Dude I did a play through about 4 years ago. It holds up to this day! Fucking fun game, and the color indicator around the enemies was a genius move. Makes it almost like a rhythm game.

Dang, I really need to get another light gun set up lol

I really enjoyed Radiant Silvergun. Just a nice well done shoot ‘em up.

Also partial to Albert Odyssey. The translation is remarkably bad but it did have a nice story and some sweet sprite work. Standard JRPG fair.

The best for me was the Panzer Dragoon series. All 3 are just top notch bangers.

Omg. This is fucking awesome. I’ll tell you what, my child is 100% cool ;)

Oh boy, such a fantastic console.

Saved, thanks chief!

Played this on Gamepass. It had a wonderful story, and getting each unique ending was so satisfying <3.

Holy smokes what an incredible deal. I loved the first XCOM (which I believe is actually a remake). Gonna have to pull the trigger

Fucking sick

You sold it to me!

From the vids I saw, a lot of it is early hijinks at first. Then when shit starts hitting the fan constant communication necessary so you don’t accidentally merc your homies

I may honestly check it out. Watched some gameplay vids last night and it looked like a blast. I’m especially intrigued by friendly fire always being on, as that was such fun gameplay addition but this is entirely baked into the experience

I’ll have to check it out when it’s on sale!

I’ve always wanted to play this game. I played the most of the first one but never beat it :(

Valid complaints. As far as the world being dead, two points. Story wise, it was supposed to be a world somewhat in ruin due to the events 100 years prior to the game. Also, again, switch being underpowered meant they couldn’t necessarily just pack the world full of npc’s and unique monsters.

I feel you on that first statement a little bit, but my biggest gripe of the Switch was they went away from the linear dungeon design of the Zelda’s from Link to the Past and forward. It’s not gods gift to gaming, nowhere close.

It’s interesting to see the impact that Yamauchi had on Nintendo as a whole. Generally Nintendo games focus on gameplay, with graphics and story built towards servicing the gameplay first. Say what you want about exclusives (not a huge fan of them really) but from the ground up when you buy a Nintendo game it’s generally gonna be what you expect from the previews.

Now I hope they push for better specs in the future but that seems like a pipe dream. A game like Zelda BOTW/TOTK is completely held back by the Switch and that’s not good considering how fucking amazing it was to play them

I’m one of these people. Translations/dubs can change the entire tone of the scene if localized incorrect.

Now if there isn’t a direct English equivalent to the Japanese, changes should only be done as absolutely necessary.

My problem with the pro localization argument, is I’m enjoying a Japanese property for the sake of its own metrics. I don’t necessarily want to have my dialogue match what’s “normal” for my region, otherwise I’d just purchase a game that was made in the west.

Japanese storytelling (and any other culture for that matter) is unique. Why change it? In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there are some questionable translation choices that I just can’t jive with (eg: majority of Cait Sith’s catlike banter and the casts reaction to it is glossed over.)

Not to mention people thinking the original story is “problematic” and needs to be “fixed.” If you don’t like a cultures games, don’t play them pretty simple.

I’m still gonna play Unicorn Overlord but I’m not happy with these inaccuracies.

Playing the game now. It’s a lot of fun, some good changes but some negative changes from Remake. The open world portions are just gorgeous. The ubisoft towers and icons are kinda lame but it’s not just a scourge on the map so to speak. The sidequests have been pretty fun, and the soundtrack is awesome.

Storywise, it follows largely the same beats as the original with some changeups to the formula (I haven’t beaten it yet so I expect some wild changes @ the end like last time.). Gameplay is pretty neat but I preferred FF16’s DMC style combat.

All in all I wouldn’t buy it at $70, but at $50 it is well worth it

Sick
