Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?

sciteach

So fun! I love all the fun mechanics and hidden gems. I wish the boss was a little tougher, though!
And I'm a sucker for the Astro Bot Rescue Mission in VR... I keep thinking that they can release a VR level or a few in VR for this game... some of the mechanics feel very similar to the Rescue Mission...

Re: GTA Publisher Claims It 'Didn't Shutter' Roll7, Intercept Games

sciteach

This is indeed BS. I contacted Thomas Hegarty, president of Roll7 and said I was sorry his studio got shut down. (I used to write for a PS Vita website and he was a contact WAY back then when OlliOlli was first released for the Vita!) He was really nice about it, but it was clear they were getting shut down.

@Daleaf hah yeah, I remember that's why I bought Little Big Planet, too. I was going to create the best games! Same with Dreams.
Reality: How do you rotate the item to make a stupid shape? Throws controller. Goes into the community to see what they've made.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ghost of Tsushima?

9. I've only spent 15 or so hours, but I love it. I went a path that I wasn't quite ready for (I'm playing on hard... it's tough), and now I'm backtracking to get bow and armor and to build up more skills. I feel rewarded for exploring every inch of the island, if not for material things, but for the beauty of the island and the care/love in which the team did in making the game.

Re: The Hardest PS4 Platinum Trophies

sciteach

Dead Space 2, I think that was the one. I can't remember, but you couldn't die or use something or whatever, I just gave up trying for that trophy.
edit: I just looked it up:
"Hardcore" is basically Normal difficulty, with a twist - you can only save 3 times, no more than that.

on the guide it says: This setting is not for those with faint of heart and lacking dedication. Enemies are moderately tough and ammo is a somewhat limited resource. In addition you will need to be able to play for long hours as the game has 15 Chapters. You-will-be-dying-and-restarting, alot. Your first ideal save point should be somewhere in Chapter 6 or 7. Your second save point should be somewhere in Chapter 9 or 11. And your last save point at the end of Chapter 13 or end of Chapter 14 if you can make it that far."

I remember trying to get through it, but died early on and didn't want to have to restart it.

Re: Can You Name These PS1 Games?

8. Tough! But man, when Silent Bomber showed up I didn't even have to look at the options. That hit me.
I never finished that game... I got stuck at the stupid chess game.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Ghost of Tsushima?

sciteach

This was fantastic. I really felt like it was a Jedi kind of adventure, set in feudal Japan. Deflecting arrows. One hit kills. I really liked the vibe. Now, knowing SuckerPunch, I'll have to play the game twice... once on the honorable side, the other as the Ghost.

Re: Guide: Best Metal Gear Solid Games Ranked

sciteach

I'm torn between 1 and 2 on your list. My daughter as a young young child would watch the intro to Snake Eater over and over. I especially liked how you could change stuff on that opening song, too. But yes, MGS redefined gaming for me. It came out when Tenchu did, so those two stealth games were my jam.

Re: Hands On: WipEout PSVR Will Absolutely Melt Your Mind

sciteach

This is the truth. I can't believe how fun it is. And not sickness inducing. Don't know how they did that. Usually racing games on VR make me vomit in a second. I picked this game up months ago on sale hoping the VR update would be this awesome. Not disappointed. Might actually pull me away from Monster Hunter...
