Ooooh, how do I break this to you?
Hello everyone, sorry I've been gone. Work has been draining. I decided to drop the Steam app for now. I had to rely on my son's laptop and it was just too much trouble at the moment. I had considered the Metal Gear Solid Collection with the Switch 2 upgrade but just decided to save my money for Resident Evil in about two weeks.
That was fun. The story kept it fun, very cheesy and soap opera like but enjoyable nonetheless.
With a few tweaks it could be a better game, so I'm looking forward to the sequels.
Hardly used the Dragon style as I only faced Majima like 5 times. He stopped showing up.
I jumped back into Hearthstone this week. I watched a guy stream it and apparently they had made some major changes to battlegrounds mode. They've changed few elements up and it's much more complex now, and almost borderline chaotic. The end result is there aren't just two or three paths to victory, and you can get a lot more creative.
I also played ducktales remastered again. I ended up streaming that and apparently found a sugar daddy level tipper in there. I got $5 now, so I'm just about prepared to quit my full-time job.
This weekend I started playing the Xbox Series X version of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. Played some more Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and God of War: Ragnarok as well.
Man, very slow so far.
Friends till the end
I've been working on Batman Arkham City this weekend.
I received my Dipatch refund funds and spent a small portion of them on Wavetale, which was 90% off at €2.99. It's an indie platformer set on a sea, where your character kind of surfs on the waves? I'm not sure what it really is yet, but it has a nice style to it, although resolution could have been better. Then again, it's a Switch1 game and I doubt the developer patched in improved resolution for Switch2.
Based on the graphical style I figured it'd be a game from a dev from the mediteranean, but it's actually a bunch of Swedes. That cought me off-guard.
If it weren't for the central gimmick and how the posters look, this should be a flop.

PS6 reportedly doesn't just rely on AMD RDNA 5
16.02.26 - According to the leaker KeplerL2, which is considered reliable, the PlayStation 6 will not rely entirely on AMD's RDNA 5 graphics architecture.
KeplerL2 noted that the PS5's inner workings are already a hybrid solution of RDNA1 and ray tracing, and that the "PS6 is not entirely based on RDNA 5" either. Sony has not confirmed or commented on the information.
Bought that game 3 times. Everytime it hard crashed after the Penguin boss battle. And nothing would work to shift the game on.This Saturday will mark the 40th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. Damn.
Firstly the Paper Mario TTYD contender article. Interesting as they say its even bettwr than Bug Fables - Escape from Ever After is the game they're talking about.
Second article is David Jaffe mauling the 2D God of War game.
When I saw the trailer, even as a non fan I was like, why doesnt he look like Kratos? It's such an iconic look its weird that you play as this generic looking character.
Then it got me thinking about all these massive franchises having indie like 2D de-makes announced. Like the Rogue Prince of Persia, the 2D soul reaver, maybe even the new Castlevania game.
I know Castlevania was originally a 2D games but it kind of follows the trend of publishers trying to maybe steal some indie thunder and... maybe failing a bit?
Like David Jaffe said, GOW 2D has Blasphemous. Castlevania looks less like Castlevania than something like The Last Faith.
It worked with Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi though.
Yeah, that God of War: Son of Sparta game doesn’t look good to me either. I’ll pass on that.
Sons of Sparta looks like a dried dog turd. I get that not every game in a series needs to be a high budget AAA experience. But you can still put together a nice art style and some clever gameplay. This just looks like a mid-level indie title. Something that you check out with a PlayStation plus subscription, but nothing to pay for.
These big budget games having 2D games feels like they're trying to chase indie success, but it looks and feels contrived sometimes.
Then on the other hand, made with enough care and you get a new Shinobi Art of Vengeance.
