I play one game at a time. But I sometimes play some overwatch/rocket league Whilst going through that game. And I keep buying games. I still have some sealed games I bought in 2014.

I've now stopped buying games unless I want to start playing them immediately, even if it's a really good deal... I just have too many goddamn games in my backlog at this point and what appears to be diminishing time to play them.

Still playing Persona 4- did they kinda rebalance any of the bosses in P4G? Teddie's shadow was an HP sponge that, while not actually too difficult, took forever to go down.

I should start doing this too. Bonus is that is saves some money.
The thought of If I don't buy it now while it's on sale. It'll cost me more later has been really bad for me.

I've been wondering, Has there been a game where midway, or at the end a party member betrays you and takes all the equipment they had equiped with them?
It would be a dickmove, but surely a developer has done this?

If it's like Disgaea 5 on the PS4. The DLC characters completely break the game.
If you do want to get it on PS4. The season pass has gone on sale a few times. And as far as I know, the season pass includes all DLC.
I think the portability of the Switch would be great for a game like Disgaea 5 though.

Don't get me wrong. I also like long games. Persona 5 has me completely hooked and I hope it never ends. It's really good. But I prefer shorter games now so that I can finish them in a week or 2.
The problem is that I just keep buying games really.

What game is it

When I was in high school we spent many a class period playing Quake 3.

Thems were the days.

Gigantic.
A moba. Game is fine and all but I'm not too big on moba's. I don't play dota or league or any moba really. Is overwatch a moba?

Now next month when the Tekken 7 tournament starts is where i'm going to shine.

Kickstarted games also include FTL, Hyper Light Drifter, Kentucky Route Zero, Shantae, Superhot, the new Torment, Shadowrun, Lisa, Pillars of Eternity, Darkest Dungeons, Sportsfriends, Freedom Planet, Risk of Rain, The Fall, Octodad, Some of the best pinball tables ever for Pinball Arcade, Valdis Story, Volgarr The Viking, Divinity, Divekick, Hollow Knight and probably others.

I mean, don't get me wrong, the ratio of good to bad Kickstarter games is skewed heavily towards the mediocre to terrible but when people act like Shovel Knight is only good thing to come out of Kickstarter, I find it a bit disingenuous.

I stand corrected.
I had no idea some of those games were kickstarters. I was wrong. Don't like all of them but FTL is fun as gently caress.

Ubisoft is more than capable of making fun, creative platformers that are gorgeous to look at and listen to. It's a shame they so rarely do them.

I personally don't like it much in a "too difficult for its own good" way. It's not a bad platformer, but it makes me miserable to play, so I can't recommend it in good conscience.

I still really like it. I may have stockholm syndrome though as I somehow managed to get to the cake world when I was a kid. the difficulty ramps up at band world and peaks at art world imo. But I believe the game has aged incredibly well. especially for a ps1 game.
the colorful graphics and soundtrack are amazing.
