@WoomyNNYes That’s frickin’ beautiful. I’ve heard Conan’s laugh once or twice and it was very... very frightening. Shame he couldn’t give us a scream in Death Stranding... but a cameo with him in an otter suit’s enough.

@MarioLover92
Hi. 😀
Do you still play ACNH ?
Well, i rarely to play ACNH recently as my hype is still on Yokai Watch 3 Tempura and the games i bought just now (Daaaaaah.... !!! Rabbids on Wii) but i still want to visit your island to see your island progress.

@TheJGG Ah yeah, I do recall hearing that it's a pretty lengthy adventure. I didn't make it too far as of now, so I'll be sure to put a good chunk of time into it! I've been playing it for the past two or three days.

@Anti-Matter I haven't been playing it too much as I kind of got burnt out on it. But yes, I still play it occasionally. I did play it today though, since one of my friends has a birthday today - so I sent him a gift. Feel free to visit my dream address, it's still in my signature.

It’s finally happened 🥲

For the first time in all the time I’ve been playing Pokémon, I’ve found a full-odds, completely random, unplanned, first-encounter shiny legendary Pokémon.

(Kyurem in Omega Ruby)

@MarioLover92 Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I'm not sure how fast you are when it comes to games but in my case (very fast) I've taken about 42 hours and I'm about 65% into the game. It's a quality experience that you'll enjoy immensely. Be sure to keep us posted on this adventure

@MorningRain Welcome to NL! You said you're a fan of video game music, which you could talk about for days? Well I'm more or less the same. Which videogame soundtrack is your favourite and why?

Mine fluctuates from time to time but the one I've enjoyed consistently is Xenoblade, as it happens.

I had a start on Stardew Valley and after one month of learning the ropes I’ve had a massive amount of fun. The NPCs aren’t too badly written, I’d argue some of them are more interesting than in Animal Crossing.

The character I have the strongest relationship with is Emily, with four stars. I’ll need to do the same with Marnie because of the purple shorts sidequest. Anyone played it recently?

@TheJGG Thats a hard question so I'm gonna give a few of my favorites
Pokemon X and Y
( i have put so many hours into that game trading,battling,and replaying the main story my favorite tracks in that game would be professor sycamores theme,camphrier town, and geosenge town)
Animal Crossing New Leaf
(all the hourly tracks are amazing my favorites being 8am,8pm and 1am i honestly don't have 1 track in this game I dislike)
Xenoblade 1 and 2
(I'm including both so from xenoblade 2 my favorites are Spirit crucible elpys,tantal, and torigoth night and from xenoblade 1 mechonis capital, in the refugee camp, title screen,gaur plains night ,satori march, eryth sea, and Riki the legendary heropon)
The World ends with you
(honestly this game fits my music taste outside of me listening to video game soundtracks and this is my favorite game so here's some of favorites twister, someday,and transformation are just some)
Persona 4
(I really like vocal tracks and this game has a ton of them my favorites are heartbreak, signs of love, time to make history, reach out to the truth, and alone(this isn't a vocal track but I still really like it)
I could go on for longer but I have already spend 30 minutes writing this but hey if there's any more talk about game soundtracks or recommendations of games with great sound tracks just @ me Thanks!

@MorningRain
Have you ever played Yokai Watch games on 3DS ?
I played Yokai Watch 3 Tempura 3DS a lot recently. (Have accumulated more than 96 hours gameplay)
I played Pokemon on 3DS, NDS and Switch too but i played Pokemon games very casual, not really eager to hunt the shinies / legendaries or get into competitive online battle. At least i have finished the storyline of Pokemon X, Alpha Sapphire and Sword (The other series are still not yet finished).

@MorningRain If you can talk about it for half an hour I can do it for... that long too! I haven’t played any of the Pokémon games, but the two that stand out to me the most are the Xenoblade games, plus Persona 4. I’ve only played three games that have a larger musical emphasis on vocals, so that’s Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Persona 4/5. It’s great to hear various vocalists, even if there’s the chance their voices’ll grate on you!

Xenoblade’s one of my all time favourites, and the soundtrack is a very key part of the experience. Sometimes remastered/redone music fails to live up to the original material but I can only name two or three tracks I’ve enjoyed less when remastered. They are, specifically, Central Factory, Gaur Plain (Day). I’d rate that soundtrack above X and 2, though I’d say those two are equal. The adrenaline when taking down tinier enemies in Skells is unbelievable. 2’s score has some great songs, like Tantal (d/n), Mor Ardain, almost all the battle themes, and a few more. But not all of it is memorable, more... fitting.

As for Persona’s soundtrack... one of the best in the biz really. 5’s soundtrack is good and all but 4’s holds it own very well. My favourite songs from 5 are New Beginning, Gentle Madman, I Believe, Life Will Change (instrumental) and the fourth palace theme. And my faves from 4 are pretty much the same as yours, I much prefer the vocals in 4 to 5...

Quick question about Overcooked All You Can Eat PS4 version.
Is the PS4 version also running in 60 fps like PS5 version ?
I asked this question since i have PS4 Slim.

@TheJGG All righty. I may get stuck at certain points, anyway. lol

@Zuljaras hey, figured I'd pop in quickly and respond so everything is kosher. I thought about it and, honestly, the games are probably better off with someone else. I doubt i'd make the time to play them, and i'd feel pretty rotten if they sat around on my Switch unplayed. Thanks for keeping me in mind though buddy 😁

Talking about that, turns out I had played the RE5 demo at some point, and the save data was still on my Switch! I was able to skip the beginning of the game and got a bonus costume for Chris. How convenient.

After playing RE8 so much, 5 feels like controlling a rusty tank, but the game still looks really nice.

@Losermagnet ah good to know!

So if someone here want to play RE6 just tell me and I will send it to you

@Eel RE5 is the last RE with controls close to a tank You have more movement than RE4. The DLC Lost in Nightmares is really cool!

I have rewritten the game list of PS4 and Switch, combined with the upcoming games, I have decided some games I will pick the PS4 version, other titles will be Switch version (for multi console release games) and after I saw the quantity of PS4 and Switch games on my list, I was surprised I could registered more than 50 PS4 games and 100 Switch games. 😲
That was a lot of games.

@TheJGG
yeah for sure love when games use vocal tracks but one of my favorite persona 5 songs (its not a vocal track) is Improvised Song Dedicated to the next Prime Minister’s Ship. I love games that use pianos such as a lot of the fire emblem games and this track Is just so good for something you here only once or twice in the game. what are some of your favorite instruments or types of music when it comes to games

@MorningRain
Hi.
Have you read my reply recently ?

@MorningRain Vocal tracks are indeed awesome, and I remember hearing that improvised piano song in Persona 5's Ark palace, it felt almost nostalgic. Like the end of a long journey (which it was). I'm reminded of "A Funeral of Flowers" when talking about piano in Fire Emblem music, because the normal theme is your usual orchestral soup but the thunder version is a piano solo which really heightens the emotion.

My favourite genre of game music.. that's hard. There's some rock songs that really hit home, like "The Airbuster" from Final Fantasy VII Remake. That's one of my all time favourites, it has so much emotion and the instrumentation is perfect.

In terms of battle themes I always like really solid percussion, so songs from Octopath Traveler fit that bill. Games that blend orchestral and rock, like of course all three Xenoblade titles, are awesome as well. There's a song that fits the orchestral/electronic mould I like as well, if you haven't played Final Fantasy XV you won't want to see this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr1qXXAxURM

Oof. Busy weekend. It does appear that @Anti-Matter is back! I'm mostly sticking to replies only on the forums for now, but I did enjoy your Yo-kai Watch drawings! You're very good at recreating the art style. Especially with Whisper.

@MarioLover92 I never owned the platforms the Mega Man Legends titles were on, though I briefly tried Mega Man 64/Mega Man Legends 1 via Project 64 on a friend's tablet in college. What little I played of it was good, but I wasn't able to get far before the game crashed. (Same with both the normal and Master Quest versions of Ocarina of Time, but at least in one of the two I made it most of the way through the Deku Tree before it crashed....)

Duly noted on X7. If I ever do continue the series, I'll make sure to give that one a hard pass lol.

@ThanosReXXX German Alf is really that bad huh? I'm sort of surprised you didn't also suggest a vat of acid sent into the far reaches of space for good measure....

As for The Apple Dumpling Gang: Parts of that movie are hit or miss with me, but the fire station bit still kills me. XD

"I ain't no Western movie nut" huh? XD To be fair, I have heard of some of those titles you mentioned. In fact, from a historical perspective, The Alamo has occasionally graced my radar. Same with The Last of the Mohicans. Truth be told, as I've thought about it, I think some of the Western type media I've watched has been more TV series than movies. One of my grandmothers often watches reruns. Series like Gunsmoke, Little House on the Prairie (This I don't dislike so much as they really spun off from the source material..."Based on" indeed), and The Virginian.

So yeah....It's possible I just haven't seen some of the right material that'll stick with me. I've seen a couple movies with the famous John Wayne in them. While I don't deny he was a very good actor, most of the material I've seen that features him just didn't hold my attention for long.
