Anyone ever have trouble playing through Shenmue 2 and getting the 'data read error' when loading? (I'm using a legit disc)
You can be playing for an hour or two, decide to save it and then get the error when the hotel with the save section is loading up (losing all of your progress). It's incredibly frustrating

Since God of War is not doing anything for me I decided to play some videogame comfort food and started the PC version of FF8. Having a lot of fun with it even if I'm finding the card game too addictive and spending more time on it than the actual game. The story is still utter nonsense but I just love how broken the battle system is and how much fun it is to destroy the games systems.

Completed it there on Difficult. Definitely better. Couple of the more noticeable differences were the end boss taking a lot more hits and the shell fish things on bubble man don't die when you hit them, their shells pop off and they run around like mad.

Been playing Duck Tales on the NES. It's a game that tends to show up on lists of easy NES games but I actually found it a bit more difficult than people make out. Fun game, lots of areas to explore and extra items to find that are not a requirement for completing the levels.
Some end screens:

Bleugh, not sure I can tolerate finite saving & inventory management at my age 0 -

Haha yeah, running out of typewriter ribbons always stressed me the feck out!
Couple of hours into the original Luigi's Mansion now. I played through the 3DS sequel when it came out but never actually played the original.
It's such a polished game, hard to think it's nearly 17 years old!0 -

I find there's way more ink ribbons than you need in Resi and if you plan your route you shouldn't have much need of backtracking. Planning your route to the next item box is part of the fun.
That strategy and management is sorely missing from every other Resi game.

Planning your route is perfectly fine on subsequent playthroughs, but when you've not got a clue about the mansion, & its all new to you, it's a slightly tiresome mechanic. I could live with it though. The big killer for me was the rigid inventory system. Not being able to 'drop' items is just painful. That being said, I was enjoying the game up until my inventory became an issue.
Play as Jill first. She is the easy mode. She gets two more inventory slots than Chris. Chris with the 6 slots is very limited for a first playthrough.
Would be a shame to miss out on Resi 1 and REmake. They're amazing games and unlike any other survival horror game or Resident Evil.

I was playing as Jill I was progressing, albeit early on, and found myself with a full inventory within the first two hours or so. Even combining herbs, reloading the gun to remove clips, etc, it got full. Backtracking to a chest to offload items was the deal breaker for me. Maybe I'll go back to it another time, now that I know what I'm dealing with. 0 -

Been playing a lot of FF8 lately but I'm nowhere in the story. Once you know how to play the game it's incredibly easy to break and I'm having too much fun with that. Also triple triad is probably the best card mini game ever and is taking up a lot of time as well

You need to unload more of those surplus clips into Zombies! 0 -

Off hand that I can remember, I had a Survival Knife, an Armour Plaque thing, a Handgun, a clip, a combined green herb, a book of some description, a jewel, and a typewriter ribbon - full inventory. Reached the shotgun hanging on the wall & couldn't take it :rolleyes:0 -

Sure who needs a shotgun for taking out zombies when you have ribbons and jewels! 0 -

Get rid of the survival knife, it's useless unless you are doing a knife run. The plaque should be stored away unless you picked it up. Also don't bother carrying typewriter ribbons. There's always a ribbon at each typewriter and in the majority or cases the typewriters are beside storage boxes.

Well hope it helps when you finally go back to the classic Resi games. Would be a shame to miss out on the experience.
BTW both Resi 1 and REmake are both quite different experiences so worth playing both. REmake brilliant remixes the first game so it's different enough that it doesn't supercede the original, meaning there's more Resi goodness for everyone!
