I like that the new Zeboyd game that came out, which is a cross between Chrono Trigger and Phantasy Star, he put "Brisk pacing that doesn't waste your time!" as a selling point

Also I've been playing it and the combat system is extremely good

So that you dishonor him before the judges



Disc Jam is so good but the lag is unbearable at times. Really frustrating to find someone who is really good only for their throw animation to pause until .5 seconds before you're supposed to catch the disc, especially after a long back and forth volley. It takes too long to find 60ms players and they're still stuttery and jittery, while 100ms is borderline unplayable. Love this game, but it's hard to justify since I can't play with a wired connection.

Cosmic Star Heroine? I thought that game looked pretty charming, I might try it out once I get through the Bayonetta remaster. I also appreciate any game that tells you exactly what it's going to be about in the title.

For 13 years I've watched ADTRW fail to keep anime talk out of any other part of the forum I look at, so I know that tactic doesn't work no matter the scale. SA just wants to talk about anime like a motherfucker.

That's because we are anime. I'm currently posting from my holographic talking wrist computer while riding my giant flying tiger mech through a battle against a bunch of naked long haired zombies with no eyes that spit lasers out of their mouths.

Isn't that how all of you peruse The Something Awful Forums?

People tend to roll their eyes at anyone who negatively describes a thing as "anime" because these days such a statement is shorthand for "I am trying very hard to show everyone that I am a mature grownup, on this, the videogame subforum of a defunct comedy website."

I would say to watch gameplay first to make sure it's up your alley, also the portrait and cutscene art is a little offputting. The tone so far is silly and lighthearted but that's my preference whenever I play any videogame

Same, someone showed off an episode of Ranma 1/2 in high school and it put me off anime for years until I discovered the indie video store near my college.

Horizon is pretty anime tbh

Let's examine the facts:

- appropriately word salad title
- teenage female protagonist shunned by society
- ancient machine race awakens after 1,000 years to destroy civilization
- early scene with plucky schoolkids who are later brutally murdered
- female lead is actually 1,000 year old reincarnation of jesus

Verdict: 90% of the way there but needed more lesbian romances and/or gratuitous panty shots.

The artstyle for the characters loving bites. I liked how in HSG World Invitational they were all uniquely designed and were cool and expressive in their own rights. Ah well i guess I'll have to get over it and learn to embrace dressing up these realdolls.

Fired up the PS2 today for the first time since 2006 going by the memory card and a few things stick out. The fan is loud as poo poo. The interface is nice and simple at two icons - one for disc and one for memory card. Everything looks kind of pink and very blurry, especially the GTA games. Controllers feel really light.

Really isn't any PS2 game I'm compelled to go back and play now other than Burnout 3 maybe. Muddy graphics and weird camera controls all round.

Goddamn. I wish I had more free time. I've been playing P5 as much as I can and I'm only 30h in. :cry:

I loving love it so far though.

I got Nier on release and dropped it as soon as P5 came. I'll have to get back into it in a month or so. It's a drat fine game itself.

Too many good games lately!

I think it's insane people in the main p5 thread say "wait till NG+" because I'm pretty sure most people don't have the time go through a 100 hour RPG twice

I redid the events of the first dungeon with all the dialog on fast forward and it still took 4 hours with knowing what to do and where everything is

I'm not mad at that. It just means other games will be neglected for a long rear end time.

I didn't realize it was that long though. Explains why I only have 5 party members still though. That was kind of concerning me.

e: It also fills me with more dread of loving up social links. But I hate looking at guides for those as it ruins my IMMERSION. There is no way in gently caress I'm going to NG+ this.
