That's after my holiday backlog. The CPU issue, now fixed I think, held me back buying it initially. My will is weak on tackling my main backlog...

Let me tell you something...

Skip the first minute or so. This video shows how 3rd Person games could work in VR and modded VR at that. It could be from RTS to traditional 3rd Person games. It's interesting to see in even this janky form. To me it kind of makes the self inflicted typecasting (for a lack of a better word) to 1st Person games by VR devs seems almost silly. Yes, they make the most sense but other views is possible and should be explored. Also this video is also nice to see how Nintendo IP can work in VR. To me, it looks like the same breath of life that motion controls gave Resident Evil 4 on the Wii. Nintendo hardware got ways to go though.... if it survives the Switch era.

With server browsers and custom games, I feel that we might see a really weird side to Overwatch. A weird but fundamentally more fun Overwatch.

Apparently the Circle of Life led to some shady things like replacing a customer's new PS4 with a refurbished one. That and the Circle of Life program as now described would've been hard to believe but after the shit that Wells Fargo pulled (quotas on opening new accounts led to fraudulent accounts opened without consent or knowledge of customers) makes the Circle of Life and shady things a possibility that can happen.

Caught back up with Attack on Titan. It's done. The original intents is done.

If I ever die before some of the Republicans that I used to look favorably to, even look up to, like say John Mcain. I want them to be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time. Disregard. I suck harder at reading than than maybe Trump reading his EOs.

It wouldn't surprise me if Synthwave begin to have a sort of mainstream footprint in the coming years.

Holy crap. That certainly a way to get around being bipedal while remaining upright. I wonder if it can go up the hill it came down on while upright or if it needs to use its arms to "claw" it way up hill? But shit. In any normal urban/developed area, this thing has insane potential. I imagine if they need to carry more weight they'll just add more legs/wheels. Suddenly, with four legs/wheels we have Tachikomas. Indeed.

Jack, as expected, got burnt out trying to defeat Aku and judging by the trailer, everything got to go back to that fateful battle when Jack was sent through the portal of time. Edit: This trailer is TOO GOOD.

I never liked Eggos, especially not now that I associate it with eldritch abominations. Honestly, that ad might have shown a bit too much. We know the Upside Down is a whole other world. Should've let it turn up to 11 naturally as people watch through season 2.

Sure, I bitched about the last few levels (especially the final level which is pure instant death platforming) a hour ago but this is still a great game. Besides from the great music, I like how each item from each stage changes the game in neat ways, unlike the transformations from the last game. You could only use one transformation at a time so there were no synergy between them and moves. The items though has great synergy which culimates to being able to blast through levels which makes backtracking a breeze. And backtracking you will if you want the real ending. The real final boss is a blast to fight as well. There's four stages where the last one is just for fun. Now I really want Half-Genie Hero. Seems like they are combining the transformations and items to work together. Also there's more Rottytops. Edit: I got to mention this: There is one level that screams the first level of Super Ghoul N Ghosts. All it was missing was changing platforms. It nearly kicked my ass until I started to run. God, so many flash backs.

Okay Shantae, enough with fucking instant kill platforming sections. The later levels are filled with them and it's tiresome. Give me interesting enemies to fight.

Killzone 3 MP was pretty great. Also Helghan did nothing wrong.

Surprised that KT did that for Durante. If it has blessings from him then maybe...

This is me right now so I might get Atelier depending on how the port is. And see my edit regarding my initial impressions on LKS' port. Main complaint is with inputs but I can get used to the quirks.

Gotta show XSEED (and other companies) that their efforts are not wasted. Edit: Quick port report. Little King's Story performance has improved. Some minor (non-gameplay important) stuff does run at double speed but you kind of get used to it during 60 FPS mode. For when it matters, F1 switches between modes on the fly though It feels way too good to play on 60 FPS to move back to 30 FPS but I can see why this was an acceptable workaround. My only major complaint and it appears to have not been address is controls besides adding more supported formats. The M+KB is still terrible. No rebinding and there is nothing for the mouse to do (i.e., camera control). WASD to move but camera turning is binded to QE so it is awkward to move the camera while moving. M is to pull up the menu, to select is Enter and to exit is Backspace. The controller inputs is weird too. Menu navigation is tied to the D-pad so you cannot move while fumbling around in the menu screen. This might be solved by tying menu navigation to say the triggers (leaving the right and left bumpers for the specialized functions). Otherwise it's not terrible and this might be the preferable way to play. I can't help but feel that letting people rebind their controllers would solve most complaints here.

XSEED just patched Little King's Story with the direct help of Durante (What can that guy NOT do?). He fixed the stuttering and improved overall performance. 60 FPS mode isn't perfect but it is way better than it was previously.
