@TheFrenchiestFry omdz, I wonder if they were inspired by the huge influx of money coming in as people picked up their final purchases.
Can't say I don't feel gutted that I've rushed to buy a load of stuff during a financially difficult time. I wish they'd just stuck to it really, unless they have plans to incorporate the purchases into the PS4/5 store in an effort to maintain our purchases across generations for some future backwards compatibility feature. Obviously that would be the most ideal outcome.
Well god damn, finally got around to starting God of War: Ghost of Sparta and I just managed to beat a section before I hung up the pad which I found extremely tough... maybe top 5 toughest gaming moments for me. So glad I managed it before I logged off as it would’ve been hanging over me all evening.
Good game, as I think all of the old God of War games are that I’ve tried so far. Wouldn’t say it’s ‘better’ than the original or Chains of Olympus but probably just as good. Hoping to pop the plat relatively early tomorrow as I want to start MGS3 as early as possible.
@RogerRoger thanks, yeah I mainly feel a laughable disappointment really. I go between wishing I had my money back so I can spend more time looking for better deals on physical (they do happen occasionally!) and just thinking exactly what you've said, I've got a load of potentially great games waiting for me when I'm ready. I might tick a few more off the list anyway while I'm on a spree (looking at that House of the dead bundle of 3, 4 and overkill)
I just tried crushing my DS3 under my admittedly weak grip. I never give firm handshakes because I don't like germs and I loathe the member-measuring power play of those who think it's a good idea to crush everyone's hands when they meet them. But yeah anyway lol it wouldn't crush. I reckon I could snap it in the middle though? Not keen to try it haha
Thankfully it's a rather short entry but it may be of slight yet unfulfilling interest. I can just imagine them receiving our forum posts and reading our confused bemusement with their own confused bemusement!
@RogerRoger I never played it but have only ever heard positive things. In terms of gameplay and ‘gameplay-loop’ what other games would you liken it too?
@RogerRoger cool, sounds fairly intriguing. Always enjoyed the various versions of the Into the West narrative too... so interested to play this version.
@RogerRoger haha nice, I really can't imagine you doing this though (not just because I don't know what you look like 😅). You always seem so level headed, it's good to see another side of you!
The most my games get from me is expletive ridden rants which make feel better and also make me laugh (because I'm that sad that I find myself funny 😅) I have a couple of go to phrases when I'm feeling less creative though like "F---! F---! F---! F---!...." For when I have to keep retrying a notoriously difficult bit of platforming (which I find fun) and a "This is bulls---!" For when some tedious repetitive combat is slowing me down (which I don't find fun). But yeah, I'm normally more creative 😂. Think AVGN but with a healthy dose of British vernacular. Thankfully not smashed anything though, that I can think of off the top of my head anyway. My original DS was taped together with masking tape after my old housemate knocked it off my bed back when I was at uni and the two halves separated!
@RogerRoger ahh he's alright, just gave me an excuse to finally upgrade to a 3DS (as well as the eventual price drop the 3DS had). I think I'd had the DS for like 7 years at that point lol. Besides, I quite liked it when it was taped up, it kind of had that rag tag do-anything-to-keep-it-going look to it!
You should see my car 😂. I've only got a bit of windscreen rubber lining taped down with duct tape on this one but my previous car had its rear bumper taped up on one side because of an unfortunate incident with a bollard. I will go in to detail because it was no simple crash 😅. I reversed into a bay to turn around at a site I was working at (random place because I am a contractor) and either the metal bollard that blocked the space was already bent over, it was too low to see or it was an automatic one that the security just happened to put up as I was reversing into the bay. Either way it got stuck right into my rear wheel arch which was a total ball ache because if I'd driven away full power it would have taken off the back end of my car. Luckily there was some unmanned road works near by and they had a bunch of paving slabs stacked up so I borrowed a few of them and made like a steep set of steps that my car could reverse up. I had to reverse up one to get the height, add another slab, reverse a bit more, add another slab and so forth. Eventually I unhooked myself from this bent and mangled bollard, returned the paving slabs and parked as far away as I could. Not sure if they had me on CCTV but security didn't say anything when I arrived but I was ready to defend my debacle with claims of a poorly placed/broken bollard that damaged my car just in case 😅. Luckily I never heard anything back about that!
It's good to laugh off your frustrations (talking about games now, not fights between automobiles and bollards!). There's other stuff that affects it too like fatigue. I've noticed in the past that it can take hours to do something in a game late at night but it's achieved easily the next morning. I know now that if I keep failing and it's gone midnight then it's probably just time to hang up the controller and try again tomorrow.
Not necessarily relevant but I just got reminded of when the Godfather came out on the Wii and I fell asleep while playing it, I woke up like half an hour later to a honking noise and my old fashioned vehicle was planted firmly into the side of a building. I also remember staying up late one night drinking with my mate and for some reason we started a 90 minute game of FIFA 2000 on PS1 (I hate football but love this particular iteration of FIFA because it's so arcade-y even though the rest of the series is painfully boring to me). Anyway after about 20 minutes and 30 goals (I said it was very arcade-y!) We both started to fall asleep and for the next hour and a bit would just randomly wake up and score a goal or two and fall back to sleep. But yeah, sorry for the trips down memory lane, they just popped into my mind so I thought I'd share!
@RogerRoger good stuff, I was going to get back in touch with him and let him know you were going to crush him like a DS3 😂. Just kidding of course!
And thanks for reading my digressions 😀, I love telling stories about the crazier parts of my life. Takes my mind off of how relatively boring it is now that I'm older 😅
@ralphdibny Not only do they charge delivery for each game, but games come from different stores, which resulted in several packages. I had 3 deliveries over the course of the day and 6 packages in total.
I’m looking forward to playing Max Payne 3! Not played it since it first came out.
@Bentleyma- all of that came from 3 different stores! I can understand charging delivery per store but I think they are taking the Mick by not refunding a portion of delivery for the extra games that came from the same store. They must be raking it in with p+p fees at the moment
Not only is the gameplay amazing, but the game also features one of the most emotional scenes in any Sonic game... Nay, one of the most emotional scenes in any game, period!
Here's my CEX/eBay haul. Unfortunately have to return one of the eBay games (not pictured) because it was mouldy. I still need to get a copy of Hitman HD collection for 360 because it is BC on xbone. I also would like to replace my 360 copies of 50 cent blood on the sand and Lost Via Domus with PS3 versions because they aren't BC and my 360 has long since died!
