The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Is Mean Bean Machine significantly more difficult than Puyo Puyo or have I just gotten terrible since the 90s? Can't beat the second robot.

The actual problem with the ps3 for ffxiv wasn't the graphics, it was the ram, which the switch has 16x as much of as the ps3. The graphics are still the same graphics as always and ran on ps3 no problem.

I HAVE BEEN A VERY NAUGHTY BOY

I think I'm near the end of Metroid Dread, if I am about to fight Raven Beak is this the point where the whole world is open to me? I wanted to go back for 100% item completion before the end of the game. Is there a point of no return, and if so am I past it?

Also goddamn this is definitely my game of the year

If you're about to fight that boss yes, the whole world is open to you. In fact to help with item cleanup you want to take the elevator into the final area and then take it back down to Hanubia, since doing that connects all the teleporters so you can teleport from any teleporter to any other one instead of just colored pairs.

Interesting so it loads 3 different game icons altogether. That's handy I guess if you don't want a giant package sitting in your memory card in one go.

E: is Rune Factory 5 still getting localized? I really liked the first 4 and was waiting for it. I don't get many chances to check game info anymore.

Not only is it getting localized, but it's thanks to the localization team's efforts at lobbying the devs that they'll be patching in same sex relationships (which will be in the western version from day 1)

Since they almost certainly didn't use the 32 gb carts, that would mean that the physical copy probably has 3 and Vice City on it and a download code for San Andreas. I guess it could alternatively have 3 and San Andreas with a download code for Vice City, though.

e: actually hell, if they're three separate icons digitally it could just be San Andreas on the cart with codes for both the other games.

FFX is my my 2nd favorite after IX, but I’ve never been able to get past the first 2-3 hours of X-2. It just has a completely different vibe than X and I really don’t like it at all

The first two fit on an 8gb card, then they'll make you download San Andreas.
Or they'll go really cheap and only buy 4gb cards from Nintendo for the physical edition.

I'm very fond of Chrono trigger but outside of its fantastic presentation and generally good pacing it's as deep as a puddle, which I suppose is the dragon quest dna coming through

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, how are people thinking that Chrono Trigger is if not the best JRPG ever at least the best of its generation? It's got fantastic characters, plot, music, gameplay, it's short and punchy, tons of replayability. It's absurd
