why is it that so many downloadables are getting released physically now? Did ms and Sony loosen up the restrictions?

There's at least one company set up just to produce limited run copies of downloadable titles because people would rather buy physical. I don't get it myself but hey.

Serious question, are any of these actually good or is it just dating sims and porn games? The only VNs I've played are FSN and Hatoful Boyfriend which I understand are not particularly representative of the rest of the genre.

Root Double and World End Economica are genuinely good and worth the $12 tier alone, and Highway Blossom is pretty cute if you're into yuri, no idea on the rest.

I've been going though some of my old games I never finished, today's was Silent Hill Downpour and now I remember why I never finished it.

I've also been plodding through the first Dark Souls, which I've never finished, and the amount of vertical areas where gravity is the worst killer is really getting to me right now. Also I got cursed in the Great Hollow then a mushroom punched me.

Conservatives are still likely to end up the biggest party so it'll depend on what happens when/if we get a hung parliament.
The gains are still a huge victory for Labour though and a disaster for the Tories.

There's also a sequel called The Devil's Daughter which isn't as good but worth it if you like C&P and see it cheap.

It's also apparently a pseudo-MMO lol.

People are just speculating because that's UbiSoft's thing now, I think they said it'll have multiplayer but other than that no one knows anything that wasn't in the all CGI trailer.

Well, it lets you Jojo punch your Co-op partner so hard their pieces fly off and kill everything in the room so it has that going for it.

On the other hand they were kind of begging me to play it and the only game people paid less attention to was Ys so not a great sign.

Ys deserves better

Yeah it looks cool, I guess I'd still have preferred 2D but that was never going to happen. It might be MercurySteam but it's them working under Nintendo and they've turned poo poo into gold before.

When dealing with Japan, always assume that "No" can mean either "No" or "Yes, but I'm saying no for a specific reason" and vice versa with "Yes" answers.

No one ever says no in Japan, just very specific ways of saying yes that means no.

I gotta wonder, with the Metroidvania genre having been pretty well served these last few years by indie devs, is a new SOTN-like really that exciting to people anymore?

Yeah because all the indie ones I've played so far suck rear end

Apart from Ori and maybe a couple of others I haven't played yet like Hollow Knight and Rabi Ribi

I'm easily confused, is Hollow Knight the newest entry in the Shovel Knight series?

There's no connection other than having Knight in the title
