Triple-post, sorry Finished Celeste. This is what I consider the perfect game. Beautiful to look at, wonderful music, emotional story, spot-on gameplay and challenging until the very end. It doesn't get any better than that. Will definitely get the Platinum without assist mode. Using it wouldn't do this incredible game justice.

Sounds good. Ordered a copy from ebay just now. Will hopefully get it on Friday

It's on sale for 10€ right now. Would you say it's worth it? Actually, I could get a used copy on ebay for about 7-8€

Ok...so Chapter 6 of Celeste is one of the greatest video game moments I have ever experienced. 40 minutes of nothing but excellence. Everything about this game fell into place and it was perfect. There is no other word to describe this. It was perfect.

Finished chapter 5 of Celeste just now. Not sure how I feel about it. The game has been incredible so far but the mechanics of chapter 5...hm, don't like 'em. Not looking forward to replaying it for the strawberries. And I'm dreading the thought of playing the B-Side if it also includes those mechanics... Anyway, still enjoying the game. It's tight and precise 2D platforming at it's best. I've died 764 times so far (finished chapters 1-5 and two B-sides). Yup, this game's difficult and I love it Going for the Platinum without assist mode might break me. Can't wait Edit: Eh...so chapter 6 was weirdly emotional. I couldn't relate 100% but some words hit hard. Jeez, didn't expect that.

YEEEEES, Been waiting for this to come to PS4 for a looong tame. I've played it for a couple of hours on PC a few of years ago and thought it was amazing. It's a F2P game but apparently one done well (i.e. only cosmetic, except for upgrades to certain stashes which you don't really need during the first 100 hours, I've read). Looks like I've found my Christmas game Also: Perfect timing to announce this right after Blizzard's fuck up

WAIT WAIT WAIT nekunando is saying something video game taste related that makes sense and is not just hot garbage? I must be dead.

I don't like Game #1 and I've played Game 2# last year. So my vote goes to Game #3!

Looks like there will be a bit of a shake-up coming in the wonderful world of football. If it's true what I've been reading so far I might actually be done for good with watching this sport...at the very least I will be done being an FC Bayern Munich fan. Just google "Football Leaks" and enjoy the ride.

To preface: Anyway... No release date or business model have been announced, yet, but it's Activision and a mobile game so...TAKE A FUCKING GUESS.

Finished Yoku's Island Express just now. What a lovely little game. If someone told 10 year old me that I'm going to play a pinball-metroidvania game when I'm a grown man I would've not believed him. It is a pretty neat genre combination I have to admit. It's not a difficult game, it's actually really easy but it was enjoyable. Getting around the island in order to acquire enough fruit to advance was a little cumbersome at times but overall it's a great game. Not sure when/if I'm going to mop up the remaining trophies, though. I've had my fill of this game for now.

Definitely, but I'm not that into horror. Is it a movie with lots of jump-scares?

Awesome! I already feel sorry for my mate's neighbours. We'll scream and curse non-stop and it'll only get worse once the beer is empty

You think it will take @Hero-of-Time one whole week to complete the game? Two days max. Two of my best friends and I have taken the 7th off from work. We'll meet up and play Ultimate until the weekend's over. Just like we did with Melee 16 years ago...Jeez, 16 fucking years ago. Can't wait Beer, Pizza, Smash and banter. What else could you need

Reading the game's subreddit is hilarious. So many people complaining about the Black Market (progression system based on tiers you get by simply playing matches - rewards are cosmetics only). Apparently a lot of them don't find the game enjoyable anymore because Activision uses it to make money. While I can agree that the publisher's actions are the worst, it's funny to me that people have less fun with the game in general just because of some cosmetics and the fact that it's almost impossible for the casual player to get them all. I simply just play the game and enjoy it It's high-octane action in multiplayer, slower-paced tension in Blackout and just insanity in Zombies.

Well, holy fucking shit...looks like Dead Cells will become a totally different affair with the next patch. Apparently there will be lots of changes to mechanics that are in the game right now...here are some snippets that I took from reddit: Really like that. Right now it's kind of insane how easily enemies in the final biome can kill you. With this change the following is a no-brainer: Good! While I haven't unlocked a lot of skills/grenades and therefore haven't really encountered the skill-spamming-and-wrecking-everything-method, I appreciate this change. Will make the game more mechanical (for a lack of better word). There are some changes I'm not too keen on, but to be honest those might all be balanced out by the big one: no more mob scaling. Here's the reddit post. It's speculation based on dev's posts/comments but seems not too far fetched. I'm actually thinking about pausing my progress with the game and wait for both patches. However, they do seem far away, especially on console (I think PC gets updates first). Difficult choice Anyway...probably a pointless post since nobody aside from @Ronnie and me are playing this

Christ, that was 3 years ago already? Time moves way too fast

@Jonnas will tell us

ehem Dead Cells bye

Oh, that's a great month. I assume that Yakuza: Kiwami is a nice entry into the series?

via Businesswire Holy shit.

And there it is. My first successful run in Dead Cells. It was my 19th attempt. (stats say I died 13 times so far, no idea where the remaining 6 failed runs come from, though ) Took me about an hour. I was very deliberate with every move and decision throughout the whole ordeal. This was the loadout that secured my win: I fell in love with a Tactics build. The legendary Sinew Slicer and the Double Crossb-o-matic are awesome. They let you abuse most enemies' AI since they always stay in line of sight and you can just drop down and let the turrets do the job However, certain enemies have moves that can ruin this approach by e.g. teleporting to you. Anyway... The final boss fight almost ruined me yet again. It started well, but his last phase and moveset still fucks me up. I killed him with only about 10% of my own HP to spare. Phew Now the game has given me the choice of doing a run in "normal" or "hard" mode. I think I'll pass on a higher difficulty for now and try to find more blue prints. Dead Cells is a perfect example for a great "just-one-more-try-game". It kept me away from RDR2 and CoD: Black Ops 4 in the past few days. And here's something that made me chuckle to end this post:

via Pushsquare Well, fuck you then. Will be a 10€ used-copy-purchase for me further down the line

Log Entry #3 It was a long journey. Meticulously I explored a foreign scenery. Dead bones decaying without rest. Empty skulls gazing through my every move. The battles fierce and messy. Occasional wrong decisions, missed swings and an onrush of slimey, juicy beings made out of corpses rendered progress difficult. In the end I prevailed and was able to make the rune I was searching for my own. With new found confidence I marched on, slaying beasts, improving my skills and gaining riches. Familiar surroundings presented no challenge until the end of my journey was near. The final enemy. One last battle to decide whether life or death prevails. Swords, lightning, ice, poison, spikes, broken bones, cuts, wounds, bruises, blood, sweat, grenades, fire...elements of war clashed and made the clock's hands move faster without anybody noticing. Instinct took over, thoughts escaped the mind, muscles moved without help. Mechanical, robotic, unconscious. In the end...death was victorious and the journey is over... ... for now. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dead Cells. In case you're wondering: I enjoy the game quite a lot

Wow. Only once? I'm disappointed.
