I am happy for you. Hope you enjoy, kyodai!

I appreciate AW1 but the gameplay was pretty repetitive and feels dated today (imo). 2 is a lot more enjoyable

:)

“True Pacifist” route is worth doing if you enjoy Undertale, it’s not terribly difficult and fleshes out the characters a bit more. If you’re thinking about going the other way, I would say play up through Undyne and see how that feels. Edit: also play Deltarune if you havent

I really want to like Outer Wilds, but it just hasn’t quite clicked with me either. I’ve probably played about 10 hours but just keep bouncing off of it.

I’m so damn excited for this game

I agree, homebrewing a Wii is so easy that I think I could do it in my sleep at this point. If anyone is debating between one or the other, Wii is the way to go you’re essentially getting two consoles in one (and there are even emulators/vc for almost every console that comes before them).

That being said, I just have to admire the work that people are putting in to the GameCube after all these years. There’s something really pleasing to me about its form factor and its simplicity compared to the Wii. This channel has several other showcases like this one if that sounds interesting!

Had a lot of fun with this game when it first came out. Definitely recommend if you enjoy fast-paced games with a focus on movement

If I hadn’t resold my original deck (to a friend, gave him a good price) an upgrade probably wouldn’t have been worth it for me personally. Although I’ve been using mine in handheld more often these days, OLED doesn’t do a ton for me and I don’t notice the weight difference some people have mentioned. However! The battery life is better, I feel like the touchpads haptics seem more prominent(?), and bluetooth-to-wake is a wonderful feature (highly recommend an extra dualsense if you’re a docked user).

Feels like I’ve been hearing back and forth forever about whether it’s going to happen. I never tried the multiplayer personally, but I know this is sad news for many

Wow, if I didn’t own most of these I’d be all over this bundle. Death Stranding and Control in particular I really love.

Looks like The Evil Within 2 will be free soon too!

For future reference, it is possible to transfer your Xbox/game pass save to your steam copy. I have not done it personally, but I friends who have done it successfully https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2847163077

The most stark example against this is the original MW2 - in addition to the anti-war quotes everyone loves to talk about every time you die, the main antagonist is literally a US Army General (admittedly he is distanced from the actual Army by the end, using a PMC instead).

The black ops games have some twist that often provoke the the thought of whether the ends justify the means. ::: In Cold War, the main character, Bell, is actually a captured Russian soldier that they have brainwashed to fight for the US as part of an experimental program. When this is revealed, you have the option to betray your “team” and lead them into a Russian trap :::

That being said, I haven’t played all of the cod campaigns, especially some of the more “historical” entries. It’s more fun to play this type of game when it makes you feel like what you’re doing is justified. It’s important to remember it’s all fiction, but hey, it’s not going to be for everyone. If you feel like the game you’re playing goes against your morals, no shame in switching it off for something else.

As Reggie from Nintendo once said, “If it isn’t fun, why bother.”

Yep, you can switch them to Bluetooth mode now. Works pretty well! https://stadia.google.com/controller/

Wow, I didn’t know that! Bleh

I’ve only started the phantom pain but during the intro it feels like “A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME” pops up every 30 seconds lol

This is a great entrypoint to the series. The main cast is all new (though there are of course several references throughout the story for long-time fans). The gameplay is new (turn-based instead of brawler). I believe this is also the first Yakuza since the original Y1 to have a full English dub if that’s you’re thing.

LaD is a fantastic game that I recommend to anybody. Just know that it is much goofier than persona (especially the side content). Happy to answer any questions you might have.

I have 0 experience with it, but from what I can tell that same iVRY project is complete for psvr1 (and some other headsets)

Are you looking at the original or psvr2?

I believe the experience is more complete (though unofficial) with psvr1, but work is underway for psvr2 compatibility (again, unofficial)
