Well this is funny, me and my best friend have a running joke that Sekiro is a mariolike because it has a jump button, now there’s a platformer that’s a sekirolike. Oh, how the world works sometimes. Seriously though it’s like we’re being watched. <.<
@Matroska this is correct. They barely skipped any years. even the “skipped” years had either an English release of a Japanese game or a remastered release (unless those were outsourced).
Me and my bestie speculated it could be an allusion to Sakura Wars., she’s a modder and said some cutscene rigging stuff in SW on PS4 was similar to dragon engine. Who knows. We’ll see. <.<
I really adore SW, so that would lovely news. :0
If it’s a Musou, however, I will be very very very happy : D

@Czar_Khastik kh3 will likely be easier to understand than the current presidential debate, but it will be harder to understand than Shakespearean plays, so play at your discretion. Honestly at some point, you don’t play the game, it plays you. Just a few words of advice: Let it go, let it go. (You’ll understand this later)
@Czar_Khastik artist* The director of KH was an artist, KH was his directory debut after he overheard devs talking after an elevator pitch. None of this is made up and you can feel free to verify it with a quick google. Remember, I’m the serious one.
@Czar_Khastik 😊 I’m really happy for you, friend. If you ever get confused again, just remember this line: “I knew when I met you, you and Kairi smell the same.”.
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)
@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.
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).
@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.
