    Return of the Obra dinn

    Heard a lot of positive things about this game on here and decided to get it cheap on the nintendo eshop.

    Have to say I was blown away with the intelligent storytelling, that is at the centre of this game.

    The puzzles were sometimes a tiny bit obtuse but it was the fine details that could lead you to to the correct name and death of a crewmember.

    Really really enjoyed it and, I can't get over the fact that, it was effectively made by one guy.

    I did cheat on one or two passengers, jesus especially some of the
    disappearances
    you would never get them.

    But once you got a nudge I was alright to drive on for the rest, well worth it though amazing game , can see why it got so much praise.

    Don't get me wrong, absolutely loved it but also taking a break from it is a bad idea as I'm back to square one when I jump back in. It's a fantastic take on videogame narrative. Makes me want to give it another go tonight!

    Batman Arkham Knight[PS4] - a very good game although a few too many BS areas especially involving the batmobile. The biggest plus for me was Mark Hamill as the joker. He was genuinely hilarious at times. [edit]
    BioShock [PS4]- what an absolute masterpiece of a game. Enjoyed this so much. A definite must play if you like FPS/Horror.
    BioShock 2 [PS4] - another fantastic game in the series, as enjoyable as the first with a few loose ends tied up.

    Gave Bioshock 2 a whirl recently as well. Not even as close to a disaster as I'd been led to believe. Sure it suffers from a weak villain that's main inspiration seems to be "the opposite is just as bad. lol ideologues, amirite?" but the game-play is much improved and the Eleanor/Delta dynamic actually ending up feeling kinda sweet.

    Those Little Sister harvests can **** right off though.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,369 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    It's arguably the better game. I don't think Bioshock has aged particularly well and find it impossible to play. 2 has more interesting weapons and the defense sections add an interesting twist on the game. Also the narrative is far better than the first game where it's black and white ideologies , whereas bioshock 2 is more morally grey and explores much more interesting subjects. I do think both games are way too long though.

    Then there's the Minerva's Den DLC which is a bite sized piece of excellence and far and away the best thing to come out of that franchise.

    Hide and Seek.
    I've been hiding for the past 9 years so think we can consider the game COMPLETED.

    Amount of talent coming out of Bioshock 2's dev is mental.

    None of the DLC is included on PSNow, so I ploughed through Infinite instead. Was expecting something rotten given that game's legacy but it's still beautiful looking and they do set up actual compelling characters despite the shenanigans. I believe they un-CoD the combat in the DLC, which would've been appreciated in the main game because that **** feels like a committee couldn't pick a direction.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,369 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Thought infinite was a steaming pile of ****e. Looked gorgeous but was narratively vapid. The time travelling story wasn't satisfying and ending isn't as clever as it thought. And the combat was boring. How it handled race and class issues was very amateur.

    As for the DLC the first is ok but I actually enjoyed the second which turned the game into a stealth game. Pity the storytelling was bad again and has one awful case of ken Levine trying to retroactively correct one of the worst and dumbest scenes in the original game.

    Now it's been a decade since I played Bioshock 2 and the way I look at games has changed a lot in those years. But my issue with the game always was that despite clearly being a more polished and refined game, it lacked that original spark of the first journey to Rapture. The setting of the original was such a strikingly different and fresh environment, concept and vision (many rough edges aside)... the second game couldn't help but feel a little less interesting.

    It did have some great self-contained levels, and it explored the mechanics in a fresh way (don't recall enough about the story to comment much on that). It was in many ways an example of clearly creative people tasked with a somewhat thankless job of a direct follow-up to one of gaming's most distinctive blockbusters. But it's the sort of 'more of the same' sequel I often struggle to warm to.

    No doubt a revisit might provide a different perspective, although when that'd happen I don't know. Would be more curious to visit Infinite - really liked lots of it at the time, but having read some of the many impassioned takes, critiques and rants about that game (was legitimately a landmark game in terms of game criticism)... I reckon there's quite a bit of stuff worth digging into again there :pac:


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,369 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I was a few years late to the infinite party. I played it but had no idea of the backlash against it, just remember the hype and glowing reviews. Thought it was utter ****e and was baffled by the reviews until I looked it up and saw the critical perception had changed quite a bit.

    Hype is a hell of a drug.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 182 ✭✭Arcadeheroes


    Luigi Mansion 3 : Great game but too much padding inbetween and felt alittle too long.

    The Outer Worlds: One of the biggest letdowns I had in recent memory . Went in expecting Fallout New Vegas but what was given felt like a lower budget Borderlands.

    Final Fantasy 7 Remake : First 15 hours It was one of my fav games this generation, but the game suffers from terrible level design and the last few chapters were a slog to get through.

    Nioh 2 : Not as good as the first game , felt like a 60 euro dlc expansion and found it alittle too long , still had fun playing it .

    Just finished Unravel. Short enough game but I enjoyed it a lot. It looks great and the controls are excellent. There are no extremely difficult puzzles which I like. A fun game and I'll definitely get the sequel.

    Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. Completed and platinumed. The game has so much charm. Good humour, pretty visuals and thoughtful creature design actually make this a joy to play consistently; couldn't put the controller down. The story is earnest and the characters are delightful…even though the child protagonist is essentially a dictator that constantly preaches about ending all wars while starting plenty of wars of his own (in the form of this terrible skirmish battle minigame which is a blemish on an otherwise great game).

    I didn’t know if I was going to like it at first because I hated the way the game would load from an aerial shot angle to behind-the-shoulder battle sequences upon every enemy encounter in the open world areas. However, it won me over, plus the game has a great fast travel system which enables you to skip straight to the dungeons/special areas where the camera is behind the shoulder and combat is in real time. Later on you even get the ability to fly to bypass combat in open areas entirely if you can’t be bothered. Generally though, the Ni No is respectful of the player's time and you rarely have to retread the same ground. For instance, enemies severely below your level do not attack so you’re not forced to fight the trashmob for little to no XP.

    The best feature is the kingdom building where you recruit the appropriate staff and build the best facilities to put said staff in them. Each time you level up your kingdom it feels rewarding as not only does it look great (aided by increasingly bombastic music) but you can also build more facilities and get more staff. You can send your staff on research that will aid you in the open world as well as get them to produce materials which in turn help you to develop better weapons and armour, or even produce quest items.

    In fact, I think the reason why the game is so shameless about the amount of fetch quests it contains is that the work you put into building your kingdom means you can just grab the required items from your facilities if you can’t be bothered to actively hunt for loot drops. It’s nothing new, other games have staff management systems and if that's your kink then I think Ni No will scratch that itch. I personally found it quite addictive.

    The one downside (other than the aforementioned skirmish battles) is that it’s just too damn long. It’s a disease of the industry that apparently the worth of a video game is tied to its length now. The ending to story was so heartfelt, there shouldn’t have been much after that but no, if you want to fully level your kingdom you have to grind out more missions. Hitting the final level upgrade of my kingdom felt anti climactic when there was such a gap between it and the last upgrade. Everything has to have an endgame now as opposed to just…ending. Proof of how it overstays its welcome is that for the first 80 hours it ran incredibly well on my base PS4 but the last 10 hours or so became increasingly laggy.

    Overall though, a great JRPG and especially recommended to those new to the genre.



    Batman: The Enemy Within. Completed and platinumed. Wow, Telltale really stepped it up with season 2. I enjoyed this story even more than the first and I wasn’t expecting to, considering I’m quite tired of the Joker as a pop culture icon. However, they changed up the relationship between Joker and Bruce enough to make it fresh, yet avoided being fanficy. I actually enjoyed the Batman fight sequences here because there were more opportunities to fail unlike the first one.

    It’s far more technically polished than season 1 too and the music audio doesn’t cut out when loading between cutscenes anymore. I somewhat lost my enthusiasm though when Catwoman refenced something in season 1 that totally did not happen… because it was at that point I realised the game hadn’t imported my season 1 save like I asked it to. Thankfully, the choices you made in the first season don’t really effect the story in season 2 in a huge way - which makes sense in terms of making season 2 accessible to those who want to start there. A shame about Telltale shutting down as I would more than welcome a season 3, or better yet… a season 1 of Superman.



    Battlefield V. Completed and platinumed. Not sure which I prefer, this or Battlefield 1 but they’re both awesome. Excellent graphics, sound design and music that "truly makes you feel" like you’re in a war just like Battlefield 1 did, as opposed to a paintball competition like a certain rival game series not named Medal of Honour…

    Like Battlefield 1, you are rewarded by playing the objective and supporting your squad so no matter how good your KD is you’ll never make top 5 if you fail to do these things. You’re also encouraged to play the field whether it’s flying planes, pulling up in tanks or getting on AA guns. Being adaptable is the key to survival which is why matches never become boring. I also like how a match is never over until it’s over as I’ve been in matches where we’re down 200 points only to make a massive comeback and win the game, which means less rage quitting.

    Playing different classes ultimately increases your skill in all areas although I have noticed the assault and support class have received a buff while the medic and recon class have been de-powered somewhat, which is a plus for me because I instinctively like fast, close ranged weapons anyway. On that note, my only nitpick is that many of the starter weapons are better than the weapons you go on to unlock as you level up so progression is not really rewarding.

    But as this thread defines completion as “roll credits” then I must begrudgingly talk about the campaign which is…ugh. The War Stories continue to be largely useless with recycled mechanics and concepts from Battlefield 1, only more lazily designed. At best, they're tutorials for the multiplayer, at worst they're disingenuous "human perspective" pieces designed to ease the guilt of what is essentially the glorification of actual historical violence in the multiplayer. The section where you play as a Nazi was toothless and predictable. The disparity between the physics in the multiplayer and that of the single player is also jarring. Gunplay and tank battles feel so...fake.

    I'm also not sure why Dice insists on stealth sections when the stealth is actually bad. Doing it on hardcore for platinum was a pain because enemies detect you way too quickly, forcing you to sneak up to a certain point where crowd control is manageable enough to go loud. I did enjoy the French war story but that’s because it played to its "strengths" (which is the serviceable open gunplay) and only had one small stealth section.

    If you haven’t played Battlefield V multiplayer I would recommend it but skip the single player and never look back.



    Oh, dunno if I mentioned this but finally platinumed The Division 2 now that Massive has fixed it. Better late than never I suppose.

    GAME Animal Crossing: New Horizons*
    PLATFORM Nintendo Switch

    Even though I've ground out 80 odd hours to get to the end credits, I know well the game is only opening up properly at this point (hence the asterisk *). This was (and still is) an absolute joy to play. I didn't think I'd enjoy it this much. I don't know if I was still in work would I have the patience for it. It definitely was a game I needed to keep me occupied during this total ****fest of the last 2 months.

    No point in recommending it to people who aren't Switch owners/Nintendo fans, as I'm sure a vast majority of them already have this game. If you're into games like Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Harvest Moon - all those life-simmy/make-what-you-want games, this SHOULD be something to consider checking out if you haven't already.

    I have 90% of my playthrough all recorded, it'll be intriguing to go back and look at my island the way it was at the start months down the line.

    Anyway, I've rambled enough.

    MediEvil PS4 remake. Completed and platinumed. A charming remake that honours the original due to its faithfulness while making it accessible for today’s audiences. Admittedly, I never completed this game as a child because it scared the crap out of me.

    The level design is simplistic by today’s standards but back then was actually really sophisticated especially when you consider the target age group was 8 -12 year olds. The levels are short and sweet but they will be replayed multiple times either for health or money farming or as part of the new optional gameplay feature (which I don’t believe was in the original) where you find lost souls and lay them to rest by fulfilling their last wish.

    Could have done with a bit more technical polish: Platforming is hit and miss - very easy to get caught on the environment and there are some cheap fall deaths. Overall, a very earnest remake which should take about 4 to 20 hours depending on how familiar one is with the original and if going for platinum.

    Halo 2

    This for me has always been far and away the weakest of the Halo series. The development was a nightmare and it really shows. It yo-yos from good levels to terrible levels and there's a whole lot more terrible levels.

    The flood weren't all that fun to fight in the first Halo so bringing them back was a massive mistake, and bringing them back so early. Every level they are involved in is a pain to play.

    The library style of repeating drab corridor level design also rears its ugly head way too many times. Even worse they had the balls to bring back a library level for the sequel and it's still not fun.

    And then there's the brutes that replace the elites near the end of the game and they just aren't fun to fight. They are just annoying bullet sponges compared to the much better designed elites.

    And yet the gun play carries the game to the end even if I can't say I really enjoyed it.

    Actually looking forward to Halo 3. The 360 version was compromised with a 30 fps cap and very low resolution but I remember really enjoying it. Level design was a much higher standard and the flood only showed their face in two missions, one short and sweet, the other one of the very worst levels ever created for a FPS.

    Finished Just Cause 4 over the weekend. I enjoyed it but I can understand the bad reception it got. There are aren't enough main missions and the Region missions are extremely repetitive. I also didn't bother doing any of the stunts etc. The crazy action is enough to keep it entertaining but it's far from being a classic.

    Spent most of civilization's pause catching up on 'big' stuff I've never so much as looked at. Currently working my way through Arkham Knight to close out the Rocksteady trilogy but it's proving to be a bit of a wall for a number of reasons. Overexposure, firstly and obviously, but also the Batmobile craic is one thing but a core gameplay element seems to actually be using parking the ****ing thing as a puzzle. They've really perfected the combat here, so it's all a bit "Tale of Two Cities."

    My prevailing sentiments around Arkham seem to be like my feelings around Bioshock in that there's the making of 1, maybe 2, really good games spread out over a trilogy + expansions that come to outstay their welcome.

    I am 3/4 the way through finishing it for the first time, bought the game years ago on ps3 and never finished it, then bought it on ps4 a few years ago and never finished it, but have gone back to it last week and I am having a blast, even today nearly 7 years after its original release it still stands up, will deffo play through to the end... I have just finished off Control, loved it from start to finish, a great game, finished Spiderman before that, enjoyed that but it got a bit too samey and went on a bit too long for my liking.......

    Sonic Adventure 2

    This game is awful. It got good reviews at release but that's because it was the last gasp of the Dreamcast because it's not good, even back then it couldn't have been considered good.

    The game is obviously rushed. The story is complete nonsense with cutscenes seemingly taking place out of the context of what is happening in the game. There's 4 types of gameplay. The sonic/shadow stages are ok.... in that they kind of work and aren't as buggy but that's no ringing endorsement. The other Tails/Robotnik levels are awful, the racing is terrible and the Knuckles/Rouge stages are the worst. The final stretch of the game is the absolute worst with a terrible final shadow level where the gravity barely works and a terrible final level leading up to two bad boss battles. A complete mess of a game.

    Sonic Adventure 2

    This game is awful. It got good reviews at release but that's because it was the last gasp of the Dreamcast because it's not good, even back then it couldn't have been considered good.

    The game is obviously rushed. The story is complete nonsense with cutscenes seemingly taking place out of the context of what is happening in the game. There's 4 types of gameplay. The sonic/shadow stages are ok.... in that they kind of work and aren't as buggy but that's no ringing endorsement. The other Tails/Robotnik levels are awful, the racing is terrible and the Knuckles/Rouge stages are the worst. The final stretch of the game is the absolute worst with a terrible final shadow level where the gravity barely works and a terrible final level leading up to two bad boss battles. A complete mess of a game.

    Have you played the first Sonic Adventure, out of interest?

    Yes I have. It's pretty bad as well. Really has aged very poorly. But sonic adventure 2 is like that game except rushed. It's worse.

    Just finished South Park: Stick of Truth. I thought it was great fun and I usually hate turn based games. Great humour, decent story in usual South Park fashion, crazy visuals and really pushing the boundaries of gross out humour. I also finished Path of Sin: Greed from Artifex Mundi.

    Next up for me is Guacamelee 2.

    FF7 Remake

    Good game, the music got a great modern uplift from the original midi tracks.
    Felt the same as a lot of other people in that there is a lot of padding in the middle.
    Overall I really enjoyed it though and am excited to see where they take it in the future. Didn't like the
    ending , even though its give them more freedom , the seven second line WTF was that about

    What remains of edith finch

    Brillant game and so short, the only thing that I didn't like was the
    ending , felt it was a bit of a copout. Are we supposed to believe the narrative spun by edie was circumstance? or was there a malevolence associated with the house
