info out without the ego or arrogance, they probably would’ve got away with it.

    Seriously, these people are the absolute worst. The fact they have “journalist” in their twitter bio is an insult. I’d go with “an Internet nobody trying to be famous”.

    Hmm. Perhaps I should give it another go now then. Despite having put about 40 hours into the fame, I have yet to beat it the first time. I have met the Dragon a couple of times and could consistently get to the fourth level (that is, when I didn't go for the two secret levels) but always got my ass kicked. So I just played it to unlock better gear. 

    But if it has improved I may want to see if I can get through it. 

    Exactly the same for me, 40 hours in, seen the final boss but yet to finish the game. 

    I love this game so much, easily one of the best indies on the Switch. Anyone who dismisses it for being a roguelike is missing out sadly! 

    Great OST, amazing gunplay with fantastic enemies and surprisingly deep 'lore'.

    I got it for about £3. If it's ever on sale again, I don't see why anyone would skip by it, certainly worth a punt, and if you end up hating it, no big loss.

    I'd love to see Rare Replay come to Switch as well but it's one of those things I just can't see happening... until it happens, I'll believe it when I see it but would love it to happen.

    I was chatting about this yesterday, it makes no sense whatsoever to keep Rare Replay on Xbox. It's, what, three years old? It's draw as a console-selling exclusive is over. MS would have a million sales in week one if they released it on Switch. Probably over 5 minimum lifetime. Basically they could probably get at least a half return on the money they paid for Rare just by selling it on Switch :D
