@AgentCooper Physical for single-player games, digital for multiplayer games as I just can't be bothered constantly switching carts whenever I play with my friends as I always have something else that I'm playing in the game slot.

@nessisonett Only major complaint so far is that the final boss is… like… nothing. Total anti-climax.
Oh, and Cold Hard Crash can eat me. The all-boxes gem in that level is the only one I have left, and it's massively harder than any other challenge in the game. It's silly how much harder it is. I went and grinded lives on the bee level, and I'm just gonna muscle my way through it, but god, it sucks!
But yeah, overall, probably an 8 out of 10 game for me at minimum. I still like the Spyro trilogy more, but this is a really solid platformer.
I didn't like Warped when I played it on PS1 a few years back. We'll see if my feelings have changed at all.

@Ralizah Bosses in 3D platformers often aren’t all that great. The Sonic Adventure 2 bosses are really hit and miss and that’s still probably my favourite non-Mario 3D platformer. Even Mario bosses aren’t great, although I’d say Galaxy’s were at least polished to the point of the 1 hit stars being obtainable.
@nessisonett I'd say Mario Odyssey has strong boss fights overall. Some really, really imaginative encounters in that game. And plenty of variety, even if you do end up fighting a LOT of those stupid rabbit people also.
Actually, Crash 2's other bosses are pretty good as well. Just challenging enough to be fun, but not misery-inducing. I just don't understand why the final boss is the world's most underwhelming jetpack chase lol. Although I suppose it beats the first game's Cortex fight making me want to hurl my Steam Deck out of a window.
Actually just completed the game (all gems/crystals, anyway; the speedruns aren't implemented properly). Kinda disappointed all you get is a 30 second video of you using a laser to shoot Cortex's space station out of orbit.
Still, though, the fact that I actively wanted to do everything is proof enough that this was a rather strong experience. I can see why it's widely regarded as the best of the original trilogy.

Started playing Binary Domain on Series X. Very interesting game made by the Like a Dragon developer. It plays just like Gears of War but it has a larger emphasis on the story than a typical GoW game, kinda like the Like a Dragon titles. It's a very fun game and as there aren't many (good) GoW clones, I'm really enjoying this one. It's also nice to play it with frame-rate boost on the Series X. Can't wait to play more of it soon.

I picked up The Thaumaturge. This seemed like my jam when it was first announced, but I did not enjoy the demo at all and I figured I might hold off on this, as this year is already stacked and my backlog grows by the day.
However, to my surprise, it released to pretty good reviews, and given it was a budget title, I

Yeah, I think that’s what the implication is but there nothing concrete to know for sure. In all honesty, it may well just be Miyazaki being fast and loose with the lore and in terms of details that even he hasn’t got clear in his own head.
As a liverpool fan of a certain age I used to take pleasure of winding my man utd mates up when they lost but it's got too a point now where it's just sad how far they have fallen, absolute disgrace of a team atm
@oliverp Glad you enjoyed Crysis 2, an underrated game imo. I did see the trilogy on sale the other week for £10 on PSN and I was really tempted as I wish to play the trilogy again but i really want the physical version which is still (comparatively) expensive.
I also ended up beating Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 today! Pretty good game, much more user-friendly than Underground 2 but it sacrifices the vibes. This game is the definition of piss filter. Pretty ugly but the cars handle decently. The pursuits are almost fun but border on the frustrating due to tiny mistakes or being unlucky causing you to fail. Decent though in general.
@BeerIsAwesome Belated congratulations on your impressive milestone, both in terms of platinum trophies and the Sonic series. Really hope you enjoyed the endeavour. Here's to Sonic X Shadow in a few months, and what'll hopefully be another 33 years of going fast.

I am looking for a old game's name that i couldn't remember. It was on PSP u were able to change character from some kind of booth. It was combat game. And it's name's short form was 4 letters and there was dots between letters. Please help me.
«8mm» with Nicholas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix and Catherine Keener in what must be the single most thankless role of her career. Joel Schumacher tries to be David Fincher with predictably awful results — what was presumably intended to be a trawl through the darkest recesses of the human psyche ends up being about as insightful in that regard as a WWE promo video. Depressing in all the wrong ways.
There is no hope for you
