I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Lol that this game thought I'd give up my reward for killing a huge monster just because some kid is an orphan in the crappy mudhole village. Oh no, now he won't get as much mud as the other kids...

beat dragon quest 8,

very solid, but i liked 5 better and it was probably too short and basic. I'm missing collecting monsters or having a jobs system for the characters. took 38 hours according to the time on my save file which feels way too short given 7 was like 2-3 times that length but I guess they were reacting to criticism?

can't wait for 11. glad i have dqh2 to tide me over.

8 is a good game, but I stopped playing it temporarily because it doesn't really stand out besides the world itself being so cool to traverse. At least as much as 7 where your dudes for most of the game are all fun and most of the little stories that make up the overall narrative are better than 8's.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I'm really excited Prey to go on sale. My backlog's too boated for another full-price game, but the demo is certainly fun for me. With the inventory management and the neuromod upgrades it really feels like System Shock. The music stings have to be adjusted though, that's a deal breaker if they don't address it. I can't have that stuff blaring long after I've killed everything.

Honestly at this point, having never played either I could not tell you the difference other than one loves slowmo xray shots and I think the other is made by slavs?

They look to have almost the same gameplay and graphical style.

What's up fellow lovely-feeler :respek: I just sent my third (and final before I give up) email to the games done quick committee regarding why Max Payne 3 was declined and at this point I'm doubting I'll get a response! Which sucks because how am I going to know what I did wrong if they didn't leave a comment on the run

alright started Hoiroizon and i am glad its as fun as everyone said it would be. i was worried it was going to be way more "complex" then it is. but so far i have been loving about and doing fine. story is interesting enough so far.

also bought nier automata, persona 5 and bioshock collection off amazon.

prey is also comming as well as some anniversary gifts to my gf.

I'm pretty sure GDQ just hardly ever responds to stuff unless it becomes a big drama fest anyway. Otherwise they're (understandably and unfortunately) too busy to check on and respond to every little thing :\

Is that the reason you're feeling lovely? I'm sorry if it is. At least you know your speedrun was good even if gdq didn't accept it. I've seen plenty of speedruns where the runner more or less says "I've been submitting this for years and it finally got in" so just keep at it and I'm sure they'll eventually let it through :)

The committee email address exists to answer questions from people who submitted runs about their runs!

But it doesn't really matter, it's just a bummer that I don't have any way of knowing whether it was declined because of the game, the run, or something to do with me.

Like I said, unfortunately they're probably just too busy and don't see your email as a priority thing to answer compared to something like "hey can my run include this content that just got released? no? well, I'm gonna drop out, sorry, I've been practicing that route too much and I don't want to have to relearn the previous route" or whatever happened with the DS3 runner.

Yeah, I haven't played the 3ds version yet but from the ps2 iirc they usually have unique names (i.e. the Goldman you can catch is called The Goldbricker or something like that). Also if you collect all of a certain type like Golem / Stoneman / Goldman) they merge to form a super golem. They don't fight "in" your party but you can make your monster team sub in for your party temporarily in regular battles.

Did you never go to the monster arena or something?

Nah, pretty sure it's just a cute nod towards good times past. We're close enough to E3 that you shouldn't expect any major announcements before then.

Sony: All the stuff they teased last year, except less of a tease. Also, CoDWW2 and Death Stranding.
MS: Scorpio reveal + launch titles, and a bunch of first party stuff that might even get released at some point.
Nintendo: Who the gently caress knows? Nintendo E3s are always weird.
EA: Battlefront 2, Need for Speed, FIFA... probably some Battlefield DLC and a token indie publishing thing, too.
Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed and probably something weird and/or mildly embarrassing.
Bethesda: Two reveals hinted, possibly new IPs. Would be very surprised if Wolfenstein and The Evil Within don't poke their heads in...
Square-Enix: I dunno. Probably more info on the FF7 Remake.
Konami: An exciting new Parodius slot machine for the Vegas market, and an exotic new Policenauts pachislot with animated scenes powered by the FOX Engine.
