Oh shit, it’s already Saturday… So here’s the WRUP
Thomas: Final Fantasy 12, maybe some PS VR stuff, since the heat finally died down.
Scroo: I really want to finish my new game plus run in The Surge, it's been tough to allocate time in between ranching slimes and stemming an endless tide of vermin. I've picked up Hellblade as well and that's going to be --consuming. I've stayed away from other reviews and videos of the game on purpose and I'm glad that I have. I plan on having a sort of first impression video for LP channel soon. I've resinstalled No Man's Sky in hopes of checking out the Atlas Rises update. And hopefully I'll play some Rocket League with friends should I find a free moment between working and the normal weekend chores.
AJ: This week I became a certified Sonic Maniac, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Cody: Oh it's gonna be Dota, and Rocksmith so I can play sad songs to keep me in place if I somehow do well in a pub match.
Grey: I think i'm just about at the end of everything that had been going for the last while [well, sort of], so: bye quest for glory 3! bye, first bit of etherlords 2! bye, child of light! bye, a mind forever voyaging! i knew ye all well! i have no idea of what i'm going to play next. thinking about taking a stab at stories: path of destinies and doing another run of the microprose version of the magic: the gathering game. but am not sure. [projared is playing it right now and it's made me want to play it, too.]
I’m reminded by Sonic Mania of how very bad I am at playing the old Sonic games. Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, etc were more of my thing.
“the Hitman’s Bodyguard” was surprisingly entertaining.
Hitman’s Bodyguard does look like a fun flick
I bought a used PSVR from a Twitter friend and I’ve spent the entire weekend playing that. A few weeks ago I snagged Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, and I already had Race the Sun, so between those and all the demos on PSN I’ve barely touched anything else. Monday I should receive my copy of Job Simulator, and I’ve got a grocery list of VR games I want to buy now.
I did play about an hour of No Man’s Sky and about the same amount of time went into GTA Online. Oddly enough, VR didn’t really make me feel funny at all except maybe the demo for Drive Club VR, but going back to those traditional games both made my head feel a bit off for a while.
I played some Job Simulator on an Oculus machine a couple months back and it’s still the only VR title I’ve seen first hand. I loved the humor though, I’m sure you’ll have fun with it. I’ve been jumping in and out of No Man’s Sky since the update and I’ve yet to see anything new from my current game. I’m thinking I’ll just try starting a new creative mode game and see what it’s all about.
I haven’t really seen any new stuff in NMS yet either. In my original game I had started a base on a really crappy choice of home worlds, so after dealing with plunging temps and acid rain I decided to just give up and start fresh. I’m eager to see some worlds like I’ve seen pictured on Twitter, with thick lush grass. Some of the creatures do look more different now than I recall.
yeah see I stopped playing before all the base building update and vehicle exploration. I’m not even sure how to get started in that. last i looked I’m still trying to build a power cell for the jump engine to get it recharged. I guess you can buy freighters now and whatnot. I’m still interested
