What are your 2017 video game hopes, friends?

I hope La Mulana 2 and Bloodstained come out and are good.

The new Downwell expansion is pretty bad.

For a second there I was worried battletech was being stripped of its tactical elements to become mechwarrior 5 and was real worried, but looking it up it looks like both games are coming out so that's super cool!

The game opens with her nearly dying in an avalanche, after that bit she's fine.

I don't care if it "makes sense with this new take on the character" or whatever. The take itself is lame. It's like if they rebooted Duke Nukem into a noodly-armed guy who's constantly screaming in terror at the aliens attacking him.

I'd play that game, it sounds like it'd be way more hilarious than whatever the hell Forever's attempts at comedy were..

La mulana is fantastic but could use a slight rework of some of the more obscure puzzles so it's actually feasible to solve 100% solo, at least for the main path. ESA using it for the postgame was a neat middle ground.

LM devs have said they are aiming to have 2 be much less obtuse but still very challenging. If they nail it LM2 will easily be one of my favorite games ever.

Also that statement, while true, only holds if we are speaking strictly Mega Man.

Because Mega Man X7 still exists and oof.

I played Tools of Destruction for the first time a few weeks ago, finding it just kind of OK. Definitely felt like the type of game I would have been all over when it first came out but in 2016 is just kind of a drag. That said I was toying with the idea of trying out the PS4 remake at some point, so I'd be curious as to know what's wrong with it as well.

Tools of Destruction is the worst non-spinoff one. The good ones are going commando, up your arsenal and crack in time(all of which are available on ps3 pretty cheap)

It's adapting the part that persona 4 is based on too. I'm definitely interested but the cast listing seems to indicate the movie will only cover before the main villain enters the story which is a shame because he's one of the best fictional villains of all time.

Japanuary's lineup is finalised.
For Jan2017 these are the games I will be playing:

On Steam:
Cave Story+.
FF VII.
Killer is Dead.
King of Fighters XIII Steam edition.
Valkyria Chronicles.
Ys 1. (I also have the other Ys games installed in case I really enjoy this one.)

On Vita:
Persona 4 Golden.

The other Ys games outside of 1-2(which should be played together since they are super short and tell one whole story) are vastly different so you should give Oath or Origins a swing even if by the end of 2 the games didn't do much for you.

Oceanhorn is cool but it's pretty simplistic by virtue of being a phone game. What's there is solid all the way through though.

Oh hey, Gravity Rush 2 comes out way sooner than I thought. Well, I'm sold on it from the demo. Anyone know if I need to play the first one for the story or not?

1 is all a bunch of set up for a mystery 2 is set to unravel so yeah you should play it.

also you should play it because its real short and reaaaaaaaaaal good.

too bad the battles are so slow, I kinda wanna replay it but then I remember than I haven't beat a turn based rpg in over a decade :/

E: yes that shamefully includes the renowned and incredible PS2 title, Dragon Quest VIII, which is literally a manifestation of the ideal game that I wished for as a child

One day, guv...one day

Double Edit: I loving lied, thread, I actually beat Persona 3 and 4 Golden a few years ago!

Friend did you know DQ8 was coming out for the 3ds with improved QoL features such as fast forwarded combat in less than a month!

DQ7 3ds is good but by the original game's nature is super exhausting and slow. I'm having to take a break 75 hours in because I just need to play something a bit more varied.

Even just watching it is so much fun. The various Giant Bomb streams of it are a riot. So I'm glad it exists, at least.

Yeah that's how I've been enjoying it, the holiday video in particular was amazing
