Vanillaware make interesting games and their re-releases have tended to have thoughtful changes/additions that make them better games in the process. I haven't played it but I'm excited to.

I just binge watched the series Severance and I give it a very strong recommendation. It's the most enjoyable new show I watched this year. Every actor was outstanding in their role, it's visually striking, and has a compelling and creepy plot. It has substantial aesthetic and thematic overlap with The Stanley Parable and Control. It does its own very creative things but if you dig those games I think you'll like the show too. It takes place in 1970's looking brutalist office sci-fi dystopia where something is deeply wrong. Definitely has shades of The Oldest House.

That got my interest initially, the show being loving INCREDIBLE is what kept it

It's been awhile, but I don't remember there being a bunch of dead ends beside the obvious 'you killed one of the big 4, pick a different direction now'. Maybe I'm misremembering though.

Saint Freak posted:It's been awhile, but I don't remember there being a bunch of dead ends beside the obvious 'you killed one of the big 4, pick a different direction now'. Maybe I'm misremembering though. Yeah, there's only a handful of actual-for-real dead ends that require storyline progress to proceed: Shrine of Winter, Aldia's Keep, and the two King's Gates. Level progression is definitely more linear than the first half of DS1, but it's relatively straightforwards, and there's usually only a few nooks and crannies with treasure chests that don't let you progress or loop back onto the main path.

I'll never get tired or stop loving Square being incoherent with game rerelases/remakes. Dragon Quest gets trash iPhone-level ports and then they do an entire remake of loving Live-A-Live. And then Chrono Cross not only comes out before any rerelease of Trigger, but is back to being barebones. I absolutely love it

I assume it's probably down purely to either weird internal marketing metrics deciding who gets what, or just different developers having enough pull to get resources prioritized for their cherished remakes.

Srice posted:I bet it's because Kawazu is powerful and has been there forever. Oh yeah, that's exactly why. SaGa Frontier got a remaster because Kawazu wanted to do it, and it shows in just how much attention was put into a) maintaining what made the game so memorable in the first place, and b) adding to it in really fun ways.

All the good ones are clearly the result of someone with pull stepping up to champion the project. Like Kawazu with the Saga ones. Reminded of how Street Fighter 4 took forever to get made because no one at Capcom had the guts to touch it.

(Elden Ring) The final job of Volcano House has me hauling rear end to a part of the map that seems pretty far right now, normally I’d just go into the manor itself but I’ve been spoiled enough to know that’s a Bad Idea if I wanna see all the side quests so I guess I’ll do some other poo poo. Also I made friends with Rya! i guess her being a giant snakeworm lady was why she had that creepy slump before, but I’m confused why she didn’t just go to town on the crabman’s rear end because those snakeworms handed me my entire rear end in a top hat with their bullshit grab bite move. Man, I guess I’m playing this game super inefficiently at 100+ hours and only like 60% through going by the map but it’s a surprisingly chill experience since you can always gently caress off to explore somewhere else instead of ramming your head against a meatgrinder boss/dungeon. I especially like using that signpost thing that sends your multiplayer sign to multiple areas at once right now.

slowly crushing my own initial ue5 steam as I get a more realistic idea of the work before me. making the rough blocking for a cave took ages, even before getting into lighting it and building a little underground city, which will require my own assets since all these city ones are for bigass big city City bldgs. So moved on, trying to recreate the goblin alley scene i started in blender, blocking it out was easy enough, but again the available resources were pretty specific and huge and not little cramped alley style. big buildings are all done lego-style, which definitely means I'm missing some tool to snap these pieces together since manually aligning them is absurd. the city demo they give you was mildly illuminating, except no idea how they ended up grouping or instancing these things, even the decals were seemingly spread around procedurally. i still haven't learned decals in blender or ue5. a lot of the megascans assets are also not as useful as they first appear, it's strength is very much in general landscape things. Wanna throw down some rocks, cliffs, rocky cliffs, cliffy rocks, and rocks again? Megascans is almost perfect, SOL in many cases if you want the bottom of rocks or the backs of things or the sides of things. found some cool assets for a street curb, just a rectable of concrete, right? jk no bottom and no sides, so only useful from the front angle basically. ue5 has modeling tools but not really good in that situation where youll end up needing to go to blender but then megascans got these weirdass setups and rexporting a pain. new plan is to go back to blender, make myself some assets that i can stuff into ue5 where the foliages and rocks and stuff can dress it up

Vague spoiler about the Volcano Manor as a dungeon and quest progress: as long as you don't kill the main boss until you're done with the quests, you're fine. You can get all the way up to the very obvious boss room without messing up any quest things.

Whizzing Wizard posted:Dark Souls 2: I highly recommend a walkthrough for DS2. Ultimately you're going to enjoy it the most if you just keep your forward momentum up. There's a lot of fantastic stuff to see in that game but, unlike the other FROM games, I don't think you really benefit that much doing it completely blind. Talking about it made me want to pull up Majula and listen. Man, it's CRAZY how that one track absolutely nails the feel of the game and separates it from anything else.
