STEAM | September 2017 - Summer Ys Ending

The only Falcom game I haven't finished that's available on Steam right now is Ys The Ark of Napishtim, that one felt weak to play after Oath and Orgins.

I'm still happy playing Sonic Mania on Steam. In the worst case I'll just have to find the inevitable crack in the future if they never patch the DRM out. My only other option was to get it on PS4 which still feels less future proof with Sony's attitude to backwards compatibility lately.

You get both, obviously.

No, seriously... get both.
The Xseed Falcom games take priority for me, so I'm defintely getting Seven and Zwei.

I planned on getting either Ys VIII or Tokyo Xanadu depening on release/price and how I'm doing with the other games, but considering I've just upgraded from intern to full employee I might as well splurge a little this year :p

I'd love to get all these Falcom games day 1 but money is a concern unfortunately
I could get VIII but it'd get in the way of me getting SEVEN and Zwei



I have all of them but I didn't beat Gurumin or Xanadu yet haha I got near the end on both but just stopped playing
And technically I didn't beat Cold Steel on Steam
Xanadu Nexts ending stretch is fantastic. Get on it.

Eh I don't see the problem. They're orcs so they can't really get that waifu money.

As for the hip hop it's just Tolkien. He might've "created" a lot of the ideas in fantasy we see today but I don't think that means it can't have any modern ideas put into say it's advertising.

It'd be different if your first raid on a fortress started playing hip hop.
 

A lack of respect for the source materials?
Tone deaf trailers?
Microtransactions and lootboxes for a singleplayer game?
Always online?

Take all my money.

In all seriousness, the free weekend of the previous game did show me a lof the qualities the game had, so I can understand why people are looking forward to the sequel. But such crap as listed above pushes me as a "maybe" customer of the hype train.

The acclaim the first game got baffled me (hint: your nemesis system means sweet f*ck all if your game is pathetically easy).

How people are hyped for this baffles me even more.

And dinosaurs are just lizards with feathers.

Dinosaurs have more in common with present-day birds than they do with reptiles.
Look at the pubic bone, turned backward, like a bird's.
Look at the vertebrae, full of air sacs and hollows, just like a bird's.
And even the word 'raptor' means 'bird of prey'.

So ... you are saying that birds are lizards with feathers as well?

What's far more scary and likely is that they make a new "modern" client that almost everyone including GAF loves and that I find annoying since it lacks some of the functionality the current desktop client (that I'm pretty happy with) has.

BPM won't change much, so there's that. Also, jumplists or steam:// shortcuts should be enough for whatever you want to do with Steam. ;)

I'm not quite sure why a Tolkien game is being held in this high regard. It's fantasy/adventure/action. The game already has more preorders than the original and Arkhangelsk knight so WBs marketing must be working and it's definitely not geared at anyone who'd get upset by some hip hop.
 
^^^ Only one of that group I've played is Fabric. Bought it off Chrono sometime back. It's not bad, has a sort of Portal-like feel to it, but a bit jankier.

Nah, just means you still have some quality gaming time in store for you!

Yeah, that's pretty much it! I know Falcom games are awesome, so I bought a few over the years. However, only recently I got in the mood to play them. I'm about to finish Trails FC and I'm loving it, so I'll probably go through Ys Origin next.
