The Videogames Tab

I should add that I earned the Blade of Fire technique last night. Maybe it was the night before? Dang. Have I already posted that?? Anyway, I turned the difficulty back down to whatever "normal" is and I sliced through the guy like warm buddah.

I'm playing two games at the moment,

One is a personal project as I'm hoping to do a historical write-up of it: Final Fantasy III.

The other is this,


I'm playing Super Mario RPG every Monday with a friend of mine. We've been playing games every Monday during this whole lockdown time. How we do this via COVID is to call each other up, start up the game, and then touch base over a convo of the wheres-abouts of where we are in gameplay. So far it's worked out nicely and it's kept us from getting too much cabin fever. Never played SM RPG before, and I'm glad I suggested to try this game out... it's surprisingly smooth, artistic, and entertaining! Definitely recommend.

omg i deff gonna get that

Moving on to Little Nightmares 2 after finishing Last Campfire (which got pretty tiresome by the end), and it definitely feels more like Limbo so far than the first one. It still has unique style though.

The artwork of Little Nightmares implies something cute, with a spooky vibe. What's that about? Yeah, I could just goto YouTube, but I'd rather hear opinions

Slightly on topic, does anyone play horror-themed games? I've never been able to. The closest is maybe Bioshock. I tried F.E.A.R. once, but that tripped me out a bit. I could never get into Resident Evil, either. I totally get those of you laughing at this point, but it is what it is. I don't care for the then famous jump-scares. Concepts are great. Atmosphere, cool. Horror. Alrighty! But jump scares feel cheap and I hate the adrenalin bursting sensations when they occur. For that, I usually don't explore the genre.

HOooooooooowEVER!
I saw a title last night on the PS4 store that got my attention. A few video clips show it to have an atmosphere of Demon Souls? ish? But darker? It's called ....ah crap. I forgot... It's got an "O" in the one-word title that's shaped like a sideways shark jaw. Not Lore. oh. Agony.

Anyone play Agony on PS4? Or anything similar?

I'm worse than you in this regard then. Meaning, I play Minecraft on Peaceful, and I hesitate to enter Skull Cavern in Stardew Valley unless I've got the best sword the game offers and it's not dark outside here at my house.

Anyone with a PS5:
Can you tell me if the streaming app menu is customizable, static, or if Sony randomly moves and changes your streaming app menus for no apparent good reason like it does on the PS4?


That may be the one thing that I truly hate on this thing. I pay for a few services. Those should be priority. If not for that, then for the fact that they are my most used apps. If not for that, then at least because these apps are actually installed rather than randomly throwing up app icons into my menu that----takes a moment to calm myself---THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN INSTALLED!!!!

So, played Portal. Didn't finish it. I think I got to level 12 before calling it quits. The game is just too repetitive for my liking, but the puzzles were a lot easier than I remember.

EDIT: Never mind.

awwwe no fair! what was the nevermind!?


I respect that you played through 12 levels. That'll do, MonnoM. That'll do. Just watch a youtube video for the final level and be done with it. Thanks for posting the update!

I just asked a question about Xbox Game Pass. I got my answer elsewhere. Now I'm just wondering if I have to have a microsoft store account to use it. I'll find out soon enough.

Ha, I already did. The second I quit I looked up the ending on youtube. Have to say I was a little underwhelmed.

Fair enough and I can't fault you for not liking stuff. You gave it more attention than probably anyone else with similar feelings would have bothered to.

....now whadaboutportal2??? hmmmmmm?
lol


Maybe that's another youtube option, to at least hear all of J.K. Simmons' lines. Especially the lemonade one.

im excited to get life is strange true colors and life is strange remastered collection. loved life is strange game series

I don't play Valheim but I can still find this video hilarious, right?

Started playing The Outer Worlds. It's giving me serious Fallout/Mass Effect vibes and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

mass effect is releasing legendary edition with all 3 mass effect games
