Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Also feeling the crunch of FF7 rebirth and Persona 3 Reload. I wasn’t going to pick it up as I have unfinished play throughs of both FES and Portable but was swayed by positive reviews. I just started my first run of Tartarus and already I am happy with my decision as they really have evolved the tu...

Re: 634: DuckTales

Not a reflection of my own game playing experience, but I did want to share seeing a Bit Brigade show where they opened with DuckTales (The Legend of Zelda was the “main” show, but I enjoyed the rock versions of DuckTales more). For those that don’t know Bit Brigade, as their website says, “performs...

Re: 605: Brave Fencer Musashi

I love Square in the late 90s as they were so prolific and took creative risks to produce unique games. 1998 alone had Xenogears, Parasite Eve and then Brave Fencer Musashi, all games with very different experiences, worlds, and tones. With so many games of quality coming out at that time some are b...

Re: 607: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

I'm playing through it on Castlevania Requiem on PS5, has both Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood. Pretty bare bones package but Rondo has played fine for me.

Re: Videogames to look forward to in 2024

Not sure if 2024 will be a slower year but I'd be ok with it because there is so much released in 2023 I still want to play. I definitely will be there for FF7 Rebirth and probably whatever the next gen Nintendo console launches with. Dragon's Dogma 2, Prince of Persia, The Wolf Among us 2, Dragon Q...

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Just finished the Phantom Liberty main story (at least one path) and have had such a good time. I love the stories CDPR have told in this game and appreciate the quality in the writing and performances. The ways the story is told has so many layers of engagement to it and the quality in all the laye...

Ugh, not sure if I want to hang out in the state of Florida, even digitally. But, definitely ripe for satire. Also incredible to look at the original Vice City and how amazing this looks visually.

Re: 582: Myst

My memories of Myst are it being one of those ubiquitous PC games that everyone had but no one could get very far. Probably because everyone I knew was 10 years old. The whole game had a mystique and as we couldn't get very far in the game we would ponder at the box art. Why is there a rocket ship o...

Re: 579: Final Fantasy Tactics / The War of the Lions

I’ve had a three-part relationship with Final Fantasy Tactics unfold over the last 20 years. In 2000 fresh off being wowed by Final Fantasy VII I was looking for more and heard Tactics was a great game. My teenage sensibilities and expectations weren’t appreciative of what the game offered. The grap...

Re: Our next console special podcast recording (28.6.23) - PlayStation Vita

My love for the Vita has all come since 2021 when I purchased a used one from Japan. In those two years I have had some amazing experiences on this beautiful device. It has been a way for me to catch up on Playstation's catalog that I have missed over the years. By having the PS one classics, PSP ga...

Re: Introducing Kids to games

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Started up Live-A-Live. Finished the Prehistory chapter and started the Distant Future chapter. Game's not really grabbing me so far, but I'll give it time to get to its point. Overall, it feels really well made, but also kinda slow. It's a straight remake of a game from 1993, it will stay fairly s...

Please bring this combat system back, Fromsoft! It's too awesome to have been just a one off thing. Yeah agreed I hope they bring it back.
