I don't know about games media, but the reason I ignored LiS2 was because I couldn't handle the writing of the first game. The whole American school drama is something completely foreign and uninteresting to me and I found the main character (Chloe) to be extremely obnoxious.
It looks interesting:
Looks good but I'm afraid of it ending up as a glorified tech demo instead of a competent game.

The new LiS looks pretty damn amazing. No doubts that I'm going to love it.

Forspoken looks promising as well but yeah, we definitely need to see more.

I just saw this in my Youtube Feed. We finally have Kiryu Kazuma in Tekken 7!

It's just a mod but I'll take it. :p

Laying the blame on the games media is odd... A very vocal chunk of LiS1/BTS fans completely wrote LiS2 off as soon as it was revealed because they were only interested in shipping teenage lesbians. The LiS subreddit is basically exclusively about Pricefield.

I've seen so many people say "I couldn't relate to the characters in LiS2" which is telling. It's called empathy. Maybe Alex Chen can teach it to them.

It looks interesting:
The engine and traversal look really good. On the other hand, the Isekai wave has reached even games it seems, we've gone full circle :p.

I'm still wary of how genuine that footage might be, on account of Squeenix and their FFXV E3 reveal which was literally faked.

for what it's worth - LiS2 is 100% NOT that

I don't care about all LiS games equally :p

It looks interesting:
I'm really happy that they seem serious about actually making this game (which wasn't so apparent when it was just a "project"). Perhaps they can even ship it on time given that it doesn't have the burden of being a huge existing franchise.

From a tech perspective it looks awesome, and I like that they are using their own engine (even if it might not be the best business decision). The mono-/duo-culture trend in engines is just so boring from an enthusiast perspective ;)

Hey, I started my replay of Disgaea 1 !
Turns out it wasn't that hard, I just had to start the game :sweaty-blob:

I had forgotten how convoluted the whole thing is.
What I hadn't forgotten and was reminded of is that I fucking miss AA JP games. Yeah, I know, Disgaea keeps being made, but so many others.

EA Play via Game Pass gives you access to EA Play through Origin, so you don't have to bother with the Windows Store. That's a relief. I wish I could link my Steam account so I could get EA Play there, but hey.

I played the first LiS and didn't like it :coffee-blob:
I liked it just fine but I really haven't felt the need to revisit the series. I bought Before the Storm despite my feelings on the very concept of a prequel to that story being "but why" and never got around to playing it. I was going to check out LiS2 after playing BtS, and since that doesn't look like it's going to happen at this point... 🤷‍♂️

Well, you can 100% ignore the existence of BTS and still enjoy LiS2.

You can download third party games that are on EA Play with a linked Game Pass account. Titles like Breathedge and Pyre are available for me. EA Play Pro titles don't work, but that was to be expected.

I'm somewhat disappointed that EA Play on GP doesn't come with SC3000, Societies, Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Pacific Assault. I know, vastly different games, and I might even have MH: PA on GOG, but still.

Annoying. I didn’t expect a Squex sale. With bad discounts at that.
And there are several new games coming out soon.

I must thread lightly.

Im super looking forward to the LiS 3 OST. Hoping for more Sufjan Stevens.

"Mystery of Love" introduced me to Sufjan.


Also recommend Call Me By Your Name. Great movie.
