Damn, that's efficient. I'm currently on the trip to the Virga Islands, and at around 50 hours according to in-game tracker. I am pretty sure I will take twice as long as you did.
That's because i am an experienced, highly skilled Gamerboi

It's funny how Vampire Survivors went from Castlevania rip-off to featuring original Castlevania characters and music. They went full circle.

Anyway, I have been catching up with all the updates and dlc's with my SO and we are about to get all available achievements, so this one is day 1 for me.

I bought a retro handheld. I have been thinking about moving my gaming off the desktop and this will be sort of a test run to see if I like the handheld lifestyle. Anyone have any experience with these things? How do you like them?

Honkai Impact 3rd finally available from HoyoPlay... about fucking time, took them ages to add it to their launcher for some reason compared to the other games

A TrimUI Smart Pro, if I wrote that correctly.
Nice.:) I have a Ambernic RG35XX and I quite like it! Don't play as much as I thought I would, mostly because I dont take long train rides as much as I thought I would. I think the biggest issue for me was getting used to playing old games again, since they usually lack quality of life things that I'm so used to now.

I am no expert in localisation, but my best guess of delay in English release is not due to the long translation time but inefficient workflow between developers and translators.

Maybe Cold Steel 4 being such a garbage piece of shit game that it made me consider dropping the entire series was not a bad thing after all.

Most definitely.
From what I understand Falcom likes to change the script up until the last second and only hands it over to the localization team very late/when the game is released.
If you want to have faster localizations you need to lock the script in earlier and hand it over to the localization team earlier.

Ubisoft has disbanded the team behind Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. Game did not reach expectations and sequel was refused.


Internally, the fate of the game was already decided a few weeks after the release of the game, it was clear in Spring that after releasing a few DLCs and Cosmetics it would be the end.

A few members of the core dev team fought to get a sequel greenlit which did not happen, then they pushed for two expansions hoping that it would work this time but it didn't since Ubisoft needed more hands to help on other projects that had a better sales potential which wasn't the case with Lost Crown not meeting sales expectations.

Another crazy justification that the dev team received from higher-ups was that releasing a sequel for the game would cannibalize long term sales of the first game.

This is insane coming from the company that released yearly Assassin's Creed games for nearly a decade lol.

Sad but expected. The game was too expensive (€50) compared to the many other great metroidvanias, and not releasing it on Steam was just incredibly stupid.

I actually bought it when it released on Steam to support Ubisofts decision to make such a great quality game instead of their usual open world bloatware. But the issues I had with the useless Ubisoft Connect launcher made me decide not to bother anymore for future games.

I really hate that company.

so im sure someone else would find this funny but I went back and forth with Ubisofts help ticket system like 6-7 times because I owned the Season pass for AC Odyssey and it said it gave me AC Liberation HD and it didnt show up on my games list, finally on the last ticket I get they tell me to uninstall Ubisoft & Steam, unlink my steam account, reconnect my steam account install both again as admin then launch AC 3 remastered on steam

However I never mentioned steam once and I don't even own AC 3 Remastered on steam, but I mentioned how dumb the entire thing was to someone else on a discord and they pointed out that "By the way AC 3 remastered contains Liberation HD in it, it's like one entry"



Sooo
Yeah it doesnt say that anywhere on the Ubisoft Connect Entry for it

The 6?+ different help people for ubisoft all thought I was dumb as a rock but can see everything tied to my account

I saw this on sale not that long ago and was comparing the editions as well. And I also was wondering the same and how Ubisoft would even be able to add a game to someones steam library without that steam user manually adding it. Like can they just stealth drop a separate steam game into your steam library because you own a season pass? It feels like only Valve themselves would be able to do something like that.

So it makes sense for it to be one entry lol.

Its even more confusing as the edition banner in the Steam Odyssey page lists the game as Liberation remastered when the 2014 game on Steam is called Liberation HD lol.

This is part of why I was getting so screwed up, I was going "Okay I have the season pass: I have all the dlc.. I see the one game and... Wheres the second game?"

Then going into my Ubisoft connect library and being even more confused
