Gear.Club Unlimited 2.
First one was a mobile port but this one is exclusive to the system. Only played a few races. It looks decent for the hardware. It plays ok but I feel there is sometimes too many turns and turning in this game isn't the easiest. Tho later cars have much better handling. I can upgrade the cars. This is not going to challenge Forza in any facet anytime soon but if you want a more realistic looking racer on the system this is an option. I know there are others on it and others coming but not all are physical. Not played any other racer on the system that aims for a more realistic look. I'm more excited for Xenon Racer.
Also played some Burning Rangers today.
Might play some Onrush on PS4 later.
MONSTER BOY!

Tried to play NHL hockey on xbox a bit ago, but there's a 27 GB update that needs to download. I last played it like 2 or 3 days ago, what the heck. F1 2018 required an update yesterday, but at least it was a small one that only took a few minutes. I just really hate this crap with the modern consoles. Anyway, that's why I'm dicking around on sega-16 now, hahaha.
This past week I played through the main story modes of Tekken 7 and Soul Calibur 6, and those were both a lot of fun. And both still have a lot more to offer in offline content, so I'm not done with them yet.
For a few weeks, I was playing Red Dead 2. It's definitely a great game, I just kind of hit the wall with it for now. In the main story, I'm somewhere in either chapter 4 or 5, but honestly I spend most of my time going off and doing my own thing like hunting, fishing, robbing, getting into side missions, et cetera. The game has tons to do, and is so interactive. If something gets out of hand, it doesn't take long for an entire posse to start hunting me down. Lots of fun, it's just that the main story is kind of meh to me. I loved the story in the first Red Dead Redemption, but this one just hasn't clicked with me. The rest of the world more than makes up for it though.
Finally, Star Wars Rebel Assault for the 3do just arrived in the mail today, and I'll be firing that up soon. I played this game a ton on PC at my buddy's house as a kid in the early 90s, and loved it. I picked up a copy for the Sega CD about 10 years ago, and while it was playable, it just isn't very good. I played through it once, and dont think I've touched it since. I recently found out it was released for 3do, and decided to pick up a copy from ebay. Hopefully it'll be just as great as the original PC version.
That was basically my experience, too. My tiny brain was totally blown by Rebel Assault on my friend’s computer, so when I got a PlayStation a few years later, that was one of the first games I picked up. And it’s sequel. And Dark Forces.Quote:

I didn't realize Rebel Assault was ported to the Playstation. I missed that one. I played the sequel on the PS, but I didn't think it was as good as the first game.
The reason I didnt like the Sega CD version of the game was mostly because of the controls. The ship just controlled terribly. If I recall, you had to kind of hold left and down together or right and down together to get the ship to turn slightly right or left. It was bizarre. And rather slow and unresponsive. Plus, the graphics were a pixellated mess. The 3do version should at least allay the graphical issue, but I hope the controls are better. I haven't started it yet. I'll play it this weekend.
Now that you mention it... I don’t know if I did get the first RA on the PlayStation. I knew I had the second one, so I just assumed I had the original. I’ll look into it
Prof, your thinking was correct, I was mis-remembering. I only had Rebel Assault II on the PlayStation.
Tried out Knights of the Round and halfway into that. I beat Armored Warriors on the Capcom Belt Action Collection.
They should do a collection like this of Fighting games on the CPS III system. That way Red Earth would finally come to home consoles.
Shikhondo: Soul Eater
Very stylish vertical shmup. My main issue is that when you die the menu pops up so fast,you're still holding the analog stick up and so the continue and exit are so close together so if like me you want to continue fast, you may accidentally pick exit and lose all your progress. They need to put in a "Are you sure you want to exit the game" thing in there. Budget game or not, this is a big flaw to me. Overall I'm liking it,2 stages in. They game has classic Japanese paintings as the backgrounds and enemies. The bosses so far have been anime demon girls. One of them bent over with her tits hanging down. That one took me by surprise as this isn't some fetish game. She does turn into some demon with a wolf vagina....maybe it is a fetish game....um... Japan can be weird. Outside of that one boss, everything has been mostly what you expect out of that classic Japanese painting style of backgrounds and Demons.
For the record, Rebel Assault is great on the 3do, blows the Sega CD version away. The graphics are crisp and clear like the PC original, it includes all the levels, and most importantly, the controls are much better than the Sega CD. They seem a little twitchy at first, but that just means extremely responsive and you get used to them quick. It's flight stick compatible, but I dont have one. There are so many flight and space shooter games on 3do that I'd like to get one, but I think they're rare and pricey.
Edit: I freaking hate the levels that require you to dodge asteroids and shoot ships at the same time. Oh, my gosh do I hate those levels. You can shoot the ice asteroids, but not the rock ones. It's rail shooter style, so you have limited movement, and there's crap everywhere. The whole thing is a very frustrating exercise. But other than that, I really like the game.
Psyvariar Delta PS4 version. Finally starting to get a grip on buzzing effectively which is a good thing, never put enough time into the blurry-ass PS2 version BITD. Now it's starting to really click.
I was playing around with the Psykyo collections on my recently acquired Switch as well, but they have some hella input lag going on TBH.
Ok,what the fuck is going on? Dispatch games are a bunch of scamming fucks. They promised the physical game would ship in the summer,then said October 31st. Nothing. I ask them. They tell me November 20th. Nothing. I ask them again. They say within the next week. Over 2 weeks later nothing. MOTHERFUCKERS! The game is out and they are not sending me the physical copy and keep fucking with me?Quote:

MegaRace 3 on PC.
That intro...is certainly....something.
POD Gold. For its era, the environments are kinda cool. I can't fully judge how it controls as I been just using the Keyboard. It's been fine so far but no doubt a late 90s PC game.
Just played QuackShot and World of Illusion :)
The Ninja Warriors. Arcade on PS4.
Been playing a lot of Battlefield V but just got a PSVR so been checking out some games for that. Already have a Rift but still wanted the PSVR
Replaying Bayonetta 2 missions with Jeane. I think I'm now realizing it's futile to try and get 10 million Halo's to fight Rodin. I have been playing this game for about 20 hours and still at like 1.3 million. I love Bayo 2 but yeah going to put it down as soon as Vesperia arrives.
Onimusha Warlords HD. Man In a way I kinda miss fixed Resident evil camera angles and pre-rendered environments.
Mummy Demastered on the Switch!
I’ve thought about getting that one, I generally really like WayForward games
Tales of Vesperia
Travis Strikes Again
Watch Dogs 2
Gonna play Lost World for Mega Drive today, testing some new GG codes made by Tony :)
Ketsui Deathtiny, the new arrange mode. It's friggin' awesome, so addictive. Playing it back-to-back with Dangun Feveron Fever Arrange mode, which is equally awesome. Love the M2 Arrange modes in these Shotrigger releases, the way they ease up the (usually pretty rugged) difficulty of the original games to let regular folk have some fun without getting their shit worked every five seconds, but include a technique for score chasers to activate early on in a run for a more challenging scoring mode that changes up the rules on the fly. Genius really, and a far better way to deal with skill disparity than the Novice modes in the Cave ports on 360 IMO.
And of course the actual games have been ported with such reverence and respect, as we've come to expect from the emulation gods at M2. The games include every single option that you could ever hope to tinker with, four different selectable soundtracks and great looking graphics options for realistic scanlines etc. And the M2 Gadgets, as they're known - the super detailed HUD that fills the screen real estate in YOKO mode - conveys all the info you could possibly want and more besides.
Flashback on switch
I felt like playing some shooters so I'm playing Raiden V again.
Darius Burst Chronicles PS4
Resident Evil 2 REmake. Liking what I've played so far, but can't help but pine for a true old skool remake like we got with the first one (with tank controls, fixed cameras, etc). Oh well, it's good still.
Going to start Life is Strange 2 on PS4 today :)
Macross Delta Scramble on PSVita. Pretty fun action game.
I picked Travis Strikes Again back up after a hiatus because there was a section frustrating me but I got past it and now got the final Death Ball...which takes place in Shadows of the Damned of all games. So No More Heroes takes place in the Killer 7 universe and Shadows of the Damned is a game Travis likes along with Namco's Mappy..while riding Epona from Zelda to Dracula's castle. I'm not making this shit up. This all happens in this game. It's nuts. My fave thing so far is the intro for Coffee & Donuts which looks like a PS1 era CGI intro (on purpose)
Played the DMCV demo. It's good. It's very good.I still think Bayonetta 2 has a better combat system but it's still really really good.
Kicking back with some of the Toaplan shooters on MD. Twin Cobra is friggin' brutal, which is to be expected with it's squashed screen real estate and point-blank happy enemies. If this isn't the hardest shmup on the console I don't know what is. Undead Line is sort of mild compared to this.
Fired up Panarama Cotton while I was at it, still love the game even after clearing it so many times. There's a ton of different routes through the stages at least.
I know what you're saying, but for all that it's still a fucking excellent game!Quote:

Yeah the new remade environments look incredible, especially Umbrella's underground lab in the final section of the game. I got chills exploring that place.Quote:

Is that really a spoiler? ;)Quote:

Ha ha, I gotchu. I bet you were like, ‘Wuuuuut?!?!?!’
Daemon X Machina demo. This game still needs some time in the oven but it is still several months from release. I like the style. Music is very Devil May Cry shredding. At first, seems slow but then I got a chip where it changed my speed. I'm liking it. Needs some better performance tho. Again still a while from release so not too worried there yet. What is this game? Nintendo's new IP that is just Armored Core. So there is an Armored Core this gen and it's portable. The game has deep customization options for you and your mecha. I colored mine to be like Temjin from Virtual On. Still amazed I am getting essentially a new Armored Core a new DMC and possibly 2 Platinum games in one year with Bayo 3 (maybe) and Astral Chain. UGH, I AM SO HYPED!
