Tell that to Vampire Survivors

@KBuckley27 Because they want to sell the new Pokemon over the holidays

When I tried the demo recently, the signal stability was fine, but there was this screen-door like effect of grime and dust over the visuals… and actually it worked quite well with the content matter. The demo is way to short though, I barely got to the first zombie.

@Kiwi_Unlimited Because Alucard is absolutely one of the best characters in the entire series: the internal dilemma with his familial ties and the love of his human mother; along with owning some useful vampire powers makes him so versatile to play and be. His incredible animation sees him gliding about like a gazelle while reigning all hell on his enemies. He fits with the aesthetic/audio of the SotN castle so well too.

That’s why SotN is so legendary; all the separate parts work together. And it all centers on Alucard. It is my third favorite videogame ever.

That’s not to take anything away from the Belmonts but they just would not make as much sense as the lead in SotN.

@Drew250 Sonic Heroes was awesome

Two Worlds on Xbox 360. There’s something just cathartic about finding armors and stacking them to make a more powerful set. Yeah it makes no sense and the rest of the game is a broken, cheesy mess (except Harold Faltermeyer’s awesome songs), but I think it’s a really cool progression mechanic.

I still have my promotional T-shirt that says “Yeah, I like to kill” and I met the producer at Pax 2010 and he was so passionate about the upcoming sequel.

@Funneefox Says the person with a questionable Tails avatar

@BloodNinja It’s a power that saves the kinectic states previously recorded while the power was first activated, and then it rewinds the states on second activation.

From what I can tell by the trailers and the known gameplay patents

@AtlanteanMan There were 7 tears around that mysterious figure. I’m guessing there will be 7 main dungeons this time. They definitely emphasized that part of the trailer.

@UmbreonsPapa Whatever the “tears” are there’s seven of them around that figure. They are shaped like tears so it’s pretty safe to assume that’s what the title is referencing.

@KingMike Ashens is still my favorite YouTuber 😀

I thought pre-orders already opened for this? Or was that only the special black edition

@Pandy-the-Panda Whoa if the sliders thing is true, that’s a game changer for the series. If we can control the nuances of his speed it’ll make all the difference compared to past titles like SA & SA 2

@Baler Totally agree, and this looks like just more of the same.

Waiting for steep discount

@Krambo42 It relied heavily on spamming monsters. Yeah it got old and repetitive

@RubyCarbuncle Yup Sega needs to get off their asses and make a new one

I will wait for a steep sale but I’m a sucker for nostalgic FPS experiences (Ion Fury is an excellent halfway experiment) , and though I never played this, I still want to experience it at least once.

I wouldn’t mind playing William Shatner’s Tekwar again either

Don’t sleep on Grandia collection for $20: two fantastic JRPGs for their time. Grandia’s engine still impresses today with 3D camera movement and scaling sprites. It also features full voice acting (not much of it good) and awesome music by Langrisser alum Noriyuki Iwadare

One of the worst visually designed videogame mascots ever, imho. But at least they captured the action of a race here.

Wow guess I should play Mechinarium soon; I’ve had it for ages but never booted it

Thanks for all the feedback, guys, it’s swung me over to “wait for sale” territory

So it’s like Returnal… in pog-form

@ImmaWario You mean ‘rings’

@SteamEngenius The Archer class is not useless

@OorWullie I see what you did there

@RubyCarbuncle The grass is way too high in contrast compared to the rest of the scene. Yeah it hurts my eyes with the unbalance

@Dr_Corndog Maybe this will kick Nintendo in the butt to make one

@bimmy-lee He should work for The Onion

@DK-Fan Some of it is funny in a snarky way (I really liked the Frosty the Snowman reference) but it’s like I can’t take anything they say in the review seriously

@MatthewYoung That’s really interesting you picked Ys1&2 as your too choice; most people find it too simplistic. There is a certain charm to the ram-the-butt gameplay though. Also some really good music, remade well for that version

@Rovas still not available in the West

@Serpenterror What? It already is an RPG haven. There’s tons of Kemco RPGs 😜

@MatthewYoung Did you play Felghana yet

@DjinnFighter Yup it’s still my favorite Ys game, but Lachrymose of Dana comes close.

They really improved almost everything gameplay and story wise from the original Ys III; that said I still prefer the PCE version soundtrack over the Felghana one

@AnorakJimi Can’t it be both?

In all seriousness, I think it looks kick-ass, but I was hoping it was more like Warioland 3 (use enemy curses against them) than 4. Still Backing it though.

@Lolcat Castlevania Lords of Shadow was legit. I don’t care that it threw the previous canon out the window, it was expertly designed and executed as a self-contained story. It’s probably my third or fourth favorite in the series

I would love Mercury Steam to make more Castlevania but it’s unlikely after the underwhelming sales of LoS2, and their recent success with Metroid Dread

@Abeedo Clarence was unpopular?

Hopefully that backhanded quote will get him to speak up more about his time there, if he’s still alive.

I would love to know more about his process creating Castlevania and how it felt to learn that Castlevania III, one of the all time greatest games on the NES / Famicom, didn’t sell well enough. Konami poured their heart into that game.

Looks super interesting, and I dig the theme of making beauty out of ruin. Thanks for the heads up on this!

Thanks for the review. Wait for a sale it is.

@Fizza I also recommend the Hidden Object genre, which has elements of Point-and-Click, too. These games are laidback and have a hint reveal system if you need it. They also usually have beautiful art. Anything published by Artifax Mundi, which are usually on sale. I pick them up for about $2.

However the Point-and-Click genre is definitely the more obscure, but also the more fun to solve because of it. You get these “Aha!” moments and start to understand how the designers’ minds function; which helps solve future puzzles.

It’s disappointing the characters play the same, according to the NL review. No replayability 🙁 For a 7-hour $50 game😭

I’ll wait to pick it up on sale digitally

@Maxz There’s a patent for the tricks they used to do that

@John_Deacon I think it was more about offering folders in a stable way; they didn’t want to slow down the front end (because it’s so fast), so they must have figured that out

@Screen Mmm… pulpy!

@TheBigK Good call; great idea!

@rushiosan Yeah, after seeing what Super Nintendo games look like on Switch OLED… and then what they look like on 3DS’ much inferior resolution…

Yeah, no thanks

Back on topic:

I’m not sure they still are, but the Monster Hunter games were on steep discounts in the US. We’re talking 3 Ultimate for less than $6!

Day one for me

@RubyCarbuncle Pokémon Perywinkle and Puce

@Psycho-Werekitsune Same. I was about 80 hours before I went to the second area. I freaking love this game.

@Specter_of-the_OLED We need Darksouls 2 and 3 on Switch first

I think this looks great and I’m all for even more tributes to Streets, because it is that legendary.

This looks great

@kkslider5552000 I actually think Lords of Shadow 1 is still their masterpiece. Phenomenal first try with such a venerable series. Amazing art direction and depth.

@RudeAnimat0r You probably just don’t like the format of Metroid 2?

@Avol Whoa, what game breaking glitches? Would be good to know to try to avoid them.
