Kept the PS3 plugged in today. Was in the mood for more Konami, high budget, high concept, story/mood focused games. So I played through the port of Metal Gear from MSX. Gonna play through all these games again too. Its so funny how bare bones the script is compared to Solid.

I played through Cult of the Lamb and found it pretty fun! The character and charm of this is off the charts. Really nice sound design and music too. Pretty straight forward game that might turn people on to more roguelikes.
Again we made loads of good decisions and picked skill checks until at the end we lost two characters due to them not passing some personality trait checks. Really frustrating. We did very well besides that.

This game is perfect. It doesnt replace the original, just gives you an alternate. All the additions and changes are fun and worthwhile. The graphics and mechanics are outstanding. The new stalker Mr. X terrifying. The production value top notch. How you can dismember the zombies limb by limb... So many opportunities for emergent gameplay. It rules.
2001
We ran through Silent Hill 2 last night and this morning. Really liked it, no cheap jump scares just very atmospheric. Also played the Maria subscenario, which was short but very eerie too. Looking forward to playing 3 next.
2002
I have played through this so many times now, even focusing on speedruns. This game is just perfect, the atmosphere, the presentation, the environmental storytelling, the challenge, the multiple ways to approach every problem. Its a tight game that you can play over and over and enjoy forever!
2003
Silent Hill 3 done. I really liked this one, fun scenarios. Didnt really find any a dud, also Heather is a really fun protagonist. Like how it all rewards and follows on from the first game.
The mechanics are dated and it plays a bit sluggish but the story is really enjoyable and well written. And although it plays like a tank the design and the character of the game really shines through.
1998
I find the music and presentation and characters just so thrilling. It really elevates a pretty ok platform game for me. Bought the game again and played all the stories just so I could play that 2 min Super Sonic stage again... Those endings with the power and the sonic rock music really just give me a thrill and take me all the way back. Thanks to my friend for playing 1 and half Knuckles stages, really needed that help. lol
1986
One of the most relaxing games ever lol. Storming the castle with Simon. What a great game though, such intense challenge, great music, (frustrating platforming haha), monster design, clever and different bosses. Great fun
2022
Really fun from start to finish. It is kind of janked up and a bit unpolished but its the best Sonic game in years and years. I am super excited for future editions I really like how they reformatted the formula. Very fun and engaging. Absolutely shocked that it was only made by 60 people. So I am very forgiving of some parts. None of it stopped it being FUN. It feels like the first time you really had control over sonic since Adventure 2. He is more like a character than a car. All the people that perceive the finicky control as full on jank are missing that it allows you to make choices in the direction he is moving (very quickly). It is super messy, but I love it being less automated. There are so many movement options in the open zones I think people are going to discover and work out how to do crazy, crazy things.
I still have a lot of time for this. I still have a lot of time for the music (same composer as Frontiers). I still think this should have been Shadows only game lol. As I said this is a game where it feels you control Sonic as a character, not as a car.
Ending made me cry again like it did fucking over 20 years ago lol. Excited to play Lunatea's Veil next and if im feeling quirky I will hunt out the GBA games.
Never played this one. They used a lot of these ideas again in 3D in the next game! Which is to say this game has loads of really cool stuff. Im ngl. I am very excited to replay MGS next
2005
still really like the classic God of War games. Love these sort of adventure/character action games. Very different tone to how the new ones are but the action here and combo chains are still kinda unbeaten.
