Got 18.

Can't believe I couldn't place the Dark Souls sound effect, I've played all those games multiple times.

Mr Crispy

24 for me, although a good 3 or 4 of them I know from memes and references, rather than from playing the games themselves.

I couldn't find it!

31 for me. One or two there like super metroid I really should have got.

BlitzKrieg

I got 37

then I was kicking myself when I revealed the remaining as I knew them but I was mixing them up. I wouldnt have gotten a perfect 60, some games I hadnt played. But I should have gotten at least 7 that I confused myself on (I somehow got civilisation and world of warcraft mixed up and was stubborn)

Thanks, I didn't know those icons went deeper. I figured out the keyboard markup too: Start a paragraph with > to make it a quote, or !> to make it a spoiler.

I ended up getting 21. Sickened with the amount of classics i didn't pick up on

!> will test here. I couldn't place the RE2 sound but I knew that I knew it.

Boo, not working for me

Penn

I got 15 (I was trying to just type 15. but stupid new stupid Boards stupid new posting stupid style kept stupidly autocorrecting it to 1. to start a numbered list).

Should have been closer to 20, some obvious ones I missed. Everything else I either never played or never would have gotten anyway.

Zero-Cool

Castor, press space or enter after the 2 symbols to get the spoiler box popup and then type in there.

Ah, Got it. Had to press enter.

Taylor365

Got 22.

Should have known 3 or 4 more, but they are quite recent and not as ingrained in the brain as others, more classic sounds.

Just booted up Flight Simulator on PC to check the new update, and they have indeed done an incredible job lowering the CPU load as promised. Game runs really nice and smooth at 1440p without sweating my ageing CPU now.

Digital Foundry were very impressed with the Series X version in their recent review.

Mr Crispy

I see Odhran was talking in the feedback thread about the need to clean up the way categories are structured on the site. Any changes planned here in Gaming?

Zero-Cool

Just a heads up that the new Halo game has a ton of story leaks and people are posting them on random social media posts. Just read major story points on a PlayStation post about Stray, for... reasons. I couldn't be less interested in Halo but for those out there who have been waiting a long time.

johnny_ultimate

Spoilers aside, Halo’s one of those series (and it’s certainly not alone) that reached its natural narrative ending over a decade ago and they’ve kept on dragging it out through a bunch of sequels since. Not that Halo was ever particularly noteworthy for its story or lore in the first place!

Zero-Cool

Damn I'd love Max Payne 1 and 2 remade in the engine for 3 (or newer).

I finished Halo 5 a few days ago and I couldn't even tell you what it was about. It's so uninteresting.

It's all about the joy of shooting going through single player and then multiplayer is always good in Halo games.

Few games, if any, dripped with as much character as Max Payne 2 did. Love that game. It's top of my list for a remake.

I finished this a while back, say a few months ago.

I have the exact same sentiment , such a dull storyline, only plus was Multiplayer

The way they advertised that 'story' was **** hilarious compared to what actually happens in it.

pixelburp

Today in "tropes that annoy you", and possibly one I've whinged of before, are those save points before boss fights are are jusssst the wrong side of "too far" to make each death a double pain in the hole to get back to the fight. This is the otherwise excellent Dandara, where sometimes tracking back is a total chore.

Console gamers review bombing the FF pixel remasters on metacritic.

I thought only PC players were entitled but seems obnoxious fanboys operate an equal opportunities policy.

What makes it more baffling is that there is no way in hell these ports are not coming to console in due time.

Varik

It's 10-15 negative reviews depending on the game, and it's seems to be the same 2 guy who've actually written anything at all.

Art of Rally is coming to Xbox, Game Pass (Xbox, PC, Cloud) and Switch next Thursday. I like the Dirt Rally games so I'm looking forward to giving it a go.
