F1 2018 (gamepass) Last time I played a F1 game was 2011-ish and the games are lot better and more new user friendly now. But the AI can hit your car and get no penalty, few times the AI smacked my car and I got the time penalty warning, fuck off codemasters. I was first at the chequered flag and ended up 3 place. I hate when games do this. Also I not a fan of testing all the car improvements that you need to do in the game Hopefully F1 2020 is better as its good racer. The career mode needs to be more interesting as press interviews are just give answer and you get +1 or -1 to aerodynamics team or rival team. |

Red Dead Redemption 2
This is a weird one... It's so attractive to me (which is to say, walking through the world hunting deer is so attractive to me) that I actually fear trying to play it without being sure of how much time I can sink into it. Busy IRL now, and perhaps forevermore~
Can't really rate it.
Jedi Knight Fallen Order
I loved this, loved sharing it with my awestruck girlfriend, I just haven't yet forgiven it for the 9th sister being so frigging annoying to beat! I will eventually, I'm sure. It's still installed.
8.5/10
Valkyria Chronicles 2 (PSVita)
I've got a bunch of Vita games I would like to play more, this is of course a [fantastic] PSP title, but I've been playing it on my Vita. I got to a certain mission that required me to get a highly explosive tank fuel barrel or something through a gauntlet.. it was sooo hard that I instantly lost all will to complete it. I will be back, I'm sure. Just gotta buff up my squad some more I guess~

Flashback
Absolutely hate the controls. It is just so clunky. I like the idea of it structurally and it is a pity there is not much like it in the modern era but mechanically it has aged really badly.
Fortunately I bought it in a really deep sale. So I feel it was worth paying that just to see what this almost mythical game was like. As a Megadrive owner this was one of those games I remember wanting to play at the time.
I agree about the controls: You really need to adjust to them. They're quite methodical, as in when you started a motion it will follow through with that before you can do the next. Coming from games like Dead Cells that really took some getting used to.
I did complete it though. Partly because I had it on the Amiga and never got out of the jungle ("unfinished business"). And partly because I'm doing the PWYGGWYP challenge (so I had to
). There were actually only two real rage-inducing sections, but all-in-all I really liked it. -

I’ve had no stability issues but have definitely hit a point where the fun is gone. I don’t know if I overlevelled or anything but I’m ridiculously overpowered, to the extent where I’m basically playing with a god mode button. With the bio electric evolutions your dodge becomes a massive damage dealer, and because dodge negates all damage you take and has no recharge or limits you can stand in the spot and press R1 repeatedly to complete the entire infamy track automatically without taking a shred of damage. And it’s not like you have much of a choice as dodge is an essential move that you quickly die without. I’m only about two thirds through the game at this point.
Until they fix the stability Maneater is on hold, which is a shame as it's quite fun.
Shame because up to that point it was an enjoyable b-game.

Registered 15 years agoI think I'm in the final region in Maneater now. It was fun for a while, but is definitely getting a bit thin now. Doesn't help that I hit the level cap quite a while ago and have maxed all the abilities I want to use. I was being pretty thorough on side-objectives early on, but it feels like there's no point now.
I'll probably finish it off tomorrow - one more session should do it. It's a fun B-game, but feels overpriced. I got it with a £10 discount on the EGS sale, which takes some of the sting out.
No crashes so far on PC, but certain lighting effects (for instance when you eat an albino creature) cause the framerate to briefly plummet to single digit levels on a 9900K/2080Ti combo. -

Registered 17 years agoI did start by trying to get all the side missions, but I think I'll try and just progress the story so it doesn't get old before I've finished. I'm really hoping for a patch soon, so I can play it for a decent session. -

I want to like it but the combat is just really poor, on the island with the vodoo tribe and the game just throws lots of spiders etc that are hit sponges that you have to chip away at. I know riposte skill helps a lot but its lot of glory points you need to get to it. The devs had the chance to fix the game on ps4 but these smaller rpg devs don't seem to understand what is wrong with their games -
@Rogueywon
I keep looking at Maneater. I noticed its under £24 @cdkeys. Might take the plunge for that.
Or i could just get the console version on disc and get rid of it once i've had my fill.

Registered 17 years agoOn console it appears to be quite unstable. Apparently on PS4 there's a crash that deletes your save, so it might be worth waiting for some stability fixes. -
Well i guess i can wait and the price wont go up. The epic sale is on until June 11th so will keep an eye out. -

Registered 14 years agoAnother vote for RDR2.
Game is an unparalleled technical accomplishment with a dizzying attention to detail but I just don't seem to be enjoying playing it and find myself quitting after half an hour to an hour.
Like many others have said the controls and 'feel' of the character are a near constant bugbear and there seems to be a different button needed for every action you perform. Still don't really understand why R* insist upon the whole 'rapidly tap X' to sprint thing either. Finished Days Gone before starting this and it was a joy to play in comparison.
I also really dislike the way the game dictates at times when you can run, when you can draw your weapon and even when/who you can shoot. Those things should largely be my choice in a game like this.
Have started playing Prey instead (very impressed so far) and hopefully will return to this down the line and something will click for me because the world that R* has made is a complete masterclass. -

This is the first one I've played and I really don't understand the praise it gets. The only good thing is collecting them but the novelty of that quickly wears off.

I thought Days Gone was genuinely terrible, some dated mission design (following people talking while hiding), loading EVERYWHERE, terrible ai and truly cringe lead character. Oh and it ran like shit.
