I finished the game twice, and I still have no idea of what’s going on most of the time. :lol:

Just enjoy the ride, that’s all.

30 odd hours in to Yakuza Like a Dragon and I'm absolutely loving it. It scratches so many JPRG itches with an absolute wealth of different stuff to do. If the combat had maybe an extra layer of complexity (like XC2) then I could honestly say it would be my favourite of the genre. So good.

I've been playing What became of Edith Finch.

I say playing, but it's more like an interactive novel. I've really been enjoying it, though.

Admittedly, I've had to turn the brightness right up so I can actually see where I'm going, but it's a really fun diversion. Tick VG.

I get this, I’m not sure I enjoyed it… depressing but a lovely game. I’m pretty conflicted about it really.

I thought it was gooseberry fool.

It's a shame you didn't get along with it, but I completely understand that. There's not much 'game' to it for one thing, and the story could be a bit off-putting

Yeah, just finished it, and I thought it was excellent. There is a point where you enter an interactive cartoon, which I just thought was so brilliantly done.

It's a plus one for games that surprise you.

I know this won't be for everyone, but I'm really so glad to have played this!

I started Super Mario Odyssey in the past couple of days, it’s a lot of fun but I get the feeling the huge number of goals may grind a little as it goes on.

The fish factory story still haunts me.

Don't feel any pressure to try and get them all, just move on naturally as you unlock the worlds. It's much better that way imo!

Like with BOTW's koroks I don't think the game is designed for you to get all of the moons.

That’s sound advice, a couple of folk have said something similar. Luckily most of the moons I have found fairly organically as I have a bit of an explorative nature.

Got Grunt, Zaeed, Garrus and Mordin in Mass Effect 2. I forgot how much I love this game.

Started playing Rhythm Heaven Megamix again last night (finished the main game a couple of years ago). I am now trying to complete the medium difficulty challenge train courses. I forgot how bloody hard this game gets, but it's fantastic :wub:

.

Its great that we are getting another Warioware game, but we really need another Rhythm Heaven game to go with it.

I loved Megamix. I must replay that at some point.

Some of the levels are hard as balls.

I absolutely love Yakuza Like a Dragon. Absolutely love it. Coming up for 40 hours in now, on to Chapter 12 and the huge amount of stuff you can do just keeps me coming back. I usually find that I just want to rush through the story as I get nearer to the end of a JRPG but I want to experience everything in this. I'm definitely going to finish it but I'm concerned something else shiny will catch my eye (hello Microsoft Flight Sim) before I get a chance to. If that happens then I can see myself buying it just so I don't lose it when it leaves Gamepass.

I've moved on to this too. Downloaded it a while back and forgot to play it.

I've made the decision to clear through my GP backlog, and then just crack on with the big stuff like Halo 5.

So far, I'm liking it. One thing I approve of is that the gun reloads, rather than having to scrat about looking for ammo.

I also have no idea what is going on, but hey. Whenever I finish a film I often have to look it up online to find out what I've been watching so no change there.

Back on the Wii U last night up in spare room, windows opened to let breeze in and played some more Ocarina of Time, it's poor framerate and 4:3 ratio do actually fade away as issues after 10mins. I also just realised in the save state screen you can get a scanned in version of the original Manual :shock:

Man the feels! :wub:

I don't think I could ever play the N64 version of OoT ever again. Wouldn't be able to adjust to the frame rate like you have.
