Currently Playing in 2019....

Human Fall Flat (thanks to Game pass on Xbox One)

I love it when dumb stuff happens in that game

Yeah it's great, gonna play it off and on for randomness. Would love to play it with people I know though

Also part of Game Pass I've downloaded Quantum Break Got to Act 3, impressions are mostly positive but I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it to be honest

No subtitles for videos/radios you collect during the game which meant, missing out on lore/story. I'm pretty sure Alan Wake does same so I'm disappointed that they didn't fix this...

TV Episodes are neat, I like them but at same time they're also bother -- I play the game because I want to play it, not watch between my play sessions. Petty I know.

The combat is great though, enjoying the gameplay a lot. I dunno how long it is but until then I'll enjoy it when it lasts and there's always all collectibles and doing all of it on Hard (playing on Normal)

Human Fall Flat is what all games should aspire to be. The fact that it does 8-player co-op instantly makes it more fun than 100% of AAA releases (why Gears of 4 decided to go back to two player after the previous game was 4-player still baffles me).

There's a bunch of clips of our best bits here: https://www.everybodyplays.co.uk/feature/Human-Fall-Flat-is-the-funniest-multiplayer-puzzle-game-around/2796

Took over an hour but finally met up with my mates on DayZ, tonight we heading to the North Airfield for some great loot and possibly death.

B)

Needs more trebuchet and coal mining shenanigans though

I want to play more of it tbh

But I'm thinking about getting it on PC - more people and all that? Either way it might be another game where I won't mind doubledip, at least

I have it on Switch and played it through on my own, when I tried the online multiplayer with randoms it was a bit horribly laggy unfortunately.

It seems be fine on Xbox one, didn't feel too laggy at all

Dunno if it's same in remaster, but you can turn off the respawn to make it more challenging. It was added in original game via update, there's even achievement for doing whole game without dying as well.

I personally don't mind combat in Bioshock 1, though it is much better in Bioshock 2.

Apologies for late response sir, but thanks to your reply I sought out the option for disabling the Vita chambers! Makes it feel less like an arcade game with infinite continues now :p The only problem is the game takes longer to reload a save than it does to respawn you at chamber, d'oh. Still, does mean I can't war of attrition my way through the game now.

Also, in regards to your next post on Sonic Adventure, it's worth getting it on PC so you can do the better SADX mod. Retains the benefits of the DX version while letting you customise the visuals to resemble the Dreamcast version more

No worries, glad that worked out for you. I've yet to do it myself since I just wanted to explore the damn game without slow loading times

Yeah I've been looking to that one, only did XBLA version because wanted all achievements from it haha. When I ever have urge to replay it I'll definitely go down the mod route.

Even on SSD on PC the load times are a bit longer than I'd like! Not awful by any means but it does make quick saving often a pace breaker. Maybe good in a way so I don't abuse that

Funnily enough I downloaded a 100% save for SA on PC so I could just go straight to the levels I wanted to replay...this then lead to me receiving achievements I hadn't properly earned at all <.<

Ha, I just skipped curscene so I was able to finish whole lot in six hours or less. Funny how considering it took me ages to beat it on first few playthroughs... Used to dread bigs levels because I sucked back then. Now they're so dead easy to do (although having done his B-rank and A-rank missions it can sod off for time being)

But it's also first time I've gotten all 130 emblems, happy with that

Just watched the trailer for that.

Erm, why have they gender swapped Terry Bogard? Surely there's plenty of female SNK characters available without having to do that.

Wahey! Good lad

I aspired to get all emblems way back when but never did, probably wouldn't have the patience now. Especially on Sonic Adventure 2, the most nightmarish of completionist nightmares D:

SADX is pretty easy to be fair, only two things that's hassle are Big (more RNG than actually difficult)and chao races buteverything else is pretty easy.

SA2B is more difficult though, yeah. Still doing it sometime soon though, as I love SA2 a lot

If anything could ever persuade me to try 100%ing again, it'd be the chao race themes



Along with those lil' critters being so darned cute

You ever played the Green Hill Zone stage on SA2? Antoher game I downloaded a 100% save file for so I could finally play that level

Not yet, I've never done all emblems on SA2 either but really want to.

Dracula X Chronicles. Played it for a couple of hours this morning. Turned out to be more unputdownable than I thought it would be. So of course, I'm enjoying it. I enjoyed the original Rondo of Blood, and this is a pretty faithful remake, so it makes sense. Main difference apart from the new graphical style seems to be the the added cutscenes.

It does feel a little easier and I can't pinpoint exactly why. Some hitboxes seem more generous, some enemies seem to take less hits and the movement seems a bit more fluid - but I think when I played Rondo it was some 50hz version, so it could just be that. It was also years ago when I played it so I may just bit mis-remembering. Not really complaining though. It's still a decent challenge and they didn't add any unnecessary mechanics like backdodging.

Some minor nitpicks: a couple of the sound effects sound too cartoony, like a really boingy sound when - *googles for name* - the Hunchback enemies jump. Bats blend into the background a bit too well. Granted, that wasn't as much of an issue as I thought it would be later on in the game.

It's also funny to me that this is the game they chose to remake and not Symphony, which they squirrelled away here as an unlockable (I can think of a few possible reasons why they did this, but still). I did also just get this game for the enhanced version of Symphony, but I'm enjoying it so I guess I'll play through it first.

I remember unlocking that bad boy back in the day.

The GHZ recreation was nice but it wasn't really worth the effort. Crazy to think that Sonic 1 was only 10 years old when they put that homage in and now SA2 itself is 17!
