  @bigdude1 I know what you mean. Because of a shipping delay, I ended up with Ultimate Alliance 3 and Fire Emblem: Three Houses on the same day. I had to go with Fire Emblem. Even though it's a longer game.

  @gageblackw23 Yeah, I don't watch those youtubers so I don't know what their take on it is. From EZA, I mostly just recall Huber was very interested in playing CyberPunk 2077 on Stadia as it could be the best version for the least amount of money. The xCloud I just haven't really heard much about at all, and since I don't have an Xbox One or Microsoft Hardware I haven't been keeping tabs on it. Mostly I take no offense to these services, as of now I'm not personally all that interested in these services but that could change once they are up and running and if they every get exclusive software that I just have to play. That seems to be the big missing piece for both services.

  @paulmci27 said in Is Ninja Gaiden II cheap or am I just a poor at the game?: It's just a really hard game. If you keep at it, it'll click for you eventually. I never finished it myself. Bit tough for my taste. I tried numerous times and I couldn't get into it. It's not because it's hard, because I love challenging games. Games like System Shock 2, Shinobi for the PS2, Contra, Demon's Souls (which is harder than Dark Souls), Fallout 2, Devil May Cry 3, Cuphead, and Ninja Gaiden Black. These games were difficult, but often fair. The took wit and skill to play. Whereas Ninja Gaiden 2 is hard, but it's not fair at all. And I'm always perplexed it's regarded at such high regard. Maybe I'm just awful at it.

  The end wasn't that satisfying in Atlantis, I feel. It also came somewhat abruptly, I thought there'd still be some more plot development ahead. I mean I liked the premiss of this third part and what it presented as the main scenario, but a few more story missions wouldn't have hurt it at all.

  @cptcobblepot I finally thought of an example where people could edit a shortcut to have a friend win an unbeatable fastest speed record on the level, then edit it back so nobody could ever top it as possible abuse to allowing editing, but that's such an unlikely edge case, and most would be super obvious if they did it. If you just tied records to a version history it'd also prevent this. There's ways to make it work. I just don't think they want to go through the effort to implement it.

  I don't think the original is gonna fit comfortably into many pockets, even the cargo pants. In my comparing it to the Vita, the biggest issue for the lite is length. if they could transfer some of that length to depth, it would be a great fit for me, but as of right now it's a tight fit, but still preferable to the original.

  PlayStation 2. It has most of my favourite games of all time, and was the centrepiece to many amazing memories. Completing Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks in co-op with my cousin was so much fun. As was the co-op missions in GTA San Andreas.

  One thing people complain about is that there are not a lot of full games and too much “experiences”… but I love them. So recently, the French/German TV “culture” channel Arte released three VR experiences on Steam VR and one last weekend on the oculus quest store. Those on Steam were about some famous paintings, e.g. Edward Munch The Scream, and visualization of the painters notes or interpretation behind the intentions of those paintings… They were Okay. On the oculus store, they released “Notes on Blindness”, about notes of a writer who became blind. So he describes the world how he observes it through sound and you see this ingame by blue point clouds and shapes when a person/object makes sound. Together with positional audio, it makes a fascinating experience. And couple of weeks ago, also on the quest (previously on the go/gear vr), there was “Anne Frank house VR”, where you walk inside said house and get some excerpts from her diary. Getting an idea about the dimension of the rooms is something you probably only get by visiting the house in real life or VR.

  Very cool, local co-op / swapping characters is pretty much how I played Until Dawn and planned to play this one, so that's perfect. Those features will also help the game in terms of Twitch streaming. Very excited for this one!

  I finished the game for the first time this year and it's a really good game. I like FF7 better but 9 is my second favourite FF-game. I have played several FF-games but actually have only finished those two. I tried to play FF9 a couple of years ago but I thought the story dragged on in the beginning with little to get attached to. This year when playing it I almost immediately was charmed by the characters and how the game looked. The story is also good with some heart breaking moments. The end sequence also was very moving and well done. I did have to farm quite a bit and looked up some strategy online for some of the abilities I equiped. I guess my lack of experience with jrpgs and FF-games are the cause of my troubles. When it comes to story heavy games it's nice if you can actually beat them on your first try without having to start over completely. It seems this is the case with FF9 if you are smart about where you have your saves.

  @dipset I was talking about talking about the non-creative CEOs/COOs/ect, I would just find it interesting to see how those people actually think and view the business.

  Other than the spectacular presentation I was kind of disappointed with this game. Good just not great.

  Yeah, and the current hint was like, "Look for the boss that can fit in tiny places," which is for something different. There was never any mention of the ID or its destination. They also never replay these scenes, so if you forget any of it or accidentally skip it, you're on your own. Side note, though: These scenes are hilarious. Miriam is a fantastic protagonist. She is so much more well-rounded than her weird gothic lolita design implies. I really wish they designed her as less of a caricature than they did.
