Also if anyone has played Touhou Genso Warrior Reloaded I'd be interested to hear what you thought as it's 75% off. I really only want to play it to find out what the hell Touhou is cos it's in tons of rhythm games (I also like roguelikes).

Touhou is a series of Japanese indie games whose developer lets people make and sell spinoff games, music, and so on. This is why there are like a billion Touhou games of varying quality.

Unfortunately I have no idea what this one is like. I�m also curious, but I�m leery because trad roguelikes are hard to design and easy to get wrong.

Thanks!

Edit: this was in response to the nice people who responded to my resident evil 4 query. I noticed that the post immediately preceding my thanks was in relation to something else. But in case the person who asked the question quoted in the previous post doesn't respond, I would like to say thank you for your kind response about the touhou something or other.

Follow up question: is the saints re elected game that's on sale for like £1.40 any good?

Saints Row IV is tons of fun if you have never played it, especially for that price

I never played Paper Mario before but it's a real good game. Definitely worth joining a family plan for.

There's an excellent remake/reboot from a couple years ago that frequently goes on sale for
. I believe it just got a huge new upgrade.

Was it actually excellent?

I tried playing it for 10 minutes in a social context and just got confused.

Maybe I'll continue not touching it and try the Genesis game again to see if it's it or me.

Looking forward to finally beating Dynamite Headdy.

If I can stop playing Loop Hero.

TJ&E is a roguelike. Randomly generated maps. You kinda wander around looking for ship parts. You can play with two people and it had a pretty ingenious way of doing split screen back in the day. The Lego games use the same technique. There's an excellent remake/reboot from a couple years ago that frequently goes on sale for

Did they ever fix the horrible performance and crashing in coop mode? Single player worked just fine. This was back when it first released so I�ll reinstall for this update and hope for the best.

I never got a chance to play multiplayer on the remake extensively so I'm not sure if they fixed performance.

I'm sorry you hate fun game controlling. Could they? Probably, I dunno I'm a loving idiot. But they haven't and that sucks because I beat the game cube and wii versions and the game cube tank controls are a little more tense but gyro is more FUN

I remember loving Toejam & Earl as a little kid but I try watching reviews or gameplay of it now and I have no gd clue what is going on. It seems like the gameplay is just walking around aimlessly

It's the original Walking Simulator.

But seriously it's just a game to vibe and chill to. No stress, just beats.

Tank controls and gyro aiming are two separate things.

I think so? At the very least I played through 2 player co op with my partner and it was crash free. I know it goes up to 3/4 players so can't report on if that's hosed

Your memory is wrong it is more about random consumable items to deal with a situation.

Toe Jam and Earl is a rogue like

It's very easy for a rogue like but you still need to figure out what items do and use them at the right time. All the key features are there

The second game is a complete change in genre and does involve violently throwing jars at people, might be what you played

Christmas break plans. Beat Fell Seal, Beat Transistor, beat Super Metroid. Beat Pikmin 3? Haha, I'm still terrified of some stupid Moth Boss on like Day 3 or 4 or something. I can't get through it without losing my friends.

If I can then start on Fusion that'd be great. I don't think I'll devote the necessary time to beat FFX, but I would like to get off the rails, make a blitzball team, and just zone out in that game for a bit. I just got to the airship, but I'm clearly not controlling it yet. How long until that happens?

I'll also maybe finish Picross S1, I'm on the last page of Mega-Picross. I don't think I'll pick up S2 but rather Sega first then jump back.

Let's see how much I truly get done!

Aw gently caress I just realized that Xbox is done adding new backwards compatible games so now TJ&E3 is effectively a lost title.

You get control of the airship in ffx right before the final dungeon

Just as an FYI in case you're expecting something similar to prior Final Fantasy games, you don't really get "control" of it, it's just a quick-travel menu back to previous locations.

From what I've played, I'd say Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Kirby Super Star Allies.

I haven't played Crysis or Doom 2016, yet.

Comedy answer: Picross S.
