How's the action? It looked like you can launch people in the trailer and perform some kind of air combo. I doubt it leads to anything truly fun, but I'm curious.

The game has been repacked by many people though. I don't even know where to go to get it straight from the original person who cracked it.

I'd rather sail the high seas than interact with Epic, TBH.

I replay games I'm intimately familiar with so I can just autopilot and chill.

I am more likely to watch a movie or binge a show when I'm sick than play a video game though. Sometimes I read a comic book if my eyes are OK or listen to an audiobook.

Missing Persona, but I'm happy for the BBCF crowd, and having Vampire Savior on the big stage is super cool.

I've been considering picking up Gran Blue for some time now, so maybe I'll watch that.

It's published by Kepler, so IDK why it's even a Switch 2 exclusive. Maybe some short-term deal with Nintendo or something, IDK.

Same. I'm often in the process of breaking down why I like/dislike the game, what works about it, and what doesn't as I'm playing. I can't give honest feedback with incomplete thoughts.

How often do people leave reviews? I rarely see a profile with +100 reviews.

I only leave reviews after 100% completion or a lot of time (hundreds of hours) in case of fighting games where sometimes 100% is ridiculously difficult to attain (oh hi, Plus R)

I think the average time between my picking up a game and leaving a review is like 3~12 months. Definitely even more if I'm not vibing with the game.

Action game! Yaaay! Reminds me of Onee Chanbara minus the fan service.

Damn, is this an action game?! Only reason I didn't like the first game is I hated the shooting. If this is truly an action RPG, like it says on Steam, with no shooting, I'm down.

I hope there are launchers and air combos and shit.

I just reported and moved on, TBH. I hope you're getting the help you clearly need.

Do you also know how expensive that is for the average person RN? Do you know how much would it cost to hire a reliable babysitter for someone with kids? Or tickets for a whole family? Plus transportation or gas money? What if you live in a place with shit theater? Or maybe no theater at all? What if the closest theater is two hours away and it's shit? What if your country is so religious and closed off that theater is barely even allowed?

What if you barely have time for a movie, let alone for the trip back and forth to a theater because you're overworked to death and tired all the time?

What if you're disabled and mobility is an issue?

Do you live on Earth with the rest of us? Or in your idealistic theory where your version of reality is the only one?

 

I don't feel comfortable using a mouse and I have no interest in working on my mouse skills. I play all of my games with either a controller or a keyboard, and I'm looking for 3rd-person shooters I can play with a controller.

I'm mainly interested in action games. I'm OK with a world with gated areas a la metroidvanias/soulslikes, but I'm not interested in full-on open world or narrative-driven games.

Examples of 3rd-person shooters I enjoyed playing with a controller: Gungrave, Vanquish, and Evil West.

Examples of 3rd-person shooters I don't enjoy and have no interest in: Uncharted, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Space, Control/Alan Wake, or GTA.

I mainly play on PC, Steam in particular, but I'll boot up emulators if the game is worth it.

 

Italy may not have the same track record as Finland or Sweden, but bands like Cenotaph, Catacomb, Electrocution, and Maleficarum produced incredible, albeit limited, output that rivals Scandinavian greats, IMO.

This demo is melodic exactly when it needs to be, aggressive when it needs to be, impressively consistent, and envelopes me like a living, breathing wave of darkness every time I listen to it.

It's not on any streaming service AFAIK, but someone uploaded a copy on YT, and you can always of course find it on Soulseek.

 
 

I'm currently scraping the Steam barrel and I could really use these ports:

  1. Gravity Rush Remastered/Gravity Rush 2: best traversal in gaming. Surprisingly fun combat too. Just pure joy all around.
  2. Viewtiful Joe: integral Kamiya core and probably the closest on this list to actually happening seeing the Clover revival.
  3. God Hand: I have nothing new to add here. All I can do is reiterate the "beat'em goat" claim.
  4. The Red Star: PS2 hidden gem—mix of beat'em up and twin-stick shooter. Proper action game rooted in arcade design principles.
  5. Ketsui: again, all I can do is reiterate the "shmup goat" claim. Criminal this is not on Steam. Come on, M2.

Alternate editions of games we already have on Steam:

  1. Catherine: Full Body: extra stages is cool, but I need the online Colosseum.
  2. Ninja Gaiden II: ugh, this one is obviously never happening at this point. I swear, even if they try a third time, they'll most likely find some way to mess it up.

Definitely never happening: Pikmin. Nintendo suck.

 

I'm looking for action hidden gems, preferably scripted and linear—no open world or procuderal generation (roguelike, roguelike-like, or roguelite)

Some of my "usual suspects" favorites are Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand, and Ninja Gaiden II. On the shmup/twin-stick shooter side: Crimzon Clover, Ketsui, and Assault Android Cactus+.

I also love Catherine, so I wouldn't mind some puzzle thrown in there.

As nonlinear as I can go: The Deadly Tower of Monsters.

 

I love my favorite games and have been playing them for years, but I disliked about 99% of the games I played.

I don't think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It's not for the lack of trying new games; I've tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it's popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don't like what most developers create, I guess?

I'm hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.
