@Floki I noticed that when I was looking for the Carbuncle plush that gives you a free pet. One of the expensive ones was literally a whale so I screen shotted it and sent it to my mate with just the "whale" part visible lol

@lolwhatno OH DAMN. I had no idea that was what the story was, with the parts about the adventurers with powers that no one could remember the faces of and such. It sort of makes sense now.

@nessisonett Just read about that. The console version lasted 4 months before they killed it lol Lucky it was free to play, I suppose but a kicker for whoever put money in.

Decided to have a crack at the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy so did Definitive Edition 100% this week. Just finished up. Also been playing Knockout City a bit. The mechanics allow for some rather complex strategies if you are meticulous and I managed MVP 4 or 5 times in my 14 or so matches. Will probably continue FF 14 tomorrow or maybe will give the final level of Contagion VR (managed the platinum without even trying the last level lol) a go.

@get2sammyb Thanks for the wholesome article. I am thankful that more studios than ever are starting up and we're still getting some interesting indies which sometimes succeed enough to warrant a sequel or more games in that style. I also remember to occasionally do this in the mirror with my life in general. Helped me tackle my depression and turn my life around. Easier to make a difference when you feel good in yourself and remember that the walls can still be painted Happy gaming people ^_^

Sorry to be that gut, but... When ARE The Game Awards (2021)?

@Sorteddan This. I always used to scroll down my list seeing incomplete bars as if I hadn't 100% the games. If I hadn't done that, fine, I didn't like the game enough anyway, but if I had (which I do with many, many games I play) I get a bit annoyed that there are a bunch of things I have to replay the game for, or go to the online mode and hope there will be someone to play against (or ask the reddit sub of respective game) or even repeat the game on the newly unlocked Nightmare difficulty. It's just annoying, 100% trophy list should be 100% the game and maybe a couple bits you can easily clear after. I don't even care about the platinum, but rather the percentage bars being all over the place haha

The first few paragraphs of this article (minus Super Stardust and working at Pushsquare... We can always change both of those, wink wink ) all sounded very familiar... But 149 is a massive amount of Platinum trophies. Haha I have 24 and I know it is because I never replayed the games in Hard mode, minus Darksiders 1 and Brütal Legend. Also, I will partially blame my absence of about 3 years from Playstation when I sold all my stuff in like 2016. You also nailed what I was thinking last night, though. If I can't get the plat, what's the point? I'll usually 100% the game and then look at Trophies again and see if there's anything I can do to finish up, but beyond that I'm not too interested. There are so many online MP only trophies, too and I'm still playing catch up on some series, so I can never find a game. I think it's about time I started ignoring it for good, too.

Doesn't sound like my cuppa, but Willem Dafoe reminds me that we will finally see Tobs Maguire back on the big screen next month!

I used to love Tekken.. 2, when I was 6 or 7. I even got Tekken 3 and played the brawler part "Chicken!!!". However, since then I have much preferred UMC 3 and Injustice, still play them bow and then. Not really interested in any others, though. Even sequels just sound more of the same, bit like a football game lol

That's not a bad month. My little one will probably start playing DC Villains and the Marvels Avengers one I bought for him soon. He's just a little rubbish at the moment because he's 3 haha As for Godfall, eh, not bad, will try it and Mortal Shell is too souls like but again, will try it some day. Over all not bad and will add them all, which I rarely do.

I have 41 plus games in my library (I also DID have Battlefield 5 but it went missing) and I'll play through them all except NBA 2k20, which I got local multiplayer only. That's not at all bad considering I signed up June 2020. Not really too worried about it, but something that has a big festive event somewhere in the game would be cool. I am, deep down, like us all, a child! And it is fun Pretty busy this weekend so if I don't visit the site, happy gaming everyone!

Another one? Hmm, Team 17 jumping on the souls style craze now.

@Marquez ThyMeSia - Me, me and both of us. Our split personality. You are welcome.

@BlaizeV Indeed, Pac-Man World on ps1 was fantastic. Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness wasn't bad, either. I never got round to the ps2 titles so would definitely get that.

Yeah, meh. I liked the multiplayed they had in the Ghostly Adventures but never cared for the OG pac games. Think I reached level 5 once on my super duper old Mobile phone back when I was a kid because that was the best kind of game you could get on it, accept Ghosts n Goblins.

@shonenjump86 Isn't that just Pac-Man with a bow and maybe the holes walls you can go through?

Lol the shaggy reveal they saved for the end was great. I suppose there will be little to none single player content as it's free 2 play, but will probably try it none the less.

Hmmm. Will take a look at the soundtrack and decide whether I'll be getting it on release or on Steam much further down the line.

That's a good deal. If I had a ps5 I'd be on that for sure. They absolutely love slashing prices at the moment. I've went in and left with a couple of massive pizzas, a few sides, a desert, a bottle of tasty lemon flavoured gin and some health conscious smoothies for the day after for like 37 quid recently. Who wants to go to a pub when you can do that? Lol

@velio84 This is his special version of clever PR speak, except no one thinks that but himself. Haha

Will wait and see how the patches fare. I'm sure it's not as bad as it's made out to be, but the way the rain is would make me have to play as a prom queen candidate who has just had her hair done before her big night... But no one had an umbrella.

@Quintumply Yeah, that's about the standard for this game. It was actually announced in 2009, not 2017, though. Though, I don't think development started until years later.

I'm not really sure why this is a thing. Homebrew for sure is awesome, but of course the Vita can handle the non-remastered Vice City. In fact, it could probably handle a specialised port of the remasters. It's not as good as the Switch, though. However, I don't mod any console that is still supported.

I read they were making a follow on from Dig 2 a few weeks back after buying Dig on the 3rd platform when it was on sale on ps store. Sounds interesting, but I didn't like Gilgamesh enough to purchase it and never saw Heist through to the end, but bought it again on sale so will try again at some point. Hopefully it will be good and not have some non-real time strategy mechanic...

Was going to add some classic 80s hair metal they missed in my steam version anyway, such as Round and Round by RATT and blues rock stuff like Scuttle Buttin' by Stevie Ray Vaughan anyway!

Tommy Vercetti wasn't taught as a child because his parents never thought he'd have any maritime adventures, but that he would take over the exotic clothes peddling business they had scraped tooth and nail to set up. As a child Tommy was sometimes the subject of ridicule to the other children for his inability to do something that the other children considered basic and once found himself falling into the waterways of Liberty City after the school bullies knocked him down and threw him in... Such a traumatising experience lead Tommy to a fear of bodies of water bigger than himself, but he recalled the words of mama "If you let the fear control you, you will never experience the life to the fullest." along with his father's proverb "Who is in fear of every leaf must avoid the woods" whenever he was near water. He would never try to swim but he would walk alongside the ocean as if walking through a building that's walls were ablaze. Don't throw Tommy into the water guys, you're no better than the bullies if you do.

@ScarletSpidey Still, another way to profit from war. Another great way is to sell arms to both sides. Certain super influential families made bank doing that one and always have a lovely get out of jail card, doubt it's free, though... But what's a cool 10 mil to a triple billionaire?

@Fyz306903 That would be interesting. Be cool if there was some sort of space battles as well. Maybe even... Strategy commanding of a fleet.

Lol I chose Anderson after letting the council burn. Only loyalist scum would choose to let the gen pop die!

Well, that's always nice to know, but not too surprising after Legendary did well. Wonder if it will be a reboot or some sort of continuation.

Will get these on Steam probably and see if any mods pop up. Perhaps the current mods won't need too much tweaking to get them working with these versions

@SoulChimera I love Saints Row 2 and 3 soundtracks but I wouldn't have completed them without the gameplay being fun.

@Nekomichu @Tharsman Any chance either of you 2 are still around the first area or can party me and my friend up from a distance? We were planning on subbing after doing the starting story and first dlc but wanna do all of the first part to maximise the freeness haha

Been playing FFXIV free trial now I have finished 7 remake. Was going to play with my mate but bizarrely they won't let us party up, way to ruin the experience! Apparently you can get a non trial player to party you when you're f2p so will try that after we hit level 30 or so and do some dungeons or whatever together. For now, solo running.

Never played Chinatown Wars or Vice City Stories (despite own the latter) but one day I'll take the time to finish this series just like I am Final Fantasy. San Andreas was the first open world game I ever 100%, though so absolutely number 1 for me. GTA 4 crashed on my 360 back in the day, destroying 3 hours of progress since my last save, stopped playing after that. It was good until then, though. Need a remaster for ps4/5 that works properly.

I'm going to a gig the day before release and will probably be too hungover haha Maybe the week after!

"Chthulu meets Saints Row" Oooh! "And featured Superheroes in online gameplay." Nahhh...

Lol this a Kemco game so I'd be careful not to get your hopes up. However they may have learned how to copy other games better than before and mght make a decent Golf Story clone. I 100% Golf Story and would advise anyone who has a Switch and likes RPGs and Mario/Everybody's Golf to give it a go.

@lolwhatno See; Golf Story (Nintendo Switch).

Wasn't massively digging the art style but it sounds decent enough. The changing levels and extra challenges always interest me in these kind of games.

Finally got Dreams due to the Halloween event. It was good fun, but the low frame rate in places made me feel a bit motion sick in VR. Will give this a shot soon. Also, just finished all instruments for my EP so when that's released will turn my hand to making a game in Dreams.

Just completed the ps4 version. It can't quite hold a candle to MediEvil, so for me, it's more of a Jack-no-lantern. The movement doesn't feel good and the enemies don't change up enough. The combat is easy to master and the bosses are just pretty standard old school bosses. The retro feel is all it can sell itself on. I've had worse times but the levels are more forgettable compared to something like MediEvil. The hidden collectables aren't really hidden well at all, managed to get them all first time round and so ended with the platinum (Great if you're a trophy hunter). The music and character speech art are probably the best things about the game. A 6 would be the absolute best for me.

@FullMetalWesker I bought the game for £18 physical in CEX here, worth it tbh. The only thing is it makes you replay every level a second time (and sometimes figure out little riddles) when you get to the 2nd last level, so be prepared for that.

@vapidwolf Yes, Liam can download it by adding it to his library and clicking download. Both questions are now answered

The "Much more" part had me a tiny bit curious, at least. They should have just lead with that... "you will get lots of good stuff! We promise!"

@rjejr You got my question covered. Haha

GTA 5 and San Andreas are 10s for me. I started out in the OG way back when I was like 7. In that game was the first time I heard "D***wad" and that was a great thing to copy and tell to my friends. I also remember killing random people for no reason, I remember feeling a little bad for those pixels for a bit. Lol

Already have half of them, but Walking Dead, First Class Trouble and Knockout City will get added. Mostly looking forward to Saints and Sinners, I'm glad people get to try the ines I do have, too, as They are great games!

Gonna try and finish FF7 Remake but chapter 17 really slowed the pace down to a near halt so haven't played it for a couple days. Probably try and get on the Dreams VR as I only managed to get through 1 of the Ghost Trains. Also will log in to Genshin Impact briefly. Oh and happy gaming! Have fun and be happy
