I started on Ruiner tonight. I like the game so far. The art style is beautiful, and the cyberpunk setting is awesome. I am always a sucker for cyberpunk settings though. The sudden quick flashes of text and characters is really annoying though, and the pacing is a bit rough with too many cutscenes.

I would like to hear your opinion once you’re halfway through. I went from loving the game to despising it.

Where's my skies of arcadia pc port sega!!!

I do wonder if we’ll get one eventually since Sega’s been on a PC port kick, but man I think SoA sold poorly every single time it’s seen a release despite being one of the best JRPGs ever, so I dunno if it’ll ever happen. :sigh:

The only things I would want in a skies port:

lower encounter rate (maybe as an option in the menu or something)
optional costumes (I wanna unlock and use the rad fina air pirate costume from the credits)
maybe toss in more discoveries if they feel like it since those aren't super tough to do
no matter what, keep that one part where moegi's voice clip goes "noooooooooooooooooo" but the text just reads "yes"

e: also make it mandatory to pick up a subcannon before hitting the recumen fight because the fact that it is so easy to not get one and potentially softlock is just the worst. My first time through the game I had to reload on that fight and the one immediately after sooooo many times because I didn't have a subcannon.

Unrelated, the giant skeleton boss in Nioh sucks. It's not even that he was hard, it's just his gimmick was dull and the hitboxes on his attacks were so far from his attacks it just felt dumb and cheap. It doesn't help that he's so big that it's hard to read his moves very well, despite how slow he is. It still didn't take that long once I figured out what to do but I basically had no fun doing it.

Also unrelated: this is the most anime thread I follow and I just watched a few episodes of Pop Team Epic and have to ask...um...what?
Nice to know I'm not the only one. His attacks are readable because of the wind-ups but spammable and with some funky hitboxes or something that makes bad dodging easy. It's also a pain waiting for the right attack/enemy respawn if you need it. That said I still prefer that boss (which is one of the final roadblocks) to the postgame stuff which I'm almost done with now that I've gone back to it. I never even used Guardians until then!

To clarify, Red Dead Redemption has been Backwards Compatible for a while (they even reissued the 360 game in an Xbox One-style packaging several months ago), but the game running above 720p is what's new. Ditto for Portal 2 and Gears of War 2. The Xbox 1 games on Xbox One are all "weren't BC before", though.

That's a game I missed completely when it was new so a port to a newer system that I have (I ain't picky) would own very hard.

In theory I should love Skies of Arcadia. I love airships. I love settings that are all about floating islands and continents. I love JRPGs. So I should probably love Skies, right?

I have some rice cakes from 2015 that I could send to you.

GTA4's 10-year anniversary is coming up, and apparently things are getting weird as some of the music licensing is expiring (mostly Vladivostok FM tunes) and Rockstar has to explicitly patch it out (and will be dropping new music in its place) towards the end of the month.
