Casino Royale has an interesting plot and is worth reading even if you have seen the film. #justreadit

bold choice to announce no more physical media on the SAME DAY you announce the closure of two digital storefronts, all within a week of removing hundreds of movies from your customers' digital library without notice or refund.

It took me a while but I finally managed to beat Borderlands 4. Solid looter shooter. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I recently finished reading "The Formula" by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg. I would recommend it for anyone with an interest in motorsports. #justreadit

Yakuza Kiwami 3 keeps the main story intact, mostly, but completely changes up the side content. If you aren't interested in game gear games, obscure Sega arcade games, and running an orphanage on the beach, then you may want to skip this one. I enjoyed it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

The halo doesn't look very safe... #justbuiltit

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

I have a soft spot for the game gear and I'm grateful that Yakuza Kiwami 3 is showing that system some love.

Dead or Alive 6 doesn't let you take screen shots of the credits. 🙄

I think Omega in Dead or Alive 3 is the hardest end boss of any 3d fighting game I've played. I only got to see Kasumi's ending. But it didn't deter me from beating DoA4. Playing DoA 6 now and I'm impressed how much the story mode is expanded.

Absolum is an absolute blast to play online co-op. The beat 'em gameplay is extremely satisfying. I #justbeatit with my buddy Peter. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Battletoads Arcade is really hard and kinda boring to play. Maybe it's more fun in co-op? Animation and sound are great but I wouldn't recommend this one. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

The son of a famous pod racer blows up a space station because they kidnapped a girl he liked. Super Star Wars is tough but fair with great music and animation. You can play as Luke, Han and Chewbacca. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Anakin is once again galactic champion. Star Wars Racer Revenge is just okay. Play the episode I Racer if you want some pod racing. Or if you need Anakin in a rat tail play Revenge. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Star Wars Episode I: Racer is a pod racing game. I played as Anakin and became the fastest in the galaxy. This kid probably has a bright future in this space fantasy franchise. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Ys Memoire: Oath in Felghana is a short, fantastic, and difficult action RPG. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Kiss babes, punch tigers. That's the life lessons I learned from Yakuza Kiwami 2. Now I am ready for Kiwami 3. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

"It does not move the genre forward" is a lame videogame critique and nobody will convince me otherwise.

Metroid Prime 4 is a fantastic sci fi action adventure game. The different biomes have all gorgeous art design. The game could have used more enemy variety and some metroids. I really enjoyed it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Metroid Prime Remastered is a 10 out of 10 game. If you haven't played it the switch version is a great option. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

PS addressed the CBOMB when we raised the issue. They are now acting on the detachable disc drive issue. Nintendo finally offers more card sizes. Some physical games were only made due to public demand. Don't let anyone ever tell you that you don't have a voice as customers!

Soulcalibur II for the Game Cube. The series is underrated in my opinion. Link was a great choice for a guest character. Check it out if you have never played it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut on Switch 2. I really enjoyed replaying this game with English voice acting. There's Disco dancing, bowling and a chicken you can hire. What more do you need? #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Every “this 90s video game soundtrack did NOT have to go this hard” video essay fails to note President Clinton’s pledge that by the end of the decade, America would create a video game soundtrack that “goes extremely hard”

Salamander 3 steps it up in intensity from the previous game. I found it very fun and difficult on easy 😅. It first came out a few months ago on the Gradius Origins collection. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I had a good time playing Salamander 2. Great gameplay and visuals and a fantastic soundtrack. I was able to beat the Japanese easy version with 3 credits via the Gradius Origins collection. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful. store.steampowered.com/app/1318970/...

The Touryst is a mixed bag for me. I loved the art and vibes. I enjoyed the puzzle solving. But I disliked some of the platforming and mini games. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Ghost of Yōtei explores how one heals from trauma. Whether it is a diet of grilled fish, painting lovely landscapes, playing haunting melodies on the shamisen, or slaughtering your enemies, you play as Atsu as she grieves her family and tries to find peace. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I just beat Ys X: Nordics. In this RPG you travel the northern islands with ship combat and you get a magical surfboard to ride along light trails. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

also it's pronounced "brothers"

Donkey Kong Bananza. I punched and smashed my way to the hollow Earth's golden core. Collected massive amounts of gold, but to be honest, the real gold was the bananas eaten along the way. I loved it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Yakuza Kiwami on switch. If you played it on other systems you won't get anything new here but I enjoyed playing on my switch 2. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Mario Kart World has caused me a lot of pain and soreness.... From smiling constantly! I love it 😃 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

If you like fighting games and action RPGs, I recommend the world tour mode of Street Fighter 6. You role play as a citizen of Mayor Mike Haggar's Metro City. Capcom should build off the game and make a 3D Final Fight. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Round 1 units are ready to order, we will likely sell out fast. I already started production of Round 2 so a pre-order window will begin as soon as we run out of Round 1 stock. www.laserbear.net/products/wav...

I found Sam & Max Hit the road to be amusing yet frustrating at times. I had trouble getting Sam to move where I wanted in a few instances. I would recommend it only if you are interested in classic point and click adventure games. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Fury3 has been a white whale for me ever since getting a Windows 95 PC with a demo of the game as a child. You pilot a ship in 3d fighting air targets and ground targets across 8 planets. Pretty fun. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster is a great RPG. Gameplay, music, art and story are all fantastic. It's been 18 years since I beat this game on the GBA and I was reminded how wonderful the pacing is. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Finished Berserk volume 42. Heartbreak and tragedy but I have hope for the characters in the future. #justreadit

Toem is a good photography adventure video game. Some of the requests were simple, some made me look around and have an "ah ha!" moment, which is what you want with a puzzle game. The dramatic use of color reminds me of Akira Kurosawa's High and Low. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster is a must play RPG. It has incredible music and gorgeous visuals. You can switch between jobs to gain new skills. I've beaten the PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, and now PS5 versions, and I would say they're all worth playing. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Clockwork Aquario is a 2021 platformer made by Westone. It started as an arcade game in '92. The gameplay is fun and it has great art and music. Enemies can be stunned and thrown. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I saw the new Looney Tunes movie "The Day the Earth Blew Up" last night, I haven't laughed so much in years! Go see it right away.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a fantastic action game. Combat is fast and fluid. The writers deftly crafted dramatic and comedic scenarios. If you have beaten a game in this series and ignored the substories, you are doing yourself a disfavor. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Alienation is a twin stick shooter made by Housemarque for the PS4 in 2016. You get better loot and level up. I mostly played in co-op. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
