Yousef-

@colonelkilgore Y’know, I never actually asked, how’s the LoS plat? Anything noteworthy?

I will repost what I posted on Nintendo Life.

• Gears of War
• Grand Theft Auto IV (favorite game of all time, doing a playthrough that’s simultaneous with another buddy’s replay)
• Dynasty Warriors 6 (ps2 version, which has more characters than the ps3 version due to releasing after, trust me you’ll need a few re-reads to understand this paragraph)
• Dynasty Warriors 8XLCEDXDE (trust me that wasn’t a keyboard mash, I just happen to have bought all three modern versions of the game. CE on steam, DE on switch and DX on switch which is Japanese, I’m trying to beat all three although I’ll need an SD card, also my L bumper stopped working, that sucks)
• Conker (part of my participation for the Pure Xbox club, it’s also a game I’ve voted for, I’ve also voted for Gears 2, hence why I’m playing Gears 1)
• Way of the Samurai 1-2 (both fantastic games, this is the best samurai sandbox game, if there’s even other games that fall under the label)

@Czar_Khastik in a more serious note, I do have something that’ll help you understand all of KH. Hopefully this will help everything be clear. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yA0Ugi8CTwo&pp=ygUPYW5zZW0gdGhlIHdpc2Ug

@Czar_Khastik
There is a fantastic "short" 4 hour video on youtube that attempts this

Oh no, I know what you’re talking about.

@rjejr I may have needed to clarify I was referring to a new “third person action game” when I said “4th”. I haven’t had any experience with Genesis as I’ve rarely delved into Diablo-likes, not that I’m necessarily against them or anything. Just probably not my cup of tea.

@colonelkilgore I see, thanks. Always open to recs (of any kind), especially of games I never heard of. I’ll have a look. Umbasa.

@colonelkilgore I don’t actually it’ll go that route. Might borrow soulslike elements (which I wouldn’t be against), if it’s an old-gow clone, that’d be a breath of fresh air. But if a new-gow clone wouldn’t be an unwelcome direction either. In fact, I’d love to see what creative Liberties they’d take there.

@colonelkilgore and then the fourth one will be a cooking game.

This kinda peaked with the first game, it was a straightforward Zelda clone with no gimmicks, fun story, very gow-like design and all in all a jolly ol time. Second game, I dropped it twice. Both ps3 and ps4. Too exhausting, too much traversal, Diablo and WoW influence wasn’t my thing, felt like a solo MMO at times and generally less interesting plot. My friends recommended me not to try the third game and I’m not eager to prove them wrong. Hope the 4th game is good although this can just be another “lords of the fallen” case where we get Something with prettier graphics, but same ol uninspired or boring gameplay.

Edit: I wrote this before reading the article, I’ve read it now and happy to see it echoes my “Zelda” sentiments.

@colonelkilgore tragic but true… so many of the old ps2 emulator games didn’t have plats. Max Payne included.
Bully plat is kinda brainless. Just a casual playthrough of the game and asks you to engage with the side content and a few repetitive brainless tasks. Barely any collectibles.

@colonelkilgore manhunt is great : D
Surprising it’s a stealth horror, I really like that combo
The Warriors, I played multiple times. Short and easy game to get through. Fairly brainless plat if you’re interested (2/10 diff rating on PSNP).

@get2sammyb that’s quite alright, I hope you’ll find them more manageable upon a replay and thank you, I appreciate that : D

@colonelkilgore it’s a great game. I like that every npc has a lot to say, cool minigames, fun story, pretty tight game and always only took me 15 hours on each replay (roughly speaking, since I mess around a lot which adds to the playtime, could be 10 hours)

@thefourfoldroot1 as someone who’s fairly versed and acquainted (and welcoming) with “retro design”, bully has little to none of it. It’s extremely forgiving.

I’ve 100%ed this game twice, once on both ps2 and Xbox. Phenomenal game.

former boss Jim Ryan and his entourage

This makes him sound like a gang leader.

@Czar_Khastik you’re right, because that person certainly won’t be me. I’d rather not curse the rest of the world with the knowledge.

@Czar_Khastik I would really prefer if you’d be quiet… but yes you are correct.

“Catchy (if slightly repetitive) music”
Would’ve been preferable if it was quiet.

@Czar_Khastik even if it runs poorly, you still have your ps1.

@Czar_Khastik yeah, I had a ringing in my ears when I had to listen to these trailers. Thanks for showing concern.

@Kidfunkadelic83 haha, nice one! 👍

@nessisonett good read, gotta agree.

Power of AI? Odd, none of the models look like eldritch horror creatures.

@PuppetMaster personally, machine gun kiss and kamurocho love would be my choices. But bakamitai is rad.

Suddenly, I feel hungry for Caesar after watching these.

“But Singing May Come Eventually”
They’ll- Ah crap-biscuits, the joke was already made.

Bungie blunder, huh, has a nice ring to it.

Announcement of an announcement of an announcement? Jokes aside, I’m really intrigued by this game. Will give it a shot when I make room in my backlog.

A DLC for true blockheads.

Being completely honest here, I never knew this even existed. My best friend who’s a gigantic silent hill nerd never once bothered to mention this game, which I suppose is very telling.

@PuppetMaster oh hey I was pretty addicted to super puzzle fighter back in the day. What a throwback.

“Horizon: Forbidden Killzone”
Nah, I jest. But I am excited for whatever they’re cooking.

@PuppetMaster “is it good?”
Sorta? It stood out because Johnathon Blow*** didn’t have much competition and he released it in the midst of game devs trying to stand out as being smart, whether deserved or otherwise. It’s not an incompetent game, but you won’t finish it feeling it like your life changed, in spite of Johnny Jon Johnnjohnn wishes you would.

@Czar_Khastik rumors have it that if you rearrange “LOTR gollum” you will see “GOTR” which reads “Game of the Rear” which means I have no idea what it means.

@Czar_Khastik I sympathize with your position in being unable to encode seriousness, that’s why I have your back, Sir Caesar Acoustic.

I’m ok with this. I liked the original on 360 back in the day and frankly view it more as a novelty or curiosity play by today’s standards. If nothing else, it’s a surprise to see a re-release at all. Otherwise I don’t think there’s much lost if someone doesn’t experience/re-experience the game.
@nessisonett Loved reading this. And agree.

Scream of joy or scream of terror? XD

@Keyblade-Dan it’s tragic. Coolers are pretty expensive these days.

@Czar_Khastik no, re-read his comment. It said “better than death stranding”. It’s a code message. Clearly, this means the game will cure your depression and make not wanna be stranding for death.

It’s tragic what happened to Goat Simulator 2.

It’s legitimately really cool we’re seeing all kinds of games from Chinese devs, as this is quite the unexplored market with tons of potential.

@Olmaz mtx = micro-transactions? Sorry, I don’t recognize most acronyms.

Damn indeed. They’re quite knocking it out of the park. Can’t wait to place my pre-order.
I also strongly appreciate the usage of the anime’s score, as I always jealous that Japanese players got to enjoy those in the original versions of the BT games and it was a shock to my system when I accidentally emulated the JP iterations. It didn’t detract my enjoyment of the original scores of the overseas version, matter of fact I still love ‘em to death, but it made me think about a possible what-if scenario (pun intended cuz I hope there’s decent what-if scenarios in the story mode).

Last edit: dude that trailer was just OOZING with hype. Need to rewatch it with the JP audio too. Namek is my favorite so I feel accommodated. This will really knock it out of the park.

@Czar_Khastik that sounds stupidly dumb. Sony banning Caesar from enjoying his ps3 ;(
(Well at least he still got his ps1 store working)
@PuppetMaster what’s messed up is that BluePoint was not only bought out specifically to do remasters, but both it and Sony got so ambitious they decided it’d do remakes instead, thus leaving Sony with a huge void in terms of having a studio to do remasters. Silly, silly Sony.
And of course, we can never forget their ocean of ps2-onlies (that are still Sony owned, by the by) like Ape Escape 3, my favorite Sony platformer bar none.
Edit: as a side note, remasters exist for a reason. They can be a great tool to hold people off between major releases, fill a void Y’know? Everything has a purpose in the industry. Maybe Sony needs to learn that once they stop being complacent.

@ShogunRok apologies if you’ve already been informed of this but I felt this was really interesting to share as they’ve done interesting interviews after the event with a lot of cool details to share (the interviews are on famitsu, 4gamer and billibilli)
Now if the translations on this post are accurate then, we’re getting cool stuff like:

• Morale and Charge attack system from DW3-6 returning, plus “the best elements of those games will be combined without peons disrupting you attacks which left a lot of players frustrated”
• the main character has amnesia and he’s an ROTK figure and won’t be a customizable character, you will switch to other officers but only temporarily. CC might be included if there’s enough demand.
• Story won’t go post Wo Zhong plains (crying cuz I’m a Jin fan)

Anyways I just thought this was really cool hope you have a good day : )

@trev666 preach.

@PuppetMaster to this day I’m still hurt by the infamous and R&C ones. They feel such a no-brainer pick to port. Not to mention, 3D dot heroes.

Can’t put into words how hard I smiled seeing the thumbnail. Kudos to the thumbnail maker.

@HotGoomba I know it’s extremely silly to point a joke but since this is a topic I take seriously I feel obligated to mention (just in case) that my comment was a joke alluding to your use of the word “combat”. Otherwise I (thankfully) don’t have motion sickness. Have a good day. XD

Another peak trailer. Genuinely can’t wait for this game.
