What Has Everyone Been Playing This Week? 4

[QualityChimp]

I could, I suppose.

I imagine it would be pretty dull to watch as I cautiously shuffle around the house, turning around every 3 seconds.

Found a treat in the flooded basement, but was so prepped for something, so I merely went "Ooo-er!"

[Atticus]

I'd watch it ... from the cowardly, comfort of my sofa.

[QualityChimp]

That's a solid audience of 2!
I have a Twitch account but no idea how to stream.

EDIT: Notes for me for the BIG SHOW later

Stopping to smell the flowers Nice touch

Ha! They're only thing that looked nice in that place!

Thanks for watching guys! I hope it was fun for you too in my inaugural livestream!
It's a great game and as Atticus says it's new but Old Skool with the "Find the missing statues" tropes.
Fuse got to see me lose my **** when I got a massive jump scare he obviously new was coming!

I like using the VR to wall clip sometimes and had fun poking my head through a few walls!
EDIT: When I peek around the corner, does your whole screen tilt, or does it stay upright, as it appears to me with my stereoscopic vision?

I think my favourite bit was when I was being chased around a car like a Benny Hill sketch, only for the bad guy to get stuck on the car! I then spent a leisurely few minutes ransacking the place, smashing boxes, filling in a crossword, all whilst he walked on the spot trash-talking me, but unable to attack.

Towards the end of the session, I was in a flashback scene and saw a small girl.
A few moments later, I could hear a distant child's cry.
It was really unnerving.
The crying didn't stop.
Even when I took my headphones off.
I realised it was my own daughter crying! Oops.

Full round up:

Grand Theft Auto III - Still very early on in this, PS2/3 still feels the best way to play it and it takes a little bit ot get used to how it plays again. It's still fun, very nostalgic but very easy to get through so far as well.

Resistance: Burning Skies - Also early on, I tend to just chip at Vita stuff so this will take a while. So far it's reasonable enough.

Kentucky Route Zero - Probably about halfway through Act IV now, these later acts are much longer so no wonder they took longer to release but I think I prefer the simpler early acts of the game

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Just finishing reaching Rank 55 and messing around with Rust and then I'll uninstall it again, each season brings a lot of content but too much is tied to modes I don't want to play meaning you actually don't get many new maps per year to keep you engaged.

Borderlands 3 - Another early stage, I'm on the 4th main mission of 23. Enjoying it but it feels like DLC to the last game.

Screen stays upright iirc. The peeking factor was great ... VR looks like it adds a proper role-play factor. I must man-up and try it. Just hope I don't succumb to any motion sickness. It only happened with one other game (Wipeout) but I've read RE7 can be a more demanding title motion-wise.

[QualityChimp]

Ah cool, I was worried the screen was lurching all over the place!

I'll be honest, it's not as scary as people have said, but that might be because I was bantering with you guys too.

Haven't felt a single bit of motion sickness in this. Not one jot. Happily streamed for about 90 mins with no issues.

Back on New Vegas. Took a detour into the Omerta Casino on The Strip, specifically the Gomorrah suites. Not on a mission, just on the explore looking for theft n' funnies.

I remember they take your weapons off you as you go in, some suit guy ready for a silenced shot to the cerebellum. But, luckily, The Ripper and my trusty silenced 22 were let through. All was going well until I chanced upon a writhing, Voldo-like sexy-dancing male prozzie on a lower floor, 'clad' in bondage garb (basically a couple of leathery strips) .

Anyway, I promptly clipped him 007-style with the 22, beheaded him and popped his severed noggin on the podium upon which he was dancing.

Then, I donned his bondage gear and decided to further explore, finding a couple of Very Hard doors, which I unlocked easy cos I'm on 90 Lockpick and own about seven issues of Locksmith's Reader.

Found a murdered prostitute in a room. Future quest deffo. Interesting. Haven't caused a kerfuffle with the Omerta yet but they're kill-on-sight right now and I suspect it's because I'm not supposed to be exploring where I am.

Got outta there quick after popping a few with the 22, took one's head off but now all the Omerta are after me on the main lobby level (luckily, you still get your weapons back as you exit).

Hope they've forgiven me next time I visit!

[Atticus]

With the recent Warlords of New York announcement I've been getting reacquainted with The Division 2. Feels great to go back to. So many things to do there's never enough time. What a brilliant game.

[QualityChimp]

Played some more Astrobot, which I'm thinking is one of the best games I've ever played.

BOOM.

I didn't think I could get that sense of wonder, joy and surprise that games like Mario 64 brought, but here it is, out Marioing Mario.

I've got one world left to go, so I've gone back to mop up all the missing bots and find the missing chameleons and it's a nice reminder of how inventive the levels are.

I also played a bit of Tetris 99 after a very beautiful person gave me a 3 month live code.
First game 16th! I didn't even know all the controls, like storing a piece or fast drop! Then I tried about and rarely made sub-40!
It's a bit stressful, tbh!

Took my son to a friend's house who has a son a similar age, and they both played different games on their own Switches. Madness.
So we cracked open Smash Bros. when his daughter came home from ballet lessons and it was absolute pandemonium, and that was just getting all the pads to work and navigating the menus without somebody clicking back.
I've never liked Smash Bros and this didn't change my mind. Tiny sprites, falling off the screen and just confusing. I don't know why it's so revered, but I like the eclectic character roster and levels.

[QualityChimp]

Back on Astrobot. Collected all the missing bots and chameleons then started the final world.

The game is still inventive and coming up with new ideas. This time it's a spooky graveyard and your controller is a torch with a blinding flash for shocking ghosts.

I remember playing Midway Mania at Disneyworld and wowed that the paint splats stayed on Woody and Buzz, but this does the same thing even better, in the comfort of your own home! Amazing.

Inside.

Couple of bits that made me a bit otty.
The swimming kids.
The shockwave section.

I love the lighting, atmosphere and zombie squad you have at one point.
