I've had a few drinks.
Fuck Epic.
The fact that they haven't tapped into the weeaboo market is such an incredible blessing. MonHun, visual novels, VR hentai (and otherwise), Touhou, all Steam baby. Can't even articulate to you how much I'm looking forward to Iceborne and World of Horror.
Thank you for reading and tune in next month when I complain about censorship, and how consoles are holding video games back.

The one group of games I wish EGS could o all in on and I don't think they'll touch it with a 10 foot moneyhatting pole
It wasn't even really a "Forbes contributor" in the sense of some unknown schmuck writing a blog-post.
It was Paul Tassi, he's a known actual quantity.
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, brands trying to be "woke," "memey" or "hip" on social media.
Its like those people havent heard of the Streisand effect.
Ever since I listened to the OST I got oddly hyped for Octopath Traveler to come to PC. And I'm SO in the mood for an old-timey JRPG like this.

I started RUINER for the first time, initial impressions were that it seemed neat if really hard to read when you're going to get hit, but going to the city after the first level and it almost instantly managed to make me mad. I went to explore and got punished for it because I went down an alley that wasn't described on the map and it put me in a room I couldn't leave and all the paths in there went to fights I couldn't win? I had to exit to the menu and reload a checkpoint to get out of it. And I have no idea what it was. The menu said it was some level or other but it also changed the difficulty in there.
I dunno, I really don't like games that throw an open / explore phase at you and then make you regret exploring. That's not a great design. I guess I"ll just follow the checkpoints and pretend the rest of it doesn't exist.

Ah, thank you for your kindness but I couldn't accept that in good conscience with the horrible backlog that I haveIf you don't own it, drop me a message, I have an extra key.
Who knows when I'd get around to it. I need to clear at least a dozen more games before I add a new one to the stack, hah.My new policy for buying games is to assess whether I've gotta play it right now or if I'd be content going through my backlog. Responsible spending woo!
Death End re;Quest is good, but man the actual game sections feel like they get in the way of the interesting VN segments.
Will you get to review Crystar as well? I hope the port is good, and doesn't include resolution lock like Death End.

For those that can understand the information that's on Steamdb, can anyone please let me know if this DLC (that has a "free" button on its Steamdb page) adds actual content to an account if added:
I know some DLCs are listed as "free" on Steamdb, but if you add them they don't actually install or do anything, they are empty.
The DLC above was apparently given in Taiwan in some ASUS event, or with the purchase of some items on an event, so users outside of Taiwan have no legal way to get it, so I'm hoping I can add it to my account through this method.

i cant wait for if it ever happens i you buy a ea game on consoles it launches a origin type app on top off the xbox stuff to then launch a ea/origin game,
bare in mind this wouldnt be anything unexpcted, ubisoft already nearly did this with the first design of uplay or around that time i very much remember with prince of persia forgotten sands uplay was all sorts of bork with its implementation and would launch itself with the game and when you wanted to claim your rewards too.

Even better would be if you could only buy digital EA games if you download the Origin app on PSN and so forth. Then comes a Devolver app, an Epic app, a Bethesda app, an Activision app -- each with their own logins of course.
Welcome to our hell >: D (Hope it never comes to pass but the reaction would be entertaining if it ever does)

That looks amazing. Thanks for the heads up. The frog detective game they did a video on a while ago also seemed really cool.LudoNarraCon 2023

Oh no, I've unlocked the Cabaret Club in Kiwami 2.
By the time you finish FF6 I imagine you'd have to relearn how to play Sekiro whereas for FF6 you could just quickly read a wiki to catch up. I'd go for Sekiro. But FF6 also seems like a good game to casually play on days that you're not up for Sekiro since it's mechanically the polar opposite of that.

... especially when the corporations behind those brands have been doing stuff like this for years:
Wow at that rage 2 tweet. I don't understand how so many companies come of as so damn insecure. You don't have feelings!
It's a marketing gimmick (combined with a grudge at Kotaku, I assume) Lot's of people playing games already are already thinking they have a "relationship" with companies like Sony or Nintendo, so publishers are just using this tendency to push their product even more. It's pretty clever.
I feel it's just a matter of what you expect from these sites. They are decent as enthusiast media, giving people something to be hyped about, and some entertaining bits o news and info.
Actual investigative work isn't really a thing most people want, nor willing to fund, and so it's not suprising that Schreier is basically the only one doing this kind of thing. I am impressed how Kotaku is standing behind him, even when it leads to them getting blacklisted by big publishing houses like Zenimax.

it's basically this:
yes, exactly ... that's also why most websites DON'T do articles like that ... and DON'T ask publishers hard questions
because if they do - they'll get their ass blacklisted (sometimes their entire outlet!) ... so no more review copies, no more preview events etc.
the publishers basically got them by the balls
that's why you get articles that are basically just copy/pasted press releases ... or clickbait ... because they have to get the money from somewhere ... or just close down
Played a bit more of FF Type-0 but...nah just didn't feel like it :S It has some good core ideas, but the overall presentation+30 FPS lock feels like a drag to play through.
Gracias amigo, I'll try that now.
RAGE 2 preload seems to be fixed now. 31.0GB
Still waiting to see if it will have any steam features (Achievements? Cards? Will it launch Bethesda launcher?). But I will be getting it more than likely. I like every Bethesada published game..except maybe Brink, they burned me there day 1..
edit. I see they updated the store page and it now says Achievements + Cloud Saves on Steam, woo hoo. I also see it unlocks on Monday in AU, hopefully I can VPN!

I've finished with Ace Attorney Trilogy.
That was truly something special. The twists and turns on the final case were too good. As much as I love 1-4 and 1-5, case 3-5 was a different kind of good in a sense that Phoenix didn't rely on the 11th-hour extra evidence, gimmick witness or anything like that. It just feels like he's using his skills and what he has learned across 3 games. Although I must admit, the final suspect reveal was pretty cool and seeing it in a high resolution was hype as hell.
Well, time to grab the other games and safely insert them into my backlog. Some parting screenshots:
Next on my list to play would be a short interlude of Death Mark followed by Muv-Luv Extra.

It's hands down one of the greatest sagas of all time, let's hope they bring the rest as well.
Wow, Variety's gaming section is closing down the day E3 ends.
Let me just tell you that Extra might feel like a downgrade coming from Ace Attorney, but it's absolutely crucial for both Unlimited (which is a massive upgrade) and Alternative (which is one of the best VNs out there, on par with S;G, Umineko and Fata Morgana IMO)
I need to return to Ace Attorney, but I'm probably not going anywhere close to it with Kiwami 2's Four Shine.
So that's the end of Sekiro for me. I feel like is should start a NG+ run while I still remember how to play. I have most of the skills and only need a few more upgrades on the shinobi tools.
Overall was a great time, From really knows how to make great fights and bosses. I still think I like the character customization in Dark Souls more than here, but I guess that's the trade off for getting a named character and more coherent plot.

Pretty much stopped everything else the moment I've unlocked the Club.. Blazed straight through the first league.
I should probably stop though and wait until I've unlocked some hostesses from sidestories.
And I'm curious about the Clan Creator.
Variety had a gaming section? Maybe some of these sites in trouble should try actual journalism and less enthusiast press?

So, I tried out Star Wars: Republic Commando which has been in my backlog for quite a few years.
Really didn't feel it. Seems definitely like a "you had to have been there then".
It has one of the things I really dislike from the PS2/XBOX/early X360-era, enemies that show absolutely no reaction to being shot.
It's interesting how such a thing can really enhance bullet-sponginess and really make me uninterested in a game.
That's actually one of my favorite parts about Ghost Recon Wildlands, most enemies really go down after one bullet which really enhanced the experience and I wish more games would dare to work that way...
Anyways, so I started playing Black Ops II instead. Classic COD with everything it entails but with some novel twists.

I knew that Variety had a gaming section, but never bothered with it since they never published a story that I was interested in.
Republic Commando was such a good ass game tho.
Legitimately one of the best Star Wars games in general.
That entire Kashyyk mission was pure YEET

Yeah there are a lot of games that unfortunately just haven't aged well which is a shame. I never played Republic Commando (but do have it in my Steam library). I regularly fire up old games from my past thinking 'oh my god this game was amazing' only to be a bit disappointed with some element of it, be it graphics or poor UI or controls.
Sometimes its best to leave things in the past.
I don’t know what I expected when I was offered to check out the “Toylets” but it wasn’t this.

yup, that's Yakuza alright
Asset flips these daysI don’t know what I expected when I was offered to check out the “Toylets” but it wasn’t this.
That minigame is legit one of the hardest in the game too....I don’t know what I expected when I was offered to check out the “Toylets” but it wasn’t this.
I literally couldnt beat the first stage in my 35+ hour playthrough on PS4
