Ridonkeyulou. It's also got a very cheap panel, blue tinge to it. Could be uncalibrated, but why show it like that? Was this a demo unit for NL to shill?
Do they need a reason? No. E3 was a necessary thing when conventions were relevant. They haven't been relevant in a decade and the pandemic just pushed the relevant needle even further to the non-relevant side. In person conventions are going to be a part of a Netflix YA horror series years from now. Like malls were to Stranger Things...
My wife isn't a gamer but the few times I've played with her made me question the strength of our marriage, and we've been together 30 years. She is extremely competitive and a self-proclaimed sore loser.
I don't know a single time I've been playing a game where I get a neat new weapon and thought to myself "Sh*t, I just wish this thing would break after I hit the next monster." One of the dumbest video game gimmicks I can think of.
A statistic I'd like to know is the total amount of combined playthroughs of this game by the entire world while we've been waiting on the successor. 9 digit number?
Ugh I'll have to wade through tons of months (years?) of articles before it comes state side.... Guess I'll just go back to playing Trails from Zero...
Any game that has dynamic dungeons, etc. Was supposed to love Dead Cells but literally couldn't make it past the first hour due to a bug. Never picked it back up.
To be fair, outside of the USA, even in Europe, the F-bomb isn't really that much of a bomb. Children friendly? No. But not the mortal sin we make it out to be here. The slang for a cigarette across the pond, would be something else in the US. Ahh, the art of languages.
I have zero replay-ability. I've tried. There are several games I wish I could MiB mind wipe and play again but just can't replay a game. It's always done and dusted, for me.
I put about 20 minutes into this game and put it back on the shelf. I know I'm probably missing out but there are so many games I want to play, and I am playing, that I was almost worried of getting sucked into a shooter.
Sorry Nintendo. Playing this on Steam Deck and this is this easily the most time I've spent playing on this system. Great game and an easy classic. Buy it if you have a Switch or a Steam Deck, it's a really great RPG, and begs to be played handheld.
Loving every bit of it. Couple of niggling things, and extremely minor. Some of the boss fights are way way harder than normal encounters. Hard to really grind, you can earn SP to upgrade your special attacks, but the game is stingy with SP points. Weapon upgrades are available but also limited. Finally, probably my ignorance, but getting stars to add additional special attacks seems random, or I didn't pay attention to the circumstances that make that happen.

Later in his career, Toad would give an unfortunate stand up comedy routine that would be remembered forever, for all the wrong reasons.

About six months after they decide they are ready to announce it and launches within a year of that. Glad I could help.
