Ni No Kuni is the most dissapointing game I have ever played, and an terrible terrible JRPG.

Obviously people disagree with me, but I was so dissapointed at this game that I get mad when I think about all of the wasted potential, simply a bad game

@dmcmaster *Gust

@bam541 I think I can understand that, I didn't mind the lack of difficulty in the game, but it is for sure something that made it a bit less engaging, well at least you tried the game and can say it wasn't for you.

Two new small videos related to Royal were released.

The first one shows a very interesting detail, which confirms that there will be a significant change to the end of the game, this makes sense since they had mentioned how they will add a new semester at the end, but I do hope that whatever change they are making so that the protagonist is free in New Year's makes sense.

I just had an absolutely mind-blowing moment in Trails in The Sky The Third, and it wasn't even anything big that happened. It is just fantastic how this series makes use of its characters throughout the different games, even if I'm playing them in the incorrect order :p

Glad to see that there seems to be a big push for GoG, I really like where it is at, and at least for me its main limitation is its more limited library, so seeing this makes me hopeful it will help make it more attractive in the future.

I haven't really followed Piranha Bytes recently and only played a little of some Gothic Games, but the impression I've gotten from the most Risen and Elex is that they have been less impressivethan the previous games they've made, based on the littler I've heard from other people, but I imagine they are doing well enough if they keep going.

@dmcmaster Finally!!!! Glad to hear something about Psychonauts after the whole thing with Starbreeze.

@dmcmaster I'm so worried about Cold Steel 3, but most importantly 4, as I understand NISA is fairly separate from NIS Japan, but still.

I liked everything about this trailer, and just the name Necrobarista has some weird appeal to it for me.

Youtube Video

I'm excited about it, though I do have to say I have a few concerns about the game.

The description they gave on the video sounds a lot like what we got in Trails of Cold Steel, which I'm all in favor of that, but I know it can be somewhat worrisome for people with more experience with FE.

Aside from that, I expected it, but I was still dissapointing to see such a uncreative and non sensical setting, in my limited experience World Building in Fire Emblem has always been terrible, and it is something I would love to see much improved, but oh well.

I own The Wonderful 101 and played it for a bit, I really need to get back to it, because it really looked like a cool concept, but at least the beginning felt a little rough in terms of controller.

For as much as it is tiring, it can also be a bit endearing to see someone still caught up in the console wars of decades past.

@bam541 and that is why it is absolutely brilliant.

@axel I'm actually debating whether or not I'll play it with French voices as well, my French is only decent so I'll need subtitles for sure but they did mention it is of great quality and it may give just a bit of extra realism.

Without exaggerating even a little bit, I think Papers Please is among the 10 best games I've ever played, and it is one of the very few games I can feel could be called perfect.

@dmcmaster generic as hell looking jrpg, I guess it actually is the one @bam541 shared but I remember the walk cycle being much worse than that tbh.

moving on to actual news, SE closes down a Studio that as far we know never really did anything

I would be lying if I say it is hard believe seeing this from Square, but at least they've got their succesful franchises letting them fail like this again.

Also I dont know if it was this or some other game, but I remember a trailer for a JRPG that had an extremely wonky walk animation and I've been trying to find it for a while, looking at this one trailer I don't think it was it though, and if it was it aint as bad as I remembered.

@themarcv I'll take advantage of you mentioning Trails of Cold Steel to plug it, since I would take any chance I get. If you enjoyed the first few hours then I can near guarantee that you'll end up liking the game as a whole, so now that 2 is also available on Ps4 and 3 coming soon, with hopefully 4 next year, there's no time like the present to get back to it. As I said if you liked the beginning you'll like the rest.

And to not completely hijack the thread my thoughts on FF7 Remake, I'm honestly completely indifferent even though it looks promising, I'm not a FF guy and I would rather go back to 6 to finally beat it or try 9 or tactics as they look way more appealing to me, but hopefully people are pleased with the remake even though I have little confidence on current Square.

@ezekiel I mean that's fine but it is a non-answer, I don't care for most AAA games either and most of the stuff I play falls outside of that range, I realize I have an outsider perspective to things and I support what I like, doesn't mean I can't allow for that other stuff to be and allow others to enjoy it.

Besides regardless of your thoughts, GoW was also critically succesful with millions of end users, so even on that aspect it was massively succesful.
