Beware The Frog

Once upon a time I made a blog about video games. And this is what's left of it (mostly tweets).

Why is the Forza Horizon 4 demo giving me a 6-speed gearbox on a 1969 Dodge Charger or a 1982 Lancia Stradale.

I’d decided to try as many custom songs as I could (it’s easier now that there’s a Delete button right in Beat Saber) but there’s so much crap coming out every day — the prospect of going through a bunch of bad maps, even for ten seconds, actually began to sour me on the game.

I love that Playground decided it couldn’t portray the English countryside in Horizon without developing destructible drystone wall technology.

The driving model feels more arcadey than I remember, though. Or have I just played too much Dirt Rally?

Looks like Forza Horizon 4 has dialed down the obnoxiousness and walked back the structural changes that both made me give up on Horizon 3. Glad to have a good driving game again to burn off stress at the end of the day—I’m gonna need it come October.

Agh! Had no massive desire to play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, because it looks like Origins 1.5, but this has piqued my interest… [twitter.com]

This character creator is extremely good and it runs in a fucking browser 😲

Shadow of the Colossus, but instead of killing huge creatures, you heal them. You climb up on an almost dead colossus to reach a spot where you can insert healing magic and the further along you are with healing, the harder it gets to stay on because the thing is moving again.

Aww and look at how pretty the photo mode is

As a player of crosswords I really like the cipher puzzles in Jettomero. Simple but efficient (though the gamepad controls are too fiddly); I’ve never felt so much like I was decoding a crypted message in a game.

I don’t think I’ve ever been ranked so high in any game, and it probably just means that Six Match didn’t get anywhere close to the success it deserved

God of War III is free on PSN+ this month and I figured I’d just play it for two minutes in memory of the good old days (although I remember having more fun with the first one) — but I forgot that game was not easy to put down.

Hey, Sony, it’s your responsibility to make sure games don’t waste hundreds of MBs of online space, and eat the cost of those that do — not mine to sort through an endless list of game saves to free up space when my PS4 starts hiding sync errors in the Notifications menu.
