I've been playing Grim Fandango for the 1st time. Kinda hard at times, or I'm just dumb about which objects to use where. Needed like 4 hints to get outta town and to the start of the forest.

The Suffering: Ties That Bind

Finished this in two sittings. Pretty fun action/horror hybrid. Easy to pick up/get into but becomes pretty frustrating in later missions due to the whack-ass difficulty curve. Still, you get to do cool things like dual wield shotguns and stuff. So yay for that.

Finally checked out Hunt: Showdown after the recent upgrade. Good shit.

Playing through MGS1 and holy jank. Way ahead of its time though. I'm a nostalgia only gamer at this point.

 

[no country for old wainds]

still my favourite of the series despite the jank tbh.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

It's pretty great. I still swear by 3. Remember playing it Christmas morning when it came out.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i struggled with 3 when it came out, found it hard to get into plot/atmosphere wise while also hating how fiddly it was navigating the menus and stuff, but i haven't revisited it as an adult so i'd probably love it now, i know it tends to be the critics' favourite.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

It's definitely different. 2 felt like more of an extension of 1 atmosphere wise. Love that one too.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah i love 2 even though it's absolutely retarded haha. the peaks of that game are incredible and burnt into my brain.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

Haha I miss wacky storylines like that. It's like anime James Bond.

i need to buy a controller with pressure buttons so i can emulate it tbh, it's impossible with a ps4 controller

1 or 2? I had to look up a how-to for the Mantis fight haha.

1 or 2? I had to look up a how-to for the Mantis fight haha.

1 emulates fine from what i remember. the problem with 2 is it relies on pressure button technology that was specific to ps2 controllers, i tried playing it using a newer pad and half the controls don't work 'cause you need to be able to only half push down a button to aim and then fully push it to fire, stuff like that. there might be a workaround now 'cause i haven't researched it in a while, but at the time i last tried and read reddit posts etc on it nothing worked and i gave up in the end lol

The Master Collection is like $40. All three MGS, MG1&2 and the non-Canon sequel to the first one haha.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

Finished MGS1. The build up to Fatman in MGS2 is fucking supreme. Kojima with the maximum cheese.
