Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 11 hours ago, Quintus said: You're essentially playing the franchises in the wrong order, but hey ho. It'd be like seeing The Mummy and then watching Raiders after it. Also, if you ever do play Uncharted, I'd skip straight to the second game. The first one is very crude now, and it was never that great to begin with. Uncharted 2 however probably still looks decent and it's the best one. It's a fabulous adventure game. Have you played Bluepoint’s remaster? Drake’s Fortune is significantly improved in terms of visuals and performance. They did a great job with it.

It's mechanically inferior to the sequels, as well as visually. NG really refined the movement and shooting mechanics after the first game; I remember the shooting gameplay in the original is pretty rote by today's standards.

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Alright , finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Good game but the core mechanics felt like a mixture of Far Cry, Horizon Zero Dawn and Assassin's Creed. These maps full of icons and collectibles are starting to feel familiar. I liked solving the tomb puzzles the best and that's what sets it apart. I'l try to do the 2 previous ones to see what happened before in the story. Alright next up is The Surge 2, a scifi souls like game .First one was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the boss fights have been cool so far too. Great game. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,373 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Got to play SteamWorld Dig 2 twice since my last post. The Vectron area was the COOLEST area in the game by far, completely different aestethic, and holy shit inducing moments when the robots wake up and start charging at you, talk about intense! I am sure I missed some secrets in there, hopefully just gems, because I don't think there's a way to go back in. Now I'm trying to destroy 3 Doomsday machines, already did the first one in an area near the beginning of the game, now it looks like the other two are deep down in new areas. Luckily I got the jetpack upgrade which is SO COOL! The freedom of exploration now is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a while, but the second one, even with its very bleak tone--the darkest "big" Star Wars story?--definitely won me over the first one. The first one is a fun romp, while the second one gets much deeper with its themes, characters and settings. I promise I didn't just copy that from a Star Wars-Empire Strikes Back review. I like the music better too. Tydirium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tydirium 1,167 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The music in the second one is by Mark Griskey, who composed the music for the Narnia games as well as THE FORCE UNLEASHED—all good video game scores. It also sounds live(?), at least more-so than the obviously-sampled first game's soundtrack. This soundtrack definitely made more of an impression on me than the first one. But yes, I agree about the themes as well. Kreia has become an instant favorite SW character of mine; great voice(!), and genuinely interesting from a philosophical perspective. I wish the new canon under Disney would reintroduce her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,373 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Finished SteamWorld Dig 2! 3 sessions ago I ventured into the temple and cleared that doomsday machine 2 sessions ago I went down the main mine looking for the third but only found a platforming challenge, so then i realized I had to go back into the plant area, and that's where I found the third and final doomsday machine Yesterday afternoon I head back into the plant area to take the pipe to see Rosie, and was shocked after getting there and going in the door, that there was just one boss fight, which I beat on my first try, and the game was over! Great ending and final cutscene and additional end credits story through pictures, etc. Very satisfying. Completion time was around 12 hours. But then it told me my secret percentage was a mere 59% I wasn't even close to having all the equipment either, I still had tons of things left to buy and I think I only had like 18 out of 42 artifacts, and tons of upgrades to unlock. SO! I immediately went back in and HAD A FREAKING BLAST looking for everything I missed. One by one I went into every cave until they all got a checkmark. Many caves I had only entered then immediately left, and while also trying to fill in the entire map I found many caves I had never found before at all! Along the way I found two ENTIRE powerups I never had - a grenade launcher, and a longer grappling hook. The grenade launcher is a bit underwhelming, not really sure what use-cases it has. The longer grappling hook is basically completely pointless, as by the time I found it I already had the fully upgraded jetpack so I could basically hover infinitely anywhere. When all was said and done, I got stuck with 40 out of 42 artifacts, 2 areas showing me 100% secrets found, and the other four areas showing me 93-96% secrets found. And now I have all upgrades purchased except the final jackhammer one(s). I have NO IDEA how to find the last 2 artifacts, everything on my map looks filled in! I guess I have to look up a list of artifacts and compare it to the ones I have or something. Blerg. I kind of want to since I am so close to 100%. Great game, highly recommended. I'll probably be at 14 hours or so when I hit 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It looks spectacular , especially in HDR. The design is breathtaking. I'm taking my time. I explored the lake a first time, did some sidequests, cleared Alfheim, went up the mountain and now I'm at the phase where the water level went down another time. I think that's still early in the game. Negatives: You can't fall when jumping gaps or climbing walls. In Tomb Raider or a Souls game you can fall and die so the environment is not as "dangerous" as I'd like. And maybe too many "invisible walls" Also there's no DLC's and I'd do them for this game Also I'd like to use the classic controls where light and strong attack are mapped to Square and Triangle instead of RB and RT (because it just works better), BUT then shooting the Axe is also remapped to Square and Triangle and that doesn't work because you can't aim with the right stick at the same time. Most games automatically re-map shooting to RT as soon as you activate the left aiming trigger but they forgot or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 I enjoyed God of War despite my thinking it took an age to get going and then later I thought it dragged on too long. I didn't clear every side mission, focusing mainly on the main questline. Even that was exhausting, but I appreciated the fine video game craft that went into it all nonetheless.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I found the game to be a perfect length. I never got bored with it. I wanna say it took me around 30-40 hours to 100% everything, which is the sweet spot for me. Taking on the Valkyries in the endgame was the true highlight of the combat mechanics. @King Mark you’ll enjoy those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 My average playtime for game is usually 2-3 times the "average" But in this game there's no way to check it. Same with Tomb Raider. I don't understand why they couldn't include "total play time" in the save window at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 It’s a bizarre thing that’s absent from the PlayStation Network. They do track hours played in the backend, they just don’t make it public until the end of the year and put it into a little presentation for you. Strange choice.
