Doesn't Atlus know we have jobs and families!?! The monsters! The last time I remember going that full-tilt into an RPG was the 90s when I was a little kid playing Xenogear for 80 hours til completion.

I'm embarrassed because my wife who is often not even in the room had to point out that it was an identical birdcall depending on where I stood. I'd solved the first two by blind guessing and she put together the notes thing. I'm still stuck on the wolf-howling second half though

Persona 5 is calling me like a Siren on the rocks of my free time. Everybody is saying the game takes 100 hours and I feel like with the limitd time to game I have now, I'd be lucky to finish the game before Elon Musk figures out how to upload my brain to a smart-fridge. Also, I'm on the fence because I find anime…

Old Hunters is as good as DLC gets man.

The aesthetics for DS2 were on point but even in places that were drop dead gorgeous like Shrine of Amana, it never clicked for me like the other ones did (also fuck those little dudes hiding in the water the whole time). I still love it obviously because it's dark souls but just not as much. Plus the DLC is so…

Nintendo products are flippers and scammers bread and butter. There's still probably a good 10% of the NES Classic stock just floating online around waiting for people to buy it at giant markups.

Save-scumming isn't that bad considering the game can decide that your 90% chance to land a kill shot landed on the 10% miss side… from 1… tile… away.

At this point, I feel like getting a Switch online is like trying to get Burning Man Tickets online. You either have to have the luck of the Irish and a super modem or an exorbitant amount of money to blow on marked up eBay prices.

It's a re-skinned Banjo & Kazooie. That's a pretty good indication. Also they booted out the voice over from that YouTube star who turned out to be surprisingly racist.

Happy Birthday Flim, you can tame and ride me anytime. ;)

You got a link to the Catherine LP? I've always wanted to try that game but it isn't available on any of the systems I own right now (unless I want to dig my 360 out of storage).

Sethian sounds interesting. I also have developed a new found appreciation for "games that are better if you take notes" so I might try it ever get back into Steam.

Have fun with Scholar of the First Sin, it's pretty widely-believed (and rightly so) that DS2's DLC is better than the base-game itself.

Witness, Gungeon & Battlefield One-geon. I'm in a weird place where I a) don't really have a lot of free time to play games and b) have three very different, very fun, very replayable games on the docket. These could be the only three games I need for months and months really.

It really is a great goddam game. How far have you made it? I usually get murdered by whatever of the three 4th chamber bosses i get to (assuming I don't blow it and get killed by an Iron Maiden on the second floor). The game has some seriously crazy bullet patterns as you get farther and farther in. The only…

I've put a $20 "will buy then" tag on it. It does suck that it kinda went crazy with the hype. I myself was all aboard after reading a goddam New Yorker article (!) about it. It was like a game preview filtered through the lens of the New Yorker's in-depth reporting and it got me jacked as all hell. I never…

Maybe go with the Day of the Tentacle as the other two are predicated on bummed youngsters and who wants to think about bummed youngsters after school shit?

I feel you on that backlog game. I honestly thought that the onslaught would slow after the holidays but then Nier, Horizon Zero, Nioh and Gravity Rush 2 all came blasting out of nowhere at light speed. What really makes it tough is that so many games these days are either a) 40 hours long which is about 2 months of…

Rocket League was the first PSN game I got for my PS4 and it blows my mind that it still has an active and healthy community. It's a community I can't take part in because I'm way way way below the skill ceiling at this point and usually just have a team mate who hates me for not being able to fly at the ball like a…

I am not much farther than I was a week ago in The Witness but I did solve ONE tetrimino puzzle so that felt pretty good. I've also been on a pretty good streak with the environmental puzzles, which are quite possibly my favorite. They do cause me to stop everywhere I go and shuffle around while looking at any…
