£60 here! loving hell. I'm pretty sure I checked this morning before it got the GOTY rebrand and it was £55. gently caress that.

Edit; checked psprices and I'm mistaken. I really don't remember it being £60 though. That's hosed. The lowest it's ever been is £39.

It doesn't, the Switch version is streamed from cloud gameplay servers. Like PSNow or Stadia, except it's a one-time purchase that supports exactly one game.

Everybody in both film and games has forgotten how to edit.

I felt the same about TLOU2 (which I otherwise liked). I don’t even have a problem with the game feeling like it’s about to end 3 or so times and then continuing for several more hours. The set pieces are good. Riding around on a horse was good. There are just too many regular combat encounters that felt like padding. The characters can never just be somewhere, there always have to be 10 combat encounters on the walk there. The characters can never just walk through a door, the floor always has to crumble into an infected nest or something. I hated trying to walk somewhere, get through half a dozen fights and getting the feeling like the destination was just around the corner, only for the character to say “phew, almost half way there.”

You could probably cut at least 5 hours of fighting generic enemies and lose nothing from that game.

There's like, hours and hours on non combat walking around sections in TLOU 2.

beat amnesia rebirth too. liked it. first frictional games game i've played through since both penumbras. dont quite get what was going on with the story i thought for sure the queen was "rebirthing" herself through tasi, with the increased pregnancy stuff and the vitae but then she just wants to raise the kid in the wasteland? uhh. then again theres lots of the environment and mise en scene to work through, i picked the destroy everything route first thinking tasi could get to the portal in time, because goddamn it you loving could have. ended up replaying the last bit a few times and got 4 variations of the ending. kinda interested to see what happens if you dont take the vitae earlier on but i might just youtube that. also not really sure how and why people were turning into monsters? i get the crew were cos of drinking from the spring water but why did all the people in the dark world turn into monsters? and where did this red flesh come from, is that older amnesia games stuff? also maybe the queen was lying about everything cos it sure seemed that way with her being some resident evil cocoon monster now. not even sure how tasi ended up back at the plane after all that.

anyway, thought early game handle the horror well, the early matches/oil running out sucks but got better and the early horror was 100% due to not knowing anything. the fort was loving insane for me, i thought i was gonna have an heart attack during that entire section, and the section before it in the dark world and i'm half convince my brain was making things up on the shadows, i swear i saw one of the ghouls peek around the corner once as i was sneaking away near the breakable floor section. the only way i got through that without health issues was pumping the gamma up and actually seeing the monsters once it caught me and then put the gamma back down and things went standard horror after that, got used to the jpg jump scares and things went okay, just standard freaky moments, not actual heart pounding terror.

areas i liked are the dark world stuff the later areas with all the weird poo poo going on and the later monsters with the lights were cool. kinda wanted to see more of that place and figure out what went on, they seem to drop off a few things but maybe i missed some files or memories. i liked the area back in the roman ruins where you open a door and theres shiiiiiiiiiiitloads of loving ghouls all sleeping and you have to sneak around them, i casually opened the door and my eyes went wide and i never blinked during that entire section. :eyepop:

i hear soma is better so maybe ill give that a go soonish.

SOMA is a better overall game, though it's going for more subtlety as well. SOMA is more concerned with atmosphere than psychological scare mechanics. It also has one of the best, most cohesive videogame stories of all time...which Rebirth kinda lacks. Rebirth was a great ride tho


SOMA still GOAT. If people liked SOMA but are on the fence about Amnesia Rebirth then I suggest waiting until you can play on PS5 because the load times will be shorter.

The Evil Within 2 is weird, I’m not sure that adding an open world and NPCs was a great idea. It looks much better than the first game and the gameplay is fine, but it feels like it’s lost something atmosphere-wise. The resource scrounging is cool although ammo is even scarcer than the first game. Definitely enjoying it regardless
