toxicitizen Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Bought some shitty bundle that had a few games I actually wanted and Fanatical gave me a 10% coupon. Both of these were already on sale and calling to me, so I took it as a sign that it was time. I wanted to play RE3 before RE8 comes out, so the timing is perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Wasn't planning on getting anything else for a while, but Ethan reminded me of this and I saw it was on sale on Humble. I heard it's only about 6 hours long so I wasn't going to pay 40 bucks for it but with the sale + Choice subscriber discount it came down to 16 bucks, which seemed about right. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 The PS4 version of Nioh 1 doesn't upgrade to the remaster like the sequel does. I never got the DLC for it either. Buying the collection used ended up being cheaper than just buying the first game on PSN. So I guess now I don't need my PS4 disc anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Steelseries Arctis 9 headset. I'm tired of my current headset's cords always being everywhere, so I wanted to get something wireless. This set's bespoke wireless connection works natively with PS5's 3D audio, can connect to Switch when docked, and can do DTS:X 3D audio on PC, plus it can connect to bluetooth devices, and has an analog input to connect to whatever else you want (like Switch undocked or Xbox's controller headphone jack). It can also listen to any combination of the 3 inputs (bespoke wireless, bluetooth, and analog) at the same time, and control the volume mix between them. The ability to mix game audio and phone audio was the reason I'd stuck with my current wired headset so long, it's great for listening to podcasts while playing. It's not supposed to get here until May 4 though... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Never got to play this one so 10 bucks for the PC version is a no-brainer. I'll probably double dip Heavy Rain at some point because I'm trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think Heavy Rain was the first game I ever platinumed. Looking back I don't know why I did it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Ha I didn't platinum it at launch, I actually went back to it years later to do it. Idk either but I will totally do it all over again once I get the Steam version because I'm a very sick man. It's been years since I played any David Cage game, and while I used to enjoy them unironically, I'm really hoping they'll still be good for some laughs.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I platinumed Detroit: Become Human last fall, and I legit enjoyed that. Sure it's hokey and has a very naive outlook, but it's fun if you take it on its own terms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 This was on sale in the eshop. The last few Pokemon games were such underwhelming disappointments that I've been meaning to give the Digimon games a chance to see if they're any better but I didn't want to pay 40+ bucks on a gamble. Just 19.99 for a two game collection is a steal and if I don't like them then at least I didn't pay much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I've been eyeing these for years now and finally resigned myself to the fact that the better deals I've been waiting for aren't coming. And they go on sale so infrequently that I might as well get them now while I can. I had honestly kinda forgotten about them at this point but they just announced a sequel for Blue Reflection and browsing the Koei Tecmo sale on Steam reminded me about the Berserk game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 @toxicitizen I enjoyed it, but it was very much AA. It was like budget Persona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You kinda made it sound worse than that lol. I didn't buy it expecting a AAA game so I'm fine, and budget Persona sounds good to me. The Trails of Cold Steel games are essentially that.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Returnal I was waiting for reviews for this game, and they're pretty great all around. It sounds like it has the kind of sci-fi/supernatural horror that I absolutely love, and wish we had more of (especially in movies). I'm slightly worried that I might find it too frustrating based on the way people are describing it, but that's why I got a physical copy, so if it's not for me I can sell it to someone else. I'm also pretty sure this is the first purely next-gen game I've gotten, everything else has been either last-gen or cross-gen. *Edit - This is probably related to it being a true next-gen game, but reviews are also saying it makes excellent use of the DualSense features and 3D audio (perfect for my new headphones ), possibly the best out there besides maybe Astros Playroom (but since that game was specifically designed to show off those features it's hardly surprising it's still king). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Just acquired this myself. Seems to be a roguelike, Soulsbourne, space-horror-shooter. So I think I will like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconrath Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) It always warms my heart to see Granzella out doin' things So far I haven't been able to get past the fourth level (and that's on the second to lowest difficulty "Kids") because there's so much on screen to avoid. It does still have a bit of the Kickstarter Funk™- in the screen where you can unlock ships there's a few that require a password (I'm assuming for kickstarter backers?) that on the steam version you have to use your mouse to exit instead of like hitting B on the gamepad etc but I think that could easily be patched.

Mal Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Oh my god, where has this game been in my life? It has eluded me since the Xbox days! With that said, it's quite dated in a lot of ways but... just look at this: It's part RTS and part hack-and-slash with normal to wild demon factions. Like are we fighting a war in Berserk's Midland? lol Oh yeah, OST is mostly metal for some reason but I'm totally here for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you consider drifting as broken then yeah. Even if it's not all the time, it just degrades the experience that you don't want to use it at all. Mines been more or less a brick since Animal Crossing New Horizons dropped off my play list last year (I'm genuinely surprised that it came out only last year... man, 2020 really skewed time). The extra comfort is a bonus too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I was gonna hold off until after I played Persona 5 Strikers, but everyone talking about it just wore down my resolve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I really want to get it too but I know I'm not gonna play it anytime soon so that makes it easier to hold off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
