I filled the survey as well. It’s mostly focused on “games preservation”. I’m not up to pay subscription for anything they’re willing to offer and even made sure to tell them that I’m willing to pay a premium for whatever useful content (games) end up exclusive to subscribers
I thought I heard rumblings on Xitter about Sega putting out a post showing Sonic Unleashed recently due to the Unleashed Recompilation project recently released, but I can’t confirm because I refuse to go there.I wasn’t able to find any posts about it on their BlueSky Sega West account, so I have no idea whether it’s true or not.
If it is true they might be thinking about making an official PC port, I might just hold off on starting over in the unofficial PC port and just stick with my save on xbox360… at least until news comes out that they’re going to somehow have ruined it due to evil DRM and some sort of microtransaction shop that allows you to play as Sonic, but get this! With green shoes instead of red! That, and the price being a full $60-70, if not $100 dollar game for a decade plus old game, with the caveat that the Recompilation project be shut down because it hurts their profits.
I got this game for free on GOG. I’m more stoked to play it now. It sounds both depressing and thought-provoking. That’s my bread and butter where games are concerned. Love your review.
I got it for free too! It’s my first Prime-giveaway and the first game on GOG I have ever finished. I really wanted to try the Bioshock-inspired Close to the Sun but that game was just too heavy for my system
Randomly trying games on my phone, I downloaded Infinity Nikki and I’ve been hooked for the past few days.
I like the customization, especially when compared to the more limited one in FFXIV, although I wish it had dyeing (and more jackets). Compared to other gacha games, I like how “the grind” is more focused on crafting clothing instead of just leveling up, although resources (and by that I mean the timed energy) feel a bit too scarce.
I finally finished Trails of Cold Steel II, or more accurately I watched the final story cutscenes because I gave up towards the end of the final dungeon (Which I’m glad I did because it otherwise would have been a waste of time).
The duology was really bad, I don’t think there’s anything positive I can say about it, other than that it’s finally over (hopefully III is actually better as I’ve heard). I’ve already complained about the characters in previous, so I’ll now complain about the rest.
rant + various potential spoilers up to and including CS2The overall story felt pointless, at best it added nothing to what was already established, at worse it made the civil war feel like a joke. I think it would have been better to just skip to the end as what was mentioned in Azure felt bigger than what actually happened in CS. The writing is childish and really doesn’t fit the setting it’s trying to build. The supposed war doesn’t feel like an actual conflict. This was an issue with the previous games too, but this time it feels like it’s done to a ridiculous amount: the bosses either escape because the were “holding back” or a more powerful ally comes in and solves the situation. The game doesn’t want to remove anyone from the story, so everyone just leaves every fight and no one ever dies (I’m pretty sure there are 3 deaths in the whole war, and one of them I’m sure is another fakeout). I don’t find Ourobororos that interesting of an enemy, their motivations are too vague and I find the current active enforcers boring characters. Crow feels like a waste of a character. He’s the only one I feel had any potential, but he has barely any screentime (in both games) and the way Class VII is obsessed with him feels really weird and unmotivated.
Overall I think the two games were bad in the worst way possible: they were a boring waste of time.
If you didn’t like the story in Cold Steel so far, I don’t think the next game probably isn’t going to change you mind. I think it actually gets even worse.
Azure and Zero are definitely my favorite games of the series, since they just don’t have anything to do with the rest of the story, until the very end.
I’ll probably wait a bit to play III, but I’ve heard it’s alright from people who hate I and II. Although I’ve also heard that IV is not good.
Azure and Zero are definitely the best ones, I really liked FC and SC, although they do have some problems (the first half of SC is pretty bad, and the same problem with ouroboros I mentioned before) and I think 3rd has an interesting story, but bad gameplay and pacing.
So, I think most of the Trails games are garbage, but since I played them like five years ago over two months, up to CS3. Now I feel obligated to play the rest as well. Hate-playing or something.
Since there’s been a bunch of new games released since then, I might have to do another one of these “marathons.”
I started a Minecraft modpack called “Raspberry Flavoured”. It stood out to me because it boldly reworks many vanilla mechanics, while focusing on keeping a mostly vanilla playstyle. Villagers, the end, XP and enchanting, all completely removed. It reworks early game progression to use copper in place of stone, and copper has now become one of the most useful resources. It does have Create, so late game looks like it’ll be heavy on automation. The recipes are changed so early game still has mining, chopping and smelting. But it’s a breath of fresh air so far and the mods are incredibly well integrated!
I love Lethal Company :) It's so fun and silly, and it has ridiculously deep mechanics that keep it interesting to play for hundreds and thousands of hours. I've been playing it solo for a while now and it's a really good challenge.
