Mainly Banishers Ghosts of New Eden. I don’t have much money at the moment due to almost 4 months of unemployment, just got a new job and with my first paycheck from 4 days of work I got that, plus the new humble bundle, a couple coloring packs cause I like the pixel coloring books, and a couple games that were $2-3 each: a zelda clone called Blossom Tales, The Snow Fable: Mystery of the Flame (I also like hidden object adventure games), a lovecraftian 2d platformer called The Last Case of Benedict Fox, and adventure game version of Sherlock Holmes: Hound of the Baskervilles and a Wipeout clone called Flashout 3.

Seriously? Are they gonna go after TemTem. Coromon, Cassette Beasts, or any number of Pokémon clones for being too similar? The only thing i can see as a legitimate thing to sue on is if they find out palworld did use AI based off of Pokémon models to generate their models, but I think that was just a rumor anyway.

So… they saw starfield’s expansion and were like, yeah we can do that but better

Zing!

F encompasses all the Final Fantasy , Final Fight, Fable, Fallout, Far Cry, Forza Horizon series, and some individual games like Forspoken, Forsaken, Fez, Fermi Paradox, Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy, Fae Tactics and many others.

I mean… all these glitches really seem tame compared to skyrim on launch. Talk about a dumpster fire but it’s one of the best selling games of the century.

You didn’t build a garden in bejeweled. I said original match 3 and build. I was playing bejeweled on a flip phone. Didn’t know about shariki.

Gardenscapes is the original match 3 and build a mansion and is still my favorite. There are micro transactions to get additional power ups, but the fact that they are constantly updating with new seasonal events and you never run out of levels

It’s the same reason people thought Stephen Colbert was a champion of conservatism until he moved to the tonight show.

Going to my step dads house when my mom first started dating him and playing Pitfall on his Colecovision in the late 80’s. I was 3.

Yeah. How I am with it. Spend so much time modding that I never actually get around to playing it. Add that to thr mod that makes every building have an interior and suddenly even when I do play it it takes forever to get anywhere

I never started episode 2. I knew that was the end and just… never played it to keep things non definitive

I torture myself cause I always start series from the beginning. Megami tensei 1 and 2 were an absolute slog, shim megami tensei isn’t much better. Really all these early ones I just need to have gamefaqs up on my phone the whole time cause I’ll have no idea where I’m going. Shin megami tenseis not AS bad. I generally can find where I’m going, but if I take any sort of break to play another game I come back lost.

Well, if you do want to play on pc, KOTOR is an amazing game, and if you can’t get past the old graphics, there are upscaling mods https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1302?tab=files

Lol. I too will play on my steamdeck… even though i actually do own the switch remake which means I’m not technically pirating it

#1 seller for me is the fact that the bumpers are better replaceable cause they’re attached to the joystick board not the button board. That was the ibiggest pain for me cause when they stopped working on my first deck I had to send it in, and they gave me a new one wiping out all the software customizing I had done. I can feel the bumper going on my current deck a few months ago, it only works if you press it a certain way and one small jostle could make it stop entirely again and I’ll need to RMA AGAIN.

I mean, valhalla did have every weapon under the sun, sure, but before unity you couldn’t even permanently switch your weapon. Swords and hidden blade are all you had, other than utility items like maybe a gun or bombs. In some earlier games you could disarm your enemies and use their weapons, but other than that it was Swords. So with this being a ‘return to classic AC’ it’s actually chill that there’s only a couple different Swords and daggers to equip, rather than an arsenal. It’s just not what this game was going for. Combat does take a bit to get used to coming from valhalla but I wouldn’t say it’s ‘janky’ it’s just far more tactical. In valhalla or Odyssey you could murder entire fortresses of dudes like it was nothing in your combat gear, but this is going back to stealth. You wanna take out guys stealthily cause combat is much harder. You need to do your strikes precisely, parry and dodge at the right times, choose which envies to attack in order of threat and ability to take them out. I like it.

It’s not even the lowest so far, it’s the third lowest. Unity and Rogue where rated lower, and I get that. unity was a buggy mess on launch but is my personal least favorite even after they fixed it, and Rogue was basically a black flag expansion, which was fine. I don’t think that deserved to be so low cause I found the story great, an assassin defecting to the Templar was exactly the sort of story the series needed to show, that not everyone sees the assassins as the good guys.

Mirage so far is… ok. I’ve done a fair share of exploring the map and I can say it’s probably only the size of one of Valhallas expansions, which is fine, we paid a fraction of the price they charge for a full assassins creed game. Some assets are reused from Origins, which is fine, we’re in the desert again. I’m not sure if it’s just the shock of going from a fully leveled Eivor to a skilless unequipped Basim, which I experienced the past 2 games, or if this is generally harder than previous entries. Thr fact they brought back notoriety mechanic that was missing from valhalla, and also brought back the mercenaries hunting you from Odyssey, AND the fact that when you die your notoriety doesn’t reduce, and while they brought back the stupid wanted poster mechanic, they are few and far between to rip down, and you need special tokens to bribe the town criers… I’m liking the new challenge, keeps me on edge, makes me really think about whether I should kill a guard or sneak by.

Ff14 is the reason my Backlog got as bad as it did. My plan was to quit after end walker but instead I never even finished the story and I hate myself for it cause I played since 1.0, but every time I go back I just keep thinking of every other game I could be playing instead and don’t wind up playing more than an hour.

When I’m not playing baldurs gate 3, I’m stopping in on baldurs gate 1 which I didn’t play back in the day(I only had 2), The original kingdom hearts, a second playthrough of final fantasy remake in anticipation of rebirth, outer worlds, midnight Suns, guardians of the Galaxy, star ocean the last hope, and thr ever present vampire Survivors and Binding of Isaac. I’ve been hopping games frequently recently.

That was last year yo.
