As the starry sky was restored, the King's fans gradually grew in number all over the world. The King wanted to respond to the wishes of his fans for his success, and the Prince kept rolling the katamari to make everyone's dreams come true.

Loop8: Summer of Gods

Your choices shape the world in this coming-of-age RPG set in 1980s rural Japan.

Step into the life of Nini, a newly earthbound teen who arrives in the quaint Japanese town of Ashihara in August 1983. Explore the town, befriend its people, and face off against the Kegai in turn-based battles where the outcomes depend on the relationships you’ve built and the decisions you’ve made. Use Nini’s special connection to the gods to reset the world, with each loop allowing Nini and his allies to relive the 8th month over and over until they get it right...or the Kegai overcome them entirely.

With one month until the world ends, how will you spend each day?

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

Solve your own murder in this quirky, puzzle-packed mystery classic, now in HD!

BANG! A single bullet rings out in the dark city. But as one life ends, the story is just getting started... Sissel wakes up as a ghost and realises he has lost his memory along with his life. “Who am I? Who killed me? And why?” With only a few hours until sunrise — and oblivion — to uncover these answers, Sissel must solve the mystery of his own murder, starting with the detective who may have witnessed the crime... Using the powers of the dead, you can possess and manipulate objects and even rewind time as you work to solve brainteasing puzzles in a story chock-full of quirky humour and charming characters.

This long-awaited HD remaster of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, the classic mystery puzzle game directed by Shu Takumi, creator of the Ace Attorney series, features upgraded visuals and sound. Enjoy new music arrangements by celebrated Great Ace Attorney composer Yasumasa Kitagawa which are fully synchronized with the original music so you can switch between them at any time during gameplay. There's also a new gallery of artwork and music. This is no trick: it’s the ultimate version of this puzzle-solving mystery adventure classic!



Amnesia: The Bunker

Left all alone in a desolate WW1 bunker with only one bullet remaining in the barrel, it’s up to you to face the oppressing terrors in the dark. Keep the lights on at all costs, persevere, and make your way out alive. A truly intense horror experience.

Immerse yourself in the multiple ways of tackling survival. In the shoes of the French soldier Henri Clément, you are armed with a revolver gun, a noisy dynamo flashlight, and other scarce supplies to scavenge and craft along the way. With randomization and unpredictable behavior, no play-through is the same.

Hunted by an ever-present threat reacting to your every move and sound, you must adapt your play-style to face hell. Every decision will change the outcome of how the game responds. Actions bear consequences.

It's june!.
Thanks for the new thread Mor
-ordered Street Fighter 6.


Want:
Loop8: Summer of Gods
Aliens: Dark Descent

I'm interested on Diablo but I would like Steam release (something wont happen by now)

and I want to play Switch's Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, it's my most anticipated game month.




Same! And it's not like I'm a pure virgin either... Was it torrents based? Because I don't torrent much.
Yes is where group releasers like NTb, PIGNUS, FGT, BORDURE, ROVERS, etc... shared their releases as first source other than usenet newz groups.
But the greatest thing it was very well organized it was good site to visit even without downloading anything just to know what show, BD, music, etc.. was released because it was there just few minutes after being on sale, stream, etc... There were many versions for everyrelease (codecs -audio and videos-, rips, resolutions, etc... to choose as you like). Was the best site to track multimedia. -torrents and magnets- with all those streaming platforms, discs etc... is pretty hard to track.
Many people are posting alternatives on other forums but many of those alternative are just database torrent/magnets sites which nodes are rarbg tracker. So with the main node down they're nearly useless. As somebody said me when those groups decide where they share their releases is where people will go, so time to wait.

That's a lot of games this month. And a lot last month too.
Plus tons of announcements soon... this year is strangely busy eh? That feels weird after some really slow years since COVID hit.

Seems like 300 actually.
Apologies, i tried to overwrite it in the bbcode to 250 but it seems to ignore that... >_<

I only hide them to low post-counters cuz i got tired of juniors who exist solely to vacuum up free games. I want this community to be more than that, so I hide them in an effort to make sure only active contributors can see them. It's a catch 22, I know not all of our juniors are like that, but what can ya do...

Edit: If you PM me which of the remaining two you'd like I'm happy to provide assuming they don't get nabbed between now and then. :3

Nice thread, Mor! Thanks!

Interested in Loop8 and Etrian Odyssey. Going to wait for sale though because of Zelda (and this journey in Hyrule can probably last me for two months more).

I went and saw Shin Kamen Rider in theaters.

My only prior experience to Kamen Rider is some YouTube videos that I have watched talking about the series and me having just watched the first 10 episodes of the OG series this past week in order to know more about Shin Kamen Rider.


After watching the movie, it did make me think more about how live action movies from Japan don't really do well in the US. So if you had a live action movie from Japan and released it and select theaters it will make some money but not a lot, now release an anime movie in the US and that alone will generate more interest and make more money. In other words that Japanese live action movie may be a 1 day only thing with only 1 showing and it's subbed only. Meanwhile that anime movie may likely be airing more than 1 day with multiple showings and also the option of watching it dubbed or subbed.




There were parts of the movie that I liked and others that I didn't like, watching the OG series did make me appreciate the movie more. Overall I liked it and there were goofy fun stuff (the action sequence were out there but were also rather time to what some other people are doing out there) while also having more serious moments and stuff


Overall I give it a 7/10.


I have not watched Shin Ultraman (I am not familiar with Ultraman, other than Ben10 took some inspiration from it) but I have watched Shin Godzilla and that was a cool movie.

Thanks for the thread Mor!

It's been bothering me for a while now, but wishlisting via the browser on the phone app hasn't been working for me for a while now, does anyone have any ideas?
I click on the "Wishlist on Steam" button, it then opens the app but only gives a JSON response saying {"success": false, "wishlistCount": 0} as if I'm not properly logged in.

Well, my steelseries arctis 7 that I bought from 2018 still works with no issues, connection or battery wise. I have replaced the earpads once though. Admittedly the sound is not that great for the price really, but for the wireless and comfort convenience, I'd say it's worth the $160 I spent almost 5 years ago.

I have Arctis 1 Wireless and I sometimes have issues with connection. Every few weeks my right cup stops working but when I reset headset and do pairing process again with the USB cable it works again without issues. And that is just after 2 years from purchase. So I kinda can't recommend Steel Series.

Thanks for the new thread Mor. Lots of interesting indies this month, especially Dordogne looks awesome!

This month will also be very important to me because I'll be signing a contract for a new job after working more than 20 years for my current employer. I currently have two job offers that I like: the fist one is as .NET developer in a company that creates software for hospitals. I'll have to study A LOT in preparation for this job (advanced C#, javascript, HTML, CSS, React, JSX, noSQL etc) and 2 times a week I'll be on the road for 2 hours. But I get a nice (electric) company car and the possibility to grow as team leader. The other job is for a big HR company and is more relax: database maintenance + design, analysis for new features, user management, creating advanced reports etc. No car here, but the company is merely 3km from home, the teamleader is awesome and I already know a few people who work there. Decisions decisions... but I'm looking forward to it. :)

Damn, layoffs at Firaxis. This coinciding with Midnight Suns winding down (and with Jake Solomon having left already), I'm just going to assume that this is them fully disbanding the XCOM team. Hope for a third installment is probably completely dead. :crying-face:
That's why Marvel, Disney, FRANCHISES, etc. are a menace in Gaming. Either most budget goes to licensing and the end-product is shit, or the suits overvalue the specific brand power or appeal of yet another Marvel/FRANCHISE game.

The result are tears, broken devs and closed studios.

I've been getting this error too on the phone app!

The workaround I've found is to click on the game icon itself instead of the "Add To Wishlist" button. This takes you directly to the Steam page in the app, then you just scroll down and wishlist. Annoying, but it's two additional seconds.
