I hope the bizarre and sudden remastering of both last remnant and Crystal Chronicles means Kawazu is BACK ON TOP BABY. Or at least maybe it'll mean we get a port of Minstrel Song.

Anyway let that crazy motherfucker make more games he's the best around

He needs to put out the 1200 page tabletop RPG we all know he wants to write because no video game can hold his craziness.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I've got a few days coming up where my wife is out of town on a business trip and it'll just be me and my 1 yo. I'm likely to buy a game to fill this time with, but I'm torn between Spider-Man and Dragon Quest XI. I like both franchises, but Spider-Man is the game my coworkers bought and have been talking about, and Dragon Quest is a little light on the web swinging. However, Spider-Man seems like a game I would complete in a few days and never touch again, whereas DQXI could eat up dozens and dozens of hours of my life if it's as good as people keep saying it is.

If only this was a clear Paragon/Renegade choice...

the thread and its OP have done a great service to the forums, but in light of apparently all the new senran games now being strip show spinoffs, rather than big boobies fighting games, I can't say I'm surprised it got closed.

videogames post in the thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?action=showpost&postid=487841598

e: disclaimer I've never played the games, so I dunno if there's still actual fighting games but the news has definitely been on the strip show side.
e2: wait the op is a different person too, I was thinking of DT

based on the demo it just seems like a worse playing version of yakuza. combat is almost identical but the changes they did make are for the worse, a third of the demo is tailing a guy as if its a game from the mid 2000s, and another third is just a bad QTE sequence

I’m really loving confused at the hype because the trailer was some fun looking combat combined with the worst open world mission mini games of the last 15 years. Tailing, contrived detective missions, snapping a photo at the right time, etc.

I am so extremely hyped to play Crystal Chronicles multiplayer again.

Back in college I had enough friends with GBAs that we actually managed to do a four-player playthrough and it owned. It was so drat fun, arguing about who has bucket duty, trying to coordinate spell combos, making sure everyone got gear upgrades together, beating up bosses, it kicked rear end. And now, I have enough friends with Switches that we can do it again, but with the power of the internet! :yayclod:

The Senran Kagura games aren't bad. :shrug: The gacha has some great graphics for a phone game and the cooking game was a rare instance of a decent non-indie rhythm game on PC.

I remember laughing at how dumb senran kagura was and I felt like DT was definitely sincere in why he liked the series, and even now I think he has moved on to another series that is arguably worse than SK because he thought that SK was getting too silly and not focusing on the story, but there came a point where I just didn't feel comfortable laughing at SK anymore because it felt like its existence was trying to normalize the sexualization of minors and that just really makes me uncomfortable. I believe people when they say they can enjoy the games despite the sexualization but I remember when DT posted about a comic that was just all the SK cast wearing the same clothes they normally do but they were in kindergarten and they were trying to learn about how to get big boobs and that was when I was like "okay no I'm bowing out, I can't go for that, no can do"

this is pretty much the narrative arc that led to the creation of the thread if i remember right, if you add the epilogue that people got upset we were trying to shut the guy up and rallied a group effort to have us make a thread for him to post in. just one of the fun decisions to make while being an admin of the sa forums

I feel like Senran Kagura succeeded where .hack failed in that it's a multimedia franchise that releases a game a year that generally review well but nobody admits to playing and they sell $200 vinyl figures to the same 100 people.

That was also back when gbs had a ton of chat threads before ralp (I think it was ralp) tried to get rid of the chat threads and have their own byob place. Main reason I remember that is because I saw a big influx of posters that I hadn't seen before and it turned out it was a gbs thread that was defending him as being sincere about how he liked the games for the story and I ended up going and hanging out in that thread with its posters for about a year because it was more-or-less people making fun of the people that get all "anime is for pedos" and laughing at them but it also felt like they were laughing at how dumb SK was as a series and how seemingly oblivious DT was to how cookie cutter SK's supposedly deep and interesting plot and characters are.

idk why I'm typing about this to be honest, what's done is done, this whole thing just kinda reminded me of stuff from years ago
