Phew. Six more hours of bloodborne under my belt and three more bosses dispatched (Shadow of Yarnham, Rom the Vacuous Spider and the Reborn one) and I stopped after meeting Logarius for the first time. It was awesome and invigorating! It is wild how powerful bloodborne can make you feel but most of all the sound and visuals are so detailed and wonderful. I feel that the precision of how the world is built is quite unparalleled. Goodness what an incredible game it is!

cheetah7071 posted:I was not aware of that Yeah, almost all rereleases let her keep a towel from an earlier scene (even when they otherwise include the original sprites as an option), but the very excellent french localization made 10 years ago was based on the original doujin release so that scene is left as in was back then and a bit of a shock. It's worth noting that despite all that, said french version has a rather hilarious PEGI 7 rating because non-interactive parts were not subject to rating in the PEGI process, 10 years ago at least, so the rating only applies to the bonus minigames. So the box includes an extra warning besides the PEGI one explaining it's definitely not all ages.

Also the Disco Elysium talk made me wonder what a speedrun of the game would look like, and I was almost disappointed by how accurately I guessed exactly what the run would be like and what the build was. Max physical, main skill Shivers for the free +1, rest of the points in INT for like, a single logic check. minor spoilers for the routing: Endurance check the hung body, then immediately knock out Measurehead to meet Clark, ask him to get the body down. Do the autopsy, then read your case file notes for 12 hours, go to sleep. Next morning do the Titus confrontation, get him to tell you about Ruby, read case files for 12 hours and sleep again. Savescum the big Shivers check and the game's pretty much over from there. somewhere in there you grab a tanktop and all the magnesium laying around in trash cans for the checks you plan on failing since you only have one morale, plus you buy a beer, a cigarette, and some speed to give you bonuses on the important checks. Run is just over an hour

There are some real stinkers in there like the Maria level where you have to heal people. yeah...the concepts are sound but a bunch just aren't fun. but i have liked hide and seek with cream and cheese, gathering rings at the circus with tails, the ones where you're taking out a small handful of big objectives like eggman's ships, or where you're chasing down an armored vehicle. an extra special shout out to air fleet, where the dark mission is to kill the president (in a video game).

PS2 emulation is working great on a Surface Pro 4. Dynasty Tactics and Way of the Samurai both load quickly and seem to run well in the brief tests I gave them. I didn't notice any lag or frameskips and both looked beautiful in fullscreen. Playing these on a tablet is the closest I'll ever get to the ideal handheld experience.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:Graveyard Keeper is on sale for like seven bucks on Steam, it's a really cool game. It's like a much smaller-scale version of factorio, where you have a bunch of moving parts that all intersect with each other. You do woodworking to make better tools that you can use to mine stone that you carve into headstones to improve your church which makes more people come to sermons which gets you more Holy Spirit which you convert into alchemy points which you use to research items which gets you massive amounts of experience points which you use on the skill tree to unlock better tools that let you do woodworking faster, which means you can improve your tools faster to significantly increase the rate at which you get stone which means better headstones and that means Thanks for boosting Graveyard Keeper, it’s been on my wishlist awhile, and picked it up after you posted, and it suits me well. I’m looking forward to sinking many hours over the next few days.

shadow would definitely be more fun with a complete save, but when you don't it's a game where they seriously expected you to play it at least 10 times over to get the real ending, despite only having one starting stage and five ending stages (each has two missions and respective endings and to get the other you have to replay the whole game again just to get back to the exact same level).

the most insane aspect of shadow the hedgehog is that there's a unique and titled cutscene compilation for every possible route through the game. There's over 300 of these http://info.sonicretro.org/List_of_Shadow_the_Hedgehog_Library_sequences

Also why I think the original Ryukishi art is v. charming, it's painfully easy to mod the current Higurashi releases on Steam with a variety of patches that update the sprites, add voices, etc. If that is a barrier now for a lot of people it doesn't have to be IMO.

I like the discrepancies between bosses in Shadow the Hedgehog. One of them is Egg Dealer, a quad-wheel robot with a slot machine theme,  and the other one is Black Doom

The one thing I remember from Shadow is being compelled to be evil in most levels because the human guns just felt way better, and the quickest way to get one is to murder a human. Also the Omochao gun was incredible, though the rest of the special weapons were mostly garbage (or very flashy, cool garbage)

I want to see what wackiness is going to be in the additional scenarios in Umineko: Saku. It doesn’t already have 20 pounds of content in a 5 pound bag like Higurashi. They keep moving the release date back though. And chapter 2 of Ciconia but ehhh....

SMT: Noctune HD came out in Japan today and it looks...good, I guess. A ton of PS2 games still look really good if you jack up the resolution in an emulator (FF12 BARELY needed remastering, imo), but the menus are all sleek and have smooth fonts now and look like mobile game menus. I'm reeeaaaaaaly interested if they'll do an English dub at all, since all the cutscenes and some incidental dialogue like fusion and shops are all voice acted now. Unfortunately, the game appears to have some big lag issues during fusion, and they didn't really update the fusion system at all, meaning you still have to enter/exit the menu to reroll your fusion. The text also appears way slower and delays your inputs - I'm watching a Nocturne speedrunner play it now and he's a half-hour behind his usual time, but he's only two hours into the run, so this seems like something that's REALLY gonna add up over a casual playthrough

If they had sped up the menus and stuff is one thing I was hoping to hear, but if they didn’t then I don’t think I’m going to dive back into SMT3 right now. It’s kind of a monster of a game.

both of the people I've watched stream it have complained about the input/menu lag, and they both played on the PS4 version, so I can't imagine how bad the Switch version might be

SD fuzz, a bit like 24/30 fps framerates, has the peculiar property of giving certain things a gravitas or splendor they lose in HD/with faster frame rates.

I finished Heroes of Might & Magic III. This game really didn't need two expansion packs, it all started to get to be the same thing over and over again. Trying to decide if I want to put this franchise on hold for now, and then come back to it for Heroes of Might & Magic V. I had read that Heroes IV should be skipped.

I'm gonna write this out because I need to Ikenfell Overall thoughts: the game was good, but it has some issues that bring it down to a soft recommend. The primary issue is the combat; it's very punishing, and there's a real lack of interplay between your characters and their skills. This lets you swap them out freely without any issue, but it also means that there's no real depth in terms of composition or move combos. Because you're only allowed to have a single turn per character (except for gilda, who owns and is probably the best character in the game) it means that the trap skills aren't super useful and you don't have the ability to combo your skills. In addition, only two characters have the ability to move enemies around and they're both straight line until they hit an object / the wall, so you can't do setups. In terms of characters, I talked about how the game was trying a bit too hard with representation but they relax after the introductions and let the characters breathe a bit. In addition Ima has a rap theme that plays like, twice and it's kind of cringy. Gilda, who I mentioned before, has a unique quirk where she does less damage when she's in hurt / critical health. It's unique and helps connect her character with the combat. Also I didn't mention it but the end of the game sucks rear end, you have to fight two bosses with three phases each, and you're sick of it by the end. The music is pretty good, the art is fine, though the character portraits have some real devart energy. I'd be really interested in seeing them do a sequel or another game where they add some depth to the combat, and more characters like gilda with a story / character > combat connection would be very good.

Aren't the HoM&M games people will endlessly replay over and over with custom or random campaigns? Kinda like Civilization. Hence the expansions.

Rinkles posted:Aren't the HoM&M games people will endless replay over and over with custom or random campaigns? Kinda like Civilization. Hence the expansions. Yeah that is true, I think Heroes III is suppose to be the one with the most customization and accessibility, hence why it is the most popular of the series, followed by HoM&MV, but that being the first 3D game of the series, and pretty old now, it has a lot of issues, and so the impression I get is that fans largely stick to HoM&M III.
