LA Noire is crap. Not sure if they improved it when it was rereleased but the original version was dogshit.

Still playing Knack 2 and was intending to aim for the platinum. Problem is, not sure I can unlock one of the trophies. Missed getting all of the super powers in both full play throughs but picked up the final power by replaying the specific chapter but the trophy did not unlock. Playing through on easy again to see if it unlocks in story mode but will abandon if it doesn't unlock.

Also chipping away at Cuphead (about one hour per week). Done the third boss on Island 3.

Waiting on the switch port, hope it comes soon enough! The animation looks fantastic

I actually quite enjoyed it when it first came out, but this 'remaster' IS utter dogshit, certainly on a technical level - they have made no effort whatsoever to improve the game. Pop-in on this level wouldn't be acceptable on a new game, so why they thought it would be okay on a remaster of a last-gen title is beyond me.

Haven't played anything for a couple of weeks as I've been enjoying getting back into my art. I did buy the Naruto Trilogy via PSN as it's on sale (£18.99) so will start that sometime this week. Probably Thursday as I'm off work.

I'm loving the game tbh. Hopefully it does come to Switch so more people can play it.

Final Fantasy VII. It’s alright, yeah. The snowboarding section on the Vita was delightful. As in, horrific.

If anyone posts ‘Don’t use your Vita as a snowboard, then ’ then they’re getting banned.

I forgot about that bit. I really need to play this game again.

It’s aged brilliantly. Still the best one, in terms of the moment-to-moment plot, the combat, the customisation, the music, the mini-games, the side quests, the characters. Just about to ‘borrow’ the submarine - black chocobo in the bank already an’all

Mix of Joyride Jetpack, Monster Hunter World and FFXIV on PS4

Joyride Jetpack is better on small screen but still enjoying it, just can only play it in small brusts before my eyes has enough of scrolling screen at fast speeds

MHW when I've got nothing to do on FFXIV - unlike some people I don't move from main missions to another quicky and instead took my time learning bow/daggers and doing SOS missions as well sidequests, it's fun to play in either small brusts or long sessions depending on my mood

Maybe I should add Bayonetta on Switch to mix, but I'll wait and see how things go over next week

I'm a big Trials fan so I've been checking out the latest Xbox freebie Trials Of The Blood Dragon. I was looking forward to this despite the critical mauling. After all, more Trials can only be a good thing, right?

I'm on a ship in Resident Evil 7. This is still kinda underwhelming to me. The pacing feels off. The gameplay isn't really that great when you break it down, VR I assume would be much better. It also feels like there was strawberry float all money thrown at it. The lack of locations and padding kinda hurt it.

Very close to dropping it.

I didn't enjoy the ship part. You aren't too far from the end now....

Finally tried out The Surge after leaving sealed for a few months, anyway wish I tried it earlier really fun souls-like game.

Been playing a bit of Grand Theft Auto 5 : online

Just general larking around, trying about a few things.

Tried the vehicle cargo missions & you can only do so many before a cool down period.

If your from Rockstar can you please tell me why you have put some mobile bollocks in my game?.

Cus screw being a proper online community when we can play off people's impatience for da mullah. Yeah, you can't pay to reduce those cooldowns, but it's one more method of making money quickly locked off for a while.

GTA online has been a series of fun updates locked behind micromacrotransactions

It's really frustrating because the game tries to force you into either paying an extraordinary amount of money for 30 minutes of fun, or dedicating tens of hours to grinding out the same few missions to maximise earnings

I played GTAO for easily over 100 hours and I was almost perpetually broke, I could never afford almost anything

Oh, I'm very easily over 1000 hours. I have the most stuff on PC - including the most expensive yacht for less than half thanks to taking advantage of offers - but on the Xbox One version I have the Oppressor. It took me ages to get the money for all of it - since I only really ever take on the races unless contact missions are on the double.

I never actually bothered with GTA Online, for me, GTA5 was always about the main story.
