Hey everyone,

My bad for forgetting to post a thread last week. Since then I've been continuing to work on Ragnarok and I've started Super Mario Wonder with my wife, and a bit with my daughter. I haven't played too much of Wonder but it really is fantastic so far.

BG3 and Spider-man 2 are next in line and currently on the back burner. I really don't want to have to juggle 4 games at once but I might have to play some Spider-man 2 soon.

Also in the last week I beat Cocoon. All I can say is...play it. It's beautiful, the puzzles are great and ramp in difficulty nicely. I know Playdead didn't make this one, but the comparisons to Limbo and Inside I think are still valid. If you liked those games I would definitely give it a try. I think it's better than Limbo, and on par with Inside. Idk if I can say it's better than Inside, but it's definitely not worse. It's right there with it I think. I can see how some might like Inside more though. I don't want to say too much but as far as character, level, and art design, multiple times while playing I remember asking myself, "How did this come out of someone's mind?" It's so very alien in all the right ways. Give it a go. I beat it in about 3-4 hours and I'm still thinking about the ending and the whole experience and what it all means.

Anyway, what're you all up to this week?

Just finished spider-man 2 and got the rest of the trophies ! Such a fun game all the way through and wasn't too difficult to beat on hard

Wow! Congrats!

How long did it take to get the Platinum?

[–] CopernicusQwark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I got it in 26ish hours on my playthrough, and that wasn't at any great rush.

[–] CopernicusQwark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I got the platinum on the 26th and there was 7% of players with it at that time. It's interesting to note that between then and now, an extra 3% of players have gotten the platinum (according to the PS App).

I do appreciate that Insomniac have platinums in their last few games that are very achievable - no arbitrary or onerous trophies. You can play, have fun, and usually be most of the way to the platinum with minimal fuss.

Beat Death's Door. I thought it was a simple solid game but after discovering and solving more and more secrets after the final boss, I have to give it a higher rating. They're aren't too easy, not too cryptic, and satisfying to solve. It's fantastic.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting. It's on my backlog, will give it a try soon.

[–] breathe@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Arkham Knights because it is included on PS Extra. I immediately hated the damage sponge enemies and switch difficulty to very easy. Not every game needs to have RPG elements.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I love RPG, its my favourite genre, and I 100% agree with you.

[–] 73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Currently pausing BG3 to continue Hogwarts Legacy and enjoy some The Last of Us Part I sessions inbetween.

[–] PBPunch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

BG3 Act III, SpiderMan 2 and Master Detective Archives RainCode.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Alan Wake 2, RE Village dlc

Still have harry Potter waitin on me like homework. Metroid remake and TOTK on the back burner as well.

Stoked about aw2 and the RE dlc!

[–] dave_baksh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Finals beta. It's really fun, especially when nobody really knows what they're doing.

I just got invited to the beta on steam. I thought it was an open beta anyway, but maybe I was wrong. I really want to check it out but I won't have too much time this weekend unfortunately

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I just started Nioh, after finishing Demon's Souls.

I feel Nioh is much more difficult than Demon's Souls. I am still in the starting area, and just reached the first boss after dieing dozens of times.

My original goal was to go back to Dragon Quest XI after Demon's Souls, but I was itching for more action / souls-like games, and Nioh has been on my backlog for a very long time.

Alan wake 2, it's so. Good. If you're into world building, it's one of those games that benefits massively from knowing the universe. There's things in this from 20 years ago.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you play the first one? I never did. If so do you recommend I play the first 1 first?

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Play the first alan wake for sure. If you want the whole experience then also Play Control, if you want the godlike experience go and find a copy of Max Payne and Play that too

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've played all the Max Paynes (super stoked for the remake also). I have Alan Wake Remastered from PS+ and I also haven't started Control yet but I have that too.

Should I play AW before Control?

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's alan wake dlc for control, so yeah probably

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, Interesting. I wasn't aware. Thanks!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can play Control without playing Alan Wake, but the DLC might make more sense if you have played Alan Wake before.

I played it without playing AW, and still enjoyed it, though playing that made me interesting in Alan Wake, before that I wasn't interested in playing it, as I am not a big fan of survivor horror games.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

me neither but with AW2 getting all this good press, I think I might have to plat AW Remastered before control, then alan wake 2.

But that's all after Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, and Sea of Stars. Did I also mention I picked up Returnal recently? ugh, too much fun to be had

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heh, too many game. 😀

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How are the graphics? I’d like to get it but I’m a bit worried about the reports that it renders at like 320p and upscales it using FSR2 with lots of artifacts.

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dont know what resolution it's running at. It looks absolutely fine. If you care about art and visual style, then it's full of it

If pixel counting is in your head, it might not be right for you. I guess just try to enjoy things instead of being worried about that stuff?

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I game on a 77” OLED so if it’s a low resolution it just looks terrible.

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also have a big oled! I even play tg16 games on it. Crazy huh. It's almost like the art is important, not the specs.

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t even play PS4 games anymore after getting a PS5.
