Are there any good FMV games besides Phantasmagoria 2 and the Mysts?

besides what's been mentioned, also the infamous madness of doctor dekker and the shapeshifting detective, although the random element ruins them a little bit

I hope the BK HD rerelease keeps the save point after a point of no return but before the hardest boss in the game intact.

What boss is that?
I wandered through the 1st game recently for the first time and didn't worry about grinding, sidequests or really going for long straights and I found the end bosses not much trouble, no wipes. Red/blue dogs was probably the hardest boss for me.

Mode 7: Jul 28, 2007

Absolutely drowning in a deluge of games lately. Want to try and finish up BG3 and Amid Evil: The Black Labyrinth as my first priorities this month and since Starfield is on Game Pass I'll definitely at least be giving it a shot, after that, no idea. My backlog is growing at an alarming rate and every month seems to bring cool new stuff.

Pretty sure I've put multiple hundreds of hours into some of the NHL games, especially '03 and '13. And now I'm playing a lot of '23, guess I just unconsiously get really into a hockey game every 10 years.

It�s criminal that the NHL games aren�t on PC.

I looked up the How Long To Beat on Soulstice since the game is really starting to drag after about 6 hours and thinking well it's a Devil May Cry style thing these usually stick to a solid 8-10 hours and I can push through this last little bit.

17 loving hours. Even with playtimes usually coming in a fair bit under that for me usually that's a hard decision of yeah I'm probably not finishing this game.

Wonderful 101 is amazing and it's a true sign of societal rot that it failed as hard as it did. imo.

More like the Wonderful 78 On Metacritic

EA learned the hard way with FIFA 17 that Switch owners just want a football game. FIFA 17 sold super well, they put loads of effort into FIFA 18 on Switch and it also sold well, but nobody who bought it was buying Ultimate Team cards which is where the actual money is. So now the Switch just gets FIFA 18 rereleased with roster updates as the Legacy Edition every year. I expect it'd be the same with Madden and NHL, no-one buying the game on Switch will buy enough card packs to make it worthwhile. Meanwhile the MLB I believe have it in their licencing contract with Sony that The Show needs to be on everything now, so it gets a Switch version.

NHL hasn�t been on PC for like 3 console generations. It�s really frustrating. I think i can emulate the ps3 versions I guess.

Yeah the PC version of �03 was the one I played. PC got a bunch of real good sports game ports around that time. That I as a poor kid could easily pick up a year later for nothing in a bargain bin.
