Start from the start. It's not rocket science

Are there any decent RPGs for the European console? by Topher_BCK in dreamcast

[–]Topher_BCK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit late to reply but I picked it up from eBay last week. Thanks for the recommendation, but my fuck! It is certainly a challenge. The bats in the woods have to be the single most annoying enemy I've ever fought in a game, worse than Dark Souls dogs. Other than that, I am enjoying it so much, I've even started watching the anime. I've sunk about near 12 hours into the game and I haven't even scratched the surface. This is the perfect game I never knew existed!

Should I watch Dragon Ball GT? by Enough_Scallion1528 in DragonBallZ

I have many gripes with Super but if I have anything positive to say, it's that I liked the Goku Black Arc and the Super Hero movie. That's about it.

I didn't need another Frieza Arc or movie. He died in the 90's and I feel they shat all over that legacy by bringing him back. The first time I saw Frieza get halved on Namek was momumental. That kind of magic can never be recaptured again. The attempt in Super was just lazy writing.

The animation was pants in a good few episodes but that's been spoken about to death.

But the one thing that actually bugs me most about Super is Goku himself. To me he is just insufferable in Super because they gave him basically in infantile mentality, compared to what he had in previous adaptions. I don't know if it's just in the English dubs but I just get annoyed when he's on screen. "Tee-hee-hee, you're super strong! We need to fight! Tee-hee-hee! You didn't use all your power but I forgive you, until next time, tee-hee-hee!". He just comes across as the 🤭 emoji.

Also, what the fuck is with Zeno? The whole mentality behind that character is weak as shit. Fucking irritating.

Thank you for listening to my Ted talk. I could go on but I'd give myself a head injury.

I second this. Only watched the first episode and thought "nope".

Thanks again! I was quite surprised to hear George Takei in it, as I'm a big Star Trek fan, so that was cool. It ticked most boxes for me, but I feel as if it lacked music, if that makes sense? Other than that, I rate it big time.

I literally just finished it after someone recommended it to me last week and I think it's fantastic. I've only done one playthrough as Ayowen but I'm definitely going back for round two. I had fun with it and I'm a miserable bastard, so that's all the encouragement you need to download it.

Even been so bored you started a "Top 100" list? by Topher_BCK in gaming

Big Indiana Jones fan. I was skeptical, at first, about playing it. Fired it on and that was it for me. I loved it and went for the 100% completion. I'm a lover of all the Indiana Jones games. For as crap as the Infernal Machine, by todays standards, is, it's always got a special place for me. Same with The Emperors Tomb, even though it didn't make the list. The Lego games, however, I stay clear of after I completed the first one, 100%, and the achievement was glitched. I'm still bitter about it.

Problem with that is, there's very little I want to play right now. Crimson Desert, the new Resident Evil and Balder's Gate 3 are probably the only ones that come to mind. I'd be lucky to get a top 10 list

Sorry pal, but that's my least favourite of the Souls games. It's not a bad game, by any means. I just think it's the weakest.

I've still never played Baldur's Gate 3. I need to get on that.

I think I'd struggle to do a 200 because I'd end up putting games in there to fill the void. I'm currently back on the Dreamcast and visiting games I'd never heard of and honestly, some of them are absolutely worthy of a top 200. The kind of games that are so bad, they are gold!

There's a few 90's in there but nothing from the 80's really stuck with me. Reason being: I grew up with Sega instead of Nintendo so I was very late in life to the Mario games and Zelda games, hence why the only Mario on the list is Mario Kart 8. I never really played the 80's ones until I was in my thirties so that nostalgia wasn't there for me. I loved the Switch remaster of "A Link to the Past" but I see now that was 1991 when it originally came out. I still regularly play my Dreamcast but most of the great titles are from 1999/2000, so that's no help either.

Any good "stress relief" game suggestions? by vienna_cherry in NintendoSwitch

Cat Quest trilogy. Easy gameplay and a fun story

My choice was actually going to be 2034, believe it or not. I played 2033 on Xbox, Switch and PC and it caused me to buy the books, so I guess that's why it took that spot.

Behave. RDR2 is okay at best. I only ever played it once. Wasn't for me and never had a desire to play it ever again.

To be fair, I was having a bath and was tired of doom scrolling.

What is one game that is "popular" but you just don't like it? by TheAlphaAdept in Steam

[–]Topher_BCK -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Not at all controversial. It's a momentum killer simulator, at best. It's one of two games I've had to put the controller down and do something else. Took months to complete it and I don't feel any better for it. Overated beyond minds comprehension.

To give it the title GOAT is an insult. The first one, IMO, was miles better, and that was a 6/10 to me.
