Is Forspoken a reverse isekai? Because abandoned baby found in the middle of the street sounds a lot like she originally came from magic world as a baby

Forspoken just went from "lol no" to "yeah on sale probably" for me if my computer can run it in a stable, even 30 fps manner.







Like drat, I will definitely support games going all in on that whole customizing game difficulty values and settings, it needs to be standard in every game of reasonable size going forward.

i thought this game looked like poo poo but now that i know there's a slider for "how long toppled enemies remain immobile" i've gotta buy it!!!

What's going on with the price of Forspoken? I know AAAAAAAAAA games are expensive but the standard is $70 (or about 65€) and 80€ for Europeans?

Square Enix thinks they can get away with inflated console prices on PC.

Redfall might also be 80€ if the recent leak is to be believed. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

The positive part of all those 80€ games is that they're all mediocre garbage that isn't worth playing in the first place.

MS has already confirmed their games will be $70 going forward.

    Beginning in 2023, games built for Xbox Series X|S including Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Starfield will cost $69.99 USD at launch. While Xbox has noted that regional pricing may differ, it has not yet given specifics for other countries.

    "This price reflects the content, scale, and technical complexity of these titles," a Microsoft spokesperson told IGN. "As with all games developed by our teams at Xbox, they will also be available with Game Pass the same day they launch

Microsoft can test my resolve with another Doom or a nu-Quake, but other than that, paying $70 for games can get all the way to gently caress.

Just announced: Yggdra Union, a remaster of a GBA/PSP tactical RPG. This technically came out on mobile four years ago, but it's in English now. New features include rewinding, autosave, multiple voice tracks and PC-centric control improvements.



It'll hit Early Access on Feb 7 with all the content and features included, and spend a few months there making tweaks and fixing bug reports before declaring it done.

That looks so clean. The GBA version not only had a dozen things going on at the same time, it also was just mess of pixels. It was almost admirable how much they were trying to cram into 240 Χ 160.

Edit: Apparently it also received a Switch port that wasn't localized. I'm guessing this version is based on that.

I won't call this good writing, but it made me forcefully blow air through my nose at the end which is more than I can say about a lot of games honestly.

Is the Steam demo not available until the game "unlocks in approximately 2 hours"? All the reviews seem to be somewhere around, "poo poo writing and gameplay you may or may not like" which is fine by me because lol story.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

What if the FOV slider secretly made an idiot tell you jokes with increased frequency? That's something I would do if I was a game designer and if I wanted someone to kill me also.

it's not just horribly creatively bereft and bland and lovely but it's also doing that Marvel Thing where Funny Dialog is an end to itself. like the script was fully written and someone said we don't have enough funny lines!! and they just randomly added them to whichever character is currently speaking regardless of whatever's going on or who they are.

Is that really a Marvel thing or just like every film released in the last 20 plus years. There are Kevin Smith films with that tacked on stuff as well.

honestly no idea, all i know is that it seems to be happening in all media a lot more after superhero films really took off and it was happening in the new star wars films so that's why i call it a marvel thing.

Yea, one of those things where Marvel certainly didn't originate that style of writing, but it's a massive cultural influence so if nothing else it has popularized that style.
