@happygaming Forest of Illusion music is just the best. I also still get lost every time I play SMW.

@iboshow Same minus 3 or 4 instances in the Sector 7 slums, beyond that it was smooth sailing

Im so excited, played a ton of SMT IV and the tone of this is exactly what im looking for.

@themarcv Yeah Virtua Fighter is great. Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder apparently has never been released outside of the arcade so that's kind of cool. I'm hoping the remaining 26 games are a bit more exciting.

Can I just say, I HATE crowdfunding. There are probably hundreds of games I want to see sequels to that will never happen but I still would never pay for until I see reviews. Particularly for indie devs, I believe the fear that a game not succeeding could sink your company is a driver. Without that fear, many would (and I believe have) become complacent or even greedy and they would release (have released) a lesser product because they don't want to dig into the profit they have already made from crowdfunding. I get the impression Koji Igarashi is not that type. They lived up to their promise and delivered Curse of the Moon. You can argue that it was to scrape up more money for Ritual of the Night but, while I never played it, I heard only good things about it. They released a Bloodstained-themed video to apologize for the state of the beta and to clearly identify what they were going to fix for the final release. They are now releasing a sequel to Curse of the Moon that looks equally awesome. Instead of take the money and run, he has decided to not only make good on the crowdfunding campaign but to go beyond and make it into a self-sustaining franchise - as every crowdfunded operation should but so few do. And he will be rewarded with both greater wealth and a lasting legacy not just as the creator of this series but as a champion of crowdfunding and a developer who made it by reviving and believing in what he loved. I honestly can't say how much I admire his devotion to the original Kickstarter and this series.

@dipset It is the only game in the series that got me thinking ''Maybe I will play it'' when it's revealed.

@e_zed_eh_intern Nope, I'm from te 90s.

I've been using NordVPN with mixed results. Speed is terrible to bearable, never good, IMO. In general a lot of streaming services are getting smart about blocking commonly used servers, so I have to click around for 10-15 min sometimes trying to find one that will work. It's not ideal, but it's the only way I can watch Hulu right now so I just deal with it.

I absolutely adored Persona 4 and Persona 5 but it took me months and months to complete those games. I loved it while I was playing it but working 5 days a week makes me tired and all of the reading and dungeon crawling wasn't as stimulating as it should be and I just kept feeling more and more tired. I recently bought FF7 for Switch and got suuuuuuper into it for a hot weekend, then once I had to capture a Chocobo, I realize that I don't want to do any of that bullshit. Time and place man. Every game fits into your life in different ways and JRPGs just aren't doing it right now for you nor me. I could be projecting my personal experience onto you, but I think the personal life progression element might partly be why its tough to enjoy these types of games as much.

Yeah, I always say to myself "carpe diem"; this also applies for my hobbies too. Sometimes I am in that zeitgeist and it sucks usually.

@phbz I'm in so much agreement. When you make smaller levels you have to deliver more of them, which means you have to be more creative. And the best part is none of them are too small.

Hitman 2 - only a year old but still needs to be on my list. Such a treat. I will head back in soon I think so I can try out the DLC. Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - so good. I'm not sure why I didn't pick this up closer to release but I'm glad I finally got around to it. A little easy towards the end but I guess it's not as easy for them to create challenge in 2D games? Red Dead Redemption - As a lover of GTA, I am not sure why I had near-zero interest in this one at launch. While I did tire by the end of the story, I really enjoyed this world. And it still looks incredible. Time to finally start the copy of RDR2 I have had since June!

Just wondering, does anybody have a list of awesome split screen ones? Beyond Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. I'm looking to get back to basics.

I forgot until about 3 hours after pre-orders went live but was planning on getting one. I'm in staunch agreement with the people lamenting that your order was able to include 2 of the things. It seems hardly fair that Joe Bloggs gets two and "I" get none. Hopefully they're able to re-evaluate and announce a second round of pre-orders soon, as it sounds like they've completely underestimated demand.

@irongrey Welcome! https://www.visitfinland.com/

@e_zed_eh_intern I have a B.A. in Music Theory. =P So if your next venture is about Schenkerian analysis........!

I had a feeling there was supposed to be another battle with Roche

@tokyoslim @bard91 I'm not gonna die on the hill saying The Witcher 1 has good combat but tap tap tap on the mouse in a rhythm was pretty simple and straight forward for me. I also don't think any of those three games are the best story in a game ever but at least three of my game playing coworkers say The Witcher 3 has the best story they've ever played. Even Bloodworth said so recently too. A LOT of people think that, but I would say it has the least compelling story of the series. My whole point is that if you LOVE The Witcher 3, there is so much you're missing by not playing TW1 & TW2. I think the series is a full package.
