Going to trade in Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy and Skyrim to pre-order this for 9.99€ Can't wait Edit: Pre-ordered!

After my successful first run last night I decided to crack on with it. The game rocks my balls. Sweet Jesus. The miniboss I need to fight owns me And he's not even that difficult. He basically has one attack that should be easy to avoid but I'm a moron. It also doesn't help that at one point during the fight other enemies spawn. I love this. Finally a game with a real challenge. Haven't had this experience in quite some time.

That was the plan Damn. Started a new page. The games up for voting are on page 2 in this thread

Nah I just like it better that way. Less clutter.

Here we go, the first vote is upon us. My suggestion: vote stays open until Wednesday results will be posted on that day gaming time will start when the dedicated thread is up (you can start earlier, of course) maximum play time for the first round: two weeks (or until everyone has finished the game/the thread is dead) I chose games that don't take too long to finish (i.e. finish the story) - according to howlongtobeat.com it'll take around 7-8h to beat the longest of the three (mind you, that's a rough estimate and playtime will vary within our group). Without further ado: There you have it. Time to choose.

Cracking video, thanks. I had chosen three games before watching it, though.

Alright. Sundered got its much needed PS4 patch some time ago so I decided to give it another go. Started a new file and just reached the point where I last left off. This time without dying since the patch fixed the stutter problem. Those frame rate drops could really throw you off during fights. Now the game runs smoothly It's a Metroidvania alright. Certain points of the map are set in stone and provide new skills, throw you into a boss fight or open up shortcuts. However, the connecting areas are procedurally generated with each new attempt. So far it seems to be a great blend between linearity and randomness. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Alright. So GB/GBC/GBA it is. I'll choose a system and three games for the first vote and post it tomorrow unless there are any objections, i.e. people need some more time to finish a game they're currently playing.

I'm also for adding GameBoy to the system list. Just GB/GBC or GBA, as well? How's the GBA VC situation?

Yeah, I was toying with the idea of another playthrough of one of my favourite games

True It's a shame because I tried to get out of my gaming lull with Chrono Trigger and Prey. Third time's a charm, eh? Now to decide what to play next...

Finished the story just now. Took me only 10 hours because I couldn't be arsed to do any side missions. The gameplay didn't suit the enemies. Controls were too clunky, fighting was too slow and enemies were too quick. Story didn't really get going. All in all, disappointing. I liked the atmosphere and the premise but it didn't really go anywhere. Maybe if I had gone for a better ending...but I just didn't want to. As it stands now I'm happy that I only paid 12 bucks for it. Doubt I'll put the disc in ever again.

Alright. The game lost me again. I just don't think it's very fun. The battles are way too easy, the characters aren't particularly interesting to me and the story doesn't really get going - to the point where I just can't be arsed to continue playing. I've taken some time to read a summary of the plot and to be honest it's nothing special except: So after about 7 hours of playtime it's finally time for me to mark Chrono Trigger as a game I will never complete and never play again. I guess if I had played it back in the day it would've blown me away and I appreciate what it did for its time, but these days it's simply "meh" to me.

Yeah. Every JRPG that has more characters than slots in your party should do this.

If there's anything I can be proud of it's that you are not miles ahead of me this time Going to watch football. Might play Chrono Trigger and just have the match running in the background. Depends on how interesting it'll be.

To get back on topic:

Very considerate. Thank you.

Not going to argue anymore. Please use spoiler tags even if it doesn't seem spoilery to you.

As Sheikah said, focus can switch any time. Maybe you fight Lavos, maybe you don't. That was my thought process but once I read your post I was spoiled.

What? The only "contact" I had with Lavos was that 'cutscene'. Now I know it's the final boss and that the entire story revolves around it. I actually thought that this could not be the case and there's something else going on.

Good to know........

Not about the move, it's about who you're fighting.

Maybe use some spoiler tags? I've been spoiled for two major bosses apparently.

Do we have confirmation that the games' downloads are initiated by the disc or are there download codes inside the box? If it's the latter I'd be majorly pissed. I could live with the first.
