Be Excellent To Each Other

I did it. And I looked a right twat on the train doing it.

How much more so than usual, would you estimate?

I haven't linked a Nintendo ID so I haven't tried, but this is good to know. I am imagining there are some fun creations out there.

It was a solid 25% increase

Just started Spider-Man. It is a glorious game. Loving running on the side of buildings. Fwip fwip

Deathloop. I bought it without realising it was a "stealth em up" but I played something recently that involved sneaking around and for the first time ever I quite liked it. You still have to do a lot of killing, but I found out that the turrets are good for that.

Really enjoying it. Very different, looks superb and very funny indeed. Well worth buying.

Anyone else waiting and watching in anticipation for Diablo 2 Resurrected on Thursday? Having played the close alpha and the beta they've done a really great job at it.

What are the recommened PS5 games?

I have Ass Creed Valhalla, which includes the PS5 game.

The Astro Bot game that comes with it is probably the best showcase still.

Ass Creed sounds like some shifty porn

Depends if big men sticking stuff in people is porn.... oh wait

Thanks folks.

As you have the disc console, this is a handy list to check if you can buy the PS4 version for cheap and get a free upgrade to a PS5 version

Thank you. CYberpunk 2077 is £17 on ebay now!

Good call.. I will look at that..

Mrs W and I introduced our 12 year old granddaughter to Risk on Saturday. We gave her advice on strategy, but she got the concept very quickly and knocked me off the board once we'd cashed in a few card sets. She might well have soon if we hadn't gone on long enough for her bed time to interrupt the proceedings.

Knockout City is quite good fun, stylish presentation and I can feel myself getting ever so slowly, ever so slightly, better at it.

There are some people on there that are just toooooo good and I get trounced (much like COD, PUBG, etc, I'm just not good at online competitive gaming with randos), but the rounds are quick and sharp, so it can stay fun.

Are you playing exclusively with randos? I'm tempted to fire it up tonight with a couple of pals

I haven't bothered to add any friends on PS4, but I'd be happy to jump into a game if it ever lines up timewise.

On Curio's recommendation, I'm playing Maquette and it's simply superb. Loving the puzzles, and when you have that "Aha!" moment, it all seems so simple.

I’m plodding my way through Metroid Dread. I’m largely enjoying it — it’s the first 2D Metroid I’ve played. There are moments of frustration, due largely to the frequency of boss battles and the, to my mind, quite fussy controls. But I’ve managed to get past all of them so far without hitting a wall, so that’s something.
Is anyone else playing it?

I've been playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond on the Switch. It's a good game

Midnight Protocol (steam): you are a 1337 h4x)(0r and you infiltrate systems using a command line interface in this turn based game. Choose from programs to defeat barriers to progress, and upgrade your console to make stuff better.

It's simple enough, to move you type in where you want to go around the network and it can get quite tense as you try and work out if you have enough time to do something before the trace fires and you get caught . Missions are done through email providing a narrative and the while thing is wonderfully immersive on this side.

Well worth the tenner or so I paid for it.

Halo: Infinite campaign. Downloaded this on PC last night and it kept me up until pretty late. So far so Halo but in a good way. Really enjoying it.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. A proper Baldur's Gate style old school CRPG. Great fun, expansive plot, tons of fun combat.

I played Deathloop last night, what a great concept. I am loving the madness of it all. It is groudhog day with guns. The characters integration is fab and funny.

I do like how the person hunting you just pops up to fuck you up, at the worst possible times..

One of the most frustrating games I have played. I really am enjoying it. Just dying is too easy.

This now has the thumbs up from Curio AND Mali?

And it was free on PS+?

Don't sleep on this!

I’ve been playing Inbento today. It’s available on all the platforms, including mobile, for not many pennies (and is 40% off on Switch at the moment)

It’s a little puzzle game where you (the actual cat’s mother) try to fit little blocks of various foodstuffs into your kitten’s bento box, to match the recipes on the page.

Ignoring the ‘background’ (cats and kittens, which song really feature apart from as little slides between sets of levels) the game mechanics change with each level set. So you might swap blocks, stack blocks, cut and paste blocks (etc) to match the patterns given. It’s not difficult, but it’s engaging, and charming.
