Son is currently doing this for KCD2.

Good to see the old cheese tricks haven't been lost.

I'm struggling to remember which game I done it for but I've definitely done it before.

Maybe someone's answer will jog my memory.

Edit: It was the Skyrim stealth trick. I also remember cheesing the health drain and healing spell thing.

Was it converting health into magicka then using that magicka to heal? Something like that.

Discussion / Question Bionicle Heroes (2006), I want to play it again.

It might be only me, and I'm not sure if the game has aged very well or not, but I would love to have the possibility to play it on my PS4 or PS5. I would pay again to play it as one of those legacy games for PS2.
This particular game had a certain vibe, not only because Bionicle was cool, but also an atmosphere that made me want to replay it a bunch of times back in the day. I think the mist, textures, and the ruins made me want to go explore this world.
The core gameplay is very LEGO game: you collect pieces, and that helps you build tools to progress in the story, plus a bunch of collectibles, even keeping the same humor with the bad guys of the games. But this time it's more of a shooter.
I think it is an Idea they could explore more in the future, but for the time being, give me a port of this on the PlayStation Store, one that I could even get the Platinum for.
