What are you playing?

Populous II. That game is so much fun, so much better than PC version.
I was playing it every night in 1992, until Dune came out then i forgot about Populous II until recently. Problem is that the game seems harder on a 68060 Amiga.

When people have to religiously state that Amiga games are better than the PC version, it kind of defeats the validity of the statement. It's just doctrine at this point.

I have the Ishar trilogy for PC (GOG) and on Amiga. Music scores are much better on Amiga (Ishar 2 themes are really cool). In this case, Amiga version is better than PC.

But for Syndicate: American Revolt, PC version is better as you have the airstrike.

I think every game must be analyzed separately.

Planning to dig up an old favourite: Powerstyx

Highly unforgiving, but not in the platform-jumping way.

Try using full screen mode (Enter key on the Numeric Key Pad). That should slow it down a little.

To be fair, maybe it is not obviously religious until he is asked why he liked the Amiga version better.

Calabazam, why do you think the Populous 2 version on the Amiga is better than the PC?

Shadow of Colossus on PS5.

Never finished the game and in this play got to boss # 8. I remember killin' it before, but before I realized got killed.

[Nobby_UK]

Had a quick go of 'Gray Matter' (360)

Text barely readable (no HDMI)

Combining objects = difficult

I gave up.

[Anubis]

Finished boss # 10 in Shadow of the Colossus (Dirge). Got 6 more to go.

Played intro to Horizon Zero Dawn on PC. (This was the first game I finished on PS4) You got to love details and story behind combined with good game mechanics. The game is a eye candy... I will probably continue playing it once done with Shadow of the Colossus.

DCS World is my daily drive but last night had some relaxation playing GR++ Arse On Fire Special Edition.

[Anubis]

Made a mistake by watching [ Show youtube player ]' playthrough of Final Fantasy 1 on NES, and next thing you know, I was playing it... It is much easier if someone explains what game mechanics work as intended and what don't.

Made a mistake by watching Jerupitus' playthrough of Final Fantasy 1 on NES, and next thing you know, I was playing it... It is much easier if someone explains what game mechanics work as intended and what don't. It also helps that he shows card for all enemies in the game, as well all spells.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Besides playing Cyberpunk 2077 as a " big main game" I am also quite happy to play Half-Life 2 (the Ravenholm part being awesome and creepy and the bridge/scaffolding section combined with "wonderful" ladder mechanics being...let's just say more than frustrating ).

To relax in between I enjoy switching off to the Hero of the Kingdom saga.
They are really nice resource management, bit of objects searching adventure games. The walking back and forth between screens might not be for everyone, but otherwise there is no time pressure and players can just enjoy figuring out how to progress and help npcs along the way.

Playing Stardew Valley 1.6 update. The game is now a hoarder's worst nightmare, complete collectathon overhaul. Mystery boxes, prize tickets, skill books. Gotta collect em all.

Having a creative blast currently:

Enjoying Music Generator 2 on the PS2 currently!

Callisto Protocol

Solid but feels abit too much like Dead Space for my liking, just with more emphasis on melee combat.

Maybe this explains it:

The game is directed by Dead Space series creator Glen Schofield and is considered a spiritual successor to the series.

Reached a futuristic cathedral like level on Prodeus that combined with music and monsters-smashing is it the better part so far

it may sound blasphemous, but atmospheric cathedrals and monsters gore mess always works well into fps
