    Squeenix TRIANGLE STRATEGY - tactical RPG from Octopath Traveler devs

    Take into consideration that I have only played less than an hour of Tactics Ogre (SNES, PSP, & PC alike), as well as having only played the demo of Triangle Strategy -- I enjoy both (or all four, I guess) but I have weird and constricted gaming habits, so it takes me quite a while to actually...

    Incline Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin

    This tracks with my limited experience with Team Ninja developed games. Primarily have only played the first two Ninja Gaiden titles on release, and the best part was always fighting hordes of ninjas coming from all directions to kill you. I always wished that they would expand upon the...

    Anime Dungeon Travelers series

    they probably will - despite the fact that Steam allows full-on porn on their platform - but it should be fine. there are usually unofficial patches that bring back the omitted or obscured content.

    Anime Dungeon Travelers series

    Might not be anyone left waiting and willing to purchase the game after all the dicking around, but the first Dungeon Traveler's is finally coming to a proper platform that doesn't have egregiously autistic DRM practices...

    Squeenix STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R [2nd Nov. 2023]

    Kinda dumb take. While I own two CRT televisions - a Trinitron & PVM I got before the boomers started this new gold rush - for retro gaming for precisely the reason you laid out here, that pixel art was made for the particular context of the development environment they are made in. Owlboy may...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    I played Divinity: Original Sin a year after its initial launch and hated it. So much so that I never bothered playing D:OS2, and was turned off from ever booting up any game developed by Larian. A part of it is how clunky the games generally felt. Not just glitches mind you, but the typical...

    Anime Dungeon Travelers series

    Funni thing is, someone gematsu pointed out that Steam has games featuring shotacon -- apparently, its only not cool when the girls appear to be underage; underage looking doods is all good tho.

    Squeenix STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R [2nd Nov. 2023]

    The assist system is a definite improvement to combat. On top of that, it looks like some characters have new moves that make them funner to play (Rocket Pawnch lady in particular). I do question sticking to the 3D combat system, when games such as Tales of Eternia & Tales of Destiny: DC are far...

    Monster Menu: The Scavenger's Cookbook

    Is there a substantial post-game in this game? Was considering picking it up when it comes to PC; I generally enjoy NIS side games when they don't half ass them.

    Atlus Metaphor: ReFantazio Thread - Atlus JRPG by Persona Veterans

    This game looks fuckin sick. Haven't been excited for a game purely off the visuals alone in ages. It would be a shame if all the art produced for the initial setting is just being tossed, love it when the Japs do a proper take on traditional western fantasy motifs. Wishful thinking, but it...

    Tell me about Platinum Games.

    I'm curious what facet Platinum had in the game when the KH4 developer is the only one who explicitly cited that his team worked on 'the battles'. Combat wise, I've come to prefer KH2/3 to Platinum titles -- altho W101 is in my top 20 games.

    Anime Dungeon Travelers series

    Been anticipating playing through the whole series for quite a while now. Glad to see that its coming to PC finally, and completely translated. People in the comments section on both youtube and gematsu don't have good things to say about the Johren platform; I don't have experience with it...

    Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood - dynamic Kickstarter underway

    M My favorites are Wild ARMs 3 & 5. I haven't played Wild ARMs 2 or 4, so I can't speak to them. Wild ARMs 1 has one of the greatest opening sequences of almost any JRPG. So much so that watching my cousin play through when I was 6 made it the most fascinating game in the world. I eventually...

    The Dragon Quest Thread

    Its not that DQVIII is particularly difficult, its that I find the balance of its difficulty to be quite pleasant. Not too easy, not necessarily too hard. I haven't played the 3DS game, so I can't attest to that version; however, I will point out that changing from random encounters to having...

    The Dragon Quest Thread

    The DS/Android remakes are compromises if anything. The ideal version of DQs I-VII would be in the style of DQ VI (Super Famicom); the elaborate battle animations and backgrounds from the DS games; and the difficulty balance of DQVIII (PS2) or DQXI (Draconian Quest enabled) -- altho I do like...
