Platinum #159 & Trophy #8000- Uncharted: The Lost Legacy [PS4]
Yay double platinum day for me! I intended on making this my 8000th trophy milestone for a while now given how I’ve been doing it for Naughty Dog games but it really was another excellent entry in the brilliant Uncharted series. About half as long as Uncharted 4 but I still really felt like I got to know returning characters Chloe and Nadine very well, and was especially glad to see Chloe again given her absence from Uncharted 4. But even Sam was great and I had a great time. Now I want another game with Charlie Cutter voiced by Graham MacTavish again. Next milestone plat is going to be, of course, The Last of Us Part II sometime next year and spoiler alert I really liked that game on my first playthrough back in 2020 so I’m looking forward to playing it again at 60fps!-

Well done Big Weeb.
Another platinum chomping to bits? That's fine. Ah yes, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. The game itself isn't too bad and I love treasure hunt games especially this one. It maybe short but it is still a great game nonetheless. I never strike you the type on treasure hunt games. At any rate, I would love to see more of you continuing on Uncharted Game series.

Platinum #158- Stray [PS4]
Why on Earth did it take me so long to get around to this? A short and sweet mystery/ puzzle game crafted with great love and care. Plus I love cats. Cute and heartbreaking all at once. Absolutely adored this, definitely making my Top 10 this year.- Show previous comments 5 more

Great job Big Weeb.
I have heard a little about Stray and I think I'll give that game a chance when the time comes. Actually, I wanna ask you something. Your getting Resident Evil 4 Remake right? I was thinking I would do the entired collection From 1-8 and complete the Resident Evil Series platinum collection lol.

@Alice Hiiragi well since the original Resident Evil 4 is in my Top 10 games of all time, I’ll certainly be getting the remake! All the trailers look phenomenal! Yes that’s what I’ve done too, except for Code Veronica X because I hate that game lol
-
Finally got around to beating Stray…
Why am I crying??? 😭

Two concert nights out in a row- Nightwish on Wednesday and Sigrid last night- is a great experience but also murder on your back the next morning when you’re 31. Gonna be spending most of this weekend lying in bed with my Switch suspended above my face, hopefully I don’t drop it on myself like I do so often with my phone
-
Every game going forward should have a 60fps option even if it means 1080p resolution or reduced graphical features as a sacrifice, for me it is worth it. Like all of you I too grew up playing games at 30fps or less but times have changed.

The new Pokémon games run like dog poop, that much everybody knows. They’re also incredibly fun. Unpopular opinion but I’ve greatly enjoyed every single mainline Pokemon game from Red to Sword. Legends Arceus was an interesting new take as a spinoff and is, imo at least, better than the new duo, but leaving aside the fact that their performance is complete butt they’re mechanically the best mainline games in a long time. They’re all going to make my Top 10 this year.

@CelestialRequiem Pokemon Colosseum and XD: Gales of Darkness were great. I actually kinda liked how difficult it was to get a full national dex during that gen, and those games were pretty much necessities for Ho-Oh and Lugia. And speaking of difficult, I remember those Gamecube games being pretty challenging for Pokemon titles, especially Colosseum. It's a pity those home console Pokemon spin-offs/side games died, I was insanely disappointed that they just went back and made another Stadium essentially with the Wii game.
I'm not sure if Game Freak necessarily even wants to work on Pokemon any more in more recent years (or at least not devote 100% of their careers to the games anyway), given all the side project games they've worked on. It's a pity they seem to be chained to it - and obviously these games require far more time than The Pokemon Company/Nintendo is allowing. It's weird to think there's been 3 Pokemon games within a span of 12 months: The Diamond/Pearl Remakes, Legends Arceus and now Scarlet/Violet. We don't need that many games in one series in such a short time period, but this franchise basically prints money so I guess it's too enticing to NOT inevitably rush another game out the door within the next 12 months.

Just cleared the story of God of War: Ragnarok. Before it released, there were a few goobers deriding it as DLC for the 2018 game. Ironically, Ragnarok makes its predecessor look like a tech demo in comparison and I never thought I would say that given how much I loved that game. Everything is bigger, bolder and overall better. I had done quite a lot of the side content before finishing the story so I haven’t a huge amount of cleaning up to do now either. May take a break to focus on clearing some other games but I’ll be back soon enough. Sony Santa Monica truly hit this out of the park and is without a doubt my GotY of 2022 and perhaps my favourite PS4 game, usurping it’s predecessor.
-
These new Pokémon games were NOT ready for release; so much slowdown, pop-in, pixelation, still no voice acting etc. This needed another six months to a year, plus the Switch is a fossil now, an upgraded model is desperately needed. Shame because I’m liking a lot of the new ideas these games are bringing.

@enaysoft Don't know if I'd go as far as to lump Nintendo as a whole into that since this has generally been more of a Pokémon-specific problem, but I agree that it's rather sad regardless. Just wish that they'd give the games more time in the oven, and perhaps give Game Freak additional help and a higher budget if manpower and budgeting are issues as well.
-
Yeah I agree, I don't want to do that eiither, but there's also shoddy games on the Nintendo store front now, and this isn't the first time stuff on NIntendo has been badly optimised and fixed later.
Sure Nintendo are no where near as bad as any one else. But it's sad that even the immortal Nintendo Seal Of Quality, the final bastion of gaming quality, even they are under threat of just lowering the standards.
This is a main line Nintendo game, so I don't really know what the excuse can be since quite literally playtesting the game, these problems are obviously apparent..
-
@enaysoft The "excuse" is that the Pokémon games now exist to sell merch first (where most of the money is to be made), and then make money themselves second. Which sucks, because it means that the games are stuck in this perpetual limbo that they can't get out of, and where The Pokémon Company (Nintendo included) can't even afford to so much as delay the games out of fear of losing millions (or even billions) of dollars in merch sales because they plan the games around the merch instead of the other way around. Thankfully other franchises don't have to worry about anything of this magnitude, but regrettably Pokémon does because it's insanely marketable, known the world over, and the merch sells like crazy.
-
Wakanda Forever was pretty ballin’, definitely the best MCU Phase Four film (though that may not be the highest bar) and goes two-for-two in the sub-series in having a great villain. Touching tribute to the late great Chadwick Boseman. Looking forward to seeing how they further develop these characters and plot line in the future
-
i heard it was very average. I wouldn't have continued without Boseman tbh.
But until Secret Wars happen i will be waiting for 4K releases of them and watching them on home media. Still blows my mind that theatres arent even looking into 4K screens, even if just one room like IMAX and 3D normally are.
-
I saw it yesterday, easily the best of the current crop. A quite emotional experience tbh and I thought they handled it incredibly well. I think their love for him and grief at his loss came through in their performances. Shuri's final scene at the beach in particular was incredibly intense.
A fitting send off

RIP Kevin Conroy. Might play some Arkham today in his honour.

Ordered Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle from Limited Run Games even though I have the platinum trophies for them all, just think it will be cool to have them all on physical disc.
Meanwhile, had a crappy “week” (I only do three days this year) at work because a colleague is suddenly not too happy about how I am doing my job and rather than tell me herself she went crying to the vice principal. It was all quickly resolved but it put me in a crap mood that I didn’t need. Thankfully, God of War: Ragnarok is meeting all my expectations and then some so I’m not at a total loss.
-
Few consoles have been absolute must-buys in their first 2-3 years given how long it takes for developers to get used to the capabilities of the machines a build up a massive catalogue of games. I got one because I wanted one. It runs many previous gen games better which alone made it worthwhile as a backwards compatible machine too. It’s up to the individual person to decide if it is worth it for themselves, if they failed to take the pros and cons into consideration before making an impulsive purchase then that’s entirely on them. None of that makes the PS5 a “flop” in any way, shape or form.
-
OP either has a serious humiliation kink or just trolling because this is the dumbest thing I’ve seen outside of Twitter since the Musk takeover 🤣🤣🤣
-
The blessing of the gods is upon me on this day delivered a day early as I had hoped. My most anticipated game since I played the previous one. Hoping it is just as good as the reviews say. See you all in Valhalla, fellow gods of war!
PS I also ordered the special edition PS5 controller but I guess that will arrive tomorrow!

ok cool
