I did get it!

I've only been able to play it due to a lot of personal things happening (Nothing bad just been super busy!). I've played about 5-6 hours so far & I like it. The games visuals are breathtaking! Really feels like the next gen jump! From what I have experienced so far, they story has me compelled. I'm interested to see where it goes.

The action combat is okay but I am still mistaking the move that lunges you forward for evade and despite Clive visably disappearing during that move he can still get hit. The other gripe i have is with the World Map design. Itfeels like you experiencing sccenes within a movie rather than the flow of an RPG. it feels like after every area, you are drawn to the World Map, where all you do is click on the next area to go to and your there. The sense of adventure is lacking because we're not experiencing the journey through the enviornment. Like I said, I am very early in, so this may change... we'll see.

I did also order the Deluxe Edition from Coolshop but as I expected it hasn't even been sent yet! I ordered it because the price was 3/4's everywhere else but they're incompetent when it comes to Pre-Orders. I'll chase them up about it today. I did manage to get a GAME exclusive Steelbook at least.

Other Purchases:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut (360)
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (360)
Silent Hill HD Collection (360 - Digital)

FINALLY got my Deluxe Edition in! There's not much too it really, a box, Steelbook & a Map... Which is retailing at £99.99! I got it cheaper but still feel it wasn't worth the price. Previous S-E releases have the slipcase over the Steelbook which look nice - A bare steelbook on my shelf jsut loosk weird... So after all thsi efort to get 2 different steelbooks... I'm using niether! :eek:

Here's what they both look like 1 GAME Pre-Order bonus, 2 - Deluxe Edition:

Got this in the mail last week or so.

So I’ve been playing the first one lol.

Unfortunately I’ve been really lazy and getting more digital than I really ought to - have a tendency to forget I bought some things already and never play them. But today I got DBZ Kakarot on Switch, as well as Trails of Reverie without thinking whether I should have played any prior to it.

I'm just now getting to the second Crossbell game. I can't even imagine how long it's going to take me to get through all the Cold Steel games so I can start Reverie.
 
My copy of Reverie arrived too, but I think I'm going to finish Final Fantasy XVI (which is brilliant!) before I start it.

Oh man, I adore the Crossbell duo. You've got so much great stuff ahead of you!
 
I was well into TOTK but I had to go away for a few weeks and now I can't find the motivation to play it since I came back.

I was enjoying it a lot more than BOTW, for whatever reason.

Tbh I might look up some synopsis…or go in blind and play the others later. Sometimes I enjoy trying to piece something together backwards lol. But I’ll probably go with the former if I can.

I already liked Zero, but I think I'm enjoying Ao even more so far! Pretty sure I'm closing in on the end of Chapter 2, and I can just tell things are about to explode. 👀

Nothing wrong with that at all. I think I saw Reverie even has a summary of what happened in the Crossbell and Cold Steel games for newcomers.
 
With PS2 microphone (I don't know if any USB mic works) you can AYA!/Weeow! the hunters. That get em pissed a lot.
That sounds very interesting - I oughta look into it and give it a go!

Manhunt was actually banned for a while here in the UK. It's game I've never got round to playing until now. How highly do you rate the game and its sequel?

Manhunt its a very brave, almost punk horror game. Imo the executions which got most of the attention are the lesser feature and it shines (well, shadow? damn..) at ambient and specially dynamic soundtrack. Dont miss the unlockable level "Monkey See, Monkey Dies!" to get a true adrenaline rush. If it were a milkshake it scores 4/5.

Manhunt 2, its as unfair as it should result due to the even more problematic development (It was partially redone by a different studio and imo the result is lower that the initial concept) is a totally forgettable game that just adds in the executions so it gets boring quickly. The AI is broken, specially at flashback levels.
1/5.

"Fun" fact: real life nazi scum adores Manhunt 1, showing how dumb they are as both Cash and The Director despise the skin gang as the worst of the worst.
At least II Reich nazis readed some books. Their main stage is called Fueled by Hate :)
