It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

If you buy it right now (or I guess any time today) it will actually let you pre-load it.

I'm finally watching yesterday's Nintendo Direct.

Is the Bravely Default team doing like a Romancing SaGa thing with Octopath Traveler? Because if that's the case then I am 100% in

It's not, it's just possible that IDtech 6 is the greatest videogame engine of all time.

On the other hand wait and see what the Switch version looks like before anyone's impressed lol.

Looks closer to the first SaGa Fontier but the two have a lot in common.

Harrow
Jun 30, 2012

Oh hey, Live-a-Live is a connection I didn't even think to make.

Eight characters and medieval-ish setting makes me think Romancing SaGa instead of SaGa Frontier but that's probably not that meaningful of a distinction. Does Octopath do the SaGa level up and skill learning system or something more traditional?

Guess I'm buying a Switch soon huh

It's pretty insane how smoothly Doom runs for how good it looks. All other games that approach Doom visually on my system can touch the tippy toes of 60fps fully maxed out @ 1440p, meanwhile Doom reaches 90-110fps effortlessly regardless of what's on screen.

There are a couple of really grotesque gay caricatures that pop up a couple of times.

There are a couple of really stereotypical gay dudes who hit on Ryuji and make him go all gay panic and it's bad. The rest of the game, however, is extremely good.

It's definitely in there but its not as huge as that dude makes it seem.

I liked Persona 5 but it kind of went no where thematically after a really strong start.

same dude also said persona 4 was transphobic because naoto and i disagree entirely w/ it

i think they are just grasping @ straws to hate a game because it doesnt conform to the narrative they want the game to tell

Yeah, it feels like it. In Zero they gave a lot of backstory to some characters that are just a footnote in Kiwami or straight up die after being featured in a couple of dialogue scenes or turn evil after being pretty cool guys. It's brutal.

I think it's a misread of the modern RPG player to induce gay panic when now you'll want to take the 100% gayest option at every available opportunity.

Persona's gender politics have always been uneven, but that's to be expected from a director who could not make non-romantic relationships in a game because he said that he had never been friends with a woman
