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?

What kind of privileged take is this 😂

One of the OGs and some of the most interesting synergies in a roguelike-like. You can get some cracked builds going fairly quickly. Super fun twin-stick shooter.

What do you play?

I ask because the games you play may not run well on the Steam deck, and if you don’t play enough on Steam, you may not want a deck to begin with.

If you’re mainly a console gamer and have an OK PC, you may wanna redeem the card and pick up a game or two that work on your PC.

It should also be noted the Winter sale is in approximately two weeks, so whatever you decide to do, I’d suggest holding onto the $20 until then.

The Rogue Legacy people made an actual roguelike, damn. Good for them.

GOG is great, but it would be silly to buy fighting games on there, for example, since it doesn’t have any infrastructure to support their multiplayer.

Similarly, if trading cards or achievements are detrimental to your enjoyment, stick to Steam.

I stick to Steam for the most part because 95% of my library is not on GOG.

You got anything action? I’m only aware of Lost Soul Aside.

Genokids and Spirit X Strike are indie in Early Access, and I’d be hesitant to qualify Ninja Gaiden 4 as AA.

I’ve probably come across a couple of other indies along the way, but AFAIK, that’s the whole year.

I was psyched Fatal Fury is back until freaking Cristiano Ronaldo showed up 😂 I was never an SNK fan and I’m still knees deep into other fighting games anyway so that’s alright.

I’m not impressed by either. I want AA games back.

Dodge offset from Bayonetta, boost from Vanquish, and make your own moveset from God Hand.

I’ve been playing Soulstice, past the halfway point. Fun action game with a few weird choices.

Fixed camera gets too close in narrow hallways, which makes it difficult to see every enemy I’m fighting, some enemies are transparent, which makes it difficult to see what they’re doing sometimes, and startup animations for non-parryable attacks are a little difficult to spot.

I still have not unlocked all of my skills though, so I’ll be reserving judgement until I do that and play through NG+.

This is like Jared Leto giving Daniel Day-Lewis acting advice 😂

Go back in your hole, Tim.

This can’t be surprising if you’re part of the FGC in any way.

To elaborate for the uninitiated: a keyboard functions similarly to a leverless controller—a popular controller among fighting games players—minus XInput, which is not an issue if you mainly play online and won’t have to worry about plugging two controllers in the same PC.

Yes, I love campy games/movies! The Nixon impression in the trailer sold it for me 😂

Reminds me of The Deadly Tower of Monsters.
