Yoss, do you fancy co-op SoR4 at some point? I'm determined to finish it on Mania but level 7 is proving too much for me.

I am, yes. I’ve not gone near mania yet, be fun to try. Possibly in that gap between Christmas and New Year?

Unlikely

Sounds good. I'm off now until the 5th January so I'm sure there'll be an opportunity. Doesn't need to be Mania, just giving co-op a shot would be fun. I've only played solo so far.

afgavinstan

I would like to join this, please. Working shifts though so don't hold yourselves back for me.

Unlikely

Excellent, I'm sure we can find a time or times that suit us all.

Yossarian

Yay!

Although, it may only be two player online.

Still, I’ll happily do a few run throughs. I’ve got plenty of characters I’ve not yet completed it with as yet.

Unlikely

Ah yes, looks like online co-op is limited to two players. Three and four player co-op is local only.

Yossarian

You’re both welcome over to mine.

Unlikely

Great. Gav, I'll pick you up in about three hours.

afgavinstan

Sound. I'll just tell the patients I'm moving I've got better plans.

(fr tho, you guys crack on)

Greedfall, 2003 wants its game back.

Im tempted to buy Star WArs Squadrons on pc. But I have a psvr and getting my ps5 after christmas sometime. IS it worth waiting to pick up the VR version?

DKC3 on switch online collection. I recall this getting some hate back in the day; from what I've played it seems like the best one.

hylian_elf

Smash. Cos Sephiroth. The best.

Why sit in front of a small screen when you can play in a cockpit is the question and answer (:

I have fond memories of that one, seemed really well put together.

You raise a valid point. However Ill be playing on my 49inch tv and the game is 13euro on epic. I might not have a ps5 for a couple months (until poxy gamestop can get their act together). Hmmmmmm

EDIT: Im leaving Squadrons till ps5. Instead I bought Control Ultimate Edition for 14 euro. Nice.

Bits n bobs when I can get time at the moment.

Cyberpunk
Is more enjoyable now that I've given up any pretence on a 'roleplaying' adventure and am treating it as a narrative shooter with dialogue choices. My handguns are pretty much headshot makers at the moment. The world and aesthetics remain storming, just wish I got the hook from the narrative. There's enough that I'll see it through over Xmas.

Star Wars Squadrons
Bought for £11 on Epic. Played 2 missions. That's some starbois. When the sounds and the music kick in it's a rush. I'm sure I'll get the 11 pounds out it even if I don't really do any MP. Although I do wanna try a B Wing because they're stupid.

Super Mario Galaxy
Had planned to keep this one from the 3D set clear till Christmas and I'm glad I did so. Whilst I replayed G2 about 4 years ago, I haven't touched this one since 07 and it's feeling like playing a new Mario game. Stuff I can barely remember. After seeing 999 moons done in Odyssey in May, and 120 stars done in 64 in October, I'll see this year out with this bad boy.

Huh? You reminding yourself

Moot_Geeza

Yep, my memory is ridiculous so I need the assist.

Moot_Geeza

Hanging my head slightly at how easily you two breezed the epic back to back climb. It did not go like that for my playthrough.

Moot_Geeza

Enjoyed the No Way Out vid chaps, such a wonky belter. "How does Vincent know this?" for the window tap was toplols.

Played a few of of my Switch sale purchases. Quick thoughts on those...

Door Kickers: Action Squad - good once you get used to what it wants, although I am using the shotgun guy which is the easy mode. Can see this being legit in co-op.

X-Morph Defence: Took a punt based on the huge discount more than anything else, although the reviews are solid. Tower defence (eurgh), RTS (ehhh) twin stick shooter (WHEY!) hybrid. Seems pretty good at what it does so far, nifty enough visuals for a random EShopper too, but if the next session doesn't grab me I'm unlikely to go back.

The Almost Gone: Another hefty discount. Slow paced isometric puzzle game that I'm quite enjoying so far, got through chapter one on the way to work. Shades of Gone Home or Blackwood Crossing, albeit with a very different style of play.

Also bought Darkwood and The Flame in the Flood to see if I can up my survival game at some point.

Columbo: Wonderful 101 has won me over too, against my better judgement. Three chapters in.

Djornson

cosby wasn't confident in this back to back climb ability, i had faith in him

acemuzzy

Me and @nina executed it faultlessly, iirc

Quick update on Call of the Sea.
On paper, this should be utterly perfect for me. I love the setting, time period, and art style with gameplay possibly in a similar vein to Firewatch. But its not grabbing me at all. Ive no real issues with the gameplay or anything just a few niggles like I dont like the voice of Norah. The actor did a much better job in Firewatch. The game just doesnt grab me. I dont want to keep comparing it to Firewatch, but that grabbed me from the start.
Real shame actually.
Ill finish it, but maybe after Control.

Been meaning to try door Kickers. Think it's in my pile o shame on steam. Top down rainbow six/xcom thing yeah?

Darkwood does some things. Scared the shit out of me and the controls are a little unintuitive in spots, but damn, it's got a vibe.

I never finished it, but game flame and flood a reasonable try. A lot to like.

Warframe

You heard of Kris kristofferson?

Yeah.

Well I'm Grind Grindoftenson.

(Matty j or meme folks only hope on that niche "joke," yikes)

What a funny old game.

If you put free content on a paid conveyer belt is it still free, or content?

Or something.

Anyway, warframe has been fab fun for me this year.

There is always gonna be a certain feeling at the back of the mind where you want the movement and the shooting etc to be housed in a more curated and polished game, but then you can also just forget that and just jump and dive around like a robot space ninja aiming for style points in your own head against absolute brain-dead cannon fodder and enjoy the ride.

Just about to hit mr14, which is the last rank I need to be able to, in theory, access any weapon in the game. Have well over 20 warframes now, and a cracking selection of weapons. 300+ hrs in, haven't really sniffed proper end game ranks yet. With all my best shit I can kinda hang with level 40 to maybe 60 (and even then, it'd need to be an easy mission type) and the 60-70 stuff I'd limp through even with a squad.

Its a bit fuzzy, but end game sits 80 to 100+ kinda levels, so yeah.... Would need to grind a heck of a lot more.

And I may. Game is very well suited, once you're up and doing stuff, for quickish sessions. You can duck on, do a handful of 5-10 minute missions, do all your mmo crafting and shopping etc in your ship and then stop. Or you can just jump on and do a survival style mode which is technically endless, but realistically folks just do for 20 minutes or until they start dying too much.

I could use bows in this game forever, absolutely one of my all time fav weapons. OP crits and takes the hl2 crossbow shtick of pinning folks to walls to a ridiculous extreme. And I love it.

Runs like a boss on any old pc and on mine is running at rock solid 130+fps with uber shinies all the way up, especially with the new graphix upgrades for the new consoles.

Get Clem!

This one isn't that one, mine's a sort of pseudo sequel/spin-off. Think more tactical Not a Hero/BroForce:

The original is supposed to be pretty good though.

Moot_Geeza

These types of games can be quite hit and miss, but Sea of Solitude is getting things mostly right so far. Up to chapter 7 and it'll have to shit the bed and smear it around a bit not to end up as a nice little gamepass curio.

Djornson

I enjoyed it and it felt like... a meaningful expression of emotion

Howdy, Stranger!
