What's everybody gonna play in March?

I've got to finish Ringed City and then I'll be done with DkS3 and then it's on to Monster Hunter, maybe i'll finish the Witcher 3 by the end of the year :v:
Ys VIII now that it's gotten a TL patch and I've finished Tales of Berseria. Little bit of Zweii 1 on Steam (I already got 10 hours into an alpha patched version before XSEED announced it which was kind of annoying).

FF15 and Into the Breach

FF15 was pretty good, I liked it a lot even if it felt really disjointed. It might've helped if I watched the Kingslayer movie thing.

How does Squeenix consistently botch re-releases so loving badly. I'm praying the World Ends With You remix is actually okay, I just want to play it on Switch and do not want tons of RPG Maker-quality poo poo all over it.

They make money off it so why bother doing anything more than the most minimal effort possible and farm it out to phone game people

it's badass, it's animated by staff who worked on batman: the animated series and the second season veers it off from an episodic post-apocalyptic noir giant robot anime into a trippy existential conspiracy nightmare

it also has a badass opening theme

It's a good theme, but I couldn't stop hearing references to the theme from Flash Gordon.

Which in turn led me to think of the opening to Cromartie High

I doubt this is in the Steam version but what I most remember about complaints with mobile Chrono Trigger, were that you had to be connected online all the time to play it and also the game only loaded in weird chunks so you'd just get to some point and it would randomly download the next part of the game.

yeah, and honestly having those labels is better than nothing. it's not a LOT but it at least doesnt let game devs weasel out of saying whether or not they have them.

this, it's a consumer watchdog but doesn't have any official power. this is the extent of the esrb's ability to enforce anything on its own but it's a step in the right direction for consumer protections.

lmao CT is bugged - when you're at the fair and want to help the (spoilers for the 7 people left on earth who dont know the beauty of CT) girl and her cat, the moment you talk to the cat it just sprints off toward the bottom of the screen, meaning you can't get the extra props during the trial

great job SE! :thumbsup:

and holyyyyyyyyy poo poo the equipment menus are confusing and scattered as gently caress, even on a touchscreen this would have been terrible

edit: and uhhh I'm not seeing a quit option either lol

I'm not exactly worried since I'll still get around 60% of my previous salary as unemployment benefits for a year which is more than enough for me to live comfortably but it still feels not that great.

The job market in Finland is looking pretty good too so I'll probably find something sooner or later.

Still have to beat Persona 5 (finishing up Shino's dungeon) but I made the foolish (read: excellent) decision to simultaneously start Trails of Cold Steel and now I'm engrossed in anime shenanigans.

Also it's time to revisit that Bioware Sonic game.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I started playing Ys Origins last night and I don't get the appeal. I'm playing as Hugo but the lack on a "fix direction" button makes shooting kind of uncomfortable. Like, I know that it's not a twin stick shooter or a bullet hell game, but it kind of feels like it wants to be? The one skill I have seems lack-luster and levels don't seem to do much to the point where I'm already just running past most enemies. There's no stores, only one way of really upgrading your character (outside of upgrading the weapon with special items) and the menu for it is so clunky that it doesn't tell you how many SP you have on the same screen it shows you what you can buy with SP. The cherry on top is the character's surname being Fact and his weapon being called "The Eyes of Fact" and I just can't find an eyeroll.gif large enough to express how I feel every time that gets mentioned. I just got the Dragon Scales for the Flooded Prison and I think that's enough for me.
