Nice! What did you think? I’ve played the trilogy more times than I can count at this point. The side missions are probably my favourite from them though actually. In particular the Seven Deadly Sins and especially Patient Zero are the pinnacle of the series imo.

Fair enough. I enjoy puzzle platformers, so I was going to like the games regardless, but I just absolutely love the atmosphere of Inside. It might be my favourite ever, not really sure why. But I’ve been looking for something to scratch that itch ever since, and have so far come up empty handed.
Inside does have a story, but just like with Limbo, it doesn’t tell it to you, you have to figure it out for yourself. It’s all environmental story telling, and it doesn’t give any concrete answers to your questions. I still don’t fully know what was going on in that world but I’m okay with that. The unknown is an awesome creepy vibe I absolutely get on with, and is the main reason I love it so much.
I’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve played it.

Personally I’m a huge fan of both Limbo and Inside, solely because of the atmosphere. I much prefer Inside but I also really enjoyed Limbo too. I hope you enjoy Inside more than Limbo, but your complaints about Limbo will be more or less the same in Inside.

The music is the reason I got the game actually, and is also the reason I recommend it to people. The gameplay is also awesome, but the music really sells it and is a core part of the gameplay too.

Skyrim OST is absolute peak. Hard agree on that. The rest are great too.

I loved Mirror’s Edge. The sequel was decent too. I kind of want to replay it again.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 2 days ago:
I play that game just for the soundtrack basically. It’s a great game anyway gameplay wise but that soundtrack is killer.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 2 days ago:
I loved Airborne. It was the only one I ever played though. Maybe I’ll revisit the series sometimes soon.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 2 days ago:
+1 for gunpoint, I absolutely loved that game and its soundtrack. That might be the best one commented so far.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 2 days ago:
We have the same taste it looks like. All excellent tracks.

Absolutely, the radio is fantastic. No joke it’s what got me into jazz which is one of my favourite genres now.

My wife likes to watch me play the Batman games, especially Asylum, and she recently requested I play them again. I put a couple hours into Asylum, so I’ve still got the itch to continue. City is the most nostalgic for me, but I think Asylum was the best game overall. It’s probably the one I revisit the most.

I was going to mention Hollow Knight but figured someone else would want to. Such a fantastic OST.
Also ditto on FromSoft stuff. The other one I was considering mentioning was Dark Souls III. They’re all great but that one is my #1 from them.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 3 days ago:
City brings me back no matter when I give it a listen. Origins, despite being the black sheep, had an awesome soundtrack too.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 3 days ago:
+1 for Celeste. Brilliant game, brilliant OST
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 3 days ago:
I have lots of favourites but I feel like most will be suggested by others so I’ll go for one that isn’t as popular: Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine. The whole soundtrack is amazing start to finish. Some of the best piano tunes to ever be in a video game, and a super under-appreciated game. It should’ve been way bigger than it was. Unfortunately it’s being tainted by its less-than-stellar sequel which came out recently. Don’t play the sequel, but definitely play the original. It’s fun solo but it really shines co-op with a friend (or three). It supports up to four players and I’d definitely recommend co-op if you have the means. I used to play it on 360 with a friend of mine and it’s some of my most fond gaming memories. It’s not a difficult game to figure out but it’s not an easy game to get good at. But all that is to say, play the game, or if you can’t, absolutely listen to the soundtrack. It’s awesome.

I should do that for all the games. Go for picks I’ve never done before. I’ve definitely fallen into a rut, going for the same ones every time. I do the same in Dark Souls and Skyrim, always going for the same builds. Gotta force myself to try something new.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 days ago:
Good to know. I think I’ll go for a full new team next time, I usually pull from the same ~10 Pokémon.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 days ago:
Good to know, I’ll give it a shot on my next playthrough. How early can you get it? I’ve always ignored them.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 days ago:
I forgot that the thunder stone is actually attainable in the main game of crystal, that does make it better. Jolteon is post game in GS unfortunately. I haven’t tried Lanturn, maybe I’ll give it a try next time. I’m not a fan of Electabuzz, not really sure why. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance.

Well objectively Ampharos is by far the best electric type in the game if you aren’t using legendaries. Between her stats, move pool, and how early you can get her. There’s also some subjective reasons for me too, she’s one of my favourite Pokémon they’ve ever released. I only usually play Crystal if I’m okay using legendaries for the playthrough and then I’ll hunt for Raiku as early as I can. There’s not many good electric types in Johto unfortunately. The other alternative is getting Kadabra and teaching him thunder punch, but you don’t get STAB and he’s not the most defensive out there. It works but it’s not ideal. You could skip having an electric type on the team altogether but it’s a veuu try valuable type to have. I’m curious what you use instead of Ampharos, if anything.

Yeah that’s fair, I just love that RBY is so janky and you can kind of just do whatever in those games. You don’t even need cheats if you want to mess around with the game. You can get a Mew after the first badge, you can walk through walls, duplicate items, all the standard Pokemon cheats you’d usually use a game shark or action replay for, you can just do in those first games with glitches. They definitely do have a lot of problems though. Limited, unorganized bag space is probably my least favourite part of that game. GSC are limited bags too but at least it’s organized.
If you thought BW were alright, B2W2 are basically just improved versions. There’s a different story line and all that but it’s the Emerald of Gen 5 if that makes sense. I’m intrigued you’d rank Crystal higher than GS though. I love all three but Ampharos is basically mandatory in a Johto playthrough for me and she isn’t available at all in Crystal for some reason. No idea why they did that. If we’re breaking up games within a group though Emerald would definitely be higher than RS. Same thing with Platinum above DP.

I still have my original playthrough from 2009 on my cartridge, I don’t want to erase that to make a new save file, which is why I like emulating. The original gen 2 games are clean so I tend to just play those instead, even though I prefer HGSS. GSC are probably my #2.
I’d probably rank them HGSS, GSC, RBY, FRLG, RSE, DPPt, XY, ORAS, B2W2, BW, USUM, SM. I haven’t played anything after that. After Gen 4 is a noticeable drop in quality for me. They’re still good but not nearly as good I’d say. Gen 1-4 was peak. DPPt are still some of my all-time favourite games despite being lower on that list. I’m curious how you’d rank the Pokemon games.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 6 days ago:
Many times. I bought SoulSilver when it was new and got the pokewalker with it. No idea where it is anymore though. I think HGSS are the best ever Pokemon games but unfortunately there’s a lot of bugs with it on emulator for some reason that didn’t exist on cartridge. Every ROM I’ve tried for those games have black spots everywhere and occasional full black screen where you have to save and then restart the “DS” in order to fix it. If you know of a rom for HGSS without bugs that would be awesome.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 6 days ago:
Gen 2 and remakes have always been my favourite games, I just love the Johto region. Gens 1-4 are all excellent games though.

I was curious about it when it was first announced but haven’t looked into it at all. I still have to play through 2016 and Eternal first. I’ve only ever played 1993 and 2
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 6 days ago:
Nice. I’ve been meaning to do another playthrough of Gold or Silver again recently. Likewise for the Nth time
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I haven’t finished any game in the series so I can’t fully comment, but if my memory serves me right the control scheme prior to maybe AC4 was absolutely awful. There’s a really good video on YouTube that pretty accurately describes my feelings on the series from what I’ve played. I don’t remember exactly who made it now but I want to say either VaatiVidya or Iron Pineapple. If I find it I’ll edit my comment and include the link.
