LAST GAME TO BE DESCUSHED WINS!

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Sun Aug 16, 2020 8:36 pm

You ever want to post about a game but not enough for a dedicated thread? This thread is for exactly that. And as a bonus, you win!

I got Fall Guys the other day and it is fun and hilarious. It's like if 60 people were all playing Takeshi's Castle at the same time while wearing Grimace costumes. Would recommend.

Who is Takeshi?

I played a bit of Crystalis just now.

Speaking of Crystalis, I found it surprisingly playable. Not sure if I’ll ever pick it up again, but definitely above my expectations for an NES RPG.

When I first saw this thread, I was going to lock it as spam because this thread title format was band a couple of years back. I don’t think acid knew that though and this thread isn’t intended as spam, so I’m not locking it

We do have another “what are you playing?” thread though.

I've seen a lot of Fall Guys hype and was wondering if it's worth it. Also saw they are working on adding more servers so I guess it really is popular?

Apparently all the streamers are playing it so it got quite a bit of hype before release. I was quite skeptical but it's actually pretty fun! That being said it does have some issues. It definitely needs more levels and some existing ones could use some changes. There's one where you have to grab tails off of other players but it only counts whoever has them when the timer runs out instead of who had them the longest, so there's no reason not to just stand around then snatch one at the last second.

I've played two games of Fall Guys. I came something like 17th on my first game. Didn't even know what kind of game it was prior to that.

Vibing_V · Post by **Vibing_V** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 11:17 pm

It looks kind of fun, but I'm just not sure I'd play it enough to get $22 worth of fun. If it were $5-10 I'd get it.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:42 am

It looks fun and I would buy it, but I’m not buying PS+ for this

I feel like I've gotten my money's worth already but that's a totally fair assessment. I can say that because the rounds are so short it has a very "just one more game" vibe, so you end up playing much more than you may have intended to.

In other news I remembered I have Catherine Classic on Steam and have been playing that. Forgot how great this game is. I like how the moral choices are just your personal opinion on relationship stuff and not the usual "save the baby or eat the baby."

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 1:36 am

Catherine was lame, like 99% of all of Altus games

It launched as free with PS+ and as it's online, you need PS+ to play it.

Does it cost money on Steam?

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:17 pm

Yes but it's not also charging you monthly for the privilege of accessing your own internet.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 3:49 pm

Should emulate it!

I use teh steam thingy. It costs moneyz on steam.

I recently finished The Room 3. I'd played 1 and 2 first but left off for a bit. Puzzlebox games. They try to add some story but the story doesn't really matter. I enjoy.

I’m trying to beat the last boss in Xenoblade this week. I’ve also almost finished the remaster of Yakuza 3.

I'm on the remaster of Yakuza 5 now.. I may just be caught up on the series by the time Like a Dragon releases over here.

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 3:26 pm

I always see Yakuza 0 on sale. What are those games even about? From what I gather you run around town beating people up but sometimes go to a maid cafe for some reason?

I've been playing Guild Wars 2 this week. I blame H.

I've been playing through them slowly with my wife (she hands me the controller whenever there's a fight). Been desperate to play 7 since it came out while I was in Japan (saw a shop demo there), but I fear it won't lend itself as well to our co-op play style.

Cid, it's basically the saga of a gangster/ex gangster and the main story is pretty serious but the game is full of side stories and minigames that are goofy as fuck. Zero is a good place to start and get a feel for if you like the series or not.

Blaming a letter of the alphabet? Does h share any of the blame, or just H?

They have stories,, but this sums up the game flow decently enough.

Just finished another game that I first played almost a decade ago. Xenoblade!

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Sat Aug 22, 2020 9:51 am

Some time after its initial reveal as Monado: The Beginning of the World, then-Nintendo president Satoru Iwata changed the title to Xenoblade to honor Tetsuya Takahashi's previous work on the Xeno series

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoblade_Chronicles

I was wondering if Xenoblade was related to Xenogears/Xenosaga in any way but apparently it was just named Xeno-something to make the dude feel better about Xenosaga being a huge flop.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Aug 22, 2020 10:51 am

I always thought that calling it "Monado" somethingorother would have been a better title, but I'm used to the name "Xenoblade" now.

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Wed Aug 26, 2020 7:00 pm

Man I love Jet Set Radio but it controls like a bag of bricks skating underwater.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Aug 26, 2020 7:30 pm

I like jets, sets and radios, but I’ve never tried combining them.

Monaldo stands for Murderer Ronaldo.

That game is great. Still need to finish it myself. I loved Theme Hospital as a kid.

I rented Theme Hospital on the PS1 and finished all there was in just a couple of days.

Anybody ever try “Treasure of the Rudras”? I just heard about it. If I ever knew of it before (I’ve had 24 years to do so) I’ve completely forgotten (I’ve had 24 years to do that too).

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Sep 01, 2020 4:27 am

Is that the same as Rudra no Hihou? I've heard of it. May have played some on Rom back in the day too, but not sure about that.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Sep 01, 2020 3:21 pm

Yep it’s Rudra no Hihou. Apparently there is a fan translation. It’s the last Square RPG made for SNES, released in 1G996, and it sounds pretty neat. There is some crazy sounding magic system where you... input arbitrary words?? It was in katakana in Japanese, and I really have no idea how well they got this working in English in the fan translation.
