Returnal - "Hades x Aliens x Metroid" - PC version officially confirmed

You'll get 'em :capnscotty:

And by "get them" I mean "get incredibly lucky and not have them spawn all that much".

That would be the dream.

Boomerang have sent my, I think, THIRD rental copy of this over to me. So I'll be getting some practice in well before the co-op / tower patch hits.

Excellent!

Cheers!

Also - how the hell did you do that? I got really confused and thought I was having the biggest does of deja-vu ever.

Thread author can bump topics.

Interesting!

Update patch is just over 17 GB.

Just got some practice in, and while moving around and shooting generally came back to me pretty quickly, I died on last phase of first boss

And absolutely panicked in some of the more open areas with flying mobs and tree dude combos :oops:

So yeah. I still need more practice.

What would be best time for you? I'm usually free between 6 and 9.30 in the evening.

I can do around 7.15 - 8.30 in the evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays. Any other day it’s a bit harder to say.

I'm up for giving it a bash tomorrow. (There's something to be said about everything coming together when it matters :lol:

)

Ok, sounds good! I haven’t played for a week mind… this is the boost I need.

Do you do chat? If so I will probably use controller speaker (never tried before), apologies if I sound awful.

I’m guessing I need to host and then invite you at the start of a run? Sorry - I’m not much of an online gamer usually, but this would be fun!

Your already on my friends list, I’m ed_winchester (not my actual name in any respect - don’t ask!).

Ah, cool.

I'll be using pad mic as well, it'll do. Though I doubt we'll get much casual chat in considering the game we're playing :lol:

Re invites: there's a huge white sphere thing in the first room, we both have to use that. I'll use it when I get a game in in a couple hours just to see how it works.

Excellent

They have definitely NOT made this game easier. Amazing to say considering it wasn't easy before, but they've... made it harder! The feature where you can loot or avenge a fellow player? When I chose to avenge before, the hardest mob that'd show up were those HULKING tentacle beasts. Difficult in an open arena, but very easy to dodge and give the runaround to on a stage with platforms and hookshots. I chose to avenge two fallen players in my morning session and BOTH gave me that strawberry floater you meet in the 2nd biome. (The skinny teleporting dude.) And he had the red projectile seeker attack which causes malfunctions if it hits, as well as an area of effect attack which caused you to slow down and then the area it was cast on to explode. I got destroyed both times. Proper mullered. Didn't even come close to fully exploring first biome in either attempt. (Though I did make that second avenge mission harder by using a weapon I'm not familiar with.)

Early on I really need to stick with the Carbine and not dump it for a low level Hollowseeker asap. Not helping myself with that.

This is not the news I was hoping to hear...

It's not essential for progress and so it's not too bad.

Have sent you a pm also, but I won’t be on tonight now. Really sorry. Was looking forward to it too! Fired it up earlier and had a quick run.

No worries!

How did your run go?

I also fired it up for a extended run earlier:

Picking up higher level weapons really helped. Who knew?! :lol:

Not great. But it felt good to be playing it again. Also familiarised with the process for co op and for doing the tower (though I didn’t try either).

The haptics felt even better / stronger, but maybe it’s just from not playing for a week.
