Wow, the mutilation of Tolkien lore continues. I'm with Goh, there's just so much more you can do with the First or Second Age and it has more leeway in terms of artistic liberties. Plus, you get to duke it out with Morgoth's armies which makes Sauron's adventures bottom bitch level.

DJ Okawari is the best.

ICEY I think I beat it? Like the Stanley Parable, you're never quite sure if you beat the game. It's a short game that I got back around to beat. At its core, ICEY is a good 2D brawler with really responsive controls. It feels really nice to murder everything nice and quickly. The bosses has their own quirks and are pretty straightforward. The level design though is not that straightforward since it branches a lot. You can disobey the Narrator in the fashion that seems appropriate to you and just have fun. New and free DLC is dropping tomorrow so I look forward to that. English narration by MGS5 Quiet's VA is coming too!

Little King's Story I love and hate this game. I love the gameplay (in general), the aesthetics, music and even the nonsense story. What I hate is the reliance on 30 FPS Mode to beat most bosses due to some animation speeds being tied to frame rate. I knew it coming in but the good feeling game is now sluggish. I just can't believe how much it affected me. The last boss' final form was a piece of cake on 30 FPS since his instant kill move (a gaming sin) now has a very generous wind up time. His projectiles are now also dodge-able (goes for all of them really). I also think there's something funky with the port or my machine running this game. The audio can desync from animation during cutscenes which indicates to me that there's some deeper issue with the port. I'm glad that I got to play it since I think I could put it as one of my favorite or memorable games but god damn this port. And I swear it shouldn't take 64 hours to beat.

I'm really confused. Every so often on Firefox a click and/drag will register as dropping an image or video I viewed some time during my session(s). Have you guys ever heard of or experienced such a thing before?

Who can you recognize?

Well, at least Nintendo can make a Joycon V2 down the line.

Originally from 2014 and it kind of fell under the radar on Japanese Twitter until now. DORAAAAAAAAAEEEEEMOOOOOOOOON!

I would be pissed but then I remember that I have other games I could be playing. Manu from my backlog and a bunch of games from this packed March. If anything delaying it hurts them more than it helps.

In thos case get people to buy it on PS4 then on the PC by means of delaying the release of the PC version by a few months or more. The most well known dipper is probably GTAV where Rockstar release it for last gen, current gen then PC. So triple dipping. I think each was at least a year apart and partially explains the great sale numbers. Supposedly some devs or pubs look to emulate that. Edit: The March 10th date might be the old date or something. The hell if I know anymore.

Finally got a date on the PC release: March 10th. The rumors of deliberate double dipping is false. As for DRM, it's probably still Denuvo. Maybe it's nastier now or whatever. We'll see soon enough.

Apparently the Performance Patch is out and it makes the nearly solid 30 FPS on the PS4 Pro even more so than what was shown in the DF's video I posted. Got to wait for DF to dig into it to see how much of an improvement.

Even people who typically are adverse to open world games are liking it so that's something. Performance is really stable as well. If the PS4 Pro Performance mode (when it comes) is a solid 60 FPS, it might just sell me on getting a PS4 Pro (I love my performance). I do want to play the other PS4/Pro exclusives. Good job Sony and Guerilla Games.

It's a single option in games where I see it similar to graphical presets (Low, Med, High etc) on PC. It's just named differently on consoles. In Nioh it's Action (60FPS, lower graphics), Movie (30 FPS, best graphics) and Variable (Somewhere in between). For FF XV it's Lite (used to be stable 30 FPS but now uncapped at variable resolutions at lower graphics) or High (30 FPS at 1080p via checker boarding with best graphics). Due to frame pacing issues (on PS4/Pro) there might be a third option in the future, not unlike Nioh, since Lite is now like Variable in Nioh. There is now no mode where you can have a steady FPS and frame pacing. It is either accept higher FPS or 30 FPS lock where both has frame pacing issues. Strangely, this is not an issue on the Xbone but it is using different processing options there. These options should exist since people have preferences. Some people can deal with 30 FPS, some need 60 FPS, some can deal with variable FPS and/or deal with frame pacing issues. Since it's on console, it's easier (in theory, see above) to get right and not alienate demographic(s). Edit: Seems like Horizon: Zero Dawn on the PS4 Pro will have a Performance option patch in on a later date. It's up in the air on what it means. It could be 60 FPS or it could be variable. I'm leaning on 60 FPS since Guerilla really nailed the performance at 30 FPS on both PS4 and PS4 Pro. It remains to be seen if they can pull off solid 60 FPS but if they can they might sell me on the PS4 Pro since it's a console exclusive and all.

I look forward to hearing about your fist only run where you punch people out and catch enemy blades and use that to impale them in the chest. On my front, I never expected Little King's Story to take up 50 hours of my time. And that's without cut scenes which I just realized are not playing for me after unlocking a theater mode. So I pretty much missed 80% of the plot and gags. Somehow I still enjoy it enough to go through some really bullshit bosses.

Ah, I was looking at the See All Games section. It wasn't listed there.

I don't see BF1 on there. I might use it for Catalyst and Furi.

Kemono Friends is comfy. Very comfy. Terribly animated in 3D but it is so comfy. The Japanese are right for once. The MADs don't lie.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE. Edit: One interesting thing is that they call it an "Expansion". That's a term that I haven't heard in a while.

Edit: Micheal Flynn is gone. Too much to do with Russia I guess...
