@DennisReynolds I always thought it was neat how with E26 they had basically no budget due to the office manager blowing it all on gummy bears, so they couldn’t hire voice actors nor a typist. All the characters communicate solely through interpretive dance. Neat example of working within artistic constraints, though a bit much to take in one sitting, being the longest game in the series at 472 hours.
Never had any desire to play E30, as the experiment in having the whole game take place in a high school cafeteria seemed like pandering to a niche crowd.
@Sequel Honestly at this point I’m so bored with the idea of Bloodborne 3, I’m hoping they just skip right to 4, but in an edgy twist, simply call it Bloodborne. Please be turn-based!!🦆
@NEStalgia Nonetheless, as a DQ fan since 1989 (that’s Dragon Quest, not Dairy Queen), I feel completely entitled to embarass myself and everyone around me in the most messy way possible until I get what I deserve as a fan. Apropos of nothing, I wonder if anyone on here knows Yuji Horii’s home address? 😃
@NEStalgia “All about the f---ing hero of g-----n light. An emotional tale about a broken hero dealing with love, loss, regret, and lots of puff-puff… It'll also include a Lara Croft cameo.”
Does it make me a bad person that you just made me realize that’s all I’ve ever really wanted from a Dragon Quest game?
I only play AAAA games, and Ubisoft have yet to say if this is one such. Why the silence? I have never played anything less than AAAA in my life, which means Skull and Bones remains the only video game I’ve ever been able to tolerate. Mere AAA Insomniac/Guerilla/Naughty Dog tripe is for peasants 🤮🤮🤮. No AAAA or above, no buy!!1!
@naruball No, you’re correct of course. I probably didn’t read the article carefully enough and hadn’t realized he’s violent. Certainly nobody should have to entrust him with their safety. It’s still sad to think of anyone so young being locked away for life though, short of actually committing murder.
What a waste. MI6 should hire the kid, buy him a TI-92 calculator, and aim him at Russia. He’d be performing a massive public service and probably enjoy himself more than screwing with video game publishers. Not that I condone what he’s done, it’s deplorable, but talk about failure to make proper use of an asset.
Rumor has it Gilson B Pontes is cooking up something special. It’s such a travesty that Elden Ring ripped him off so shamelessly. Truly the finest Playstation exclusive developer! ( /s, before I get savaged by you lovely people)
@Dezzy70 I think about 11 years from announcement to release is about right. I have such fond memories of that decade I spent getting hyped for Final Fantasy Versus XIII/XV. Brilliant marketing strategy, kept me from buying any other games from 2006-2017, and now it will be up to my grandkids’ grandkids to work through my backlog. I’ve already revoked their college savings accounts so they’ll have more time to focus on gaming.
@AndyKazama Poor Mike, he was only a week from retirement. They originally had dlc planned where his widow had to navigate signing up for health insurance after his death, but it was cancelled after being determined to be too horrifying for children.
They’ll somehow have to find time for the remake of the first third of their greatest game, Metroid Other M, Part I. I heard the classic game beloved by generations of children will now be in glorious dynamic HD (540p undocked*) with full analogue drift action!
Well that explains why the lead character keeps screaming the same thing over and over while his friends are trying to engage in combat operations and would probably prefer not to draw too much attention. Here I thought to myself, “how cool they finally made a Final Fantasy with a brain damaged protagonist”, but it turns out the code is just glitched.

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Does anyone know if I have to play the first 32 games to understand what’s going on, or can a new fan jump in here?

Seriously, **** Chadley. I hope they include a minigame where you set him on fire.
