Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 289: 7/15/23: Pikmin 4 Edition

Well that sounds terrible :lol: Sorry for costing you $12. Hope I enjoy it more than you did. Yeah, I don’t like it and I won’t be buying games that your buddy recommends anymore. :P But perhaps you’ll think that it’s awesome like he does, because a lot of critics and gamers seem to like it. It all...

Added to backlog: Arcade Paradise (a buddy convinced me this is awesome) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYADeZGTY-M Haha, what in the world? I'm intrigued...you'll have to tell us more as you play. I bought it yesterday, and it’s not very good IMO. The premise is better than the execution. It had ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 289: 7/15/23: Pikmin 4 Edition

I’ve been playing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements, and somewhat enjoying it. I played and finished it several years ago, and got in the mood to play it again. It’s a linear medieval fantasy first person action adventure game with melee combat, and platforming. The story and characters are ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 289: 7/15/23: Pikmin 4 Edition

Did you play the remaster or the original? That's one game I really enjoyed and want to replay at some point, if for no other reason than the Baltimore Ravens armor. :D I played the original on Xbox 360. I really enjoyed it as well back when it came out, but I wasn’t really enjoying it now. The gra...

Re: The Haul Thread 2023

I meant to tell you Phase, I was actually looking into Wanted: Dead earlier this week because it was part of Amazon's Prime Day deals - ultimately passed mainly because it was the special edition that they had on sale and I didn't care about that, would rather wait for a cheaper deal on the normal ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 289: 7/15/23: Pikmin 4 Edition

I got in the mood for an action RPG, and decided to play Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning again. I’ve been somewhat enjoying it, but it’s showing its age now. The gameplay/combat still holds up pretty well, but the graphics don’t look as good as I remember. They still look decent, but definitely PS3/Xb...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 288: 7/8/23: Exoprimal Edition

all I could offer is my own lens on the creation - no "better" or "worse" than another. I know you like "concrete clarity" to be served up on a dish, but life ain't work that way. ;) I was joking about you telling me what the story is about :P, but it’s a video game wi...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 288: 7/8/23: Exoprimal Edition

I have a love/hate relationship with a lot of indie games, they are often charming and creative but also often obtuse when it comes to their storytelling. I like piecing together a story if all of the pieces come together at the end, and you figure out what it was all about. I don’t like when at the...
