Making some steady progress on MGS: Peace Walker, on Act 5 where you have to continuously find Zardonov after he escapes about 6 or 7 times... and built Zeke so I now have my own Metal Gear. Going straight from MGSV to PW has been interesting in terms of where they stand in the overall series’ chronology, the difference in age of the games and the vast difference in hardware capabilities for the systems that they were each originally designed for. It still holds up pretty well all things considered.
@colonelkilgore PW was such an amazing game for the PSP and it’s particularly crazy that it was only on handheld for so long given how key the story is in the big picture.
The Fulton system and Mother Base works really well on handheld too and upgrading Zeke by getting parts from repeatedly beating bosses also worked well on a handheld system.
Oh lord... Seems we both had mediocre/bad gaming experiences yesterday @RogerRoger 😅
Shame to hear that the first Medal Of Honor you've tried of that collection you bought isn't that good. My dad was a big fan of the PS1 games and I seem to recall them being pretty good myself too... I haven't touched 'em in about twenty years or even thought about the series for that long mind you.
Well aside from that one blip a few years back whrre they tried to revive it on PS3 that wasn't well recieved either?
I imagine it was extremely difficult on PSP what with the one analog stick etc. still must’ve been one of the best games in the system even with that considered.
@RogerRoger@colonelkilgore Yeah, I played it on the PSP (one of only a few games I had for it along with MGS: Acid, Pro Evo, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and then a load of PS1 classics via the PS3 store).
It felt like a pretty huge game to be on the PSP and the episodic formate that they used in MGS5 worked well to give it set end points for shorter bursts of play (I found it a bit annoying in MGS5). I'm surprised it took so long to get onto the main consoles.
@RogerRoger Crikey, it's probably close to a decade since I played it and I don't think I got very far with it as it wasn't quite what I was expecting and the gameplay didn't click with me at all. Deck building at the RNG elements that come with it aren't my bag baby.
Still playing Tales of the Neon Sea on my iPad. It’s gotten mixed reviews, which it should get. Funny story but the puzzles are pretty mundane. It’s cheap so no complaints overall.
The PSVR is the best VR system on the market today.
I went back to Suikoden on my Vita last night, which I haven’t touched in about a year and a half. I forgot how brilliant it was and also how incredibly obtuse and long winded it was! I think I’m near the end actually, Gremio just died so might finish it in the near future. I also stumbled across a gambling game thing and accidentally made 999999 money in a few minutes. Either that dude’s terrible at dice or I got very very lucky.
@TheLightSpirit But Connery was the best, and funniest. His look of utter disdain every time he was told Q was about to arrive are some of the best small moments in all the Bond films.
@RogerRoger@TheLightSpirit I had Rogue Agent on GameCube back in the day and it’s hilarious seeing it on 2 discs as if it’s some kind of massive AAA experience when it’s just a bit terrible! I remember it being really hard too, especially the Golden Gate Bridge level. The multiplayer was quite fun though as there were some silly weapons to use.
@RogerRoger Yep, Hoover Dam sounds about right. I knew the Golden Gate Bridge was in there somewhere! The dual-wielding mechanic was actually pretty good for the time to be honest. The whole ‘golden eye powers’ thing is just bonkers though.
My wee brother finished his home schooling stuff a bit early today so we played a game of the original Mario Party. Even on easy difficulty we got slaughtered by Peach. I’m trying to find a good retro game we can work our way through in co-op that isn’t too hideously overpriced these days but not sure what’s out there that isn’t a beat-em-up. I was thinking maybe Toejam & Earl but it’s really weird and esoteric. Zombies Ate My Neighbours is another possibility. Also strangely tempted to bring out The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on GameCube from storage, I remember that being great fun!
I started up Ori and The Blind Forest, after my time spent on Hollow Knight and... it's fine. Controls feel a bit floaty. So I then booted up Hollow Knight again on Switch and have put another 4 hours into that. I think I may have a problem.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
