I'm assuming you'll also need whatever the price of the ps4 ultra neo edition is if you want to maintain a high enough framerate to not vomit every time you use the PSVR

Yeah they said neo would give psvr higher framerates at the neo reveal and I was like "uhh shouldn't framerate be top priority no matter the platform"

I'm thinking of making my 2017 Gaming themed. In that, each month I play a specific kind of game and only that sort of game for the whole month in order to whittle down my backlog.

So far I have

Japanuary - Jrpgs and games from the Japanese developers.
Fpsbruary - 1st person shooters only.
March -
April -
May -
June -
July -
August -
September -
Spooktober - Scary games/games designed to create fear.
Neverember - Classics I own that I've never gotten round to (scary amount of this).
Indecember - Indie Games.

Can anyone help with suggestions months and styles of games?

Artifex April - hidden object games
MetroidMaynia
Randomly Junerated - roguelike games
Boo-ly - spooky games in the summer
Au-Gust - nothing but atelier games
Strangetember - weird games like The Void, Pathologic, EYE Divine Cybermancy
Coin-Optober - arcade games
Point n Click Advember

What is everybody else up to?

did some writing and beat two more games tonight (Sideway New York and a hidden object game)

tomorrow I will start either on Titan Quest or Halfway (not related to Sideway). also Win the Game (which is not a meme but an early game by the Eldritch/Neon Struct devs that's free on Steam)

Also, is Sideway that game where you play as like graffiti or something, I remember some game where you looked like a graffiti drawing and sideway sounds familiar.

Yeah Sideway is the graffiti game. It was surprisingly short, maybe just over 2 hours long.

ive found that if there is more than one black person or woman in the main or peripheral cast of a nerd IP, the fanbase calls it 'forced diversity'

i dont think there's any setting in western media where it makes sense for there only to be white people so i wont really ever get the 'forced diversity' argument

not writing minority characters poorly is a different story

if paper mario had black toads it'd increase the character design variety by 200%

ROM was too overly prose-y, and as stated before you can't have a world where your message is about 100% inclusion and then have an oppression METAPHOR, it makes no sense

I actually liked the gameplay of it. it's just the story is weak

monsters & monocles http://store.steampowered.com/app/328510/

it's a twin stick shooter trying to enter the same market as enter the gungeon and nuclear throne. it's starting to get crowded so i dont know that M&M is going to be able to stand out. it is fun, it opts for silly sort of zombies ate my neighbors feel with mummies, ghosts, werewolves, slime monsters, etc. the weapons mostly feel good except for the revolver which sucks.

the persistent element are relics which you can upgrade with the money you get in your run (your coin bank resets when you game over), a lot of them are weapon specific so not necessarily super useful unless you already have the weapon on you (you can carry 2 weapons at a time, 3 relics at a time). there are temporary buffs that last as long as you're alive, some with + and - (one gives you DMG up and Recoil up at the same time for example), so you can become really powerful the more you can grab in one life. this actually i think makes the game a little too easy, so maybe they need to balance it some more. although... there are 3 'zones' right now and 3 more are planned so maybe it's okay. you only have 3 lives for the ENTIRE RUN so if the difficulty continues to scale across the last 3 zones maybe that will level it out

it's EARLY ACCESS .. right now their upcoming update adds the 4th zone, so they seem to be on track, but you might want to wait. when you beat all 3 zones you complete a 'loop' and can play the zones again but they're harder. i'm not sure how they'll work that out when they have all 6 zones in

I've never known anyone who owned a Vita that didn't like Japanese games to the point of being human garbage.

i own a Vita and I rarely buy games for it because too many of them are just not to my taste

the last one I bought I think was either Steinsgate or Trails of Cold Steel

the latter I won't play until I beat Trails SC on PC first

I'm glad DQ Builders exists on Vita although most Vita ports are trash it feels like, at least in terms of framerate
