@K1LLEGAL He's a neep. Was slagging off Anime on a post about one of the upcoming gatcha games a wee while back. But yet gushes all over spider-man 2, a game based on a kids comic book.
Congratulations on 500 of these. I've been playing a little bit of Spider-man 2, currently on the hunt for Dr Connnors/The Lizard and got Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, played through the first area, combats clunky but as a fan of Mignola this is ticking all the right boxes and for £15.
My sister picked one up for my nephew. He wanted Spider-man 2 for Xmas, she was slightly miffed when I told her he'd need a new machine to play it on. The cool uncle gets to gift him Spider-man 2 though. So it's all good!
@MikeOrator A survey from last year found that only 6% of adults attend church here in the UK. We love to take the p#*s out of religions, I'm fascinated by theology but you won't catch me in a church except to admire the architecture.
Enjoying it so far. Just finished the bit on Coney Island last night and have been playing for about 6 hours. I will savour the game for a few weeks as I've plenty other stuff to do!
I Finished Judgement earlier in the week which was a fantastic game. RGG are probably my favourite studio can't wait to play all the games that follow.
I've put about 5 hours into Spider-man 2 since Friday and it's fantastic. So much excellent things going on in this game.
My favourite comic character, you can get it for £15 if you have PS+. Slow and clunky is a trait of Hellboy's fighting style so not that big of an issue for me personally.
@KundaliniRising333 I've seen it going for under £40, so that's not bad. I'll probably play it at somepoint as I've been a fan of Sonic since the age of 10.
This review is missing that second opinion that other recent reviews had. Having both critics play the co-op together, would make for an interesting read from both players perspectives!
On PS5 I'm playing Judgement. Just reached chapter 4. Fantastic game! On Switch ì've been clearing up DKC: TF and and continuing with Eastward. Besides that I'll continue watching Gamera Rebirth, which I'm enjoying. Maybe watch Godzilla VS Kong as well. Then also continue reading The Republic!
A packed Sunday after spending yesterday painting the fence and weeding our neighbours garden in the sun.
@TabulaRasa Sounds like gaming isn't for you at the moment. I often just switch to other hobbies when gaming isn't doing it for me.
@nessisonett you need to checkout Blacksad and Grandville. If they don't change your mind then nothing will. Elephantmen and Beastars are also fantastic!
At £28 I think I'll just buy it. looks like a fantastic game and I'm unsure If I will re sub to plus as I only do essential anyway. Plenty games to play but I want to support the devs.
Picked up Tiny Thor and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on switch and have played up to the first boss in the latter. Later I will continue playing Judgment which is excellent. Hopefully squeeze in something to watch and also continue reading Peter May's The Fire Maker which is fantastic so far
@Neptunes That's like saying why would anyone go to the cinema and watch a B&W film nowadays? When there is colour or why watch a hand drawn animated feature when there is CGI everywhere? We shouldn't forget the original techniques even though technology has advanced. They are now another option of art form!
@Tr3mm0r it's OK to be an adult and enjoy animation. Just like it's OK to be an adult and play games. It isn't however very adult to go into a comment section of an article about a game you've no interest in and call it "Anime Crap".
Plenty of more serious stuff and adult content out there in anime, that doesn't include the over exaggerated silliness or as you call it cringe. I like my anime shows to be dark and thought provoking but also enjoy some of the more fun stuff.
@Tr3mm0r I do like pickled cucumber it is quite fine! Just seems you are hating on Anime when you haven't experienced all different genres it has to offer.
@HeavymetalGordon Welcome, hope you enjoy your time here. Rift Apart is great, I need to jump back into Elden Ring myself as I started it but got distracted by other things.
I have been spending time with my family and the In-laws as it's my other half's 40th today. If I do get a bit of time later I might play some Judg(e)ment as I recently started that!
Since finishing FFXVI, I can't seem to get a game to stick. Probably play more of the indie games and shorter experiences I have in my backlog. Other than that I'm currently reading up on Japan's history from 1850 to the present day. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend everyone!
@Darude84 You should check if any of the other control layouts work better for you.
I'm saving the final mission for the weekend. Got 43 of 50 trophies so far, 85 hours played. Love the game and looking forward to playing it again in Final Fantasy mode.
@KaijuKaiser @Rob_230 I was Just about to post something similar, still need to get Resident Evil 4 as I've enjoyed the last 3 games. Slowly catching up with a lot of classic series, I'm enjoying a lot of the remakes and remasters as I missed out on loads of Playstation games being primarily an Xbox and Nintendo owner back in the day. Next up Metal Gear Solid and will slowly get through all the FF games, XVI is great regardless of what some of the more hardcore (grumpy old gamers) think.
5 million is a great number though and I'll add to it soon!
@Rhaoulos I haven't seen much in the way of articles about FFXVI. Then again when things come around that I'm interested in I tend not to look at every bit of info, enhances the experience if you don't go online. Death Stranding was a phenomenal experience for me, I don't speak for everyone but I enjoyed it a lot. Same with FFXVI, close to 80 hours played and still plenty to do. Story is excellent and gameplay loop is lots of fun, chaining combos together with different Eikon abilities is a blast, discovering new things all the time.
Well it's been a fun weekend of FFXVI. Only one more main Mission to go, will save the finale for next weekend. Currently have 39 out of 50 trophies, definitely going for the platinum, but not right away. Will play something else first and that way I can experience the story all over again!
@Triumph741 Only game I'm interested in on Game Pass is Hi-Fi Rush, the Addition of COD is hardly an enticing reason to sub to it. Maybe once they pull their finger out and have bangers releasing all the time, I'll get on board. Until then my PS5 and Switch have my gaming needs covered!
More FFXVI as it's a great game, almost finished it at 92%, but trophy hunting before I head towards the endgame. I can tell this game will be superb in new game +.
@Sekijo It's a fun game for trophies. I still have ages to go before the platinum. Currently looking into crafting a Certain weapon and still 2 story based trophies to pop.
@WallyWest I have to disagree about the combat being shallow. I've yet to fully max them all out, but experimenting with all eikon abilities and mixing them up is fun.
I can't wait for this one. Huge Mignola fan here. Looking forward to diving back into comics in general, as I've been collecting rather than reading them.
Only played Forbidden west and FFXVI but both are fantastic in my opinion. On the final stretch of FFXVI now, going to do side content before heading to the big finish.
Sounds good to me. Up until recently the only turn based games I've played before the PS4/PS5 era have been Pokemon Blue, one of the Mario RPG's and Blue Dragon. Having now played a handful of FF games, Dragon Quest XI and Trails of Cold 1 & 2. I enjoy these games a lot. Also loving FFXVI at the moment, being new to the series maybe helps but I like that Square changes it up with different entries.
Edit: Also looking forward to getting into Like a Dragon. Played Yakuza 0-6 and again I'm fairly new to this series and not a disgruntled fan who moans about change.
Naniga okiteiruno? I love the Japanese voice over and I'm seven games in so won't change now. Great for those who struggle to read/ keep up with subtitles.

Re: Mini Review: Hellboy Web of Wyrd (PS5) - Visually Striking, But Fails to Inspire as a Brawler

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 498

Re: Goodbye Volcano High (PS5) - Wonderfully Written, But Stumbles on the Rhythm
