Yeah. Played Dread on launch, but have to play Prime 1 remake. Plan to play it soon after Legend of Zelda.

Ooh, good luck!

Oooh nice. I have to play 3 and Genesis before the 4th one come out.

You have also played Sea of Star, right? Is there any thing in the game that give you the idea that it’s the same universe as The Messenger?

Ah, it’s annoying when a game you love change those things in the sequel. Hope rest of the game makes it worth your time.

I played Tomb Raider on PS3 and remember liking it a lot. Though I had only played the first Uncharted by then, so can’t compare it with other similar games. Haven’t played the sequels yet, but they are both on my backlog.

As for the trophies. I used to be a bit of a trophy hunter back then, I worked REALLY hard for them. I recall the quickest way was to play multiplayer PvP alone, and keep collecting stuff. I spent quite a few hours on it, and then calculated that I would need around 20 (don’t remember exact amount) or more hours of doing that, and I just gave up. Have only 2 last trophies left.

This was also the first step of me stop caring about the trophies. Now I only care for them if I am really liking the game, and spending just a tiny bit of time more, or doing some side stuff along the way will help me get the Platinum, otherwise I just ignore them completely.

Good luck for the search for new game.

Nice! I have heard many good things about the game. It’s pretty high on my list.

Good luck! Who are you supporting?

I agree with you, handheld can never compete with a desktop when it comes to raw power. So, if companies don’t consider it as a platform to target for, you’ll always have problem with latest games. Maybe not at launch, but you can’t upgrade a handheld “console” every year or two.

That’s the good thing about consoles, you buy it, and you know (most of) the games that come to the platform will just run on it.

I don’t have a SteamDeck so not sure how it works, but maybe they should make a sub-store for SteamDeck, that only has games that are verified to run on it. They can still have an option to search and download game from full steam store, but it should come as a warning that these games aren’t specifically made / optimized for Deck.

Just thinking out loud. Don’t actually know what SteamDeck owners really want. :-)

Nice! I have yet to play any Metroid Prime game. Plan to play the first remake soon, and hoping for remake of 2 and 3 to follow soon.

You are hyping up Trials and Tribulations for me, would probably end up playing it sooner that I originally planned.

It has been a little while, so don’t remember much about cheap deaths, but I think dieing doesn’t cost you too much, cause I don’t recall any special annoyance with it.

Heh, that sounds great. Well, if you like Astro bot, you can also take a look at Super Mario Odyssey!

Oh no, I was just joking. I don’t think you can lose progress that way.

Good luck with XDefiant.

Cool. Thanks for the info! I am not a big fan of open world survival craft, so going to ignore that one.

Ahan, thanks for the info!

Hehe, no worries. You never know with internet these days. 😀

No tournament this week?

Yeah, drift can be really annoying. Hopefully the next iteration of JoyCon with Switch 2 will be better. There are some rumours to the effect, but we won’t know anything until they officially announce it, and we get them in our hands.

Good luck with Lego HP!

Hmm… I think I can agree that overall it’s weaker than the first one. If it’s the weakest game, then I can hope for a better next game, sound great.

The Messenger is REALLY good. I wasn’t much interested in the game initially, but loved the tight gameplay when I got into it. I finished the game, but didn’t 100% everything. I think it was some collectibles or something, don’t remember. Other than the gameplay, it even has good humour.

Not disturbing a sleeping cat is way more important then getting the name of the game right.

Have fun!

Ah, cool. How are you liking it? It’s on my wish list, maybe once I have played Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations.
