Jus got the platinum on Destroy All Humans remake. As already mentioned, I absolutely adored the original games, so in that regard, it holds up very well. However, if I were to score it as a remake, I’d give it an 8/10. Only because the game is a complete 1/1 of the original, even down to flaws from the original, so it works against it. For instance, there were loading screens that no joke took almost a full minute. That’s inexcusable in a 2020 game and you would think performance upgrades like that would come along wit a remake. Graphics were nice but definitely could have been saucier for a 2020 game. And then there’s certain design flaws that still were never fixed. For instance, the boost button to stay “skating” wit the jets in your boots, is O. Jump is X. And obviously camera is right stick. This makes it to where you need to hold down boost during the race challenges, while constantly having to jump wit X, and hover by holding X, all wit the same finger you’re holding O down wit, all while being unable to touch the right stick. The last 2 races were virtually impossible because of this, until I found a workaround online, where you remap the O button to L2 in the actual PS4 settings. After doing this, the races were still hard, but I beat both in roughly 10 or less tries after that. That’s a complete design flaw, where choosing your own controls makes something that was damn near impossible, relatively easy in comparison.
So yea overall there were definitely some disappointments that could have easily been fixed 15 years later as a remake instead of keeping everything the EXACT same, but it was a super dope trip down memory lane, and those games will always hold a special place for me.
Last time I was at the fish store, they informed me that they have a website for coral auctions, which I was unaware of. They put random coral up each week, and then move on to the next set the following week, etc. So it jus so happened that one of the corals up for auction for last week/this week, was one of the final corals I need for my tank, Utter Chaos Palythoas. (Utter Chaos is jus the color morph.) It was $50 in store, but I figured naw fuck it Im’ma try and win it for cheaper first.
Long story short, I won! Some mf tried to sneak in a last second bid wit 15 seconds left, but I hit em wit the buzzer beater kill shot at 4 seconds on the clock. 🤣🤣
Their picture is kinda garbage, so up close, HD picture of the polyp from Google:
