PixlBit

I don't know that I "love" this game. I think I honestly barely like. Gameplay is fine, but boring. Once I got the Pixelizer or whatever it's called I never felt the need to change weapons. The upgrade system isn't as good as 3's either - it's more along the lines of 2's. And... Idk. I feel no real desire to finish it.

 It's a remake in the worst sense of the word. It's more polished - sure. But a lot of the heart is absent. The game makes me cringe more than it makes me laugh. Ratchet and Clank at times swap personality traits to what they had in the original, and there is literally no character arc to speak of. Come to think of it, there's barely a fucking story arc. Did they just gut the story because it's in the movie?

 I know, gameplay comes first, and gameplay is decent fun. I like that it's basically baby's first bullet hell, and the weapons are fun... but it's barely a Ratchet and Clank game at heart.

It looks cool but its easier than the areas before it. Basically switch your stances up and learn which ones work for which enemies. 

 Them blocking is good for you. Hitting them while blocked drains their  stamina ajd when their stamina is drained press triangle on them to do a move similar to dark souls riposte for massive damage and some breathing room. Use rocks to draw them out one at a time and switch between different kinds of weapons until you find what works best for you.

 When you have too much loot, make offering at shrine to get xp and items, and pay attention not only to the damage or protection equipment offers, but the side stats as well. Those things helped me a lot.

As for frame rate, you can change it at the title screen. Youll see a thing that sYs movie movie mode and if yoy change that your framerate will improve. My skill seemed to almost double after that.

Damn that sucks :/ I had to do that with my 3DS a while ago so I understand somewhat. That's never fun.

It took me a bit. Now I feel like a pro. Just dodge away from enemies rather than around them like you would in souls. You don't have i-frames in your dodge so you really have to force the enemy into favourable ground before fighting them.

 Have you beat the boss yet? I thought for sure that's all there'd be but then the second level happened and it's all rainy and pretty. Oh, and did you find the option to switch from 30 fps to 60?

Awesome. Let me know what you think.

Idle thumbs is best podcast. Well second. Idle Weekend is best podcast.

Are we friends on steam? I feel like we are but I couldn't find you in my friends list. If you ever want someone to play rocket league or something else with let me know.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons made me cry. It effected me on an emotional level that few other games even dream of accomplishing, and it did so without any dialogue. The cutscene demonstrated the event passing, but it wasn't evident until there was a shift in the way the game controlled that the full impact was obtained.

If gears is coming to pc I'll be interested. I hope it sticks more to the first two though. I liked the creepy atmosphere more than the straight out dudebro nonsense - even if gameplay was still fun.

 Mirrors edge... man I can't wait. I hated the first one. It's one of my favourite games of all time, but I hated it. Hopefully this one instills the same reaction.

What happened to your old one? Sorry if you mentioned it in a blog, I haven't been here for a while.

Nice list. Literally haven't heard of any of these. Rageaholic might not be my thing though. Overwhelming cynicism just annoys me now (yeah, I know, the irony) and that video just reminds me of modern moviebob.

 It's easy to be negative and funny. It's harder to be positive and funny, which is why I love Cool Ghosts and Matt Lees. I also like more intellectual stuff like Matthewmatosis, Super Bunnyhop, Errant Signal, and others like that - so Shay and Exo look like they'll be right up my alley. Thanks for this post at any rate.
