I know we probably won't get it again but I kinda miss the days of the varied and non-standard physical pc game boxes where they'd do all kinds of weird poo poo and they'd have lots of space to put cool poo poo by having the front cover that would open up and stuff.

If I was rich I'd pick up that myst kickstarter $170 tier because I am exactly the kind of jackass who would love to have a fake myst book that plays a video on a screen when you open the book up but I just cannot justify that price in any way, shape, or form. Hell, I can't justify the $100 tier either and that's just the book sans animated screen but with physical copies of the games.

I feel like making your own Myst book would actually be a pretty simple hobby project, and cost far less than $170.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I had the Myst novels as a kid and it was super
cool because they had the same cover style as the actual linking books in the game.

One if my favorite details in Pop Team Epic is that the fake harem/idol anime that opens the series and gets a preview after the credits clearly completely falls apart in the last episode

Also I had completely forgotten that joke in Akiba''s Trip and it's probably the best joke in that game

How much will I be looked down on by a store clerk if I buy Dragons Crown Pro

Nobody really gives a poo poo probably. Hell when I used to shop at a GameStop regularly where I used to live I was apparently the only person to ever visit the store and buy a Vita game so whenever I came back the woman who worked there would try to upsell me on trashy games and used the phrase "anime tits" regularly.

The real problem with physical media is that my PS4 sounds like it's dying whenever I play a game with a disc.

Also I forget how to eject the drat thing on the console and end up doing it from the in-game menu :v:

Weird. Normally it just spins up once to confirm it's a legit disc for the game in question and then the rest plays from the hard drive.

Maybe my fans are full of dust or something but I only notice it when playing games I have discs for. I feel like it spins off/on the whole time though.

let's consider the worlds most divisive rpg ever made to highlight the taste differences that can be at play here.

Dragon warrior 7 is a masterclass in its genre, selling well over four million copies in japan and being praised by critics all over the country.

In america, it mostly got panned critically and sold like garbage. i played about ten hours of the game about seven years ago, and at the time it felt like an adequate jrpg with a simplistic story. It wasn't til I beat the area I was in that

I realized that game was insanely huge. supposedly taking 200 hours to get through the main game. all the interest i had with the characters and story suddenly morphed into migraine inducing tedium.

I don't think it's a bad game but i know i will never feel an interest in playing it again, this distaste i have to the game does not change how I ultimately feel about it as a total package, which is, if you love jrpg milieu

it's the greatest game ever made.

i feel like this ignores the fact that dq in japan has a huge historical context and lasting appeal that's given it the level of hype american critics usually reserve for big aaa western games, and that coupled with the language barrier likely dwarfed impressions of individual opinion on the game
