These mostly seem like UI bugs, hopefully they have those fixed for their 1.0 release.

Thanks for the detailed response.

I didn’t realise it’s a roguelike, thought it’s just plain old dungeon crawling (except with climbing tower, instead of descending the dungeon). Will keep it on my list for now, may give it a try sometime on a deep sale, somewhere down the road.

Mainly play on console, but I’ll keep this in mind for future. Thanks for the tip.

How are you liking Pokemon ZA? Seeing some mixed stuff online. The reviews are overall good, but user reviews on meta critic are abysmal.

Thanks for the link, I do have linux machine but I dont’ really enjoy gaming on PC. I am assuming this is the original freeware release of the game (repacked as flatpak)?

As someone who hadn’t played XC: X before, it was pretty interesting when that happened. Liked the wold-building.

Thanks for the heads up, found a “spoiler-free” guide on when the route splits, so will make a separate save before that.

As for the characters, pretty much all of them are very interesting, don’t think I can choose one favourite. Bernadetta is most interesting, though her backstory is pretty sad. Linhardt is most like me, except even lazier, and much more talented.

That “Big Grey Guy” is one of the major reason I haven’t tried the game. And well the fact that I don’t like horror, but I am going to blame the Big Grey Guy!

I am not a big fan of big roster because of this. Find it difficult to keep everyone updated. But if there is lots of side content like this, which also overlevel your characters, it can help with keeping them all updated.

Heh, the game give very mixed vibes to me, but it looks like something that can be mindless fun. Would love to hear how you liked the game, once you have played it some more.

Personally, I am not excited about the next generation. It feels to me that we haven’t fully utilized this one, and am not sure what the next generation can bring that this one can’t give us.

How are you liking the game? It has been on my wishlist for a long time, and I should be getting it sometime soon now.

I also have to play Cave Story, was hoping for a sale, but it hasn’t gotten one in years, so will have to get it at full price.

I have so many Warhammer games in my wishlist, but I don’t think I have actually played any, except for the first Space Marine on PS3. Should start playing them soon.

Nice to big games coming to Nintendo. Would be interesting to see when / if they start coming same day as other platforms, and how long it lasts, since “next-gen” PS and Xbox rumours are for 2027.

That’s nice to hear.

I don’t think calling Switch version “Tarnished edition” is the best marketing decision…

Those who have played the first one (or are at least interested in the second one), what do you guys think about the Direct, and everything we now know about the game?

The official stance is that it’s just a random animated video, nothing to do with any game plans or anything.

25 Million for the first year is pretty big. Let’s see how much are they actually able to sell.

Paczynski says they once hired a private investigator to find someone living off the grid in the UK. He had unknowingly inherited the rights to several games, but was super supportive of “preserving his family’s legacy” when GOG tracked him down.

So, it happened once. And they hired one private investigator. Not that it isn’t interesting, but why exaggerate everything?

Remaining quotes from article:

“To be perfectly honest, it’s harder than we thought it would be,” Paczynski explained. “What we’ve found out is that games and how they work has deteriorated way faster than what we thought. And we are not talking only about the game not launching. We are talking about more subtle things as well, like the game not supporting modern controllers, or the game not supporting ultra-widescreen or modern resolutions, or even a simple thing like not being able to minimise the game, which is an essential feature today.”

Pacyznski says digital rights management (DRM) features are especially frustrating to circumvent, which means they’re working as designed. Heck, some rather famous games are unplayable without third-party patches because of DRM — any old Xbox-to-PC that’s saddled with a “Games for Windows Live” log-in comes to mind.

Pacyznski suggests that triple-A developers remove DRM from games after a few years to make life easier for future game preservationists. Of course, this will never happen because executives don’t care about preserving games.
