Multi Watcha playing?

I've always appreciated his ideas but rarely the execution

My only Kojima experiences have been Snatcher, Twin Snakes, and MGS5.

Loved Snatcher and MGS5, but Twin Snakes suuuuuUUUUUUUCKED.

Snatcher has lived rent-free in my head since I was a teen

Tried it on Game Pass and thought it was complete shit, but I'll say that I've never been the biggest fan of Kojima's style.

I think that being divisive is his angle... Kinda like the Souls games. It's almost like he wants to alienate people that don't like his style, and lean into it more for people that do. It took me years to appreciate MGS, I had the original for PSX and didn't actually complete it until the PS2 era.

It's like he wants to distance himself from other games while still maintaining a familiarity that attracts people. It's a weird way of making games, but, he has definitely carved out his own style over the years.

One thing that I think Kelly will appreciate is all of the nods to other games strewn about the world. I thought it was cool as hell when I crested a hill and saw a Tallneck from Horizon projected on the grasslands.

You'll definitely like the game if you enjoyed those, because they're not as rehashed as some of his other titles. It just might take you some dedication to get beyond the beginning and how much of a slow burn it is.

I've gamed very little over the past month, but have just spent a couple of hours with Clair Obscur, and have finished Act I. Did not see that twist coming at all, and very much makes me want to press on before I go way in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday I started Ghost of Tsushima. I'm about 2 hours in and am enjoying it so far. The first hour was a little bit slow, but once you get into the open world and have more freedom, the game seems to pick up. I'm still trying to get the hang of the combat - I'm only on the medium difficulty but I've died a few times. The skill trees look massive, so I'm sure I'll get tons of new abilities, but it's a bit tricky to pick up at first.

I really like the wayfinding in the game. Although I suspect it will take marginally longer to get around the map, it's much more creative than having a minimap with an arrow pointing the way.

One of my favorite games of all time! Spent quite some time just riding around enjoying the sceneries!

I don't think there's anything I haven't experienced in Breath of the Wild more irritating than rain. It makes traversal via climbing impossible and it ALWAYS seems to show up when I'm trying to get somewhere...

They added another 5 levels to Astro Bot today, so I'll be torturing myself further.

I STILL haven't started this game, and I've had it and all of its DLC installed on my PS4 for probably over a year now. I've heard nothing but great things about it, so, I have no clue what my deal is and why I haven't played it.

Well talking of that series a State of Play for the sequel was today.

The first 4 were fun, but the last one is quite difficult! I'm going to give it another shot later this evening, but there's a lot going on in it.

THPS 3 + 4 remake is out and on Game Pass, so I tried that out for a bit.

Still don't love the changes to 4, but it works reasonably well.

I saw Jill of the Jungle free on GoG a few nights ago and downloaded the whole trilogy. This was a random game my dad had on his computer when I was a kid. Probably not even in my tweens yet. Last night I started it and beat the first game in one sitting in like an hour or something. Good nostalgia kick that was.

Then afterwards I dove down into a weird rabbit hole after googling an address where the game's devs wanted checks mailed if you wanted to buy the game or any of the other ones. Then from there after fuffing around a bit more I noticed a familiar looking name. Tim Sweeney. THE Tim Sweeney. Main man of Epic Games and Unreal Engine. The guy made this game in his early adulthood and here I was somewhat nostalgic about it. Man. Weird as hell.
