I really like to see a remaster of Dragon Quest 8

My granny wasn’t feeling well last week, so we postponed our Christmas party for this weekend. After the party, I’ll be able to play.

I’ve been recently playing Dark Souls: Remastered. It’s fun exploring new areas and fighting (or in most cases running away from) enemies. I just got to the Undead Church yesterday. I would like to make more progress in Sea of Stars this weekend as well.

Aside from gaming, I made a Backloggd account at the start of this calendar year! When the sales finish up Monday, I really want to pause buying new games and play what I have. It’s a fun way to revisit my library and play games I never touched yet.

Continuing Sonic Frontiers. Cleared out all maps on every island and am currently working on the Action Chain Challenges so I can get the spin dash. We’re having family over for a Christmas party tomorrow, but I’ll be able to do some shopping later this week. I’d like to grab some games this week while the Steam sale’s going on, particularly DOA 5 Last Round.

@dskatter This was literally how it went down with the Skullgirls debacle. Everyone against the censorship in that game was being called n**is and and gooners and the like. It was insane.

Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope and Sonic Frontiers on Steam, hoping to get all achievements in the latter.

On Switch, I started the original Shantae game (yes, the one on the Gameboy) yesterday. Just made it to Water Town and met Bolo.

Does this type of stuff really matter for a game like this? From what I’ve heard it was mostly a visual novel

Just repurchased Silksong on Switch because this game should not be only $20. Can’t wait for the new update!

I’m getting my wisdom teeth out on Monday, so I’ll likely be spending my recovery time gaming. I really want to pick up Clair Obscure while it’s on sale. I don’t know exactly what I’ll be playing, but I know that either Hollow Knight or Silksong will be in the mix for a casual revisit.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds finally went on sale on Steam, so I tried out the game last night with some Grand Prixs and Time Trials. For playing on the lowest speed for the former, I really enjoyed what I played so far! The real meat of the game for me will probably be online, though, so I can’t quite make a decision on whether or not the game is worth its full 70 usd price tag.

Aside from that, I’ll be doing some achievement hunting in River City Girls.

Continuing my Sea of Stars playthrough on Switch. I forgot how fun the combat in this game was! Seraii just joined my team, and I defeated Romaya.

On Steam, I just snagged the ultimate edition of KOF 15, Half Genie Hero, River City Girls 2 (with the Double Dragon DLC), and Absolum. I’ll be playing those as well.

Meh… let me know when Pac Man’s coming

@UltimateOtaku91 Well, you’re free to disagree with me, of course, but I personally think that is ridiculous. A remake of a game from 20+ years ago shouldn’t really count as an “original” game. It’s one reason why I think the Game Awards are a joke

@Oldstalk Or it was very reasonably priced on top of being an anticipated game to begin with.

@UltimateOtaku91 Tbf, that game is a remake, not a new game

@Tyranexx No problem! I don’t play RPGs nearly as much as I used to back in high school. I’m in college now and most of the RPGs I get into are on the shorter side, like Paper Mario: TTYD

I understand why E33 would be game of the year, but Silksong managed to cause both the Eshop AND Steam’s payment servers to crash.

I’d still be 100 percent cool with either game winning though. I’d like to play Clair Obscure, when I have the free time for it.

PS, why is the Mortal Kombat Collection nominated for best fighting? Aren’t those games like 20+ years old??

@Ralek85 Sonic fans: “Heh, that’s cute”

@Tyranexx I have the originals, but I’ve never gotten around to them just yet. Still, I’d recommend the OGs first, just so you know what you’re getting into in terms of lore. The remake is also much longer than its original, so the og would be better if you’re low on free time.

That’s awesome! Hopefully this could lead to the second, and even third game, getting more faithful translation jobs

Happy to see AiAi and Nights! Hopefully Beat or Amigo are in there somewhere

@ottoecamn Ninja Gaiden 4 does that, if that’s the game you were thinking of

Continuing my first, and hopefully only, Steel Soul run in Silksong. I also would like to start a new game in my backlog this weekend… maybe City of the Wolves or Guacamelee.

@nessisonett designed with gamers in mind (iyknk)

@TomSupreme Did you read the entire comment?

@ShadLink I would sign up for that in a heartbeat ngl. I mostly use online to play Mario Kart 8 back when I had NSO

@HammerGalladeBro I want to know roughly how many of those users play Mario Kart

@somnambulance No, we need a Marthsuo game next… wait—

@Pillowpants it may sound like a good deal until you learn about Delta

That is exciting to hear! Still need to get around to playing Risky’s Revolution, though…

@antlion You mean “if”, right?

Trying to get the Speed Completion achievement in Silksong. Currently in act 2 about 12 hours in.

@Samalik honestly them censoring stuff is a given at this point

@Lizuka The FeMC disrespect is crazy

I could see them putting in Joe Musashi to promote Art of Vengeance. I would like to try that game later this year

@Styledvinny79 Welcome to Game Freak, my friend! The bare minimum since 2019

Continuing with Silksong. I don’t know whether to beat the final boss and start a new 100 percent or speedrun playthrough, or collect everything I can to still try to get 100 percent.

I’ll also continue to grind Abyss Mode in Rivals of Aether. The only characters I have left to get to level 10 (outside of Workshop characters) are Clairen, Etalus, Ori, and Shovel Knight.

@KidSparta My favorite part of the series was when Ash and Isabelle yelled “These are our New Horizons” as they defeated Tom Nook using the power of their Pokémon

How would Nintendo be against AI if they’re “protecting their IP rights” by taking down fan games made by real people?

Why would I pay $70 for two emulated Wii games when I can emulate them myself?

I’ll definitely play more Silksong… I did “finish” the game, but I’m exploring a lot more to get into Act 3 and finding more bosses and stuff I missed. I’ll also try out the recent Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 rerelease on Steam.

I’m not surprised by this. Sonic isn’t anywhere near as popular in Japan as it is in the west.

@OorWullie I do like how this game looks, and I plan on trying it out eventually since I like Dotemu. That being said, I’m getting a little tired of every game (especially indies) trying to ride off of Balatro’s success and be a rougelite or have elements from them. Heck, the new Donkey Kong game now has a rougelike mode with its DLC!

I have nothing wrong with simple, straightforward arcade action like Shredder’s Revenge. Again, I’m excited to try this game, but I just feel like the indie games market is becoming really oversatirated with rougelikes. And this is coming from someone who likes Dead Cells, Enter the Gungeon, and especially Balatro

Silksong and Darkstalkers via Capcom FC 1

I played Bomb Rush Cyberfunk when it came out and enjoyed it a lot! I will be keeping my eyes on this one for sure.

@NinjaWaddleDee There FOMO practices and ridiculous pricing are very anti consumer, I’m angered how big companies like Sega, Falcom, and Wayforward are relying on them.

And this was all before they wrongfully fired Kara Lynne

“Limited Run Games”

Breaking news: fork found in kitchen

Silksong and grinding Abyss Mode in Rivals of Aether

@MathByThePixel you know, why does everything have to be a rougelike or have rougelike elements? It feels like that’s what a lot of indie studios are putting out these days…

@Vyacheslav333 if I recall correctly, you can play Dreamcast versions of some games like MvC2 and Vampire Savior on Fightcade… I may need to double check that. It’s been a while since I’ve used it bc of school and other games

@liljmoore Are there any modern equivalents to fighting games like that?
