*chef kissing fingers*



What a great fight. No idea how I clawed that back.

metroid Samus returns is hitting all of my pleasure sensors. Firstly a delight to fire up the old 3ds again. Then a delight to see Samus back in 2d. And then it turns out that this is a modern metroid, with the nostalgia and all the quality of life things you would expect from a 2017 game. Ohhhhh it's good eating

Is that The Great One or whatever it's called? I was disappointed with the DLC and the boss.

Just finished my second Dishonoured 2 playthrough. It's a crazy amount of fun when you let yourself off the leash of non-lethal/stealth and do what you will in NG+ with most powers from Corvo and Emily already unlocked. Definitely helps that the story telling and LORE this time around were bobbins.

I started a murderous playthrough with Corvo but got distracted/Bone started playing up. Need to get back. Looks fun being a murderous  cunt. 

In hindsight, whilst it wasn't as good as first game or as fresh, it was still thoroughly enjoyable with some great bits.

Currently working my way through Sonic Mania on the Switch - I picked it up for my holiday flight a few weeks ago and I've stuck with it since I've got back - really enjoying it!

Just the right amount of difficulty, a brilliant soundtrack and it feels like they've taken a page from Mario Galaxy's book - they introduce little gameplay/traversal mechanics that are only used once - it keeps the whole thing feeling fresh.

Also spent the entirety of yesterday evening with Yakuza 0 Probably my GOTY so far - I absolutely love it. I've just gotten to chapter 3 and the story has me hooked. I lost a good 45 minutes at the bowling alley and the on the UFO machines - it does everything I liked about Shenmue perfectly.

Magicka, and the sequel, are exactly the types of games that sound great on paper and that I think I'll like but, when I get to actually playing them, I get bored easily. Just not my thing, unfortunately.

Anyone fancy joining me on Steam then??

mayber. will see what request for steam vouchers nets me and whats left after must buys.

Just done the first hour or so of Child of Light. I like it so far.

Weird choice of difficulty levels: Casual or Expert. Don't feel like either TBH. Went for Expert and it seems like the right decision - makes the combat a decent challenge.

But is it better than am2r?

Reviews suggest mercury steam's remake is pretty good.
Am2r is also very good in a more traditional way. Definitely rivals nintendo's own gba efforts in quality and gameplay.

Am2r or Mercury Steam's effort?
Anyways, Reg likes it so it must be good?

Pleasure paradise?
Sounds like porn haven (good enough) for me.

Just played the first few shines of Super Mario Sunshine on Gamecube. A game that has been lying in my pile of shame for over a decade. Seeing some youtube content of speed runs has provoked me into playing it. Now that my gamecube is hooked up to my retro CRT with an official RGB SCART lead this shows GC games off at their best. It looks absolutely gorgeous.

The odd camera episode aside this is enjoyable so far - I gave up on this when I first played it and actually traded it in when my attitude to gaming was less than positive. Was a big deal at the time given my Nintendo fanboyism then. Think I may come to appreciate this now.

Sunshine is a Mario I'd like to re do. I too gave up on it but I remember really liking the feel of the whole thing - just irl got in the way. Would like a retro release on switch at some point I think although, as has been pointed out, that'd be pretty tricky without the analogue triggers.

I'd like to double dip on 3D world too on switch. This is much more likely and I expect to see it during 2018.
