    Pat PlayedMetroid Dreadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOvefm5U250 I think this is the first Metroid game I have completed. Amazing Boss fights. So much fun to learn. *Got stuck one time*I hate the EMMI. I may not replay because of them. Bad Ass. Samus is really cool in this game.Lore? The Good Lifehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lphgwPJNlO0 It is the Homer Car of games. Too much junk slapped together. Not enough voice acting. Also too much...it isn’t cheesy in a good way.I will keep playing it...maybeGreat Review title from https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-good-life-review “tonally stupid, structurally broken, surprisingly deep and occasionally self-aware”Marvel's Avengershttps://youtu.be/UHHApR_Vj_Q Really average game. Perfect gamepass. Fun story for marvel fans.Kamala Khan is great. Wish she didn't get lost in the 2nd half of the game. Strong end tho. Skin deep game. I would rather have a full game with each single character. Mobility isn't equal. Captain America has a dumb jump and wall run. Everyone else is fly or grapple. End game is loot based. Not a fan. Miles Moraleshttps://youtu.be/NTunTURbyUU More of the same in the best possible way. Really good story. Worth playing. I have replayed most of the first Spider-Man game after beating this. Tris PlayedMetroid DreadEMMI is kind of unpredictable...I can’t get the counters right!I JUST got the Wide Beam. It’s taking a while to get the Morph Ball. Goodness!Super MetroidWanted to play to see what the fuss was about.End result: PLAYING IT MORE THAN METROID DREAD :OI can see why it’s so popular! So many things to do! Sequence breaks aplenty!Castlevania Advance CollectionBit of a throwback from the Game Boy Advance daysSpending time equally on all three games…..though Aria of Sorrow is kinda neglected at the moment.Demon’s Souls RemakeIT’S THE BEES KNEES BATMAN!!!It’s SOOOO good!!Virtually the same game you’ve played from 2009.Items now weigh more in the remake. A few new armors, items and weapons are now present.Multiplayer upped to 6 people.Can further customize your character now, new fractured mode MIRRORS the game world (reverses locations).Shin Megami Tensei VThe official 5th title in the long running franchise. Starting on the Famicom, published by Namco. Demons that you recruit talk a LOT OF ****!BlasphemousVERY good gothic, Spanish influenced Metroidvania.VERY BRUTAL AND GORY. YES PLEASE.Sequel was just announced a while back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.Tris TopicsUnfinished Games - Business as usual? Or just lazy ass developers/publishers?Battlefield 2042 launches on 19 November. Game is in a VERY buggy state. Crashes, missing features that have been standard for the series, the list goes on. Not much word on EA minus they will look into them. https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2021/11/19/battlefield-2042-is-a-total-disaster-and-gamers-are-not-happy/?sh=468269548216https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/qw1mbw/fuck_it_heres_a_list_of_absolutely_everything/ Grand Theft Auto: The Definitive Collection appears to be a lazy, slapdash port. Crashes, bugs, very poor use of AI upscaling, no QA work, developers admitting they don’t care, WHAT IN THE CINNAMON TOAST **** IS THIS?!Nintendo Switch OnlineOverall thoughts? Not worth the $50 bucks total. Can get a refund via Nintendo support.Nintendo 64 games are in worse shape than their Wii U emulated counterparts. Pat TopicsNo replay. Both Village and Dread were great games that I don't want to replay. League games are happening Sam playedGhost of Tsushima· Breathtaking graphics· Smooth game play· Still working on this game but its a top 5 game for meYonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles· Mix between Zelda, animal crossing and Harvest Moon.· No leveling, health or time constraints· No combat· Game of exploration and discovery· Shipwrecked on an island. Farm, cook, and fish.· Island is covered in evil muck. Do missions, find sprites to get rid of the muck· Relaxing version of Zelda Huntdown· Co-op arcade shooter· Easy mode is hard!· If you are a fan of 80’s style retro shooter, get this game· Battle with shotgun, a rocket launcher, an assault rifle · Each boss presents a different challenge· Play as one of 3 bounty hunters – Cyborg Mow man, ex-cop John or mercenary Anna.· Set in the 20th century after WWIII Sam TopicSomething to watch – Ubisoft theme park?· Ubisoft entertainment center coming in 2025 to France· Professional film studio, other entertainment options, retail, and dining· Theme park TBD· https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-entertainment-center-to-open-in-2025-full-theme-park-coming-later
