So, what you're saying...is...you've still got the majority of the year to get through before you play your #1 and #2 game for 2023 :devil:

:prepop: Wow! That is quite the claim! It makes me more interested in them. ;)

Do not forget, this is also the Okami, Chronotrigger, LttP, Disco Elyisum, Monkey Island 2, Rondo of Blood, HFW year....

This year I’ve completed Final Fantasy IV, Grapple Dog, and NORCO, and am in the middle of Persona 5 Royal and Pizza Tower, plus doing runs in Slay the Spire every so often (only got to the third boss so far, beat it but then it bloody resurrected or something smh). Will start Metroid Prime Remastered tomorrow, very excited to finally get to that one.

I haven't beaten any games this year because I have been listening to lots of music and playing games where "beaten" isn't a meaningful statement. Thank you

Second palace iirc. It’s cool! I haven’t played any in a while actually but I’m not dropping it or anything. Obviously the perv stuff is awful (hahaha! a teenage girl being painted nude! and she’s very uncomfortable about it! the height of comedy!) but I like the style and letting the other characters kill everyone while I go blap blap blap with my gun

Wow. Would not have expected you to take to it so well, haha!

Since I'm nearing the end of my playthrough of P4G, my perspective on the Persona series has changed a lot. My first introduction into the series was playing the standard edition of P5 that was free with the ps+ collection exactly two years ago when getting a ps5 and 6 weeks of furlough happened to coincide. My impressions of it then was that it was slick and had decent combat but the skeevy anime and life sim stuff was a bit over the top, the game was very muddled in its themes and messaging and overall a bit of a disappointment. It did not feature on my goty list that year.

Two years is a decent enough time to let an experience mature in ones mind and the soundtrack is still a constant earworm.. so rock up P4G and it becomes so clearly obvious the leap in quality the series made from P4 to P5. I've really enjoyed my time with P4G and P5 is pretty much the same game but it does everything so much better. The presentation, the soundtrack, the combat, everything is kicked up a notch. I've had to completely revise my thinking on P5 and when I look at the games I ranked in my goty that year, I can see a few that would lose out to P5 if I were to redo it.

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'm gonna have to replay P5 at some point in the near future and play the Royal edition this time.

I've been playing Metroid handheld with the original controls like some kind of sicko. Anyone else? If I were using joy cons I'd play with motion controls, but I'm playing on my Lite.

i remember not recording games because i didn't want to go buy and install some capture card or whatever to record my pokemaul island tower defense plays. now i can record easily but understand nobody needs me to do this

When I was a kid we had an 8" tv/vcr combo. I used it to record the Kingdom Hearts secret movie.

Ann is treated really badly after the first palace (the game forgets she'e a victim of really gross sexual harrassment and then just lets everyone sexually harrass her). Her coming out wearing 20 layers of clothes is pretty funny, though.

oh are we posting what we've beaten so far this year?

in order:


1) vampire survivors

not much to say about this, i downloaded it for free and cleared the entire completion list, bestiary, and secrets in a couple of days while watching streams

perfect phone game, the runs never last too long especially with hurry mode on

pure dopamine

-Sent from my iPhone

---

2) scooby-doo night of 100 frights

i had never played this back in the day and watching jerma play it got me wanting to, as i love me a collectathon platformer

its pretty cute if youre a scooby-doo fan. theres lots of references to classic episodes, theres a laughtrack that plays sometimes when you do something funny.

the game itself is kinda jank, the level design towards the end gets weirdly frustrating. the shipwreck levels made me so goddamn mad lmao

its got tim curry in it doing like 3 lines (not nearly enough) but i love him so thats a bonus. also i think its don knotts only video game appearance?

certainly not a jewel, but i had fun with it :)

---

3?) its gonna be elden ring, looking at my 230 hours in it lol

amd and nvidia cards both have shadowplay thingies now
you can set it up so you just press some button and it instantly saves the last 5 minutes of gameplay to a video clip
mine (on an nvidia card) keeps randomly turning the recording off though so sometimes i go to record something cool and find out it's lost forever :negative:

If you have a beefy enough computer I recommend using OBS and setting up a replay buffer with a hotkey to capture it, much more reliable imo. You can set the replay buffer to be as large or small as you want, I keep mine to 2 minutes and cut out what I don't need using the basic editing available from Microsoft stuff.

I think I've decided to just get the base theatrhythm game. It's got enough songs to keep me occupied for a while and I think I'll get the dlcs when they go on sale maybe. Just cant really put in my head the idea of paying £95 for an insanely awesome final fantasy rhythm game... noo I just cant.. been eyeing up octopath 2 as well... help my wallet

When I was in sixth grade my friend brought his portable tape recorder with microphone to school and we all stood around at recess listening to the sounds of him beating Goldeneye. We were very impressed.

It is a pretty cool mix of ogre battle + fire emblem. The plot is kind of generic, gets interesting, then gets really generic again but overall it's a B- of a game.

Thanks, if anything I should probably play Ogre Battle, think I barely tried it once decades ago and liked it but didn't actually jump in for whatever reason.

In some places they refer to it as "rounding" a game, as in the way old arcade games just start over when you complete all the levels.
