Remember your magic items, most of them can trivialize one of the knights in one way or another.

I can't find the kickstarter thread but I just saw someone is trying to get an Apocalypse Now game funded with Coppola's blessing. It doesn't look like it'll reach it's target and their pitch seems pretty bad. I just want to make sure people have been laughing at the idea of some 5 million dollar Apocalypse Now RPG

They're really stiff and nothing flows very well, it's like they haven't realised they're not using digitised actors anymore.

steam direct is the new system and apparently you have to pay a fee like 5000$ to get your game on steam, which is bad

Yeah. They should roll back the last 3 years of releases too, and also get rid of Early Access.

There's a video someone made around mk9's release where he edited in hitstop and it makes a huuuge difference.

Direct worries me. In the book publishing world, a publisher asking for a fee to pub your book is a red flag. I hope Valve doesn't set an example for Amazon and other platforms to follow. That will end up muddying the waters and make discerning legit platforms from scammers more difficult.

I'm also concerned about small dev businesses like Spiderweb, Basilisk Games, and Shining Rock. Little studios doing more than lazy Rpg Maker poo poo don't always have the margins to support a fee like this.

I wish they would have put in the effort required to make Greenlight a positive thing instead of the festering garbage heap it is, but the current situation is untenable. Direct seems bad but I don't think it's worse than the status quo.

oh poo poo, I completely missed that CaptainSparklez finished the quadrilogy of his Minecraft music videos/movie. If ever there was a Minecraft movie on the big screen, I'd love for it to be something like this, because it took the Minecraft style and setting and really improved upon it, particularly the way the heads are designed, and the Nether. The way he made the Zombie Pigmen something more than just Nether denizens was a great touch. His animation skills definitely improved over the years too, and the songs are mostly great as well, especially Find The Pieces. He uploaded an all-in-one video for ease of watching, too.

Can't say I really expected that ending. Usually it's the father who dies, sacrificing himself so his children may live on. Liked it a lot more than the Telltale game's take on Minecraft, that's for sure.

Are you sure you're at the final dungeon? i.e: YHWH's Universe, not the dungeon before it?

Because like, it's really not hard to understand. It's a visually bland overly-convoluted teleport maze dungeon full of no-threat enemies, doors that are locked by stats, you can't recruit demons anymore, and even if you're level 99 there are random encounters you can't nullify. Almost everywhere is twice as large as it needs to be and it's certainly about three times as long as it needs to be. It was bad enough they had to patch the Japanese version explicitly to be less crap and even the patched version is by far the most disliked part of the game.

Oh isn't that the post-game bonus dungeon? I haven't tried that yet, I stepped in for a second and then went back to finish the story.

For some reason when I bought FF8 my sealed copy had two disc 2s instead of a disc 3, the universe didn't want me to play it. Unfortunately I got it swapped.
