TheMightyEthan Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 The PS5 version was on sale for $12, and even though I already have the PS4 version from PS+ it's only 30 fps and I've completely spoiled myself with 60 now...

TheMightyEthan Posted September 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm surprised that's a separate game you need to buy and not just a mod for the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to finish reedfall - I think I'm nearing the end so it's just that final push. Took me a bit to get the hang of at the start (and I picked a mage type which I think it's maybe weaker than it wants to be). But the story is pretty neat. Do enjoy! For me: Pathfinder Kingmaker for PS4 It was £6 - I figured for that I could give it a shake. Plays very old school. Some of it's a bit clunky on a console - and the "card" menu/character management is a bit fiddly. But I imagine it'll make more sense as you get a bit deeper and especially with more characters to manage. Also, though I've yet to get it: Got in a bundle with Spider-Man and Ratchet n Clank. Only took however many hours staring at menu walking across screens in digital waiting rooms (one of the stupidest product launches I've ever seen) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 The game so nice I bought it thrice. Gotta have it on Steam too now that I have a PC that can run it. It was on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Got a deal on this one on GameBillet. It's only 26 dollars there, which is way more reasonable than the 49.99 they're trying to charge for a game this old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I imported my save this morning trying to pop the plat before work, but it turns out there are three trophies that don't auto-pop... But it's okay, cause I get more Death Stranding! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 I'm planning on playing Bloodstained as one of my Spooktober games so I figured I might as well get these two as well. It probably doesn't really matter but IIRC the first Curse of the Moon came out before the main Bloodstained game so I'd like to play it first. I think I'll probably stick to horror-themed games this year since there aren't really any proper horror games on my radar at the moment. For now I'm thinking the Bloodstained games, Blasphemous and the Castlevania Anniversary Collection (and maybe the Advance Collection they just dropped if I have time). Been a while since I played any metroidvanias so this should be fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely plays better on the PC (nothing major, but the mouse definitely helps with some of the navigation - but I think we knew that anyway), but if that isn't an option then this version seems decent enough.

Mister Jack Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 As far as single player content goes it's pretty bare bones. There's an arcade mode and you can set up matches locally or with bots in the battle mode. There is also something called Sports Mode where instead of trying to KO each other two teams fight to knock a soccer ball into each other's goals. The online portion is pretty damn solid though. There's ranked, quick play, and a lobby system in place, both public and private. I only played a handful of matches but in 1 on 1 matches the connection feels like a local match after setting my server region. I only got to try a couple of four player matches online because people mostly set up two player matches online, but they worked well enough and were perfectly responsive, if just a tiny bit jittery. That one is surely going to depend on everyone having a reasonably decent connection, but at no point in either match did I feel like I had gotten screwed by lag. The game is much faster than Smash Ultimate. In fact, it's even faster than melee. There's a light attack button, heavy attack button, throws, and three specials per character. Blocking is infinite and doesn't have a breakable shield, but getting hit while blocking pushes you back toward the edge of the platform. There is no air dodge, but you can air dash in any direction to escape from aerial attacks. Ledge grabbing, rolling, and ledge attacking is all here. No final smash type moves or items, at least not right now, but that might be in a future update. Right now it might feel a little light on content because of the lack of voice acting and the more humble roster of 20 compared to the gigantic roster in Smash Ultimate, but the devs seem pretty determined to keep supporting and improving this game in the long term. They've already confirmed two free DLC characters are forthcoming, followed by a currently undetermined number of paid characters. Extra stages were also found in a datamine after release. You could potentially wait a while to buy it and the game would feel much different in a year or so, but they're also selling it for 20% off at launch on steam so I don't really know what would be the better deal.

TheMightyEthan Posted October 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Honestly, the roster is small but it hits the highlights. The only ones that seem conspicuously absent are the other two Turtles (Leo and Mikey is a weird choice), and the rest of Team Avatar (or at least Katara and Zuko... sorry Sokka...) *Edit - Oh, and the Angry Beavers.
