@Mr_Odwin Nothing But Thieves' new album Moral Panic dropped. I think it's great. A good mix of quiet and heavier songs. The album's theme and lyrics often hit quite close to home... This one's is incredible:

Played it for about 2 hours, here's what I think: it needs quite a bit of optimisation on Switch - long loading times, occasional stutter/short freezes and movement bugs can be annoying rebinding keys is a must add for the next patch have only played in handheld mode and the screen is too small - information about buffs/debuffs/status/monsters/etc fill way too much gameplay is a lot of fun - a great amount of mechanics are in play (e.g. familiars that grant you two skills, randomized weapons, relics providing passive abilities, scrolls that increase your stats) tactical Turn-based combat is enjoyable - you have to be careful with every turn and so far the difficulty is challenging but nothing too demanding classic Roguelite mechanics - permanent upgrades, shops, equipment that you lose when you die, etc. clean art style - very pretty sound and music just...exist...they're nothing special The technical issues are annoying but for me the gameplay more than makes for it.

Welp, I bought it just now. Send help.

I will never recruit him again if I don't have to. I don't like him.

Continued my FFVI journey. Can't wait to see where the story's going. Loving the game, so far. It's been 5 hours of JRPG goodness Only having one "issue": The worldmap is non-existent with the emulator core I'm using. It's the only core that doesn't slow down the game during certain attacks in battles, but it does suffer from the "no map"-problem. It's not a huge deal, though. It's actually quite nice. With maps I tend to just look at them instead of taking in the actual world. With FFVI I'm getting familiar with the world and locations much more. I think it's time to always turn off maps in games if the option is available

Personally, I don't care for his music or him as a person, but I do know that he is one of the biggest musicians (maybe even artists) out there right now. This is huge for the PlayStation brand. Whoever's responsible for Sony's marketing in recent months should get a raise.

Sure hope so Also hope they have some actual next-gen only games to try out/show. I don't need to see PS4 games running on the new console. JUST GIVE ME SOME NEW DEMON'S SOULS GAMEPLAY.

Yup, got it I read that Guard Leader's rage is insane at that stage of the game. However, it's so tedious to get him to show up. Not sure if I can be arsed much longer. I've tried for an hour

Played a bit more of FFVI today. Usually I don't like characters splitting up and then having their own little journey for a while, but it's actually done quite well here. The sequence with Locke was fun and now I'm engaged in Sabin's troubles. Speaking of that man...he's quite remarkable: Also met Gau. He's weird And he's also the reason why I probably won't make a lot of progress for a while, given his unique mechanics. I NEED THOSE ENEMY SKILLS. Enjoying this game a lot. I do think, however, that battle frequency is a little too high and battle speed is a little too slow. Thank the all mighty Lord of Emulators for the fast forward button.

platestation5.com And so it begins

Not at all surprised. And it being a thing before doesn't make it any less shitty.

Oh nice. Oh bullshit.

@viceview51 Sorry, but we have to play this round sometime next week. I won't have time over the weekend.

Again: Can't compare the vanilla release with the patched version, but I read that the update fixes the script while keeping what made Woolsey's translation so special.

He does

Kojima Productions linkedin shows a lot of job openings so I doubt the game is in a presentable state. Then again, I don't know anything about game development so... Just give me anything that's not horror. I'd even take a sports game made by Kojima.

I want him to do a next-gen evolution of MGSV: The Phantom Pain's gameplay. New IP, similar mechanics, next-gen goodness and I'm in love. But I expect his next project to be a horror game. And to be honest, it's a good fit. Kojima is capable of delivering something that could elevate the genre. While it wouldn't be for me, I'd still be interested to see how that man would approach it.

After a bit of a hiatus from the game I decided to load it up again and... ...I had to find out that the emulator didn't save, well...anything. This one needs to be closed by choosing "Exit" in its menu instead of just quitting the app via the device's OS. All progress was lost Anyways, have reached the point where I stopped playing and now I'm ready to keep going. I'm playing the Ted Woolsey Uncensored Edition of Final Fantasy VI. I can't compare the different versions 'cause I never played the original. I can, however, say that the game has some very goofy moments Dialogue is surprisingly funny at times. I'm loving the battle system. Turn-based, ATB goodness The story is nothing spectacular so far, but I am intrigued by Kefka. He has a certain silliness that was very unexpected.

This was released a couple of days ago. Turn-based? Yes. Roguelite? YES! Sign me up. But it'll have to wait. For real, this time.

Looks like you people are ready I'm gonna put this one here... ...because he's the audio director at Kojima Productions and I want a new game from that studio and I want it to be on next-gen and I want it now (unless it's a horror game, then I want it to die).

Should be in the good stuff thread.

I highly doubt it. Pathless devs have already confirmed that it won't be a PS+ game: And I'd be very surprised to see Bugsnax with PS+. It's got so much buzz around it, it will do very well on its own.

Soooo...tomorrow marks the beginning of the 4 week countdown to the European PS5 release. Maybe this question has been asked in the past, maybe not. Either way, I think it's time for those of you who will be there day one to share: What does your next-gen haul look like? Any games/accessories you're ridiculously hyped for? Any plans for release day? Needless to say, I'm hyped beyond belief and I'm very lucky to be able to actually get a console day-one. However, I won't be able to buy a lot of new games so I have to limit myself to just one. It'll most likely be Cyberpunk 2077, so not a next-gen game. Even "worse", its next-gen patch won't be ready 'til next year. Still...I'm in the mood for an RPG and Cyberpunk 2077 looks like it'll be able to scratch that itch. I'm also really looking forward to Astro's Playroom. It'll offer a nice introduction to the system and hardware while also offering a substantial amount of gameplay, if you can believe early reports. And it's free, so that's cool Won't get any additional hardware for quite a while. My current headset should work and with the Tempest engine providing 3D-sound through basically all headphones I have no need for a new one. Also don't need a second Dual Sense 'cause I don't play couch co-op, at least not at my place. I'd love to take the 19th and 20th off but not sure if I'll be able to. Taking the days off from work won't be a big problem, but lab work for my Bachelor's thesis will start very soon and I will prioritize that. But: the weekend after launch...definitely no social interactions whatsoever. It's all about gaming then Edit: And by the way:

Released on console today. What a year this has been for roguelites. But please...devs...can you not throw all of these at me in the span of a few weeks...THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH TIME.
