lana del rey, huh

#

they should've used the iconic opening line of her hit song 'cola'

#

but yeah looks good

#

didn't even notice it's coming in may

#

ok i just watched it, it is very cool

#

even tho i dont know anything about james bond lmao i guess i can send it to my parents who like it LOL

#

after seeing more of blazer i think i can get behind that but the start of the game is just so rocky

but i looked at the fandom and i am all about some of those ships. and also very not about some of them

I got to an emotional point on Pragmata

#

then my game crashed

#

Cheer up

#

Yesterday I was getting emotional on the ending of shadow warrior and the main villain spawned halfway through a floor in a last cutscene

#

So he did his whole monologue while barely sticking out the floor

#

yesterday i did the most basic task of slicing bread and i did it really badly. so really it could be worse

dont worry im making more food so i have one more shot at slicing bread badly

man

#

i cant wait until the switch 1 reaches end of life

#

so i can easily mod it

#

but that's probably going to be happening in about 2028

tame veldt
#

its contingent on having a first gen switch last i checked tho

#

who knows if later gens will ever be homebrewable tho considering a lot of ps3s can only get the hen cfw

#

unless u mean hardmodding lol

ocean iris
#

I got like, an uhh

#

normal switch one but not first gen

#

it's that one harder to crack

#

Pragmata is such a capcom game

tame veldt
lofty owl
#

Ugh wow Nier soundtracks hit like hooks to the gut

tame veldt
#

looks like its possible on later gens but u need to hardmod

ocean iris
#

best thing now is to wait for security updates to cease

#

because damn, imagine how cool would it be to have a modded switch

#

i can play like the entire damned nintendo library up until the switch 1 itself

tame veldt
ocean iris
#

also mostly because i dont wanna drop big bucks on another portable device lmao

tame veldt
#

when i hacked my 3ds i couldnt get off of it lol

tame veldt
ocean iris
#

man i want a 3ds so bad but it's so expensive nowadays, just as expensive as back in the day

tame veldt
#

omg yes

#

its insane

#

i wanted to get another just in case mine dies but its more expensive than a switch

ocean iris
#

tbh imagine emulating a 3ds game on the switch
lowkey it would be the next best thing

#

though emulating a 3ds on PC isnt that bad either

#

unless it's a game that really wants you to use the touch screen

#

which I doubt there are many

tame veldt
tame veldt
#

i played mgs 3 on the 3ds and u have to use the touch screen to aim

#

its bad....

#

and also games like tomodachi life only have touch controls

#

metroid prime hunters requiring you to use the touchpad to look around

ocean iris
#

well to be fair, if i wanted to play MGS3 with crouch walk Id just get mgs delta

now that I can hopefully run it

ah crap, cant be arsed

also ive been playing metroid dread on an emulator

drakengard is wild and i love it a lot

Drakengard 3 is also the most "polish" and bugged game in the drakengard series

they always have

#

hello logan how's that Replaced game?

green scaffold
#

I'm like ...4.5 chapters deep? And to sum it up nicely, visual style is both blessing and a curse! Veeeery pretty, game looks absolutely stunning and with fixed camera game has it's also very cinematic, but it does create few problems, camera is positioned too low in combat in my opinion, sometimes it's hard to read if enemy is placed in foreground where you fight on background, lighting does provide that problem too. Platformic sections suffer from fixed camera, hard to spot a lone tiny pole to swing off or spot to nab a pickaxe on in dark areas

#

Combat is...okay, and I dunno if that is intentional because game is about AI inside human body or not, but your movement does feel sluggish and very delayed

mystic wave
#

hows the writing and vibes

green scaffold
#

Vibes are peak dare I say, perhaps I wanted a bit more neon-y cyberpunk (maybe it's later on) but the post-apocalypse wasteland and ruined city I encountered so far were nice too. Writing is nothing special, I mean you can tell right off the start game is about AI learning all the human stuff and probably ending up realizing it did plenty of bad stuff. You land in a town where there is bit of a power conflict and rest is just "here is a bad gang, deal with them to help us" thingie

mystic wave
#

ahh

green scaffold
#

Game has some good lore though, it's alternate history from 1945's but has some real stuff like how Phoenix Corp is behind Kennedy assassination or Watergate scandal while in their rise for power

#

So in short, audiovisuals peak, vibes are nice, combat and platformer bits mediocre

#

But I dunno if I even beat half of it so ya know, this is more of a "first impression"

mystic wave
#

i think i showed you before but i hope you try Sanabi after!

green scaffold
#

You did! And I added it to my Steam wishlist PanThumbsUp

#

But well, on Steam I'm pretty much in constant state of beating games and magically getting something new so my backlog is always there PanSweatSmile

mystic wave
#

also speaking of vibes, this VN has this glossary function. character brings up a term and you can click on it to see the glossary entry. at one point i was reading and then it abruptly says "please enable crumbs to read further" and this lets you go to the "crumbs" glossary page

green scaffold
#

Oh hey Replaced has similar thingie too! Basically something close to a "walkman" which acts as a journal (objectives/tips/scanned items are there) and it's very 80's so it adds to setting too

So... Pragmata doesn't allow you to play NG+ on hardest difficulty

#

it's gotta be normal NG

So far, aside from more health and damage, some enemies have additional moves

also you can get endgame weapons from the start

i know someone who only bought games that had less than 10 reviews

anyway that one game on your wishlist that has like 200 reviews and they’re mixed but you’re super interested in it? get it. maybe you will like it anyway because all reviews are subjective

to a point. people also have different tolerances for jank and preferences for mechanics and storylines i guess

also what time gated conversations? 👀

lofty owl
#

Oh yeah! I understand the in-universe mechanics of it (especially since I read some discussions on it 😆 ), but I'm not sure what to make of the overall themes

echo hazel

#

On ||Ember Twin, Chert has things to say as the sun steadily progresses toward supernova. Plus you can inform others of your findings||

echo hazel
#

we're very insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe, and that's totally fine!

echo hazel
lofty owl
#

I think you're spot on with your summary of the theme. It's just that that bothers me deeply since I rely heavily on an ultimate being saying "I know you, and I love you"

#

The poor anxious astronauts made me so sad!

#

They're so cute! But so anxious and/or nervous!

#

The game itself is a hilarious juxtaposition of cuteness and like...horror

echo hazel
lofty owl
#

Yeah!

#

I also felt so bad every time I bumped a floating ||Nomai corpse||

echo hazel
#

that's the point i started to consider the ending won't be about ||saving our own galaxy||

lofty owl
#

Judging by the title screen and title theme and introduction, I really expected something cozier. Not that it didn't have its cozy moments, but still!

echo hazel
#

yeah that's why the first ||supernova|| made me so damn flabbergasted

I mean the game starts off with roasting marshmallows! 😭

# lofty owl Outer Wilds DLC whyyyyyyy 😭

You complete it? I don’t know if this is obvious, but there are some interesting notes about the DLC ending (once you have seen it of course). ||You can’t complete the DLC with a true game over, which means that the DLC doesn’t happen outside of the Ash Twin project, meaning it never ‘actually’ happens. If you try to complete the DLC after terminating the Ash Twin project, a specific step will immediately give you a game over screen describing a different outcome. In my opinion this muddies the situation at the end of the DLC, but that isn’t really important as the DLC ending can’t be ‘real’ alongside the main ending anyways.|| Still, make sure to redo the main game ending after completing the DLC.

Death Stranding was supossed to be like that from the start

that entire expansion is one of my favorite stories in gaming as well

Troy baker and laura bailey and nolan north make up like 90% of 2010s gaming

I want a game with the balancing of Helldivers 2, Monetisation of Paradox games, UE5 engine, optimisation of a japanese game pc port, ranked experience of for honor, soundtrack like resident evil director's cut and gameplay of vanilla bethesda games

i feel like i see him less tbh

#

or hear

hearty yarrow
#

Also I think keanu isnt even remotely the issue of cyberpunk

rustic falcon
#

iirc troy baker doesnt have a very big range but he is a good actor

hearty yarrow
#

I think the main plot is worse than quite some of the sidequests but keanu fits well and his bits dont make the plot bad

rustic falcon
#

isnt his acting kind of mid in it tho

rustic falcon
#

i heard he was a great harrison ford in indiana jones

hearty yarrow
# hearty yarrow It kinda fits the character

Anyway like keanu plays a remorseful guy who refuses to admit his guilt and is holding most of the truth back, who is supposed to be dead. His held back acting with only occasional harsh reactions fits the character well I think

rustic falcon
#

yeah ofc, sometimes the range is not the most important part but what you do well

thorny shoal
rustic falcon
#

matt mercer has insane range but he does get "narrower" roles

thorny shoal
#

his Joker surprised me (not on level of Hamill but who is)

#

his indiana jones is great too

rustic falcon
#

unlike critrole where you hear that he could play literally anyone

hearty yarrow
#

I think the issue with cyberpunk is mostly that the plot doesn't do enough with the setting it's in whereas the side stuff sometimes does way more interesting things, like the politician who is being brainwashed by the tech of that world where you have to decide whether it's better to make him paranoid by telling him the truth or whether it is better to leave him be and such

#

Those are more interesting choices and parts of the world than a lot of the main plot

#

To me

rustic falcon
#

overscoping and overpromising as a result will hurt any game the most

hearty yarrow
#

It's not even that to me it's just that I wanna see more of the messed up world this takes place in than the main quest shows me

#

It's too narrow and limited to kinda just johnny and v

#

Also the backgrounds do nothing

#

You start somewhere in a prologue and within 10mins every prologue is at the exact same spot

#

What's the point

#

Even dragon age veilguard has your faction choice hold some relevance when you meet that faction later the most you get in cyberpunk is like one background specific quest that doesnt do anything

Im not

"Director's Cut meant the composer's salary"

ocean iris
#

So basically Capcom couldnt deliver RE2 on time so to quench the RE thirst they made Director's Cut. And Replaced the soundtrack with a "composer" that supossedly was "deaf", he was known as Japan's Beethoven. In 2014 he was found to not be a composer and NOT deaf

clear python
#

LOL

ocean iris
# clear python LOL

And apparently for this specific track, they messed up the soundfont, it wasnt supossed to be trumpets

#

And basically that composer being a ruse, had an actual composer behind him and a skeleton crew of 3 guys editing the soundtrack
