BAR is game #2 of hidden gems I want a full fledged HD re-release of, and possibly a overhauled remake of if done right. #1 is Bushido Blade.

Cop Recruiter: “Lotsa cops are quittin’, we need more cops...”

Hell yeah. Do it. I believe! DO IT!

I really wish you only the best, Riley. Your personal investment in your articles really made for wonderful reads and also some strong community building with the audience at the same time. As Vwtifuljoe says, your daily pandemic check in posts were an excellent bright spot for me during a dark and anxious time. Thank…

Half-Life 3/GTAVI/Next Metroid Prime/Zelda as Main Character/Actually Good New Konami Game confirmed!

A new SSX? That sounds..................... Tricky.

We can’t miss the point if we insist there is no point there in the first place! *taps head and adopts a sage, knowing facial expression*

Yeah, major rust, and not having the vs. cpu quest mode thing to help train me up isn’t great, either. Though I don’t think I would notice if lag is doing anything to me yet, either... I just blame my older gamer reflexes.

I’ll keep plugging away at Final Fantasy XII, but I also picked up VF5 again so I can go online and repeatedly lose to simple pressuring tactics. I’m getting better at dealing with them, though, using ducking punch poking and better evasion and punishing. I still like VF5 a lot because you don’t have to memorize all…

uWubisoft: pwease don’t send the online mobs at us

It hits me in the place where teenage me used to listen to the original Star Wars trilogy soundtracks (and lots of other film scores and symphonies) over and over again because they were cinematic in just sound alone. It’s just that grand!

It just has a feel of a grander epic than most other FFs I’ve played—between the music, the characters, the story (so far) of the kingdoms at war... It just feels way bigger than Tidus having daddy issues and more immersive than the others that felt close to epics like IV and VI.

Now that I’ve gotten a little ways into Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, I’m bringing my Excel skills in to work on my gambits! Though I think I’m still in the intro section, all things considered. I’m not one to dive into giant JRPGs that have convoluted mechanics without consulting at least one good guide, and…

Now that sounds lovely... I can’t wait to use it!

Turns out being absurdly overpowered in Yakuza 0 makes the ending go by really fast, so after the 60 hours of having fun at the Legend difficulty there and getting my last couple of trophies, I breezed through Yakuza 2 Kiwami NG+ in something like six hours and nabbed those last trophies as well. I was tempted to…

In this house we stan Ada Wong.

How dare you do Ronald McDonald and Conan O’Brien’s love child dirty like that

Yakuza 0, especially because I’m so close to careening wildly like the Mad Dog of Shimano towards the finish line. Real Estate and Cabaret Club tasks are all mopped up, Kiryu is obscenely overpowered, all the minigames and pre-Amon substories are checked off, and I’m only a handful of chapters away from the end. Right…

More Yakuza 0, especially now that I’m hitting the acceleration point. I wasn’t sure at first if I was going to want to re-complete the entire completion list, but considering how much of it I’ve done while just enjoying myself, I may as well just go for it. After Majima’s first couple of chapters, I got back to Kiryu…

They didn’t mention Fahey’s Snacktacku? Is that even legal to omit? Gonna end in a mistrial now.
