Blade

Did anyone buy this? I did and i’ve just finished story mode. I played the Switch version and enjoyed it - classic 2D Sonic and they have really nailed the MegaDrive physics which is great to see. I agree with the review scores - it is a 7/10 game at best: - Graphics on Switch are pretty basic which is inexcusable when you have Mario Wonder showing beautifully. - Music is hit and miss. Such a shame they did not use the Sonic 2 boss theme imo - Camera is a little too close for my liking resulting in some cheap hits. - bonus stages are a little naff and uninspiring. - i’ve been glitched a few times resulting in once having to reset - unlockables are disappointing as they can only be used in the battle mode. I did enjoy it and it is very like the MegaDrive classics but it is not quite there. The bosses are great. Some of the levels do have a interesting twist too. After nearly 30 years since Sonic 3 & Knuckles, I think the 2D series should just be better than this game. I’d say this is the series Mario U moment - a little bland but standard 2d platforming. I enjoyed Mania more and wishes we had a Mania 2 instead. Discounting Mania, I think this is the best 2D Sonic game since the MegaDrive classics.

What type of game is this? I’ve read through some reviews - the impression I am receiving is a turn based RPG. What is this about rolling a dice and learning rules etc? I’m confused.

Not a bad game this evening

I got a third of what I wanted - Metroid Prime

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD please!

My copy arrived yesterday. As a HP fan, i’m really enjoying it so far. Granted only about an hour in…

Thanks for sorting me out. Appreciate it 😃

I am! Cheers pal

Is anyone able to gift me the water and grass starters for nothing remarkable in return? i’m a but miffed about this Charizard raid as I am no where near finishing the game and therefore cannot participate.

I bought Violet and it arrived this morning. I booked the day off work to get a few hours in whilst the kids were at nursery. i’m enjoying the open world element of the game. I’ve wanted Pokemon to be open world for years - probably in my head since the gameboy days. Only about 3 hrs in and enjoying the wide variety of pokemon at the beginning - some decent ones too! i’m never one to complain about performance issues (I really don’t see the difference between frame rates etc) but this is so awful. Absolutely dreadful.

Does anyone know if there are any differences in terms of performance and visuals between Switch and PS5 versions? I can’t decide which to buy it for.

I do miss the box art of the old games but thats not the worse of it. I don’t mind the graphics of the game as much. Yes, they’re not the improvement I was hoping or even expecting but it will do. i just hope the game adopts the modern mechanics. To be honest, i’m looking forward to giving it a go. I dropped Pokemon during the DS era so never played the original.

Me! I’m able to game now?

I’m up for some hunting. I’m also at 1 star.

My copy has arrived today! Looking like the earliest I can be online is probably Sunday evening though!
