No More Heroes isn't a game where you waggle the controller, your attacks are all button based it's just whether they're high or low depends on how you aim the controller. It's actually pretty nice if not simplistic. I mean I guess the QTEs were motions but they all work.

The PS3 version I believe ran shittier and had a different graphical style or something but also had stuff that referenced the second game so YMMV.


They can't just give the titanite away.

Oh. Yeah. Duh.

But at least there's also ways to replenish it with items in the environment so you end up not doing it as much as you'd think.

Eventually it will get more content but that's like 6 to 7 months in, why bother getting it when the first Destiny completely changed so much about the economy and basic functions in just its first 3? I'm coming from the perspective of someone who played the first when it came out and has no confidence that Bungie will stick to a gameplan. Many original Destiny activities were bad when it came to wasting your time and being lovely about what constitutes as fun, i.e. gathering those loving minerals.

Yeah I just learned this existed a few days ago, I had never heard of the original but it looks cool


I've played SOMA but I had been waiting for a sale on Hellblade/Observer even though I'm pretty sure they're exactly the kind of thing I'd be into

i guess I'll add White Day/Observer/Hellblade to my spooky october game list


I would like to do this but PSVR is more expensive than a switch

Although while the traffic is pretty hostile, at least they drive fast unlike Austin which is both hostile and slow.

Nintendo wouldnt reveal the 64 controller until shortly before launch. Devs had to reach into a metal enclosure to hold the controller to maintain secrecy

Mark Haigh-Hutchinson-project leader at LucasArts posted:

By Christmas of 1994, we had the basis of the first level of the game, The Battle of Hoth, running quite nicely on the ONYX—“quite nicely” being in high resolution (1280x1024), 32-bit color, and at 60 frames a second. By this point, we had also received a very early prototype of the Nintendo 64 controller. This consisted of a modified Super Nintendo controller with a primitive analogue joystick and Z trigger.

Due to our strict nondisclosure agreement, we were unable to discuss the hardware or the project with anyone outside the core team. Consequently, we would furtively hide the prototype controller in a cardboard box while we used it. In answer to the inevitable questions about what we were doing, we replied jokingly that it was a new type of controller—a bowl of liquid that absorbed your thoughts through your fingertips. Of course, you had to think in Japanese….

Thanks to Battlefront Ultimate being £3.99 on PS store I picked it up and gave it another whirl. (I originally played a bit of the bare bones version on PC in february).

Holy Moly this game is beautiful and sounds amazing and is fun to play and control for me! I played a lot of the training and a few skirmishes (not ready to go up against other people yet). I feel like I stole from EA at this price! It's so dang good! Flying x wings about and controlling AT-STs was awesome, running about and shooting with the actual film weapons made me smile tremendously. Good heavens, what a wonderful time!

If they were to actually do it, I'd just want them to do two things: touch up the graphics a bit and let them fill out the back half of the game. Maybe some quality of life fixes like the FF remasters got. Anything else would be crazy.

Thinking back on old weird JRPGs, whatever happened to the Breath of Fire series? I remember playing one of those and really enjoying it way back in the day.

Dragon Quarter was genuine a well-made game with a lot of interesting and unique ideas and a very solid combat system. It just was a bad idea to market it as BoF 5 (which it was in Japan) because it represented a massive diversion from what up until that point had been an incredibly reliable and traditional series. Part of it was an attempt to refresh the series after increasingly poor sales though so it's a hard situation to be in.

It also actually wasn't much darker than the other BoF games. Pretty much all of them stressed the idea of dragons being a Really loving Bad Thing and had some incredibly awful moments (BoF4 had a cannon literally powered by human sacrifice that was more effective if the person sacrificed cared about the target, for example.) It's just that because transforming into a dragon is cool they tended to make dragon transformations spammable as gently caress which sort of devalued the "this is a really bad thing" things the story focused on.

BoF5 is actually my favorite in the franchise but it's very easy to understand why it bounced off fans so hard. It'd be like if Torneko's Mysterious Dungeon had been the next Dragon Quest. Even if it's a super good game it's a completely different game. Final Fantasy (barely) gets away with that because it's so expected.

beat the first boss in Ruiner last night and was getting my rear end kicked until I realized the "planned dash" mechanic can be used to rope a dope and dash through at the last second. The game mechanics can get so frantic that planning your placement with the Dash ability makes it like Hotline Miami if you were Barry Allen. Game is brutal even on Normal difficulty but gives you leeway with abilities, so it might not be as numbing as Hotline Miami. Overall so far it's sick and really unique.If you liked HL then this will extremely be your poo poo.
