PS2 Backlog Committee

Yes, I got up to 89.58% completed in 105:20 for the main game. Whoa. Time will tell if I will be inclined to follow suit. Most of the talking parts in this game really turn me off. Aloy has the corny Marvel thing going on now, and almost everyone she meets is annoying. But the rest is really great....

Slitherfangs are pretty cool. First encounter with one was epic.

I'm sure you plantinumed the game, right? How long did it take?

Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Still moving through Horizon. Got a handful of folks at the base and making good progress. It's a beautiful game, and the combat is first-rate. I've also encountered some cool individuals (Hekarro and Kotallo) to co...

Loving Planet of Lana 2 so far. It doesn't stray too far from the original gameplay-wise, but that's fine by me. These games really feel like 2D spiritual successors of the ICO/SotC/TLG games. They do just as amazing a job at conveying a story using a made-up language that they never bother to tran...

I'm interested but won't buy until I learn more. Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Rollin...

I found it pretty good overall. They did simplify some things, removed other things, but then also brought parts of the game up to modern day standards. Probably depends what you loved about the original game...because I don't think you're gonna like the retcon at the very end. Dark Ties was also f...

Oh, I don't remember either part of that. Me either. The last I recall of Phase, he was in a very dark place because his physical and mental issues had made it so he couldn't even play games. Not good. More pleasant news - Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties has been platinum'd! Congrats! How does the re...

Yeah, where is he? :?: I hope he's all right. I fear he sleeps with the fishes and Luca Brasi. Phase, if you're out there, give us a heads up and howdy-do! Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing I've played a decent amount of Forbidden West. There's not...

One thing I recall is the gripe that NPCs gave you hints/suggestions before you even had a chance to look where to go or what to do, and that is 100% true.

That is a dope setup, argyle! What is the thing that looks like a controller on top of the Sharp machine at right?
