    I have played it. I didn't like it, but I have played it. The devs were the target of my first post. Phonics is just so sure that I'm having a go at him at all times that he sees my every post as somehow against him. I think it's because he's thick and paranoid.

    I thought it was a 2D Dark Souls as well. Like, throughout the time it's been in early access. I've found a few reviews drawing up the comparison too.

    Because video game writers are really, really shit at both writing and/or original thought. The IGN review was literally plagiarised word for word off a youtuber ffs.

    If you're going to go with a Souls-esque comparison it'd be far closer to Nioh. Everything on screen when it comes to enemies is clearly telegraphed with long wind up animations but you move with such speed in comparison to everything else that it's simply not Dark Souls. I could swipe with a sword, parry, invincible frame roll out and throw 2 different grenades in the time it took to do 1 heavy attack animation in Dark Souls. You do not follow the same rules as the enemies, simple as.

    If I would have to be the preening games journalist, I'd call it a side-scrolling Hyper Light Drifter meets Spelunky via Enter the Gungeon.

    Genuinely believe this could become the best game I've ever played. As a huge roguelike fan its basically the best of every single effort so far.

    It'll be interesting to see if that opinion evolves, I played the shit out of the Early Access version up until I felt I could get up to the first boss with the most basic of kit and my eyes closed, which made the beginning of every new run feel like a bit of a chore. I hear they've added permanent damage modifiers that you can upgrade based on Red/Green/Purple so maybe the solution to that issue is just by making you start super powerful so you blast through it.

    Laziness all round, then. Although that plagiarized review was outstanding. I'm amazed that can still happen when you're dealing with an opinion piece. It'll be interesting to see if he's got form for that or whether he got nowhere with the game and then pushed that out to meet a deadline.

    As discussed on the last page, they're trying to sell you a video game by comparing it to another one that's popular. Not trying to accurately describe it.

    No, it's giving people a point of reference. Otherwise every game would pitch itself as the greatest Battle Royale of all time.

    My favourite things about UFC 3 so far are Snoop Dogg commentating on knockout mode, and the detailed insight you get from the pre-match information graphics

    Snoop Dogg commentating on things is heavily underrated. It should be its own genre by now.

    In fairness to that graphic there are two potential outcomes not represented, but it's still lol. In the last game I had a graphic on a created fighter tell me I'd won all of my three fights by first round knockout, that my knockout percentage was one hundred, and that I'd never gone past the first round. It's something they really must improve upon.

    At the point where you're just fighting fictional characters they should make up random facts to pad it out, like fatal allergies or favourite colour.

    Just got a prospect contract so I'm facing real fighters now. Well I say real fighters, but then my new rival is CM Punk.

    That graphic reminds me of the PES commentary. "They're on a great run of 5 games unbeaten." followed by, "They've not won in three."

    God of War is growing on me. Still pissing about on easy but the combat options have opened up a bit. I still don't know whether I should be using lock-on or not. Atreus is starting to be useful. I really, really like how that game looks and it's weirdly quiet, compared to the prior games. I'm interested to see how they tie it in to Kratos' Greek past.

    I don't lock on unless there's a proper hard cunt who I want to batter quickly.

    I'm still doing a lot since completing the story and it's great. I won't 100% it but there's a lot I want to so still.

    Beat the end boss on Dead Cells the first time fighting him. Hell of a fucking fight, was two hits away from death. What a build, what a game:

    So with this being a roguelike, how long are the runs? Can you save or are you committed to it?

    Playing GT Sport with a gaming seat, PS4 PRO and steering wheel is incrediable. Its a different experiance. Played 3 races last night and it is by far, the most fun ive ever had on a computer game.

    Runs are as long as you want them to be. You can avoid all enemies, and you're rewarded for speed, my complete run took me around an hour. You can quit out at any point and continue some other time.

    Sounds like I'll be getting onto Dead Cells before the year is out, then. Found my first couple of Valkyries in God of War, too. I want nothing to do with them.

    I found the first to be ungodly hard (I think it took me about 15 tries of which 5 of those were with a resurrection stone) but the 3 that I've done since were a lot easier although still a test.

    Get into iRacing. Or Assetto Corsa at least, I think that one is available on PS4. Shits all over GT.

    GT Sport Platinum Challenge Week 6

    208/322 races completed
    67/91 wins
    59/65 pole positions
    165,000/2,400,000 EXP (6.87%)
    Level 35/50

    Still making nice progress. Finished 41 races this week at Interlagos with 20 wins and 17 pole positions. I decided to race a few times once i reached B rank and i was lucky to finish inside the top 3. The level of drivers at B level really is compeative. Once I win the 91 races, I just play Sport mode for fun and see how far I can rank up. A Level is possible but S Rank (top 200 in your reggion or top 10 in your manafacture) looks like a real challenege.


    They really should increase the EXP for competition in Sports mode. It is the most difficult game mode with the least rewards.

    I think I'm going to enjoy Seven: The Days Long Gone a lot. Even if it does have a rubbish subtitle. Actually no, in this case it's probably the "Seven" bit that's unnecessary.

    Either way, the game seems good.

    I'm now getting to the second boss pretty much every time but not beaten him yet. Got him down to one hit left but I decided to go for the easy hit instead of just zoning him out. That's the most Dark Souls thing, saying "One more hit" and then dying instead.

    I think Colourless items are bad and break the game though. You should have to get cursed to pick them up. They're too strong.

    I can imagine so but the scaling seems so out of whack when you find one of them versus other runs.

    Its the stuff that carries you to your first win and lets you progress. You'd need to know the game inside out or be autistically good to clear it otherwise, pretty much.

    A miscalculation on GT Sport. The number of races trophy isn't determined on how many races you have started, its calculated by how many races you have finished. This means that I am actually 33% through this trophy, instead of 66%. I have finsihed 106 races in total.

    This week's races on tracks I don't really like, I'm at 6 wins (73 in total) which is better than I thought I would do. The decal and car im currently using.

    The online trophies for winning are not that difficult. If you are not good at online racing though, the trophy would be impossible. The grind to level 50 is the biggest problem as it is going to be a repetative farming nightmare.

    That is something I am actually good at. I usually wualify inside the top 4 so staying out of trouble is easier than starting 14th. I am bending the rules though by getting DSQ every other race to keep my rank low.
