As I said about a month ago, we've finally come to the next release (and not a strike due to a delay)! Bloodstaind: Ritual of the Night finishes as the 13th most desired game with six desires in total (one of which as the most desired). It has now been stricken from the Master Index, kicking off a week of multiple games getting the axe!

@el-shmiablo that's explains then cause I played it on Switch and this is the first time I ever see that.

Is it just me, or does Seth's chair gimmick feel really awkward somehow? I mean he's supposed to be a face champion, yet he pummels guys (ok, sure, heels) left and right with a chair all the time now suddenly. I mean, should I cheer...?

Best: Romancing Saga 3 Transistor (physical) Tifa (not Remake, just Tifa) Worst: Some one mentioned Bethesda, I'll second that Some of the follow-up news for FF7 Remake Leaks, I didn't personally care for the leak things, but they ruin surprises for people. Not really much on actual games, but if I don't like a game, I just ignore it.

These look absolutely gorgeous! The four cultural aesthetics as explained by Cyberpunk's official Twitter account: ENTROPISM: The look of poverty that derives from humans grappling with and struggling against technology and its unforgiving advance. It denotes a lack of design blending with a general poverty of means and ideas. KITSCH: The look of a long lost golden age on people entirely unwilling or unable to forget it. It’s flashy, bold and usually cheap – filled with gold-plated cyberware, implants encased in brightly colored plastic and larger-than-life makeup. NEOMILITARISM: The look of global conflict and corporations jockeying for power. Cold, sharp and modern. Making everyone look as if they are ready to drop out of an AV’s cargo door and head straight into combat. NEOKITSCH: The look of infinite wealth and vanity. Synonymous with luxury, it has been blossoming among Night City’s wealthiest elites – those who can afford to buy anything, who can afford to be anything they want to be.

The Deamon X Machine joycons are available for pre order, it's $50 not wireless (which is fine with me imo) and (according to playasia anyway) will only have X number of units made https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T5QKKVP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_jQlcDb0KW26AA

Just watched the gameplay and I don't know what to think, I see a lot of stuff I like, but there plenty of ways in which I'm just not super confident in the game.

Late but Apollo 11 was absolutely breathtaking. Its incredible what they were able to achieve with that archival film and audio. Its a must see for any fans of space or cool documentaries

@ringedwithtile Then I highly suggest you to check out NIER Gestalt, NieR Automata and Drakengard 3. Original NER's story takes place after Ending E in original Drakengard.

Mysterious Monsters - Trivia Game Show RPG - Ep. 4 - AJ LoCascio, Ben Moore, Matthew Walden Youtube Video I think this was my favourite episode yet, the competition was really even between all three. Friendly vibes as well, and just generally good thinking.

I still have to catch up on the other things people have been posting above, but in a short (30 min) E3 episode of Kotaku Splitscreen, Jason talks with Larian and Wizards of the Coast about Baldur's Gate III. They also talk a lot of insider baseball of Divinity Original Sin II and reference a GDC talk which I'll also add here: https://art19.com/shows/kotaku-splitscreen/episodes/1f188c51-4594-42d9-a255-7d2f528ad8bc Youtube Video FYI, there have been some other good E3 2019 episodes of Splitscreen with CD Projekt and more.

So did anybody end up playing this? I just finished it this weekend and it's excellent, I highly recommend it. It's one of the best metroidvanias I've played, the closest comparison would be Shantae since you can transform into different monsters to get new abilities, but in my opinion it blows every Shantae game out of the water. The gameplay is diverse, new abilities are doled out regularly enough so the action never gets stale. And what separates great metroidvanias from ok ones in my opinion: every new power completely turns the game on its head in terms of traversal and movement options. Formerly tough areas become trivial, and I caught myself thinking "wow, clever!" many times as they introduced new puzzles and challenges that required me to think outside the box and use my powers differently. It's difficult too, don't let the cutesy graphics fool you. Some parts were as challenging as Hollow Knight, enemies hit hard! It took me 18 hours to 100% it, and I died over 100 times. But it's not as stressful, and save points are rather generous. I had to look up some of the last secrets as they were super obscure, but it's very rewarding to find some of the best hidden areas. It's gorgeous, the soundtrack is top-tier, I could go on. Seriously, if this was a Nintendo game everybody would be praising it to the skies. The price tag may be off-putting but if you spent that much on Metroid: Samus Returns, you definitely should spend the same on this game.
