Valkyria Chronicles, baby!

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine... *goes to Games You've Bought thread*

Ahhhh! It's down to $6.79 on the Steam sale. I'm super torn, because it's not the lowest it's been, but you have to go all the way back to December to find a lower price (or really any kind of significant sale) so I don't know what to do...

Yeah, I'm super looking forward to that game, the demo was lovely.

It must be tiny though, I can't imagine it being comfortable to use.

So I'm weirdly actually starting to look forward to the Tales of Vesperia remaster? Tales of Destiny was the first JRPG I ever really liked. I tried Symphonia but couldn't get into it, and that kind of put me off the series, but watching videos of Vesperia and I think I might try this one out.

I've never understood the appeal of skins. The one that came with my copy of Persona 5 looks badass, but I can't imagine actually wanting to put it on my controller.

Well that's terrifying.

Since I can only take about 1 mission in Shadow Tactics in a single sitting, I've also started God of War. I played about an hour and 20 minutes earlier, just finished the prologue, and so far so good. At first I didn't think I was going to like the combat much, but now that I've figured out how to counter with the shield I'm having a lot of fun.

Oh, huh, for some reason I was thinking the lowest it ever got was $10, but you're right, ITAD says the historical low is $4. You're not the boss of me!

@FLD Yeah, I've never played anything like this before. I have seen articles talking about how it's brought back the dead genre of realtime tactics, but I never even knew that was a thing. I actually assumed this was turn-based when I first started it.

Yeah, I'll probably get VC1 as soon as it goes back down to $10.

Yeah, with MS releasing everything on Windows (even Halo Infinite is confirmed for Windows) there's no reason to get an Xbox if you have a gaming PC.

I've been playing Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. It's like XCOM but in real-time, and set in feudal Japan. It's a hell of a lot of fun, and quite challenging. It feels hard, and often I get to parts that are impossible, but then if I walk away for a while suddenly a solution will come to me while I'm doing something else. I'm addicted. I'm especially glad it's good, because it came in the Humble Bundle that I got for The Long Journey Home, and I ended up not liking TLJH, so I'm glad there's something good in it.

I am a consumer whore. Although all told, with my launch PS4 trade-in, this all only cost me $300.

Because I've heard very good things about The Witcher 3, I just don't have any interest in playing the third entry in a series where I haven't played the first two. Cyberpunk doesn't have that issue. *Edit - It's not that I think I wouldn't like the Witcher 3, I think I probably would, I just don't want to go into it without the first two.

@deanb I bounced off Witcher 1 after like 8 hours, and tried Witcher 2 twice and bounced off both times, so I never even attempted Witcher 3.

... Is it doing that? I guess it's possible if the new consoles come out next year, but I'd expect 2020 and for TESVI to be cross-gen.

I also got this, within 10 seconds of the end of the Dying Light 2 segment.

Yeah, cyberpunk is usually like Gotham: always night, usually fall/winter. I like the brightness and colors too. I'm actually looking forward to this game, even though I bounced off the Witcher games. I hear those games got much more playable with the later ones, so I'm looking forward to getting in on the ground floor of a series where they've already done that learning.

Sea of Solitude looks like it could be cool.

They're not making any more of the SE Go games? I love those games...
