I can't even say I was drunk when I created it. I was just fucking stupid. Lol!
-
This was one announced at the PlayStation Showcase. Hot damn, am I looking forward to this one. Looks like something any souls-like fan would dig. Hopefully, we'll get some more info about it in the coming months.

I picked this one up only due to someone in a review saying, "If you liked Mega Man X, you'll like this." And yea, I do. It's a beautiful game graphically and the gameplay is pretty tight too. It's a side-scrolling hack-and-slash action-adventure along the lines of the Mega Man X series or any Metroidvania for that matter. I never touched League of Legends, so a lot of the character references I don't get, but this one has been fun. There are some annoying little things like the time delay clone that follows you sometimes messes me up when platforming, but at least you can rewind time when you make a mistake here and there. Not a bad one and kind of on the cheap side. Worth checking out IMO. It's on PS5/Xbox/Steam and Switch.

For the whole game, my favorite has to be Castlevania: Symphony of The Night. The score in that one was just perfect for the game and really complimented the perfection that is SoTN. A close second would be The Messenger. Its catchy, mesh of 8-bit and 16-bit music really sticks in your head after a while, much like the classic NES games of old did. Honorable mention goes to the Octopath Traveler series too. Only because I'm currently playing the second one LOL!

I'm interested, but I agree with you @Luseth It's one of those games that has a big "WAIT AND SEE" sign right outside the construction zone. Looking pretty can only get a game so far if the gameplay sucks ass or doesn't hold your interest.

Episodes 46 and 47 are LIVE!! Another 2 eps again. I've really been slacking, but I've had some injuries that kept me out of one episode here but I returned for the big PlayStation talk this past week.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake - Now Confirmed!
Riff Machine replied to IRaMPaGe's topic in General Gaming Discussion
I was holding out hope for the MGS1 remake, but I get why it's this one. I'll play the hell out of it still. -
Another double-shot update. Episodes 44 and 45. Controllers from all generations, and does Nintendo get a free pass with review scores?
-
Thank fuck it's on game pass. 🤪🤘🏻😂
-
Episode 43 is LIVE!!! We discuss the Microsoft/Activision sale block by the CMA in the UK, the new ASUS steam deck competitor, as well as some conversations about some classic systems and games.
-
This one releases next week on all platforms and man, does this look friggin good. It's a metroidvania with a beautiful hand-drawn art style and it really looks like it flows fairly well. I can't wait to check this one out.

Episode 42 is LIVE!!! This week, I'm out as I blew my back out at work, but we're super happy to have the folks from Odyssey Dice come in and chat about their successful dice Kickstarter and how they came into being. A nice chat with a Canadian dice maker! Yay!!

This one was released a little while ago, and I've started playing it on my Steam Deck. New characters, a new story, and new land, but the same wonderful gameplay of the first with some new additions that add some nice tweaks to the formula. I'm enjoying it so far. Started with the samurai Hikari. He's the "warrior" class for this one. If you liked the first one, there's more to like here.

Alright. I finally finished this one this past week. Mostly due to having far too many other things on the go to devote the time needed for it, but damn. I wish I finished this one sooner. What an amazing game! It reminded me a lot of Chrono Trigger at first, but the fact you don't gain levels, rather you upgrade your skills, both passive/active, and battle, which increases your power every so often. It has a ton of accessibility options to scale the game to your liking as this one is tough. Make no mistake about it. Finding the right mix of skills to use in big-boss battle situations will be trial and error. I won't spoil anything but this one has one of the best stories in a jrpg I've ever played. The twists and turns along the way were actually surprising. Thankfully, the cast of characters each has their own distinct personality and you'll find certain members butting heads with others at various points. I could go on for days, but if you're a fan of JRPGs, you really owe it to yourself to try this. It's a nice retro gem for the modern era.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC
Riff Machine replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in RPG / Action / Adventure
I picked it up, (Released on my Birthday! YAY!) and @Rumelyladystarted playing it the other day. It's funny when you haven't played something in a while and forget how to do certain things. I had a good laugh at her expense. Lol! -
I'll stand by my previous "Not interested" statement. I want my new Splinter Cell dag nab it!!!!!!! 🤪
-
I'm going to wait for this to go on sale before I grab it. I still feel 4 didn't need the remake treatment, considering they already released an upscale version of the classic version on last-gen consoles. I honestly wished they gave RE:CV the remake over 4. I'm glad you managed to snag it for cheap @J4MES OX4D
-
Episode 41 is LIVE!!!! We discuss the upcoming changes to the Xbox series X/S UI, our thoughts on the current crop of open-world games, and Sony's new handheld in development.
-
Episode 40 is LIVE!!!! We talk about the new Tetris movie currently streaming on Apple TV+, as well as Asus handheld competitor to the Steam Deck, Diablo 4 endgame conversation among other things.
-
Episode 39 is LIVE!!! We discuss the demise of E3, as well as the recent demo of DnD's new VTT among other things.
-
I called that back in episode 31 of my podcast. Not surprising at all. At least we have the memories.
-
I've been slacking. Both Episodes 37 and 38 are now LIVE! We discussed the diablo 4 closed and open betas from the past two weeks and the Unreal 5.2 tech demos shown this past week.

It honestly felt, gameplay wise, to be very similar to 3. I like the more “realistic” approach they’ve taken with the visuals as oppose to the more WoW-like look of 3. My biggest complaint? Why did they change the inventory?? 3 had the perfect breakdown of everything being sectioned off into its own area. Now, it’s all lumped together again and you run out of space halfway through a dungeon. It got to a point where I would only pick up yellow or orange gear and leave everything else. I’m also not a fan of the “always online” shit. Why must everything be online? It really does suck especially with something that a lot of people will play by themselves for the most part. Day one is gonna be a Bitch. I also wish there was more classes to choose from. But, I guess they need DLC down the road. I did pre-order it though. I enjoy the games, and hopefully the few annoyances I have won’t deter that enjoyment.

I wonder what Bungie will do with Zavala? If they kill him off, Saint-14 could potentially take over the Titan Vanguard, but I really hope they don't re-cast him. Lance had that voice that just doesn't seem to be one to mimic IMO. He really fleshed out and made Zavala the character he is today.

I enjoyed RE5. Never got into the co-op side of it, but it was fun. It felt like more of the same coming off of RE4, but just felt a bit off. I think once I finished up and received some infinite weapons, I managed to rip through the game in less than an hour. Lol
