The original game is pretty bad too I just have a lot of nostalgia for old Amiga Psygnosis stuff. Good soundtrack though.

Lots of Sega Genesis games were Amiga/PC ports. I've never even played Shadow of the Beast but there are so many great Amiga ports on Genesis that I hold a bias on anything Amiga related.

(I've only heard good thing about Shadow of the Beast, but if you play some of the Amiga genesis games like Mega Turrican, Fatal Rewind, or Gods it all makes sense. They are revered for a good reason. The music is beyond and above Super Nintendo's caliber.)

That cover art is real shite.
I wonder if they removed blood and (007 intro style) nudity from the game as well, or just the cover?

It's usually the other way around for Japanese/NA localizations, so that would be weird.

Shadow of the Beast was one of the original 'graphics over gameplay' games and the demo stands with it set up on them probably sold the vast majority of Amigas at the time, but only because it was a rolling demo and you couldn't actually play it.
The game itself is one of the most infuriatingly difficult games ever made and that's even before you take into account that there are multiple ways of loving yourself into an unwinnable position. And then they made the sequel even harder and more obtuse.

Holy lol Berserk Musou really is called Berserk and the Band of the Hawk in English. What were their meetings like where they decided that title?
My best guess is they had it as Berserk: The Band of the Hawk and some marketing exec was like 'hey-uhhh booboo, that title sounds kinda lame, maybe we can uh, make it have more pizazz? Disrupt."

For the last month if I go to anything in my library and press X on it, I get a never-ending Please Wait screen.

If it's installed, I can press Options on it and hit Start Application and it's all good.
If it's not installed, I can use the PSN store (which works maybe 75% of the time for me, unless I've played a game since turning the PS4 on in which case lol better reboot!) and their horrible search feature to find it and reinstall it.

The desktop website gives me a HTTP 500 error when I try to log in, but the mobile site works (though it's absurdly slow).

I have no idea what the gently caress anymore.

GTA Online has made over $500 million in revenue. It's great for Take2 to have an ongoing service since the tend to lose money whenever they don't have a GTA or Red Dead game out for the year.

I expect a lot of upcoming games to experiment with MMO-lite features. FFXV will have an online avatar system patched in the future.

Just for clarification, I believe the $500 million was from sales of shark cards ALONE. That number was released almost a year ago.


Remember this game is consistently topping the sales charts too. I wouldn't be surprised if the total revenue (not profits) from ALL of GTA V (including last gen) surpassed 1 billion by now.

The PSP version of 2 had anime character portraits during all dialogue that looked like they were all 12. It really put me off of playing it since they're all supposed to be around 18 and have romance subplots and stuff. It might bother me more since I played the PSX version at launch and it didn't have portrait popups. I don't remember anything too crazy in 3 and didn't play 5 so it must have been 4..

According to page 4 of the Benzies lawsuit, GTA5 had accumulated $3 billion in sales at that time (April 2016). That's more than the entirety of Ubisoft's sales for the last two years combined.

SO5 kinda went the opposite direction and there are no memorable character interactions at all, either for good or bad.

edit: other than what you make for yourself due to the ability to change your main character's pose during talky scenes.

Yeah that was really something. Clearly 5's budget was just brutally cut off at some point and they decided to go with an old scifi standby to save money.

Nioh is just as hard as Bloodborne and bloodborne is a much better game. Not that Nioh is bad, Bloodborne is just the best.

The first act of Nioh is harder than Bloodborne, but then after that Bloodborne definitely has the difficulty edge. Basically after Hino-Emma they forget how to make challenging bosses with only a handful of exceptions that are mostly limited to the Samurai duels. There were only 3 spots that took me more than about 5 tries to beat the first time, the first being the above mentioned boss, the second being the Ii duel, and the third being the room before the boss in the epilogue.

That being said, there are some really really nice quality of life improvements for Nioh that I wish could be backported into the souls games. Namely being able to go back and refight bosses without being in NG+. Also not being stuck in NG+ mode, you can switch difficulties between missions pretty much any time you want once you unlock it. There are also some changes going from Bloodborne to Nioh that I wish would die in a fire (mostly involving farming blacksmith plans and the random nature of the loot, I had to duel Ii like 175 times before I got his spear blacksmith pattern for the set bonus :smithicide:) but all in all both are solid games.
