Game of Thrones (Current episode spoilers)
danielpholt replied to Can's topic in Entertainment Exchange
It struck me like the finale's of old; lots of plotting and setting up what's to come. And as someone who's a fan of watching people talk, I was okay with that. I'm pleased that the big plan to get Cersei on side failed; it was way too stupid to work and I'm glad we finally found that out. The Jaime threat was an odd one. I understand they need to get him on team #notcersei but it felt rushed and ill planned. And the Jon thing was...well I'm not sure who didn't work that one out a year ago. -
Given that it's a mainline Mario title, is it not safe to assume that come October, the two exclusives will be available and thus, does it not make sense to go out and buy one yesterday?

Has Been Heroes is the latest game from the Trine people I believe. Unfortunately I absolutely hate that style of game, so there's no chance I'd be even try it.

So I've noticed that the screen on my Switch is ever so slightly coming up and out of the unit itself. It's only minor at the moment but if it gets any worse I'll likely send the entire thing off for a repair. Annoying for sure.

I grabbed one of these for my birthday in March 2016. I finally had to change the batteries two weeks ago. I love the thing. You've made a great purchase. Have a cookie.

I've heard Overcooked is fantastic if you're looking for co-op multiplayer fun. Me and my partner recently played through Until Dawn as well, although not sure if that'd still be available via PS+?

I just finished the latest game by the Thomas Was Alone and Volume devs: Subsurface Circular. It's a text-adventurish looking thing where you play as a 'tek' detective who's trying his damnedest to crack a case about a series of missing 'teks'. It's a fairly simple game where you ask questions to various people on the city's subway network. Eventually you'll discover important details that are relevant to the case and then you'll be asked to interview some more 'teks', rinse and repeat until the games conclusion. And what a conclusion that is. It's cheap, it's short and it's got a really interesting take on the story it's trying to tell. I say take a look.

I still think its fair to pick apart the decisions made by these characters, the writers and the show runners. Last episode was fun, but christ on a bike was it stupid. Stupid and fun is fine I guess, I just thought this show was above all that. -
Hopefully this becomes the game I wanted Planet Coaster to be.

That's Daniuel thank you very much.

We've all got them. Who are yours? I'll get us started with a few off the top of my head. Ninja Theory It dawned on me whilst telling anyone who'd listen that Hellblade is fantastic, that I also felt the same way about NJ's other titles. DMC was one of my favourite games of the year it was released, and Enslaved was one of the rare games that I played through in the space of 2-3 sittings. I love their sense of style, I love their ability to mix it up a little and most of all I love how willing they are to do something a little different. Bioware Funny thing about Bioware games. I've never had any interest in Dragon Age, and the latest Mass Effect game appears to be one to miss. However, the original three Mass Effect titles are likely some of my favourite games of all time. Knights of the Old Republic was one of the first 'long' games I ever completed and whilst they're not incapable of screwing it up, I'm always excited to see what they've got coming next. CDPR Along similar lines to Bioware here. I adore The Witcher franchise. And cannot wait to see more of what they've got coming up. Hell, I'm even tempted to jump into this card game they've made. I fucking hate cards.

Did anyone catch the tidbit of absolutely massive information that Sam cut Gilly off from delivering in Oldtown? Another exciting episode, rocket packs and all. -
Yup. I actually ended up knocking the difficulty down to easy at that point, largely due to the fact that I didn't want to see my save deleted this close to the finale.

Finished Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice on Friday. So, I'm not really equipped to talk much about it's take on mental illness, but I can say that I don't think I've ever played anything that handled the subject matter as well as it does. You'll want to play it with headphones for certain, as much of the games overall feel comes from 'the voices in Senua's head'. The combat is fine, if a little boring at times (especially as you get towards the end), and some might find the games pacing a little..slow, but that didn't bother me much. I mean, it's closer to walking simulator that character action game, surprisingly. I think if the game works for you, you'll really enjoy it, regardless of its shortcomings. It worked for me, and I think it might end up being one of my favourite games of the year. Can't ask for much more than that from £24.99.

I think this game may end up placing on my end of year top 5. Technical issues aside, the actual game is absolutely fantastic. It's unlike anything else I've played this year and some of the things it does with audio design seem almost unique to games as a whole. I must be getting close to the end now, and you know what? I'm kinda bummed. Or as bummed as one could be about seeing the back of a game about mental health issues, an abusive parent and a fuck load of death. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'm not really sure if the system is in the game at all at this point. That being said, I'm not going to take it for granted as I move forward through the game. The game itself isn't all that difficult, but the threat of having my save deleted if I fuck up too many times certainly brings something new to the table. The combat feels so much more desperate when you know you've got your back against the wall and are beginning to lose a fight. I hate the idea of losing my save, but at the same time, the threat of it makes the game feel so much more interesting.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/hellblade-senuas-sacrifice/hellblade-permadeath-bluff This stuff has been wild. Apparently the whole perma-death thing? It's not real? We've got no confirmation either way at this point. None of the reviews that mentioned the system thought it'd be a good idea to you know...see if it was actually in the game or not. As of right now I think we're assuming the perma-death messaging is in the game to place a little more emphasis on the games themes without actually doing any long term damage to the player.

Game of Thrones (Current episode spoilers)
danielpholt replied to Can's topic in Entertainment Exchange
First off, I loved the episode. I've accepted the shows shortcomings (namely the travel aspects and the fact that with only a few episodes left, character development and the exploration of the narrative has likely got to go out of the window), but I think I prefer old thrones to new thrones. Not that new thrones isn't the best 60 minutes of pure excitement on tv each week. As for Dany, She's giving off some rather worrying vibes. The way she talks about her right to the throne and how she talks to Jon particularly. She's been like this for a while now, and as the situation gets more and more desperate I wouldn't be surprised to see her go down the 'burn them all' route. Esp with Jon also being born of Targaryen decent. Maybe they're setting the two up as opposites.
