Ultimate Chicken Horse
Tricky Towers
Rampage Knights

We're just two dudes if that matters

Rampage Knights is an okay way to spend an afternoon or two. It's really arcadey and the only things that carry over are achievement bonuses when you start a game.

please don't buy ys vi if you buy any ys, it's kind of bad

unfortunate cause it has the best soundtrack and is one of the two ys vi engine games to have dogi, but it is very badly designed and frustrating

still... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6G_nFcAjDk

Ys 6 is pretty good, just with 1 very annoying frustrating part that you have to do twice (that one specific jump in the Ruins of Amnesia. You know the one). It's rough compared to Oath in Felghana and Origins, but it's still a good game, and it was my first ys game (specifically the ps2 release) and it's pretty fun.

I guess I'll start Uncharted 4 for now. Hoo boy this was an impulsive purchase then bcause I'd rather save my sixty bux til Tuesday when KNACK 2 comes out. I'd pick up Nioh tonight but spending $120 on ps4 games in one week is too tough to justify after impulse ordering the console ha, and I still gotta beat the ringed city anyways

Either way s'cool because the system woulda cost me the same whether I got it today or on GLORIOUS KNACK 2 RELEASE DATE next week instead

still eager to play Nioh, I'll fish around for used copies in a few weeks

I've been Hitmanning but I'm considering skipping getting the humble monthly bundle this month (when it drops next week) and getting Phantom Brave since it's cheap right now and I could go for some fun srpg times. Still on the fence, though!

April Fools stuff is kind of annoying in that it's a bunch of companies reminding you that they could be way more fun and creative if they wanted to but they don't.

Are you guys getting persona 5 physical or digital?

I like having super special games that deserve to always be installed in digital format. It kills the potential for resale but the convenience is worth it. For most other games (99 percent of them), I do physical so I can sell them later.

What about you??

Getting between the two towers is a pain in the rear end and the basement is almost totally useless. Those are my only real complaints with it.

I suck at navigating it. The whole place looks the same to me and it all feels very limited-access, even if maybe it's not.

It's a real game too with achievements and everything. Amazing

edit: real talk though Bayonetta on steam would be worthless because it wouldn't come with the Peach costume which makes it so Bowser's fists come out of portals to punch angels in the face instead of her hair fists. Without that what's even the point

It's a free game called 8-bit bayonetta where you just shoot at enemies marching at you to try to get a high score. It's an april fools thing. The achievements apparently have a url hidden in them that links to a bayonetta countdown that ends on the 11th so that's probably when the actual bayonetta pc port gets announced.
