Half Life 2. Just got to Ravenholm.

strawberry float off Ravenholm.

...We don't go to Ravenholm.

La-Mulana. It's hard.

Finished SW: Battlefront at last - Platinum trophy, diorama fully complete, all costumes, emotes et al unlocked.

Back to Darksiders II!

DiRT Showdown
Really motoring (ha) through this now. Good to have regular unlockables which adds a bit of incentive, as the events and locations do get samey. Racing is still good though, not particularly challenging, but entertaining. A good game to play for either a quick race or two or a longer session.

Trine
I've tried to get into this on at least two previous occasions, and just couldn't. For some reason I got the urge to play it last night and it just clicked, and I spent about 3 hours on it. Looks lovely, sounds lovely, and the continual evolution of abilities and associated puzzles keeps it feeling fresh and engaging. Really feels like it's moving along at a pace though, almost concerned it's going to finish 'too soon', which would be a rare complaint from me. I do have Trine 2 waiting in the wings as well though. Lovely when a game takes you by surprise like this and has you hooked.

PES 2015
Still pretty addicted to Master League...my only real gripe with the game is the collision detection feels off at times, and quite frequently (at least once a match, usually more) I'll tackle somebody, they'll fall over, and then my player will get stuck on/behind them and can't reach the ball. It's so annoying. Has this been rectified in later games?

That's because it's scary as strawberry float! Seriously though, those shambling black headcrab zombies and the ones that run at you

Dying Light scares the crap out of me. As soon as I'm on the ground my heart is going ten to the dozen.

Such a shame this has been largely forgotten: it's great. Getting stuck outside at night is utterly terrifying.

Night time is terrifying. I didn't realise that by pressing the triangle button while running you look briefly behind and catch a glimpse of loads of zombies chasing you. strawberry floating horrid!

'Forgotten', you reckon? Surely a fair proportion on us have played it. I certainly hope so, anyway.

I stopped playing it at that point and never went back to it.

I can't handle scary games at all, I don't know why but no other form of media has such effect on me.

Is Ravenholm meant to be scary?

Love a good scare myself, and with so few films dishing out genuine scares video games is where it's at. This is why as pant wetting as I'm finding Dying Light I'll soldier on. Which reminds me, I must get back to Soma at some point.

I have a few scary games on the backlog. Outlast, Soma, Amnesia. Hoping to get stuck into them soon.

Fired up BF1 for the first time last night. Had a look through the campaign while MP installed. As expected more a comic book adaptation of the horrors of WWI, but impressive nonetheless. Will take a look at MP this weekend, which, like most, is the main reason I bought it.

I didn't think it was, was always surprised at the reputation it seemed to garner. Man, I should replay HL2.

Outlast. It's scary. I'm scared. My boxers are filled with feces.

You should do what the 3/4 of man babies on here do and wimp out of playing anything scary. Cheaper laundry bill for you, anyway.

No way buff, gotta power on through. I'm really enjoying it apart from the underwear changes.

Nothing like getting chased around by crazy nekkid dudes. Although, the game did the ultimate dick move, camera fell down a hole

Final Fantasy VI on BSNES w/a CRT filter and this patch applied

This game has without question been on my to-do list longer than any other, and a big part of that was me being unsure which version to play. Decided that I'd be likely to replay the game down the line, so I went original for now and will likely go GBA or Steam in future. Funny how no matter which iteration you go for, you'll want to patch it to fix things heh.

Regardless, I'm having so much fun with it The script is pretty simplistic and clearly held back by the limitations of small storage space, but it still gets by with bags of charm and immensely creative scenarios. Was actually surprised to see how goofy it is too! I'm only a third in so I'm sure the tone will go south in time, but so far it's made me laugh multiple times. I also love the variety in characters, provides some really fun abilities to play around with.

Out of the FFs I've finished (1/3/4/5/7/9), this is easily ranking as one of the best so far. So glad to finally be playing it!
