Metroid Samus Returns will be good or else this can't be the year that finally topples 1998 in terms of best games year.

Is there a metroid thread and if not is anyone planning to make one? Figure i might make a megathread to serve as a thread for both samus returns and eventually prime 4.

Where on your side was this? I've had nosebleeds while sleeping that left big red puddles on my pillows without me even realizing because I have black pillow covers.

Considering this is for what became Lost Levels I can definitely understand points 3 and 6.

Due to me living in the middle of nowhere, I will likely not get Ys 8 in the mail until a few days after it comes out so I would just like to wish everyone else getting it a good time with one of the worst localizations in recent history.

Also the PC port is garbage apparently.

i have survived irma and completed step one of my three step plan to play ys 8, game of the month september 2017

step two is pray with all my heart that it gets delivered tomorrow and that the mail people didn't get owned by irma

step 3 is ignoring how god awful the localization is.

Who plays ys games for the story? Skip that poo poo and kick some rear end

Normally i would agree with you but this is apparently the one where Falcom tried. Plus even setting story aside those games always have great self aware goofs with Dogi and other side characters which will probably be lost in how lifeless they all are now.

It was always gonna get here late cause I live in the literal middle of nowhere so I'm gonna use some of my excess bday money to double dip on the eshop version because I want Metroid to do well and not go dormant for another ten years

ive been told that persona 5 is actually a bad game because it is aggressively homophobic

i never noticed it so i think the dude telling me this is full of poo poo

It's definitely in there but its not as huge as that dude makes it seem.

I liked Persona 5 but it kind of went no where thematically after a really strong start.

The extent of it was just "hey which of your friends do you love" and you could pick the guy and the guy loved you back and that was it, nothing more, nothing less.

What are rpgs with good depictions of gay characters? Good in this case being defined as "not gay panic oh-no-what-if-I'm-gay" poo poo and also the gayness not being the source of antagonism with a character.


I really wanna say shadow hearts covenant but I feel like I'm just lying to myself, even though Joachim is definitely really gay and his entire questline is most definitely gay, but not treated as bad, and then there is the gay porn sidequest that nets you additional outfits from the tailor brothers who collect the gay porn in exchange for making new dresses for your puppet.

The entire Trails series has a lot of pretty great lgbt characters. Olivier is pretty openly bisexual and the only sort of panic moment that series has is in the first game from a character who has had a pretty sheltered life and is in the middle of a coming of age journey at the end of which shes totally fine with it cause she's a bit more world wise. Then there's ya girl Angelica Rogner who has a straight up mech fight with her dad so he'll be okay with her being gay. It's good.

Like an actual complaint about the game is it should let you customize whether missiles/spider ball is a toggle instead of a hold because I never liked holding in the gba games and the shoulder buttons on the 3ds are much less comfortable than the ones on gba were.

Samus Returns is very good but if it had customizable controls for d pad movement and toggle/hold settings for missiles and spiderball it'd be :discourse:

Sounds like someone made a dating mod for the RE7 kitchen demo

To this day one of the top moments in dumb press conferences is when they first announced RE7 with "from the team that brought you kitchen" and they had tuned in the audience reaction mic so that you could hear a guy very loudly go "OH NO, I HATED KITCHEN."

here's a sick psx jrpg (based on me playing the demo for it several times a million years ago and never playing the real thing): legend of legaia

Late to respond to this but this game genuinely owns. You enter fighting game inputs and can pull off fighting game moves in a turn based system. The magic is this weird mishmash of final fantasy summoning and pokemon where you can capture monsters you fight and then summon them for spells.

It was a dope game, it should be on PSN if it isn't already.

Exploring in Hollow Knight feels so comfy. It's a much better exploration-platformer than an action game.

I love every time the path takes me there again. Kingdom's Edge also has a really lovely ambience with the snowfall and the violin BGM.

That's not snow, it's molted skin from the giant Wyrm husk at the top of KE wherein the coliseum is built.

not that i'm complaining but why is Ys Origin in French? :confused:

Ys 8 which just came out also has a french language option. I guess the franchise has a big fanbase there?

I think Canada mandates games to be dual language so English/French basically covers the majority of your audience.

Nah all we do is make you have french on the packaging. Europe is the one that has the EFIGS requirement on most things.

Is that recent? I could have also sworn that East Canada required a French option because gently caress East Canada

Nah like I said, all Quebec requires for something to be sold is bilingual packaging. Big companies will sometimes shell out for french dubbing and text ingame to guarantee sales though.

Golf Story is extremely cool and fun and charming and stylish. It's Mario Golf + Earthbound. 15 bucks on switch buy it if you got one.
