Trails Of Cold Steel 1 & 2 @mcdreamer have been on sale a couple of times for mid twenties or thereabouts. Pretty sure they were on sale just a few weeks back digitally so ya may have to wait a while.

But if you don't mind grabbing a physical copy (That actually comes with a manual that has some 4 panel comics at the back of it if you're into that sorta thing) you can grab a copy for £25 or so off of amazon... Grabbed my copies of 1 & 2 for £21 each off of "Base" and "thegamecollection" just a couple weeks ago

Oh wow can't say no to Danganronpa: Ultra Despair girls for the ridiculously low price of £3.99!

The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Of Cold Steel 2 & DOOM 64 on PS4 is the agenda for the weekend.

Made quite a dent in Cold Steel 2 yesterday. It feels quite different to the first in tone and how it's structured but I'm enjoying it all the same.

DOOM 64's really quite enjoyable as well even if I'm using that quicksave function a bit too regularly.

Have a good weekend everyone & stay safe!

Oh... Well don't I feel sheepish @get2sammyb. I'm just gonna go hide in the corner now

I think you might wanna have a look at that last sentence in the first paragraph @get2sammyb. The "FromSoftware Stans" might appreciate it

Mortal Shell does look fairly interesting and dare I say quite good from the two trailers I've seen. I've not quite gelled with the combat with some of the other Souls-likes I've tried myself but I'll be keeping my eye on it none the less.

Hopefully the reviews will be favourable!

I'll be making my through Trails Of Cold Steel on PS4.

Just reached Chapter 4's practical exam and the pieces are slowly starting to fall into place with where the story might be going. Really enjoying it so far!

Have a good weekend everyone!

One of the best games under the SMT banner!

9 out of 15 ain't too bad at all

Trails Of Cold Steel on PS4. Currently on the third chapter and really enjoying myself with it.

So much so I've been neglecting Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night a bit (A lot) Also on PS4.

I'll be playing this over the weekend hopefully to make up for it lol.

Have a good weekend everyone and stay safe! 😀

The main bulk of my weekend will be Trails Of Cold Steel 1 on PS4 for the first time. On my first field study and it's quite enjoyable so far! I quite like the cast of characters and I'm really quite fond of all the music so far too

There'll possibly be a bit of Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night & Injustice: God Among Us thrown in the mix as well.

I'll be playing Bloodstained Ritual of The Night on PS4 for the majority.

Might play some Dragon's Crown Pro as well when I fancy a break from the gothic Metroidvania. About halfway through my initial run as the Amazon.

Stay safe and have a good weekend everyone! 😁

That's way too gaudy looking for me personally... It looks even worse then the standard one

Shame ya can't play it offline as I was quite interested in it otherwise from that initial reveal... Oh well

I still don't like the redesigns. I don't like the look of the "mask suits" either. Not really feeling it at all and I don't trust activision in the slightest.

Gameplay itself looks fairly good though at least.

Trying not to get too hyped from that trailer... But it looks absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to that!!!

... That section about poor Laura Bailey

I found Divinity: Original sin II to be utterly engrossing @Shepherd_Tallon

The writing was very good all over the board, the strategic combat was very different for me and a breath of fresh air (And some battles can get quite difficult (I was playing on normal/standard difficulty setting) if you try not to abuse the AI), there's a bunch of different ways on how you can complete quests...

It's a lot of fun... It is also quite long.

I spent 135 or so hours on it... And I was tempted to start again and use the three party members I never took with me to see what happens with them

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee on PS1 for me.

The game unfortunately bugged out on me a little so I have restart halfway through the Paramonia Temple. I'm enjoying it but I'll be really glad to get to Exodus and have the quicksave feature under my belt as it can get a bit frustrating at times too!

To everyone playing The Last Of Us Part 2 I hope you enjoy your time with it and I hope everyone has a great weekend! 😀

Well that's took the wind out of my sails already.

Like the others above I'm really confused on why the characters needed redesigns (Especially Cortex).

Plus the pre-order to get skins? Oh don't go down that slippery slope with DLC activision. You already burnt me out on Nitro fueled with the incessent MTX's and the rotating shop.

Hopefully so @RBMango

On the indies I'm actually interested in Little Devil Inside and Kena are the ones I'm looking out for, they look ace. There honestly wasn't much from the showcase that I wasn't at least a little bit interested in!

Even if I'm not interested in Goodbye Volcano high (The teen dinosaur one) personally I do feel a bit bad it seems to have become a bit of a punching bag of the indies shown in the PS5 showcase.

... What am I even watching?!

Ehhhhh... the monster designs look really naff to me.

The gameplay looks ok I suppose. Does look quite like Code Vein too...

... But when have Atlus ever not been weird is the question?

13 out of 15.

Only messed up on the Kena release date and the game after Ghostwire Tokyo questions!

Not that I agree with the practice of timed exclusivity but Shadow Of The Tomb Raider was/is a well established franchise and the previous entry of it was on PS3/PS4.

Not to mention Lara herself still being fairly asscoiated with the Playstation brand thanks to her beginnings.

All these timed exclusives announced for PS5 are nearly all new IP right? So there isn't any expectations in place compared to Tomb Raider...

... Still not great mind but Sony wants people to buy PS5's at the end of the day and it's the games that'll do it even if most of them come to the Series X 6 months later

Well the past two weeks of the WAYPTW articles I started my first ever journey of The Last Of Us.

I ended up beating it last sunday.

It was pretty good & holds up fairly well indeed with a pretty tight and well written script. I did have a few gripes but they were mostly minor.

I won't be playing TLoU 2 around launch... but hopefully it'll be sooner rather then later as I'm interested in seeing where it's going.

Seeing Oddworld: Soulstorm in the PS5 reveal event really excited me however so this weekend I'm gonna be replaying my digital copy of the PS1 title Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee on PS3 with the intent on following it up with Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (that I never got round to beating)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Not confirmed @Arugula I don't think but from the trailer I think it's safe to assume there's a good 75% chance they're probably gonna carry over the 1st person perspective from the previous entry

I'm not invested in Ethan, the first person perspective or RE:VII as a whole personally...

... But this really looks quite exciting. Definitely an interesting direction 😁

I'm kinda (But at the same time kinda not) surprised at how excited I was upon seeing this. I felt like a teenager all over again.

Genuinely surprised the hell outta me seeing Abe.

Can't bloody wait for this!!! 😀

A lot more interesting to me then Deathloop.

Not groundbreaking but I'm interested in seeing more!

Just give it a smidge more humour like the older games... The remake of the first game was a bit too childish with the writing at times.

Other then that... Yeah I'm interested!

I quite like everything about it. Especially the roguelike element.

Sounds ace!

That does sound rather painful I have to admit...

... It'd be even worse if it had happened to me in my first playthrough of Persona 3 (It being my first Atlus/smt game) seeing as I was a bit of a disaster with it @nessisonett due to me still using a Jack Frost with basic level bufu skills against the october full moon shadow.

I spent over an hour fighting that bloody wheel of fortune ever so slowly chipping away at it

It did also make the strega fights actually difficult though at least...

I'd be up to giving the series a go at some point... So a remaster trilogy on PS4 would certainly make it easier then my very temperamental PS3

I've heard so many people having problems @nessisonett with Mitsuru and Marin Karin but I've played Vanilla P3 and FES with her in the party and never had some disaster wipeout cus of it

Persona 3 is king!!!!

... Persona 4 is pretty good (I'm not terribly fond of golden's plot additions though) but I'm especially fond of the character arcs and plot in the third entry.

I totally get what you mean @Arugula

Whilst for me it's been enjoyable enough so far the Winter chapter from what I've played is a nice little shake up that's quite tense and definitely bumped it up a notch or two for myself as well

Still trekking through The Last Of Us for the first time.

I just got to the Winter chapter. Things have certainly taken a turn haven't they? Though I already know Joel's alive in Part 2 so I know he's just out of comission for a bit & not dead as the cut to the start of winter would've implied otherwise

I got DOOM 64 as well on PS4 and may give that a go as well over the weekend.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Well I'm finally playing The Last of Us for the first time ever.

So far I'm enjoying it and those Clickers are damn unsettling!

Have a good weekend everyone!

I should really get around to playing the first as I have to admit the second looked really good.

... Y'know when it wasn't uncomfortable with the violence 😂

Well I think we deserve a pat on the back then or maybe even a high five @Th3solution for such a decent score with so little knowledge 😂

Oh and nice new Death Stranding avatar too Sol!

10/15

Not gonna lie all of them were complete guesses on my part as I've only played about 4-5 hours of San Andreas 😂

12/15 for me. Not too shabby at all!

Divinity: Original Sin II was amazing! So looking forward to a new Divinity and that Baldur's Gate 3 reveal looked rather good! Can't wait to see more!!

Never played any of them. If it's true I'll be sure to give them a go... eventually 😄

No Mileena still? Goddammit NetherRealm she was my main in X! 😂

Sheeva's new design looks rather weird too...

Legend Of Dragooooooooooooooon!!!!! 😁

I'll be playing more Day's Gone into the final act of the game. A good if somewhat unremarkable Sony exclusive. All the sequel really needs (For me at least) is a stronger narrative to wrap itself around.

I'll also be playing the mesmerising Pac Dot munching mayhem that is Pac-Man Championship 2 every now and again

Stay safe and enjoy the weekend everyone!

Haven't played an Assassin's Creed before. At all.

... Hopefully it'll be a good one to finally jump in on!
