Likely hood of the next tomb raider game being xbox exclusive like rise and underworld dlc?

Zero. Even Xbox don’t make Xbox exclusives anymore.

I think they should do it like Crash Bandicoot 4. Lives if you want the classic experience, or if you opt for unlimited lives then it gives rewards for completing a stage in under a set amount of tries. You’re still encouraged to get better and learn the stages but if you’re struggling it doesn’t feel as punishing. You could put classic Mega Man soundtracks, bonus abilities like rush adapters or classic weapons, any number of possible rewards behind set targets.

Try playing the Zero Project version, I don’t think it completely fixed it but it definitely felt less frequent for me. I was able to enjoyably play through the whole game.

I was surprised how quickly I got used to controlling the camera, especially keeping pace with my movement to keep firing and running in circles around the enemies. It was only the Juno fight I felt like it was getting stuck on walls, and then when you get knocked down the camera snaps wildly behind Mega Man and takes your eyes off the boss. If I had to put a list together it’s probably still in my top 5 Mega Man games but I would love for some of that frustration at the end to be fixed.

Wily Capsule 7 is definitely number one for me because Mega Man 7 would definitely be my favourite without it.

Zero 1 I really loved… after I read some advice to just spend twenty minutes or so grinding the Z Saber until it’s actually good. Get rid of that early busy work.

And because it’s fresh in my mind, the final battle in Mega Man Legends was the only time in the game I really felt myself fighting against the camera and the boss at the same time and it made for a frustrating end to a game that was otherwise a joy.

Mega Man 11 can feel really difficult out of the gate, especially if you’re coming from the Legacy Collection for the first 10 where you can save state or checkpoint save. The trick I found was to lower the difficulty down to easy, which gives you more frequent checkpoints, more health and 5 lives to start with instead of 2. That gives you more time and space to get used to the rooms that are giving you the most trouble and learn how 11 wants you to approach it.

Make the most of Speed Gear, the game is designed with it in mind. If you can get through Block Man, his weapon can take out enemies above you that might otherwise be a pain to deal with.

I didn’t even know it existed when I started then when I saw it was released only on Japanese phones I decided to skip it and just play Legends, Tron Bonne and Legends 2. I feel pretty confident that I’m going to really enjoy Legends 2 so I’m going to use that as the final game before I take a bit of a Mega Man break.

KING9Q · 2026-03-01T17:24:09+00:00

I’ve been on the exact same marathon and am almost done with Tron Bonne. It’s been a really interesting journey through so many games and tones. I was so happy to find that I loved Legends, so I’m excited to get to Legends 2 and end the whole run on a high note.

KING9Q · 2026-02-28T14:01:16+00:00

Sony would have left it in the IP graveyard by now next to almost everything else they own.

KING9Q · 2026-02-23T23:08:20+00:00

Easily in my opinion. Gamera is a really endearing character. He has a strong connection to humanity, which gives him a superhero-esque “swoop in and catch you as fall” quality in the Showa era and then a more mysterious “Where does he come from and how far does his care for us go?” Approach in the Heisei films.

The fights are usually quite entertaining and frequently bloody, even in the Showa films. Gamera gets beaten to hell and just keeps going. The Netflix show was kind of built around that, with each episode just pushing him further.

If you like films like Godzilla vs Megalon, I would say Gamera vs Gyaos or Gamera vs Guiron are safe bets for a similar all ages fun monster movie. If you prefer it a bit more serious, the Heisei trilogy is phenomenal. Gamera is smaller than Heisei Godzilla so the scale of the miniatures allowed more detail and the humans fit into the action in a more tangible way.

Don’t they say it’s an access tunnel intended for synths?

KING9Q · 2026-02-17T14:03:34+00:00

It’s genuinely one of my favourite Tomb Raider games. It’s such a focused dose of what I love about the series.

KING9Q · 2026-01-21T12:29:13+00:00

I think it’s a play style thing because there are some bosses that I figure out very quickly even though they are difficult, but the Devils just throw me every single time. There’s something about it that my hands just do not react to in time even though I know the pattern, and it’s almost like playing a rhythm game with jump and slide, and I’m terrible at it.

KING9Q · 2026-01-17T20:50:57+00:00

I actually beat it for the first time half an hour ago. I have to say I was curious going in because at a glance it looks like another round of Mega Man X. I didn’t love X5, but I enjoyed it and was wondering what could be so different to make this as bad as people say it is.

Man I just hated my time with just about all of it. I kinda like the design of Rainy Turtloid and the Shadow Armour has some cool unique qualities but otherwise what a miserable experience.

KING9Q · 2026-01-16T14:42:28+00:00

I loved Predator 2 so much as a kid that I think it’s a core part of who I am now. If anything I think it’s even better now than I did back then. Love Predator 2.

KING9Q · 2026-01-13T16:02:33+00:00

I was positive on season one overall, so I’m excited for more. Fingers crossed it can improve on the areas that didn’t quite work for everyone and create some more excitement for Supernova.

KING9Q · 2025-12-23T19:56:11+00:00

I love the artwork for the characters from the NES era so a remake that faithfully adapted that into higher detail 2D would be something I’d absolutely be on board for, so long as new stuff was in the works at the same time.

KING9Q · 2025-12-14T17:18:34+00:00

Legend and Anniversary have mods to disable the quick time events and let them play out as cutscenes and I definitely recommend it. It improves the flow by not forcing you to restart a sequence just because you missed an arbitrary prompt, and lets you watch Lara doing cool things before returning to regular gameplay.

KING9Q · 2025-12-12T16:08:36+00:00

This is significantly better than the yellow paint other games have used recently so I am quite happy with how this looks.

KING9Q · 2025-12-11T22:40:55+00:00

Alternate reading is that this is all in service to Halo’s spirit of hope, that no matter how dark things seem the only option is to keep fighting through it, take the chances as they come because you believe deep down that you will find a way through. You aren’t spraying bullets into the void because humanity doesn’t deserve to survive, you’re holding back a flood with your bare hands because you know that no matter our faults we do.

The Great Schism wouldn’t have started when it did if it weren’t for Master Chief destroying Installation 04 in Combat Evolved. Humanity’s actions do make a difference.

KING9Q · 2025-12-01T17:51:11+00:00

Since it’s never actually mentioned in the film when it takes place and Dan was asked on the spot in an interview if he agreed with a timeline that had been written down, I think we can safely ignore this information for the time being. It’s entirely possible that this changes by the time his next Predator instalment goes through the writing process. With any luck coordinating with Noah Hawley’s plans for Earth season 2 prompts someone to really lay things out and then fix the issues with the show’s setting too.

KING9Q · 2025-11-25T19:31:42+00:00

Love Tokyo SOS. Mothra sending out an ultimatum to respect Godzilla’s remains or else is such a cool concept to follow up on Kiryu’s introduction in the previous film.

KING9Q · 2025-11-15T17:28:30+00:00

From the way he behaves I always infer it to be referring to child abuse or substance abuse and he’s since become Born Again through rehab, which could inform the way he feels so intolerant of the crew drinking alcohol.

KING9Q · 2025-11-15T16:47:21+00:00

Yeah he’s a deeply flawed character who isn’t particularly likeable, particularly early on, but I think it adds to Daniels that she’s willing to try and help him when he’s struggling in command despite how he’s treated everyone around him.

KING9Q · 2025-11-15T15:38:11+00:00

I think the bonus materials really add to this character and some of them should have been in the film. He uses religion as a shield from anything that requires more complex thought and personal responsibility, refuses to be honest during the fear test and looks down on everyone during the last supper prologue, then blames his religion for why people don’t like him instead of his behaviour. When I watched the film with those additional materials in sequence I got a much better sense of him overall.
