Yeah I don't blame people for staying away from it, I'm just sucker for MM :eyes:
I'll stream bit later on, I think I have direction this time now I've got few masks (Until yesterday I only had 3 masks)

Playing a fair bit of John Wick Hex on Switch and it's actually a really enjoyable strategy game.

Also got Streets of Rage 4 and it's sublime, I love the art style and the music and how each character feels really different. I can see me doing a playthrough for each character.

Flower is great but a lot of that might be down to the motion controls specifically


Oh, I had no idea it was a motion controlled experience initially. That might explain why it hasn't really grabbed me if the game is designed around that.

Yeah, I think it's one of the best uses sixaxis had on the PS3 - not that there is a huge amount of competition! The moving of the controller in broad sweeps and spins is slow and imprecise in a way that is often a fair criticism of motion controls but feels right for controlling something as abstract and invisible as the wind carrying flower petals (I don't think the movements are actually that broad as it's just wrist movement, but the feeling is broad and drawn out compared to the minute movement of an analogue stick). It's just a really good mapping of input to gameplay and theming. It definitely focuses on the feeling of playing the game more than level design or anything like that.

Been playing Majora's Mask on 3DS to remind me how dungeons and such play out and with the project restoration mod its great.

Not doing 3hearts challenge yet - I want to do OOT3D Master Quest first for that - so basically just do sidequests and see if I can't get 100% on MM3D this time.

Ratchet and Clank - PS5 - finished it again on challenge mode and maxed out all weapons. Nothing left to apart from wait for the sequel.

Neir automata - PS5 - started this again as I have not played it since a few hours at launch. I'm enjoying it so far and like the art style and upgrade system. Hopefully I'll get more into it this time.

Wish my image sig would work

I’m currently sat on 106 stars in Mario 64. I have the last 2 stages, Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Ride to get through then I’m ready for Bowser.

I'll report back later.

Other than that I'm playing Rocket League which I'm convinced has the most toxic community on the planet (although I don't play FIFA/CoD anymore). I'm stuck on platinum 3 and my fury is almost always at my own team mates.

I played Far Cry 4 and Sniper Elite 4 and the FPS boost is very impressive. I forgot that just before the Series X launched I was really getting into FC4 so I've enjoyed playing more of it at locked 60, sure the resolution makes it look a little 'soft' but it's still stupid fun. I played through the first level so SE4 with my daughter on co-op (it's 60fps on S and X) and it was brilliant.

Some lovely people helped me out in Dark Souls DE, the first invaded my game to help me kill things rather than me (they invade to kill 99% of the time) he killed loads of things, opened up a short cut and vanished. Then 2 others left summon signs outside the fight against the 2 Ogres on top of church. The Capra demon is next up though. :cry:

Other than that I'm playing more Halo MCC mp with mates, Halo 2 Anniversary online is gorgeous.

Some screenies:

Rocket leagues community is a strawberry floating disgrace. I've had people comment on my having a rainbow flag as supporting people with mental issues, I've seen people use tons of use homophobic and racist language. I report them, and you do sometimes get Psyonix deal with it. gooseberry fool, I had someone threaten to rape my entire family.

That's kinda sad about Rocket League. I used to play that frequently a few years ago and I never had any issues.

Started on Mafia definitive edition on the Series X. I never played the original so this is all new to me and I'm sort of pissed off that I missed this first time around [emoji23]

Finally started Ori 2 today, only played around 30 minutes but can already tell this is going to be a wonderful experience like the fist one :wub: graphically and musically it’s just amazing, time will tell for the gameplay and story but they’ve both gotten off to a good start even with such a short time with it.

I finished Disgaea 5 and Catherine Full body on switch then kept trying other games and nothing clicked, now I've ended up back on the 3DS on Fire Emblem Birthright , I played conquest on release and enjoyed it but never tried birthright , might play this then revelations , just happy to have a game I'm looking forward to playing again after about two days of sticking something on and wanting to drop it after 30 minutes.

Playing Gang Beasts local co-op - pretty funny, but could do with more locations; and, Donut County - nice, but seems slight so far.

Moved onto Limbo after finishing up Flower.

I played this years ago. I feel pretty much the same way about it as I did then, good game, a little bit annoying because of how trial and error it is at points.

Been destroying my PS3 backlog over the last month & bit.

Currently coming for :datass: on Wipeout HD.

I forgot how the cheap, nasty, disgusting, abusive, skanky, perverted, slippery, obnoxious, filthy, sweaty, annoying, frustrating, fiddly, itchy, festering, loud, stinking, potty mouthed Elite AI is.

What I have learned from games like this is, you gonna get bummed. Hard. Instead of KY Jelly, this game gonna use the juice from long cut green beans.

You just gotta take the pounding & deal with it.

Edit: it’s coming to 5:45pm & all’s I’ve had is bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs & some more bombs. Especially on the corners. How convenient. When you start to to well the AI seems to have some sort of bitch ass hissy fit.

Please Sir, can I have more bombs
