This weekend I really want to try to finish Hollow Knight for the first time. I have made multiple attempts at the game, but kept bouncing off it. Today I started a new save file and this is my most serious attempt at finishing the game yet.

Ok, should I get Last Remnant, Star Ocean the Last Hope or maybe dot Hack from this PS store sale?

Each is roughly 10 space dollars

Last Remnant for sure. Star Ocean is a bad game.

Reached the part in Tales of Vesperia where the evil councilor guy has been caught red-handed but used his political connections to basically pardon himself and it looks like he's going to get away with everything until the main character sneaks out that night and just loving murders him in cold blood

If I hadn't played Tales of Vesperia, I wouldn't be able to tell if you were joking and actually describing the 2020 U.S. election.

My understanding is that Stadia works on any device now that can use Google Chrome. The only hardware Google sold themselves that had support for Stadia, was Google Chromecast, and a controller that was supposedly pretty nice. Google just couldn't figure out how to make game streaming work, and they didn't put in the effort to fix the issues, on top of having a really bad marketing campaign at launch. I think Google should have gotten into the native hardware business and shipped a console that could compete with the Nintendo Switch. With Google's unlimited amount of money, they could have been a strong competitor in that space if they also worked on their own first party titles.

30% drop in 3 years doesn't seem catastrophic to me given they haven't put out anything major in that time (yes, W3R's colossal failure notwithstanding)

This is true. Blizzard has put Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, and Diablo III into maintenance mode. Overwatch 2, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo IV are all in development hell cycles where they have disappeared.

For those curious about performance for RE Village on PlayStation 5, ray-tracing turned on results in a significant frame rate hit and slowdown, but turned off the game is a solid 60fps the whole way through, with only a very minor drop in graphic quality.

I still think Star Fox Assault was unfairly dismissed. If it weren't for the ground missions it'd be a pretty good sequel.

Really I just want a Star Fox game with more than a couple of hours of content (no not that one).

Direct sequels to Star Fox 64 that play exactly like that game, is all I really want. But Nintendo must have put in the marketing research and determined that not enough people would buy and play a game like that in console generations after N64. A remaster of Star Fox 64 would be really nice to have too, I still to this day play the game on my N64.

Its not necessarily that. Games are big projects, you can only have so many irons in the fire at once. Could be they know a starcraft 64 remake would be popular but Miyamoto or somebody wanted to play around with the tablet screen so that's what we got. Then after that does poorly its hard to justify the budget for the starfox 64 clone when there's marios to be made.

It's kinda bad that I completely forgot there is a remaster on 3DS and I own it.

The Starfox 64 3DS version is pretty good, actually.

Yes! It's the best version of the game, unless fans have done the effort of remastering it for PC with emulation, which I don't think has ever happened.

Had a really really good sekiro session today

Just had my dinner but I beat some tough old mini bosses and have a big boss left as well as a couple of other bosses at some point. I think I am close to the end. At the palace . This game is superb!

Your stream was fun to watch! I hope you will continue streaming. More regular, consistent streams would be really fun to watch.

While the combat system is pretty good, Octopath traveler is very dire in its writing and localization, and its failed stylistic experimentation, disjointed story structure and unnatural sounding dialogue end up making the entire thing feel very sterile and boring. I am not looking forward to this studio's next game at all.

Oh it has voice acting too, and it is very bad.

E: The dungeons suck too, almost forgot.

I am with you on being disappointed with Octopath Traveler. At first glance it looked like it should have been a great RPG.

The remake apparently did well enough to remake Zwei

As far as how it plays after patching its nice and smooth and looks quite good. The "problem" I guess is its a fairly bare bones port of a game with a whopping 6 levels and a final boss. There are some neat cheats they added (god mode, speed up, one hit kills, etc) but for 25 bucks its a lot to ask unless you absolutely love Panzer Dragoon.

Wait for a 1+2 double pack I guess?

Edit: there is a joke achievement of sinking 100 or more hours into the game.

I bought it on both Switch, and PC in order to support it. So glad that paid off if Zwei is being remade as well. There is also a first person VR version of the first game in development.

I use TurboTax, so that helps bring down the amount of time necessary considerably. If you try to file your taxes with the official IRS documents, it can take awhile if you are doing more than just a W-2. I have to submit taxes for that, my house, a health savings plan, and some other stupid poo poo that the IRS already knows about but still requires that I submit for.

Nothing makes me start skipping the cutscenes / dialog faster than when a game gives the player control and then you lose it again to another cut scene after taking 5 steps. I'm looking at Trails of Cold Steel IV where this was a thing every 10 minutes in order to show you 35 hours of dialog heavy cutscenes.

I'll watch every cutscene once but if I die and have to replay them I will absolutely skip everything on the way back to where I was

Final Fantasy X has really long cutscenes just before boss fights, and on the PlayStation 2 version you couldn't skip the cutscenes.

Parasite Eve ends with like, 10 mintues of unskippable cutscenes, and then a 4 phase boss fight, and then a FAKE save point. If you touch the fake save point you lose lol go back to the start of the cutscenes.

It's great.

I learned this the hardway last year when I played last year for the first time. You have a phase where you have to run away from the boss and if you mess up even a little bit you are totally screwed and will die. You then have to do the entire boss fight all over again.
