There is a new Hello Kitty game, that is basically an Animal Crossing clone, called Island Adventure, and its exclusive to Apple Arcade right now, but I really hope it eventually comes to Steam, and consoles.

I'm really enjoying the Ratchet and Clank remake now that I've gotten past the early game where your gun options kind of suck. It also helps that I started skipping every cutscene.

How does "The Source Code For The Games We Made" get lost in this day and age? :psyduck:

The fastest I've seen it happen in a non-game context, with supposedly stronger procedures in place to prevent it, was 3 days after the lead dev left. If it's there but no one important knows it is, then it's as good as gone. Also we do actually get rid of repositories for older projects once they're not actively used anymore. The context is different, but all it takes is someone in charge deeming them useless.

Alert to Australian gamers, jbhifi has octopath 2 on switch for $49, which is 35 off rrp. I'd been waiting for a discount before I bought it since I was lukewarm on the first game. I know it's also on other platforms but I don't care about this, switch 4 life.

They seem to have removed every version of Unreal from every storefront including GOG which just seems unnecessary and hostile. Like they don't want any acknowledgment that Unreal ever existed except as the engine for Fortnite.

I've poured like 10 hours into theatrhythm this weekend, kinda wild. Not sure if it's a great game but it sure is engaging, it turns out the tiny rpg elements are compelling enough. I do really like how there's no penalty for playing on the easiest difficulty, as far as I can tell you get the same rewards. I tried dipping my toe on Normal and i'm just not ready for it, it feels like classic "patting your head and rubbing your stomach" to me and i can't handle it. Some optional objectives require beating songs at the hardest difficulty but there's also a simple "one-button" mode that can be activated at any time, very friendly

I get the feeling that 100%ing the optional objectives will require ferocious amounts ffx-post-game-style grinding to level up your guys, probably not going to go that route

One thing is that sometimes the selection of songs is a little strange, like there are some quiet songs without much of a rhythm, at which point the gameplay becomes mostly visual, trying to time the notes based on visual cues instead of audio. Kinda weird. Also, there's no Turk theme from ff7? The most percussive song in the entire ff mythos? Embarrassing

theatrhythm's super friendly and approachable gameplay that doesn't punish you for playing on the easiest settings, is why I love it so much. Its the only rhythm game I have really enjoyed.

8bitdo is making a mechanical keyboard, and I sorta love the aesthetic a LOT


You can also order giant super buttons


Comes in Famicom flavour as well

Doesn't state what sort of switches they are tho

We're currently progging on this horseshit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0s-vKq0zeg

If any of the giant red zones touch you, you die
You need to use knock backs to break through walls at specific intervals to allow enough space to spread out
Requires precise non-stop positioning
In the last phase each player has to go to an individual void zone to avoid a nuke ability. Any double ups and players die/overwhelmed by adds

The video isn't showing the weakaura/UI aid that's hidden off screen that basically shows you where to stand and when

I sorta love it, cause I'm only logging in for prog raid nights atm, and I'm playing a bunch of other poo poo rather than "My 2nd job is Wow" nonsense of old.

I haven't played this one yet but in the older ones there were some drops that were easier to get on higher difficulties because you needed to do more damage/hit more notes to burn through enough enemies for the boss to spawn before the song ended

I’m pretty good at music games, and even for me getting the platinum took some special planning (aka looking up how to use a completely broken party setup) for some of the missions.

It’s fun, don’t get me wrong, but it’s never not weird to get a 99.8% score on a song and still fail the mission for it.
