  • Not going to read any of that, to stay from any spoilery content. In summary, are you enjoying it?

  • Come on, you can't just say all that and then not mention the game. At least mention the name 😀

  • Depends on the game. I rarely play games again, specially any narrative one, so I generally don't buy any remakes etc. But if you do want to play the game again, then getting the remake can be good way to revisit it, with modern controls and QoL updates.

    There can be exceptions though, for instance, Final Fantasy VII remake is so different, it's worth playin IMO. Also I bought multiple copies of Skyrim, mainly so that I can play it on Switch / handheld, but that was less getting a remaster, and more getting a portable version.

    I mainly like remake / remasters for the games that I missed the original of, gives me a chance to play them again.

    Finished Dragon Age: Inquisition! Interesting ending. Got me excited for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

    Dropped The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It was fun, but then it stopped being fun. May visit it again some day, when I am in a correct headspace for the game.

    Started Borderlands 3 (on PS5), played just a little bit yet, liked the gunplay and combat, haven't made up my mind on the rest of the game.

    Still playing Horizon Chase Turbo, nothing new to add there.

    Finished Golf Story. It was a nice little game. I started it thinking it of as an RPG-lite, but it wasn't much of RPG. There were quests and leveling up, but most game have some kind of leveling up these days. I would just consider it a narrative sports games.

    Started Hades. I am not a roguelike (or roguelite) fan, have never finished any, even though I have tried a few, so not sure how long I'll play this, but liking it so far. Have reached Elysium in over a dozen tries, not sure what kind of player that makes me. I am best with bow, shooting from far. Going to continue this for a while at least.

    Also started Valkyria Chronicles, makes a good combo with Hades. A turn-based narrative game vs an action roguelike. In Chapter 4, which has the first big mission.

    Phew, that was lots of games.

    What about all of you? What have you been playing?

    Unending Dawn - PlayStation China Hero Project Announce Trailer

    Here is an overview of the game, via Parcae’s Fate Studio:

    From the deep dark beyond reality, intangible beings emerge, and strange colors crawl across the sky, filling the land with malice and taboos.

    Civilizations built on layers of history, faiths woven from lies, all that mortals take pride in, crumbled into ruins on the Day of “Unending Dawn.”

    Yet, some tread the Path of Cognition, unreachable by ordinary folks, bearing the color curse that will ultimately destroy them, guarding the hope that sustains the world’s existence.

    Color is both the source of danger and the genesis of hope. Which is your choice—the Red Of War, the Blue Of Eternity, or the Gold Of Destiny?

    Hope remains, and the flame of belief burns everlastingly.

  • Indivisible has been on my wishlist since they first announced it. How long to beat puts it around 18.5 hours for main quest, and 28 or so for completion, which is much less than something like Hollow Knight, but a lot longer than something Ori and Will of the Wisps.

    Good luck with Baldur's Gate 3, you are welcome to post about it here too. This weekly thread is for all kind of games on any platform.

  • Ahan, interesting. The game is old, didn't know it was still getting updates. Though, it's not a genre I am a fan of, so never really kept track of it.

  • I don't remember the fight, but I do remember getting annoyed with some quick-time event in the end of some Yakuza game, this must be that.

    I have heard a lot about Wild Arms, but never played it, would take a look if they release some updated version with QoL improvements 😀

  • What are you playing this weekend? 2024-07-19
  • Thanks for the recommendations!

    As for trails, just read first paragraph to see you like it, going to skip the rest until I get to this one 😀

  • What are you playing this weekend? 2024-07-19
  • Yeah, I found a few, though I am sure I missed a lot more.

  • What are you playing this weekend? 2024-07-19
  • Oh, didn't know that about studio or Horizon Chase Turbo 2. Well, I can at least enjoy this one.

    Shredder's Revenge is really good. Do you play solo or co-op?

  • Interesting set of games. How is Ship of Fools for playing with non or casual gamer?

    Well, there's a story, and you have some quests like things, not a full blown RPG, but a bit like that. Though, most of the those quests are going somewhere to talk to someone, who then tell you to hit something or some area with your golf ball. Completing the quest gives you XP which lets you level up and improve your stats.

    Once you clear an area you can play the main course there, but these aren't normal golf courses, each area has it's own gimmick or obstacle, for instance one area has lots of water, but you can target specific area in water and bounce your ball on the back of turtle to give it a boost.

  • That sounds super annoying.

    It's still a good game though, and worth it to play at least once.

  • Norland - Launch Trailer | Kingdom/Colony Sim
  • Looks interesting, I am not a fan of characters style though. Similar to Prison Architect etc. but I have never been able to like it.

  • Danganronpa creator left Spike Chunsoft so that he could do unlimited overtime work and take on risks without fearing bankruptcy
  • That's pretty interesting. Glad to see him trying to pursue his goals, and hope the game succeeds.

  • Deliver Us The Moon – Launch Trailer – Nintendo Switch
  • I know someone who has played Deliver Us The Moon and the sequel Deliver Us The Mars on PS and loves them. Maybe I can finally play them now that they are on Switch.

  • Yeah, I don't mind them too much in general, but if you say trailer, give me a proper trailer, otherwise call it an interview / dev commentary.
