everything about Horace can be summed up with an agonized "why?" why did you take up an entire chapter with a time-traveling adventure that ends with you fighting an ancient egyptian robot? why have shops and upgrade mechanics and then make them inaccessible for great whacks of the game? why the metroidvania? why make an another chapter consist of nothing but the difficult/annoying arcade game "homages" that were totally optional up to that point? why so many rhythm section challenges? why the sudden gradius-esque boss? why stealth sections? why escort missions? why escort missions with the stealth sections?

yahtzee is rightfully maligned but he was bang on the money when he described this game as its developer's baby - it's this bloated tribute to every single thing that they ever enjoyed watching or playing, and it becomes totally exhausting as a result

It's also the next free game on Epic! :v:

The Atelier Dusk Trilogy is out on steam, and it's the DX edition with all the tweaks and improvements that weren't in the original game. I need to finish Sophie before I pick it up, but as I understand it, the Dusk Trilogy is one of the best starting points for the entire franchise. Each game in the trilogy is mostly standalone, but set in the same slowly dying world.

e: Let me be clear about what this game is: Chill item-focused jrpg that is slice of life in a slowly dying world, with a melancholy feel. I've never heard of anything like it. Most apocalypse fiction is about traumatic events or how to rebuild society, not quietly watching the world die.

Atelier is a series I've always wanted to check out but then panic about which one to start with and then end up buying something else. Repeat endlessly. I've heard Ryza's real good and the Dusk Trilogy is good too. Maybe if I stick it at the top of my wanted list and not deviate.

They pushed out updates to all other platforms that included Act V, if you're not seeing it have you tried re-downloading?

They don't charge separately for acts on the PC so it would be weird to only have up to Act IV

I wish they had a middle tier for choices. I'd do it for 4 games: Eliza, Underhero, Shenzen i/o, Okami. I've played like 2 seconds of Okami and the rest seem good.

I would recommend that you skip Ultra Despair Girls. I started watching a playthrough because I heard the gameplay was mediocre (it's a third person shooter, not a Phoenix Wright-esque game), but skipped out fast once they started using child abuse for character building on characters who are still literally children. Wish someone would have warned me about that beforehand.

I'm gonna 2nd this. I just watched a youtube video for the plot points and moved on. If you really want the total story, play DR 1 and 2. Watch Despair Girls on Youtube\read summary. Watch DR 3 anime. That actually ends the original DR timeline. V3 is considered a whole new thing.

To pick back up on an old thing, I've been itching for a "you're ridiculously overpowered and basically spend the game terrorizing the enemy" game like Crysis but all I've got is Crysis 2. :(

It must be noted that Wings of Vi follows in the style of I Wanna Be The Guy platformers. There is, indeed, some slighy leeway when traversing, but you're still going to get destroyed every few seconds. Your enjoyment of the game will depend totally on whether you enjoy this type of challenge.

Otherwise, just watch a speedrun. There was a GDQ speedrun a few years ago and it was a really enjoyable watch.

Wings of Vi's creator Solgryn basically exists for 2 things: Huge tiddies and ridiculous platformers. He did the "i wanna be the boshy" game and that is literally pixel perfect bullshit. I hear his new one is more of this as well.

Yeah I'm not getting that vibe at all. It very much looks like an expanded version of the original's starting arc with some characters and events introduced earlier due to the episodic structure

I think it comes from Aerith's mentioning of the 1st person she ever loved, some of the quick shots leading you to the idea this is happened before. It's been since the original release so I'm not even sure if that stuff is in the original or not.

Aside from the obvious Hitman 2, molek-syntez and maybe Raiden IV are cool looking. If I didn't have a poo poo ton of games to play, I'd maybe consider the low tier of choice for those 3. :shrug: It's hard to be excited when Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing, FF7 and RE3 are out\coming out soon.

I sat back down with AssCreed Origins after all the talk. Holy poo poo that was fun. I'm just getting to Alexandria but I'm having a blast. So far, my only complaint is the flashback felt a bit slow since I couldn't scale the mountain to get where I wanted to quicky. :shrug:

My favorite thing about AC Origins/Odyssey is that they are fully-featured open-world RPGs. Mind you, not much in the way of dialogue choices, but you level up, find cool loot, do quests, and explore a massive world and really get into your character and it's really good! The actual plots are pretty good too - Bayek's quest to get revenge on the people who killed his son is emotionally gripping, and Kassandra is a force of chaos moving through Greece.

Which is to say, someday I'll play the older ACs, but they're very different games with different focuses on plot/gameplay/everything. This has upset one of my friends, as he misses when the games were more realistic and not RPGs.

I'm just getting to Alexandria proper and I'm all about murderin the people who killed his son. I liked AssCreed 2 but if they'd started with this gameplay system, I think I'd have played them all by now.

Not surprised about crunching since every movie/game studio does that, but incredibly disappointed about the transphobia. I am looking in to it now. I assume it’s something to do with Cyberpunk 2077 and the options to customize your body however you want which led to some bad tweets?

The company twitter was run by a goobergummy loving rear end in a top hat. They fired him and I think all of that decreased. People aren't happy with some of the tone on Cyberpunk information but it's "better"

Oh God all my gear has XP bars and I have to put 7 different skills into reasonable combat chains as if I have some clue what I'm doing where's the manual! And I guess there's a plot there as well, seems interesting,

For how much I gripe about when RPGs only drip-feed you one ability at a time... I'm out of practice with instantly processing this stuff.

Since Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games, I have to add my unnecessary $0.02.

I have ADHD. I can get lost in a paper bag. Hollow Knight's map system is slightly bad. The purchasable decals make it better but it needs a "You are here" pointer as well. If I entered a new area, my immediate priority was finding Cornelius. I'm really hoping Silksong has some QOL improvements for that part.

If you have the Itch bundle and like Visual Novels, anything by Ebihime is a go. They make pretty good short VNs. They're usually lesbian works but not always.

also, if you use Playnite, just click Download without grabbing the actual files and Playnite will add them to your library.
