Should have announced it earlier and then I would have bought rising on switch instead of playstation. Rising is a better fit for the switch and with the end game achievements playstation has no advantage to me.
@the_beaver The genre isn't called metroidvania, journalists call it that. it's actually an action adventure platformer with RPG elements. But that's a mouthful so everyone goes with metroidvania. it's not a real genre.
Good name. Looks like old school Mana somewhat upscaled. Probably perfect for the Switch. My most anticipated throwback RPG is still Sea of Stars though. Sacrifire looks tight also.
@Link-Hero Yeah bad voice acting is bad and you even acknowledge it by saying switch to another language but OK. Nice mental gymnastics with me saying I don't like voice acting because I can read faster so therefore I'm insulting every developer in every voice actor in the world. That's a stretch.. At least you're getting your exercise.
@Link-Hero Because I can read faster than them and it's really distracting. Kudos for being assumptive and lame at the end. You have obviously never had any etiquette.
I'm looking forward to this. I guess i didn't learn my lesson from triangle strategy, but this game was something I always wanted to play for years, so I can actually give a confident thumbs up to my nemesis SqueeniX for this.
@swoose FACTS. Voice acting doesn't belong in old school games. If you're gonna throw it back, throw it back all the way! don't butcher it with some crappy voice overs we're just going to turn off.
It looks awesome with a great team but that scenario writer worries me because those games were not great stories. I love the old school and I love that companies are making throwback games but they usually do not deliver on the story.
Yeah I'm gonna buy it you knew that already.
Highly doubtful they keep the project name, they are not as lazy as square.
I have a lot of artist friends who are doing the NFT thing so it's pretty much a natural curiosity for most of them at this point. He'll learn one way or another that most people don't enjoy that kind of kind of art ownership after all.
It's a fun breezy game. Sort of a whole side quest to the main game. It's great to squeeze an hour out of here and there when larger games get on Your nerves. Has in game achievements too!
Looks great, but I actually have Odin Sphere Leifthrasir in the BL, so... I'll come back for this later. Give it some time for a potential physical opportunity, perhaps.
@Moonsorrow999 right? Everybody gave the final fantasy 7 remake a pass and it was a game entirely made of padding, linear hallways and terrible fetch quests, but if another game does, it's horrible.
That sets up a weird kind of precedent. Something like it's OK when Triple A companies do it but indie companies need to always be innovative in pushing the envelope for their $15 companion game.
I don't usually like to get suckered for nostalgia but this time it doesn't look like I'll get suckered. I love the turtles and I love all the arcade games. Turtles in Time was my jam... and it looks like it will be again soon along with this!
It took them 3 years to do a remake in a throwback style? This is a Triple A company right? Indie developers can crank this stuff out like nothing maybe they need to hire some people from kemco to help them with the 2dhd games.
I'm looking forward to this but I'm prepared to be disappointed like everything SE has done in the last 2 decades.
Just nobody saves the world. I gave up on that turd that Is triangle strategy. I'm done with critic reviews of square games because none of them are honest.
Hi I'm a writer and public speaker and I've never made a mistake speaking or writing anything in my entire life so I just wanted you to feel bad for that typo
Okay now for the not sarcastic part: most exhilarating story from a JRPG for me in YEARS.
Seems like a pretty cool idea. Sort of like a book club. I have a huge backlog myself though so unless you grab a game that's on my chopping block I really can't.
Good. Playing Radiant Historia should wash the filth of chrono cross outCHA. It's a great game. Pretty sure I got everything except 2 rare drops before I finally put it down.

Re: Review: Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - Tedious Side Quests Mar This Prequel's Metroidvania Charm
I love how everybody acts like boring ass fetch quests aren't an RPG standard at this point.
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes "Undergoing A Technical Investigation" For Switch
I have a nasty habit of truncating things and all I saw was don't buy this on switch if you want to play the other game.
So yay. Trophies!

Re: Live A Live Switch Remake Took "Three Years" To Make, Says Original Director
It took them 3 years to do a remake in a throwback style? This is a Triple A company right? Indie developers can crank this stuff out like nothing maybe they need to hire some people from kemco to help them with the 2dhd games.
I'm looking forward to this but I'm prepared to be disappointed like everything SE has done in the last 2 decades.
Re: Memory Pak: Making New Memories With Earthbound In 2022
@kurtasbestos This is why I hate when they do retro reviews it's like yeah we were there already
Re: Memory Pak: Making New Memories With Earthbound In 2022
I mean that's because undertale pretty much ripped off of Earthbound and spurred the clone movement.

Re: Backlog Club: Slay The Spire Part Two - A Tale Of Frustration, Obsession, And Poison

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 30th)
I've been trying to get in the triangle strategy for 2 weeks so I don't think it's gonna happen. Talk about overrated.
Nobody saves the world, but on playstation because I like trophies
