Rummy Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just done Xeodrifter myself - not 100% but I'd say that's taken me 4 hours or so. I was pretty crap at tomes though - would def be faster on another pkaythrough. Was kinda not recognising how hard it can hit/how far it'll then set you back. Def old school vibe and very metroid inspired but probably just the rightish sort of length to stop me getting too frustrated/bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmario Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Finished Teslagrad yesterday. The art style in that game is fantastic. Really enjoyed the boss battles and the puzzles, both being just the right difficulty. Thats now 3 of the 4 PS4 games I've finished. Time to give Super Time Force Ultra another go.

drahkon Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Haven't tried any of the games, yet, but after reading some reviews I'm sad that Grow Home won instead of Armello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Next month's games: Broken Age (PS4/PS Vita) Super Meat Boy (PS4/PS Vita) Unmechanical Extended (PS4/PS3) Kickbeat (PS Vita/PS3) Kung Fu Rabbit (PS Vita/PS3) Chariot (PS3) Maybe I'll finally get around to playing Super Meat Boy! Although my brother would have to get back to playing Persona 4 and finish that first, so probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I've been wanting to try Super Meat Boy for years so this is good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Super Meat Boy is amazing, I'm probably not going to bother playing it again but if you didn't the first time, you're in for a treat. If you want a challenge, track down the I Wanna Be The Guy levels. They totally won't drive you insane with controller-wrecking anger. Not at all. Honest.

RedShell Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 So it seems like Super Meat Boy is the standout title from this (otherwise somewhat poohy ) list then. To be honest I'm kind of glad seeing as I'll have all 3 Uncharted games to play through this month anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I thought Broken Age was meant to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah Broken Age looks good. And I already bought the Unmechanical game a while ago. It's not bad either, I just wasn't really in the mood to think and it was a puzzler-ish title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah Broken Age Act 1 is meant to be fantastic. The second Act not so much... But I'll play it on Plus too when that's out. Thanks Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 All of Broken Age is good. The problem with the second act is that it reuses so many areas from the first act, but the puzzles are generally better. It's no Grim Fandango, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Broken Age, as a whole, is a pretty solid game. Though Act 2 does include more puzzles, the logic and thinking required to solve some of them is rather obtuse as you're more or less left in the dark to figure it out, with some of the multipart ones being rather unnecessarily trifling. I thought Act 1 was generally the stronger part from my play through as it didn't feel like it rushed to draw things to an end. Perhaps a third act, splitting up some of Act 2, or an epilogue to take some of that apart would've benefitted it on the whole. Pretty lean month for me in terms of what's on offer. Have played through Super Meat Boy back on the 360 and while it'll get some play time again, I probably won't be putting in the same amount of time to clear it as I did originally. Had been interested in Unmechanical Extended for a while so looking forward to trying that. But yeah, not too much to draw my attention away from the plethora of stuff I have sitting waiting to be completed (Mad Max, Tearaway Unfolded, The Order: 1886, The Walking Dead Season 1).

drahkon Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Super Meat Boy won't have the original OST. Instead it will feature a new soundtrack composed by musicians who worked on Binding Of Isaac Rebirth and Plants vs Zombies: Matthias Bossi and Jon Evans, known the world over as Ridiculon (whose most recent work includes The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth) provided the bulk of the soundtrack. They took care of The Forest, Hell, The Rapture, The End as well as the intro music and title screen. They also rescored all of the cutscenes and miscellaneous ditties. Their work is always stellar and their work on Super Meat Boy is no exception. Ready yourselves for some devilishly gruesome guitar work my friends. David “Scattle” Scatliffe of Hotline Miami fame used his unique moody style to create incredible tracks for The Hospital and the Salt Factory. His mastery will leave you wondering if the shakes you’re having are from the intense levels or the creepy/industrial bliss your ears are soaking in. And finally, Laura Shigihara of Plants vs. Zombies fame scored The Cotton Alley in her style to give Bandage Girl’s levels a gentle feminine touch that provides a fitting counterpoint to the hardest levels in the game. Source And there will be a Platinum...a fucking difficult one... Another thing players will notice is there is in fact a Platinum Trophy in Super Meat Boy. When deciding what trophies to put in to the PS4/Vita version, we wanted to make sure that when a player does finally earn the Platinum Trophy...that they feel like they've accomplished the impossible. While it's not impossible...it is...really REALLY hard. Basically you have your run of the mill trophies like unlocking the Kid, finding warpzones, beating the game, etc...but the really challenging trophies are the Iron Man trophies. The way Iron Man trophies are obtained is by beating all the levels (not counting boss, glitch and warpzone levels) in a chapters light world or dark world without dying. Each Chapter (with the exception of The End which has no Iron Man run) has two trophies, one for the light world Iron Man, one for the dark world Iron Man. Not sure if I'll go for it... Anyway, will go on vacation for three days with my girlfriend on Tuesday. I told her I'll bring my Vita and play Super Meat Boy. She didn't seem to mind. Let's see how she'll react to my rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I didn't even get around to starting last month's games. I'm not sure if I even got to play the ones before that. The backlog grows larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I didn't even get around to starting last month's games. I'm not sure if I even got to play the ones before that. The backlog grows larger. I had a fair crack with last months and really thought I'd keep making the most of them going forward, but it seems this month must have just disappeared into a haze of Terraria and Destiny as the only one I touched was Super Meat Boy! I might make it a point to try and working through Broken Age soon though, as I hear good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Rumoured PS+ lineup. My nephew will be gutted if this is true. Him and a friend just bought Magicka 2 last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right! They're just the PS4 titles. Not really clued-up on either of those though, they any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Had Magicka 1 on Steam but my graphics card and/or PC was a bit shitty about it for some reason - was playable but stuttering. Sure it was something I actually later fixed with a driver update, but it was beyond me caring enough to go back to Magicka then - so I'd actually be super chuffed for that on PS4! Hopefully play with a few peeps here if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If the rumours are true, then season 1 of The Walking Dead is on a halloween sale at the moment, so that would be great timing indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
