I will play it when there is a pimp hat. And a matching cane.

Here is an exclusive preview:

Should definitely be a Titan outfit. Plus the walk animation should change to match.

I'm playing the highly frustrating "Try to find a job in the weeks leading up to the holiday shutdown", and I fucking HATE it.

Hmm these simulator games are getting more and more niche!

Hmm these simulator games are getting more and more niche!

And sometimes worryingly realistic!

It’s already on my wish list, but until it actually provides a paycheque, it won’t be getting purchased! LOL

Took me over 90 hours, but I beat trails of cold steel 1. Really enjoyed my time with it. I'd recommend anyone who plays it to take their time and do all the side quests/etc and not just rush through like I did with 3 and 4 ( I played them in a screwed up order).

I'll eventually play 2, but next is god of war ragnarok.

Playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion on Xbox Series X. On chapter 2. Thus far, it’s pretty good but im not a fan of the digital mind wave system and every time you start an enemy encounter, it says entering combat mode or something like that. Almost feels like random battles in a way. But the combat itself is really good. Enjoying it for the most part.

After sleeping on it, I reinstalled The Callisto Protocol and must admit that one feature that I love on Xbox is the free cloud saves. That saved me from having to play through the entire game again. My save was three or so hours away from completion. I literally just finished the game a few minutes ago and the credits are rolling now. Below is my review that I have spoiler tagged. Doesn't reveal plot points or anything like that and is more based on the negatives I had with the combat and gameplay. With the negatives I had, I did enjoy the middle section immensely and do hope for a sequel and that Striking Distance learns from their mistakes and improves upon them.

Spoiler

Overall, it's the visuals and audio that carry the game in my opinion. Story and characters kept me interested but it's nothing special. Combat/gameplay is the weakest aspect of the game, at least for me. Even on easy, the difficulty spikes were bad especially near the end, the dodge mechanic is horrible, takes literally 5+ seconds to heal yourself using a health injector, boss fights were disappointing especially since they repeat and don't change until the very end. The camera is worse than the dodging mechanic because it's just way too fucking close at all times and when fighting the bosses, trying to run which your character barely does (I mean seriously, I can walk faster in reality) and trying to get a good field of view is just a pain the ass.

Below are my ratings for each category and overall rating. I have spoiler tagged this as well because you can obviously see what were the strengths and weaknesses. If you clicked on the spoiler tag above, then you're fine.

Spoiler

Graphics - 10/10 (superb)
Audio - 8.5/10 (great)
Gameplay/Combat - 6.5/10 (above average)
Story/Characters - 7.0/10 (good)
Overall - 8.0/10 (great)

Next Up: Season Ten for The Division 2 and next week, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion.

hey Peter, have you considered writing a games review write-up for some of the games you play on the site?

@Bryank75 is willing to pay you in large hugs, I got my back broken by him for my basement reviews.

I'll let you know. I know I write a lot sometimes but I don't keep notes or anything when playing games. It's all based on memory.

P.S. - I'm a huge fan of AEW even though Khan books dumb shit sometimes.

Yeah, 1 -4 are all available physically on ps4. I just played 1 on ps5, so the load times were nonexistent.

What have you done? What have I done?

Fuck Thank you.



Part 4 currently not available.

What about 0? Would it chronologically be wise to play that first?

From what I've read, trails from zero chronologically takes place before the cold steel games, but I was able to understand the trails games without having played zero yet. I eventually plan on playing that as well, but I've got some other stuff to play first.

After dropping Crisis Core and then trading it in along with The Callisto Protocol, I will get back to God of War Ragnarok so I can wrap it up by January. Then, I will play Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga via Game Pass and may try out High on Life before I play Monster Hunter Rise as I want to check that out before I get to my first new release game of 2023, Dead Space. My gaming schedule is booked through June. lmao
