Re: Elden Ring Finally Gets Its Gameplay Reveal, Releasing January 2022

Absolutely mind-blowing stuff.
When Geoff was doing it's intro I was expecting to be disappointed, he was REALLY bigging it up.
But the second it started and I realised what was happening, goosebumps from head to toe! 😁
The trailer is phenomenal, utterly perfect and I have no reason to believe the game won't be too.
Miyazaki has never let us down 😊

Re: Hands On: Knockout City - Has The Potential To Be The Next 'Big' Thing

LocalPenguin

Hi praise indeed and certainly not isolated. I've seen a load of similar articles and reviews 😊
I just don't see it though? My friends and I spent a couple hours playing and came away thoroughly unimpressed. Seems like something we'd really enjoy too!
Sorry to sound like a negative nelly. Anyone else out there not feeling it? πŸ€”

Re: The Time Has Arrived, Resident Evil Village Is Out Now On Xbox

LocalPenguin

I've had a pre order down for ages but just recently cancelled it.
I'm super excited for the game, I'm a massive Resi fan, but the sheer volume of awesome Gamepass games right now means I already have so much to play! I have my sensible hat on it seems.
It makes me wonder how often this happens to other Xbox gamers? πŸ€”

Re: Soapbox: Even The Terrible Games Have Some Good In Them

LocalPenguin

On a serious note. I was a MASSIVE fan of the original Lost Planet. Huge.
But when the sequel got panned I decided to skip it. Big mistake.
My friend and I decided to play through it at the very end of the 360's life and boy oh boy did we have fun! With some friends that game is incredibly good

Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Later, I'm Still Not Over The Poison Apple That Ruined My Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Save

LocalPenguin

I have a save horror story that still haunts me to this day.
30+ hours into Tomb Raider The Last Revelation on the Dreamcast.
I was right near the end and just missed a jump. As I was falling to my death, I hit pause seconds before impact and hit Load.
By this point I was very quick at the reload process. Too quick.
Navigating the menu like a speedrunner I hit Save instead of Load.
The horror.
CRUNCH
I loaded my game.
CRUNCH
Again and again I reloaded, hoping for a different outcome. There wasn't one.
All my progress lost and to this day I can't face going back to finally finish it haha
