I can’t imagine new players playing the game. I tried getting back in after missing most of the events since the 2nd dlc came out. So much of the story is gone now because they were only part of the event and inaccessible now. Doesn’t even feel like the same game when I went back to it. Tried watching a 2 hour lore video for all the things that happene but that didn’t help.

Might take mine to the movie theater later tonight when I go see Scream. Hopefully tonight I’ll get one street pass. Only person I got from the Mario movie on opening night was my friend next to me.

Gave the game another try after the update and I’m actually enjoying it now. Gotten to the 2nd map and there are a ton of enemies fighting everywhere now. They really did increase the amount of NPCs you see around the map.

Wanted something moody/dark to play during October and this has scratched that itch.

Only played solo but I’d rate it as a 6.5/10 now. The original version would be like a 5/10 to me.

I found gameplay on YouTube and it’s some of the worst looking gameplay I’ve seen in a game for a while lol. The first 4 minutes is all you need to know.

Yup! There was a secret door you had to find in the first mission to continue. It was on the top right side of rectangular room.

There was also a secret GPS you can find in a mission before the desert one. It would let you know exactly where you were in the full desert map so you wouldn’t be lost.

I had so much playing that game.

James Bond 007 was one of my favorite Gameboy games.

I spent countless hours as a 4 year old trying to solve the puzzles and got through it by sheer determination.

I can still probably remember every path in the desert mission.

It’s a shame this game & it’s sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.

Thank god for abandonware websites

Here’s a direct link to the trailer since that website had a full size pop up that wouldn’t close for me on mobile.

I miss my PS4 because you could install a PS2 theme that came with the sounds

Sucks you can’t change it on PS5 yet.

Yeah 2017 model here :/

Entune is the worst Toyota dashboard ever. It’ll randomly crash and reload the dashboard while driving sometimes. (once or twice every 3 months)

Sometimes the updates aren’t even worth it.

Toyota said my prius needed an update so I installed the app for it. All the update did was remove fucking features that were usable in the car. Used to have the option to use Pandora from the console but it got removed randomly by an update.

Then they installed an Alexa search page that glitches my console if I every select it.

Basically I’m saying FUCK TOYOTA

I am really really hopeful for this game to be serviceable.

This was one of the first manga’s I ever read. I remember getting the first shonen jump they released in America, which had this, around then and getting addicted from then on lol.

Glad the comment chain made you want to try it!

I have a feeling Sekiro fans will find more enjoyment in it than I did.

Hopefully you can find the demo if it’s still available somewhere.

Yeah it was the moment when I realized Lies of P reminded me of playing Sekiro when I stopped lol. I’m just disappointed they make you have to parry. Not parrying lead to me getting combo locked during that first carnival boss so many times. Getting hit multiple times without being able to dodge or parry after the first hit was annoying.

Heard that the game has a dodge/roll upgrade a bit farther into it but I just didn’t have it in me to deal with more of the parrying to get that far.

Grateful the game was on gamepass so I was able to check it out before buying it. Hopefully my friend that’s 100% Sekiro will give it a try soon. He might enjoy the combat more than I did. He never dodged in bloodborne but instead stood still and just parry’d the bosses until it worked lol.

I tried the game for a few hours but I just couldn’t get into it.

Something about the dodge mechanic was not feeling right and I hated the overreliance on blocking/parrying. It’s the one mechanic I’ve hated in all soulsborne games and never used when beating the games.

Also noticed how some enemies seem to have their attacks rubberbanded onto you even when you dodge.

Realizing I would have to rely on the parrying for the whole games was what made me finally stop playing today. I just don’t find that fun or enjoyable.

I’m hopeful that they can rework the dodge more, but that was also my hope from playing the demo too and I still don’t like it as it is now in the full game.

Nah this is all we got. It was so infuriating trying to talk about this at launch.

I got constantly talked down to with stuff like “uhh yeah there is a map lol. You can see the whole universe. What more do you need?” or they would say how that shitty topographic map is all you’d need.

It was also funny seeing people say to stop complaining because it’s like morrowind now. They completely missed that morrowind had a fucking local map for the towns too.

I’ll have to try there again. It’s definitely worth going through the traffic for it.

I’ve been so unlucky finding them. Each time I go to an Asian market they never have any Longan or lychee available lol.

Hopefully I can find some this week

Earthbound did that thing with the final boss. A pirated copy would have more enemies on the screen and it would also crash before the final boss

Game dev tycoon had a thing were the pirated version of the game would be harder as it was coded that pirates would steal the games you make. I thought that last one was absolutely genius lol. You can now toggle the pirate mode in the settings to experience it yourself.

Holy crap. I’ve barely even justified to myself paying for the last year of ps+ premium because I would rarely turn on my PS5 unless I was playing Fortnite with friends.

My subscription ends in a few weeks and I’m never fucking paying for ps+ again. This price increase is crazy.
