#

This one completely flew under my radar

eager hamlet
#

Maybe Ill just finally get around to playing the Talos principle

rancid token
#

Call of the Sea is a fun little number

eager hamlet
#

Yeah, but I kinda saw Wander play it

#

Actually

#

@stable kindle you said you're playing Fenyx, whats the exploration like in that game?

wraith cradle
#

Apsulov if you want Norse Horror

eager hamlet
#

I dont do horror Im afraid

wraith cradle
#

Np

#

Technically Hellblade has horror

mighty isle
#

isn't hellblade the comic john constantine is from

wraith cradle
#

Nope

#

I also finished Iron Danger and loved it

rancid token
#

Hmmm

#

Jet Lancer is good but intense

eager hamlet
#

Thats Hellblazer

wraith cradle
#

Daedalic also made a quite interesting game called Long Journey home

#

Bought this game during sales as it looked kinda interesting

stable kindle
# eager hamlet <@!181961383200423936> you said you're playing Fenyx, whats the exploration like...

i dont really know how to answer that thonk i mean it doesnt really deviate from your usual open world style exploration? you have a big map, you can go anywhere on it, theres plentiful loot to be had (all of your gear besides the stuff you get at the start is found through chests and specific quests), some chests/vaults may be locked until you get certain god powers, which you can obtain through coins from completing challenges

wraith cradle
#

There was this RPGmaker game I fell in love with the concept

eager hamlet
#

Well moreso in the sense of

#

"Are there hard to reach places that require puzzles or careful manouvering but reward you with something"?

stable kindle
#

late game vaults lol

eager hamlet
#

Hmm

#

Maybe Ill check it out then

wraith cradle
#

In which you controlled a weak NPC of the larger plot but you could ask the heroes to help you and combats were more of resisting before the help arrives. Ah and the game begins with the heroes losing against the final boss, dooming the world and the plot deals with the different characters coping with the end of existence

stable kindle
#

vaults i guess would be similar to botw shrines in concept? again, i dont own a switch so ive never touched botw but theres tartarus vaults all over the map that you jump in and do various challenges. could be fighting arenas, could be complicated puzzles

eager hamlet
#

I mean, Ive not played BotW either

#

Still

#

Ill check it out, I suppose

#

So far no game has truly filled the void Crosscode left

stable kindle
#

i mostly got it because i like the art style for it and i wanted to know more about the characterization and its been fun for me (minus a few specific frustrating vaults lol)

wraith cradle
#

The game is called OH!RPG! btw

#

I actually have a soft spot for RPG maker games

#

Oh, if you want a short, emotional game with puzzles. Play Evan's remains

eager hamlet
#

Oh its 60 bucks

#

Yeesh

polar dragon
#

Never pay full price

eager hamlet
#

I mean

#

Im willing to pay full price if its a developer I trust or a game I know is good

wraith cradle
#

Only two games I paid full 60 bucks in the last three years

#

Death Stranding and RE2R

stable kindle
#

dont think ive paid full price on anything in a few years

wraith cradle
#

Full price non-sixty bucks lots of times tho

#

Like if a new Indie costs less than 23.99 euros I'll probably buy it full price

eager hamlet
#

I have paid full price for TOCS3 and 4, and I think Ys VIII and Origins

dire condor
#

I usually buy full price.

wraith cradle
#

Oy another game to reccomend

#

Omensight

eager hamlet
#

Oh I played that one

#

It was decent

#

But originally it lacked the good ending

wraith cradle
#

Yeah. I'm glad they put that in

#

It also improved in all the criticism of Stories

#

No blalantly repetitive dungeons, no annoying narrator doing voices, better plot....

eager hamlet
#

Their next game is curious

wraith cradle
#

Like seriously having all the characters getting voiced by the same guy was grating af

#

The way he did the falsetto or the raspy tones

#

It got old

#

Yeah the medieval game

#

I'm honestly laughing inside

#

Seeing all the games I had forgotten I had played on my Steam library

#

AND games I had bought and not played

#

Which are depressingly a lot

#

@graceful galleon So the char you're talking about is the Marine

#

He's a really good beginner friendly character, scales well into late game

polar dragon
#

just do rainbow runs

barren mango
#

Gross

polar dragon
#

:c

barren mango
#

I'd sooner do a blessed run before I even do a rainbow run

polar dragon
#

well if you just really want to clear the game

#

rainbow runs aren't bad

barren mango
#

Sure but successful rainbow runs need you to know which weapon/item is the best pick of the bunch

polar dragon
#

well just go until you get clone

#

then it's near impossible to lose

barren mango
#

Or the pig

polar dragon
#

i'm trying to do HS runs now

barren mango
#

Also why even do a rainbow run when PIlot can give you all the gambling fix you could want

polar dragon
#

I hate Pilot because his starting weapon is eh

barren mango
#

Yes but we all know that's not why you pick him

#

It's for that phat shop discount

polar dragon
#

yeah obviously

#

who needs free keys

#

not me

barren mango
#

Just bust open the lock, idiot

polar dragon
#

though the thing the game gets me the most is that I almost always near perfect bosses

#

but usually I take one tick of damage

#

like

#

everytime

#

I hate it

barren mango
#

Say good bye to your perfect chambers, nerd

polar dragon
#

lol

barren mango
#

This bot sux

#

Hunter is also kind of useless in the hands of an experienced player but the bowgun is still really good for early room clears

#

We don't talk about the Convict

polar dragon
#

why though

#

like actually

#

is it a meme because I see that a lot but I just don't get it

graceful galleon
#

I think my farthest run was the mine. Been years since i played

#

There's a mine level right? thanthink

barren mango
#

Yes, that's the 3rd floor

barren mango
#

this bot is going to be the end of me

#

but basically garbage pistol, garbage shotgun, her playstyle needs you to get REALLY close to the enemy (generally a bad idea in the game)

#

and her passive item is super niche

polar dragon
#

oh

#

and here I just like the molotov lol

barren mango
#

Her molotov is the only redeeming feature of her

#

But it's not enough to outweigh her list of cons

#

There are just way more consistent/better performing chars to pick

polar dragon
#

yeah fair

barren mango
#

Her passive wouldn't be that bad but the fact that it NEEDS you to take damage is just a bad trade

polar dragon
#

I like Marine

#

Simple but effective

barren mango
#

Health for a short dmg increase is hardly worth

#

Yeah Marine is pretty much ez clap but he's so consistent

graceful galleon
#

I need to start playing it again

#

I barely remember anything about the game lol

barren mango
#

I can throw down some tips so you can play more consistently

graceful galleon
#

hit me

polar dragon
#

dew it

barren mango
#
  1. Marine best boi
  2. Green chests and upwards give the best bang for your buck. Keys should be mostly used for those.
  3. Each time you start a floor, you will always start with two blanks. They don't carry over, so the best time to use these is during boss fights or if you know you're going to take a hit.
  4. Be selective when you dodge roll. Sometimes it's better to just walk around the bullets than to spam dodge rolls (also because you can't control your character for a brief moment after you land)
  5. Really practice all 3 bosses for each floor. Perfecting them by taking no damage gives you an item that basically gives you an extra heart container. (Use your good guns, use blanks, do everything you can to prevent any damage). Git Gud.
  6. Shoot a chest once to reveal whether it's a mimic or not. DO NOT USE A KEY ON A MIMIC OTHERWISE IT'LL EAT IT and you'll get hurt. Killing the mimic however gives you the item in the chest.
#

@graceful galleon This should be enough to start

polar dragon
#

I used to download a maxed save and do boss rush over and over again

#

To get that Master Round

#

I'm not perfect but at least I'm a lot more consistent

#

Also this works well for me, I like to take every secret floors possible. More floors = stronger run.

#

But idk if this is against conventional wisdom or not

graceful galleon
#

solid tips! thanks mate

barren mango
#

Well he should learn the fundamentals before discovering secrets

polar dragon
#

yeah fair

barren mango
#

But yes eventually you'll want to get in on those secret floors since they'll basically give you more chances on items that'll carry over

#

In addition to point 2, brown/blue chests are "okay" but you'll feel sort of bad lul

#

But green chests are what you want

graceful galleon
#

yea imma start a run after work

#

how about if the game only give you brown chests on the first level?

#

should you waste key or

barren mango
#

If your starter weapon is garbage like the pilot or convicts, then probably

#

Or you could just deal with it and trudge through the next floor

#

I've done both

graceful galleon
#

aight

barren mango
#

It's very possible to beat the first boss with the starter weapon

graceful galleon
#

I remember the hunter has a good starting weapon, plus, corgis are always a win

barren mango
#

It's a drag but it's doable

#

Corgi can also warn you if the chest is a mimic

#

But the tip I just gave you kind of nullifies the one selling point of dog

#

Also the pedestal that shows up carrying the post boss rewards can also be a mimic

#

Same rules as last time, shoot them once

polar dragon
#

If Corgi can bark when you are near a secret room that would be hella swell

barren mango
#

Sometimes I pop open secret rooms by using a blank during combat

#

Apparently if you analyze the cracks in the wall you can tell but I'm not that good

i need a description

With the caveat that it's basically an art direction on wheels. But as minimalist atmospheric puzzle platformers go, I think it's lovely!

wraith cradle
#

Same with Stella

#

It's basically the LIMBO genre

#

To say it in a way

#

Ok, just watching my steam library I got anxious

quartz latch
#

I think I have Stella wishlisted! Looking forward to it. And yeah same, I want to play my entire backlog at the same time.

Great, was gonna choose it most likely anyways

@zenith mantle moving over from fan works but the gods were cursed by typhon, and their questlines to restore them involves delving into like their deepest insecurities and stuff. in ares's case, its his acceptance that perhaps his father was right all along and he is a disappointment. to which fenyx exudes zag energy and goes "actually i will fix this brb"

zenith mantle
#

noooooo ares shadegrief

#

i hope things turn out better for him

#

but oh boy god therapist simulator sounds really wild im really interested in fenyx rising now

stable kindle
#

[through gritted teeth] zeus... (derogatory)

wraith cradle
#

Zeus? Being an Arse?

#

More likely than you think

stable kindle
#

oh no thats expected

#

but imo what impresses me is they pulled it off in a way that its entertaining while still pointing out how awful he is. prometheus serves that role in the narration and continually calls zeus out for his actions

#

often times, whether its a movie or game or something, generally zeus tends to handled in... a more positive light, where his bad deeds are brushed off or made out to be meaningless, so i just appreciated that while they took the comical route, they dont gloss over "hey this was pretty screwed up dude"

zenith mantle
#

ooooh

#

im honestly v interested in fenyx rising after seeing hades fandom people share screenshots of the story dialogue

#

and also bc i heard its a lot like botw

stable kindle
#

ive never played botw bc i dont own a switch but iirc the devs were inspired by botw, certainly

#

i have also seen a lot of people proceed to brush the game off as a "ripoff" tho

#

or overlook it bc the character designs arent as hot as hades LOL

#

the dialogue really makes it stand out to me though, im really big on characterization so interesting takes pull me in and the game did exactly that

#

the gameplay is fun but i cant comment too much on it because my computer is actually lacking on requirements so i run on lowered settings with occasional framerate drops ๐Ÿคช

#

im sure i would enjoy it more if it were buttery smooth haha but ive enjoyed it regardless

zenith mantle
#

aw oof about the framerate drops

#

i might look into getting fenyx if it isnt too expensive, i need a distraction from genshin shfhsj

#

yeah the character designs arent a strong point in fenyx i agree, but i think their take on hermes is adorable and the writing is really fun

stable kindle
#

i wasnt too into the designs but their personalities made up for it and im fond of them

graceful galleon

so i just whipped out my 3ds yesterday

^^^

#

the thing with Blizz is: they try to balance the game as a CASUAL game
Activision, wanting to have esports as the main thing for the game they want it balanced around being COMPETITIVE (which is most of us kinda want the game to look like)

lusty turret
polar dragon
#

Blizz as in Blizzard?

floral warren
#

yep

polar dragon
#

I don't think they balance games for casual though

#

Even pre activision merge

floral warren
#

they use Quickplay data for balancing

#

and see, in 2019 there was GOATs, and every single Damage character was buffed to the max

#

and when they did Role Queue in late 2019 , they forgot that they made that

tame veldt
#

my problem with blizzard is that they have this reputation of "Blizzard polish" so patches take a year to come out. and games take 10 years

polar dragon
#

Ok you are talking OW specifically

floral warren
#

yes

#

it was HELL

polar dragon

Because SC balancing wasn't casual at all xD

aww, I like it when games go "you can do it!"

Heres a fun fact: final boss (lord of cinder) song doesnโ€™t have any dark note

oh ๐Ÿ‘€

and the song itself is kinda sad

(lemme real quick just say this: bioshock infinite's covers of popular songs in ye olde style are so cool. and I know it's just edited to sound like an old record, but the menu song is my fave)

#

that sounds like an emotional final boss battle ngl

Mind you I havenโ€™t finished the game yet

I died 15 times going to a small boss yet I did it!

Feels like an accomplishment when you do it

i mean - heck - as much as i love SGGs games i even got burned out on preordering transistor

cause it had some MAJOR performance issues for me in the first few days
and once they fixed that (pretty quick i might add) i had to start the whole game from beginning just to soak it all in

it was a great game, but

So. Iโ€™m a little orphan now that I kinda finished my objectives in hades. Suggestions of games with good stories and fun to play

twin yarrow
#

Skyrim on release was also a buggy mess with flying horses, weird AI behaviour and what not.. heck, it still is.. but that doesn't mean that's one of the most significant games of the decade, i should say

#

let's see, good story and fun to play.. that depends on the genre

#

also, i try not to wait for Silksong that much, even though there's nothing much for the authors to screw up, but one and a half years of waiting is already too much

true flint
twin yarrow
#

speaking of Obsidian.. what about Tyranny? afaik, it has a huge story and classic rpg gameplay

next jacinth
#

I was thinking Chaos Bane

wraith cradle
#

It helps that Skyrim is so moddable that its community has singehandely kept it relevant

mighty isle
#

the kid icarus: of myths and monsters manual refers to pit with the three sacred treasures as "Amazing Pit"

#

manual: refers to specific rooms as 'chambers'
me: haha nice h

ebon spear
#

Of Myths and Monsters was a wild game.

mighty isle
#

is it?

#

i havent played it but it gives me the vibes that it is sun

#

shame that uprising literally doesn't acknowledge it at all

#

(though there's a reason for it- it didn't release in japan until it was slapped on virtual console like a month before kiu came out)

#

but some redesigns of some ofthat game's enemies could've been fun

#

wow according to divinipedia they didn't even rename the game for said vc release (the series isn't called kid icarus in japan)

#

actually funnily enough the japanese name for uprising is just the japanese name for the first game but with โ€œnewโ€ in front

#

one (1) official nintendo publication announced a โ€œsuper kid icarusโ€ in the 90s but literally name-dropped it and nothing else, and it was never mentioned again

ebon spear
#

Well, if I recall correctly, Of Myths and Monsters wasn't developed by the same folks as the original game, so a lot of the lore is even weirder.

#

It makes total sense to me that none of the game events were referenced in Uprising, it's all "ambiguously canon content".

mighty isle
#

it doesn't really contradict any lore, not that the first game had that much lore to contradict anyway

#

they did redesign and rename a good chunk of the enemies for absolutely no reason though

fervent gyro
polar dragon
#

Damn, a gaming journal article on Hades that is actually good instead of trashy tier list?
Is this even legal?

fervent gyro
#

Fun fact - I found it on Facebook, as it was posted by 11 bit Studios (Creators of This War of Mine and Frostpunk).

#

So they apparently have a good taste for such things, which is nice. Also, I was surprised that they posted about Hades (recommending to play it as it's "one of the best #indiegames of 2020" in their opinion). It's nice to see one indie studio showing love to another indie studio in such a way.

Brutal Legend was awesome. Lots of people are clamouring for a sequel, especially with Jack Black involved in Tim Schafer's later games too, but I don't think that will be their next project after Psychonauts 2, they want to do something brand new to change it up after working for so long on a sequel.

i dont feel like editing this together but i can just write one out
favorite game of all time: i am TERRIBLE at picking favorites of anything so i'll skip this one
best story: dang that's a tough one, there's several things that can make a story good
favorite art style: AAAA TOO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM.... some standouts in no particular order include jet set radio, smile for me, lumino city, detective grimoire and tangle tower (technically those last two are in the same series but there's a notable difference in art style between the two)
"I'll finish it some day": psychonauts. i got to the meat circus and got intimidated
big personal impact: man i don't know...the mother games maybe? specifically 2/earthbound and 3
best combat: ohhh man idk thats tricky...
you like, but everyone hates: pokemon shield, the yokai watch games (yokai watch isnt necessarily 'everyone hates' but people seem to dunk on it a lot)
you hate, but everyone likes: pokemon go
underrated: tadpole treble
overrated: ocarina of time
"why do i like this?": any of the boring-ass puzzle games i play
game you always come back to: ...gungeon maybe? i don't really replay games
That atmosphere...: return of the obra dinn
Bad Day Cure: grindstone, sometimes picross
Favorite Protagonist: murder by numbers, grim fandango, jenny leclue detectivu, day of the tentacle, borderlands the pre-sequel (SPECIFICALLY aurelia)...
After Work Relaxation: various puzzle games
Biggest Letdown: dust: an elysian tail. like all the steam reviews were "OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS SO AMAZING" and i played it and it was really boring
"Back in the day" game: im not sure what this means but im gonna go with Disney Universe on xbox 360
"Not the best, but I'm having fun": nefarious
Criminally Overlooked: wuppo
Depressing Game: hollow knight (i actually couldnt get very far in the game because of this, it just made me upset to play)

#

i certainly don't remember what my first video game was

tranquil kelp
#

how would they remember it if it's forgotten

#

if they forgot it it probably wasn't memorable on any level tbh

#

First games were educational computer ones at school like Adibu and Granny's Garden.

twin yarrow
#

i clearly remember playing Duck Hunt, when i've turned 4, and parents bought first NES clone with a 99 in 1 cartridge

#

it was first in the list

tranquil kelp
#

haha

twin yarrow
#

well.. considering modern kids start playing earlier than walking, i can believe, that first game ever can be forgotten

tranquil kelp
#

"that game for cats where you tap the insects"

twin yarrow
#

sorta

wraith cradle

or first PC game (other than Minesweeper)

#

good old Mario.. even though the series is so old, still he brings memories to many generations

(excuse the poor slapped on together, I'm using photoshop at 3am)

#

feel free to critique my "based" opinion on the games mentioned above

#

burial at sea ayyy so true (also yay dishonored (2)!!)

floral warren
#

people say "oh no, 2020 was (Insert something bad)"
but for me.. 2020 was the year I was really really introduced to masterpieces

thorny umbra
#

I feel like I can't do this because I'd leave half the squares empty, BUT it would also be funny to see how many of my fave games folks know of ๐Ÿคฃ

floral warren
#

Dishonored, Bioshock, DOOM, SGGames

#

If it weren't for quarantine, and my friends... I wouldn't knew these games.

thorny umbra
#

yeah, 2020 did have some highlights squirtyay

floral warren
#

the latter is mine and only me tho

#

2020's games might be the games I will remember forever
Doom eternal , hades, CP77

#

I cannot stop thinking about these three games

cp 77's|| Never fade away is the paper boats of cp77||

#

dw it's not a spoiler per se

#

|| the guitar riffs come in, and here is the sobbing come through ,every. single. time||

#

we'll never fade away

wraith cradle
#

2020 ended with Omori

#

Quite a dignified game ending

floral warren
#

That feels undertale-y with an old Final fantasy style recipe

wraith cradle
#

AR:2 comes in 4 days, nice

#

It's actually quite far from Undertale, tho

floral warren
#

the mature content description is... fascinating

#

I spent what i've had for SGGames and invisible inc.

wraith cradle
#

The Warning description is truly a Morton's fork

floral warren
#

the game looks aesthetic tho

wraith cradle
#

You spoil your own game to warn the viewers or you don't and some feel uncomfortable

floral warren
#

sure
added to wish list

#

if this game is another one that || digs a bigger void more than fill it|| , tell me

wraith cradle
#

It's cathartic

#

Am derp, what is AR:2?

wraith cradle

Atelier Ryza 2

#

2020 had a few select good games but I'd say its the weakest year since at least 2016, if not longer

floral warren
#

2016 games was fine
was it?

#

2015 was the year imo

#

MGSV , W3 , these two in one year

#

and you have platformer year aka 2017

eager hamlet
#

Oh 2016 actually had some pretty good games

#

Guess 2020 is weaker than 2016 as well

floral warren
#

at least 2016 had a hyped-up game and got insta GOTY

#

everyone got what they wanted in 2016

#

Souls? yep
Stealth? yep
Naughty dog game? yep
Remember Pokemon go? that was 2016

twin yarrow
#

oh goodness

#

Pokรฉmon Go.. I've remembered all the stuff happening around it

#

people got arrested for catching them in the places they shouldn't be in

floral warren
#

I still remember when I was on that Overwatch hype train and was playing every single free weekend

twin yarrow
#

game impossible in 2020

floral warren
#

Iโ€™m maybe looking back from a rose tinted glasses, but 2016 had a lot of great games that some people still discover and play till this day

I really want to be in that Souls friends circle

#

Iโ€™m too much of a little brother to finish it on my own

#

So I got four people to help me

#

I decided to leave it for a bit cuz I got that one โ€œbut story is importantโ€ kinda guy and heโ€™s maybe right

#

rn Iโ€™m tackling the yakuza series and Control

graceful galleon
#

Yakuza is great

#

only played 0, 1, and 2 so far. What a ride

floral warren
#

I saw it with my friend

Apperantly there was a side quest on ||how to become a good bdsm-er||
I lost it when I saw Kiryu helping out

#

and I also did the โ€œmemeโ€ when I saw the first karaoke

graceful galleon
#

Kiryu has a heart of gold, he'll help anyone with anything ๐Ÿคฃ

#

the ||Michael jackson|| quest is also wild

polar dragon

Apex?

#

God, I'm dying For Control 2

eager hamlet
#

TF2

#

Oh I guess thats a class not hero shooter

#

Uh

#

Paladins exists

#

But for a game like Gigantic, yeah

#

It doesnt exist

#

Sorry

tame veldt

Because it doesn't exist (Yet)

tame veldt
# eager hamlet TF2

tf2 is a weird game, i want to play it more but it's only fun with friends

eager hamlet
#

There are a few fan project that try to recreate Gigantic but none are anywhere near finished

#

Could try Spellbreak

tame veldt
eager hamlet
#

It has a non-battle royale gamemode

tame veldt
#

didn't know that

#

also what happened to gigantic

eager hamlet
#

It died

#

I mean long story short it never got big enough to sustain itself

tame veldt
#

it was the best hero shooter that's how i know that has to be a lie.

right...?

Sometimes good games just don't get a following, or they fail behind the scenes

wraith cradle
#

Multiplayer only games go big or crash spectacularly

twin yarrow
#

like titanfall

tame veldt
wraith cradle
#

Rooster teeth ultra hyped game that used all their content creaturs to promote

tame veldt
#

never heard of it

wraith cradle
tame veldt
#

wow

#

ok

#

only thing that comes up when i look it up is that old youtube series company. they were kinda like smosh

wraith cradle
#

Rooster teeth is quite big

#

The thing is their game crashed and burned because they promoted horribly and the game wasn't that unique

tame veldt
#

like valo did with twitch

wraith cradle
#

Oh and was a paid multiplayer game

Farewell

No further debts to be paid

All falls away

wait they havent said even one thing?

lmao

#

RE8 is giving mad RE4-2 vibes and I'm here for it

mighty isle
#

i understand that covid n all but NOTHING???

fathom juniper
#

yeyeye - even the devs said they're bringing in a lot of RE4 influences into this one

mighty isle
#

oh fun

rancid token
#

My only concern is that, with the rumors of an RE4 remake, it feels weird to be treading similar ground

floral warren
#

Talk about "radio silent"

mighty isle
#

i mean even the name is kind of Evocative of re4's setting, right?

fathom juniper
#

gothic horror, european setting, attache case PES_CowboyLove , a new merchant - it's all here

floral warren
#

they literally meant it

fathom juniper
#

the village

i havent played any of the re games

exactly

mighty isle

ayyy nice

#

i played...
let me count

#

Village, a prominent castle, a ritual

fathom juniper
#

8 or 9 re games

#

i've lost count

mighty isle
#

i still think re7's subtitles are amazing

#

in english it's RESIDENT EVIL 7: BIOHAZARD and then in japan it's BIOHAZARD 7: RESIDENT EVIL

fathom juniper
#

oh it's been like that since 1996

rancid token
#

Yeah, they brought it back in line in a cool way

#

Yakuza 7 did the same thing

mighty isle
#

yeah i know its called biohazard but the fact that they subtitled it the other language's name

fathom juniper
#

oh you mean that subtitle

mighty isle
#

yea

fathom juniper
#

i thought you meant the typos in the game's subtitles pepeLUL2

#

cause there's some

rancid token
#

I remember

#

When Resident Evil 4 on Steam

mighty isle
#

i think subtitle as in "captions but without the sound effects" and subtitle as in "title after the title" should be different words

rancid token
#

Was titled "resident evil 4"

fathom juniper
#

the judgmenent painting
yeah i remember that too pepeLUL2

mighty isle
#

because its very hard to context clues which one they meant

#

i think on switch it still isn't capitalized

#

its not supposed to be, i dont think?

fathom juniper
#

i dunno folks

rancid token
#

Right, but every other game is

fathom juniper
#

my boxed copy still says "4 resident evil"

fathom juniper
#

EXACTLY

rancid token

So it looked horrible in the library

you mean there's 4 RE games in there? PoggersHype
