phil bottle got a reaction from GazzaGarratt in Dead Space Remake
It does look decent from what I've seen, but yeah doubtful I'll pick it up, maybe it'll appear in Gamepass at some point, or a 2025 bumble bundle 🙂

They say good intentions pave the road to hell, I'd say assumptions are right up there with that 😁

Like I said previously, the demo didn't feel that great IMO. I'll wait until this either goes on a big sale, becomes a PS Plus game, is gifted to me in some form or obtained in a police auction of some minor criminals estate.
I'm glad you're enjoying it though @Luseth Keep the updates coming. 🤘🏻

phil bottle reacted to Riff Machine in Hi-Fi Rush
So this one was announced and released during the xbox developers event yesterday. Made by the studio responsible for The Evil Within series, It's also a Day one Game Pass release too, so I downloaded it and gave it a go this evening. It's a very bright and colorful graphical style, but the gameplay is a mash-up between a DMC type action, and a rhythm based game. The whole world runs to a beat of a tune, and all attacks, dodges, jumps, and movement is in synch with the beat. Timing button presses to the beat gives a damage output bonus too, and even the enemies attacks adhere to the same rules, so predicting attacks can be fairly easy to judge.
It's been a fun little game so far. Check it out if you've got game pass.

I tried to watch Worthabuy's video on this game but wasn't a good use of my time as he clearly went into looking to hate on it. Not very balanced and not very helpful. But he is bit of a miserable old cunt sometimes 🙈
I don't care about the context, or the character's dialogue, I'm getting old and I understand these games aren't made for my demographic.
However, from what I've seen it looks a bit janky gameplay-wise so I'll be interested in the thoughts of @Luseth and @Riff Machine if they both play it.

Some very strong reviews going up which is great news! Currently 89% on Meta and still many to go. Probably won’t get it at full price but certainly down the line. Looks like they did a very good job on this almost to the standard of how Capcom have rebooted the classic RE titles.

Never thought i'd see the day of being able to play CM3 on a PC these days....but I now can and its glorious! 😎 This was one part of my childhood that I really do miss and the earlier Football Manager games really hit the spot, after the MS-DOS days but before later managing games added far too much detail and dials to tinker with. CM3 was the 98/99 season with 15 leagues you could actually load up at the start and move to other countries if you felt like a job overseas mid-game. Also was the days of the Foreign player restriction rule which meant you could only have 3 players classed as foreign to that league in the team at any one time.
I know a few people love these types of games and its probably within reach for some if you have the following elements:
A CD version of Championship Manager 3 A CD disc reader (ofc!) A patch (v3.04e) to be downloaded from here Windows 10
I found some great advice from another website that told me to download the patch otherwise you get a compatibility error when it tries to run. Once the patch is downloaded, unzip the file and run the Setup.exe file in there. It will do what it needs to do and remove some quick files which leaves you to finally just right click the shortcut on CM3 and enter the Properties.
Once in there, select the Compatibility below for this game and click Apply.
Then run the game to sit back and listen to that crowd noise at the start and cheer along with them! A few pics below of the game and installing! Can't beat some nostalgia...and Marcelo Salas on the Home Screen 😄

phil bottle reacted to TurboR56Mini in Dabbling with Writing
I've always thought about writing over the years, imagined that I would be interesting enough, or have some creative ideas. I'm not sure that I've reached that level of interesting yet but I've come close enough. Now I'm not on the writing level of Paul Bowles, Allen Ginsberg, Ernest Hemingway, or Jim Harrison but I feel like my first official foray into writing wasn't terrible...maybe I simply need more drugs and alcohol like the aforementioned folks. Either way, hopefully you enjoy, all the words and pictures are my own.

phil bottle got a reaction from Riff Machine in Goldeneye XBL/Switch
Nice one! Good to know it's playable.
It wasn't appearing anywhere on Xbox yesterday but I'll check in a bit to see if it's available for download.

Even the lead moderator and most senior point of contact for the community on Steam, Discord and with the media doesn't even know if the game exists. Comical
Good video as always from Bigfry covering this debacle

I remember that Kung Fu kick it was iconic.
Yeah Arsenal are doing particularly well so far. It's their league to lose atm.

Control 007 Agent - Fuck that! Jungle wasn't easy either. When I played the leaked unreleased XBLA build with an Xbox controller, it felt good and authentic to what it was like with a 64 pad back in the day. I've played Perfect Dark with a mouse and keyboard and it just makes things a bit too easy so I'd definitely retain playing Goldeneye with a pad.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the less I want to to play this on a new console. But if its on Gamepass I probably won't resist. Particularly if there's a keyboard and mouse option.
I don't know if people actually know (or remember) how hard this game actually was in certain parts so I'll be interested to see how it plays on an Xbox controller.
