How generous is Prey with the neuromod upgrades? I just found the fabrication plan to make them, but wondering if I should dump all my crafting materials into the drat things and go nuts, or save them for later.

They're easily the most useful thing to fabricate, go nuts

Counterpoint: Turrets are useless and even when you spec into them they still die as soon as you are in another zone and you are cutting yourself off from all the coolest powers in exchange for basically a line of text in the ending cinematic.

Thanks for putting that together. I am most excited about the EDF games. The Iron Rain spinoff doesn't even have that bad/cheesy look at that most EDF games have.

The wheel of themes is dusted off.

As per the rules, 2017's winner "Post Apocalypse Open World 3rd-person action game".

Kratos, Mario and Master Chief, dressed in black robes, spin the wheel.

A single dart, pearl and ivory with an obsidian needle, is flung from the shadows.

It embeds itself, deeply, in the gun-metal grey triangle labeled "Giant Robots" as the spin slows to a crawl.

I think all of them except Gundam Battle Operation 2 and A Certain Magical Virtual-On will, but they'll probably get English Asian releases.

Ya the PC release I got in a Square Mystery bag is basically the same PC release I had decades ago but is able to run on newer computers. The graphics look horrible on it.

While I don't have a desire to play it again, I do think they should give it the same treatment since so many people loved it.

The intro swordfight and ballroom dance were both pretty impressive for a game CG in 1998. At least the location designs are cool.

FF VIII is basically is so much more Japanese than the other 3D final fantasies and I'm so glad they ditched so much of that baggage.

Ok so you're in High School (buts it's fighting High School) and your rival is mean and your sexy teacher is whipping you and you occasionally pass out from the hidden anxiety of disappointing your dad...

FFIX was a breath of fresh air, and I thought I perfectly paved the way for the colorful yet somber FFX.

depending on precisely what powers you're going to be taking you can get a lot of the materials you need to craft neuromods by recycling the psi restoring hypos. even if you plan to use the hypos there's another way to restore psi in game but ~spoilers~

I quite like all the 3D Final Fantasies from 7-10 and either beat them all or got 90% of the way there. FF12 started the long trend of Final Fantasies with dreadful combat systems though :(

I always wished FF7+8 let you get more people in a battle, since FF4 gave you 5 people to play with. FF9 at least added one, then FFX decided swapping was a weird middle step.

It is. I think ACES CURE PLANES was specifically comparing it to AC7 where it's only for select mini-missions.

And I thought it'd be good to note that it's still the full game you can do in VR, unlike Ace Combat 7, which is only gonna have special VR missions, you can't play the whole campaign in VR.

Looks like its another reigned in story based EDF for normies that don't want there to be so many bugs on screen that the framerate dips to single digits, like Insect Armageddon. Its going to be bad
