Has anyone played Detention, that 2D horror game set in 1960s Taiwan

It's out on PS4 this week in Europe apparently and looks neat to me

I picked up Bayo 2 and the new wolfenstein (gamestop had it for 30 bucks, why not?) over the weekend. Wolf looks great in 4k, having fun with that one.

Any tips for a new bayonetta player? Should I download the first one and play through it before I play the second one?

If you're ever planning on playing the first one you may as well do it first since that introduces all the characters.

If you hold down an attack button as you dodge it will let you continue the combo after the dodge finishes, which is called Dodge Offsetting. It's actually really important to train yourself to do this because the powerful hits of combos are really the last hits, so if you're not doing that you're just restarting a combo every time you dodge and never getting to the end.

Don't worry if you get bronze or stone awards every time because a bunch of fights are hidden unless you backtrack or explore everywhere, and every hidden fight you miss will tank your score.

Yes, the autoscrolling sections are loving terrible.

Bayonetta 2 is a bit friendlier to new players, but it will spoil a twist in the first game. The first game isn't really that much rougher, but it has some tougher enemies earlier on and annoying qtes that kill you if you fail.

Gimme your opinions on Echoes. I skipped it but my brother played it and seemed to like the gameplay. He just hates Celica and insists that she is awfully written.

Ian Sinclair does a fantastic job as one of the villains

the translation and dub of echoes are insanely good (the writing and voice acting in japanese were also pretty good, the VAing especially - it's telling that Berkut had the best VA in both the original audio and the dub) and I hope they stick to thsoe standards for FE switch.

I don't know anyone saying it was a renegade employee sticking it to the man except that one youtube video, it's just not something I'd expect to make it into a game by a company that publicly shamed people over the intercom. Developers have been fired for dumber easter eggs.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.

I got this this morning and it's really cool, lots of variety in the missions. Definitely packs a lot more content than your average phone game, it wouldn't feel out of place as a downloadable 3DS eShop game or something. Also the music is incredibly catchy

i got curious about whether the lunatic dawn developers were still alive so i checked and it turns out that inbetween making sao video games they also released a game about exploring on a loving trading ship and mapping out the world in 1469 last year and like nine people bought it

i'm glad this insanely janky jp pc game developer has withstood the years and continues to make insanely specifically weird stuff that like five people will ever play while surviving off of developing tie-in games for bamco

No, it's more like Pirates except the focus is exploring a map instead of being the most badass dude. It's the latest in a long running series because Artdink pumps out games faster than any other company I've seen.

they either sold off the songs for cash or they were from a generic music library in the first place. Stuff from Saints Row pops up in commercials all the time.

I do know The Sims as a series has a long history of freelancers for the radio soundtrack. It's likely National Geographic licensed the songs from the individual artists.

This is drat near libel, the guys who made Brigador have absolutely nothing to do with Thermidor.

I somehow found myself sucked into listening to Katamari soundtracks on Youtube and realized I've never played Katamari Forever, because I never owned a PS3. Is that one any good? Is PS3 emulation good enough yet that I could play it on my PC if I manage to find a copy?

Mother 3 chat last page also reminded me that I need to finally get around to continuing Mother 3 from the last time I played it like a decade ago. Maybe once I finish Dragon Quest 6.

No. I mean you send your admirals out and they report their findings which you add to your big world map. The goal is to find an oceanic route to China. Sometimes an event happens or you do some sidequests.

Buy the Bat Within technique as soon as possible. Dodging attacks at the last second gives you Witch Time, a slo-mo period to do big damage with impunity. Bat Within expands that dodge window to include the instant you get hit and is crazy helpful

Also it's up to you if you wanna save up the money for it, but the best accessory is the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa. It lets you guard/counter attacks with good/perfect timing independent of your dodges, and inspired the parry mechanic from Metal Gear Rising
