134/300 - The Ten Bells The atmosphere is brilliant. Graphically, all bar the character animation is good. Sound track is spot on. I had one run though were I couldn't see anything wrong, but it felt wrong. I could not work out what it was that felt wrong, but I felt it in my bones. #300games

133/300 Dordogne

Graphically it is lovely. Some minor gripes with the character animation, but overall it is very pretty.
The attempt at immersion via advanced movements to mimic actions really does not work for me and it pulls me out of the game.

My 7yo noticed my Nintendo DS game case is Game branded, and is now complaining that Bluewaters is no longer worth visiting as Game has closed.

The twenty shots I got, 5 were me trying to work out how to reliably load them, and the rest were great.

On on to the magic sauce of these Airsoft shotguns, the cartridges. I bought a pack of 4.

With some real light usage they all look scratched to shit.

3 need new O Rings out the box, they just didn't never held air well.
1 worked for about 20 shots then died.

In operation, I've not had a pump before, so I suspect a lot of the failures to cycle are me.

The mag and shell latch springs are very weak compared to real steel shotguns I've shot, so I'm not sure how useful it'll end up for reload training.

It absolutely looks the part and pumping it is very satisfying, but...

The quality and finish of the gun is not good. The forestock rattles, the pump is not at all smooth, I've had it a day and the pain is chipping.

Initial thoughts, nickel-and-dimed. The gun does not come with any shells or adapter to fill shells. The shells don't come with wads, wads don't come with overshot cards. It is an expensive experience. That is fine as long at it all works well.
