I recently started replaying Sonic Advanced 2. What an infuriating game that is. It all falls downhill after ice paradise. I Like Techno base but Sky Canyon and Egg Utopia are miserable stages.

Fans of the second game will tell you these stages are alright and that people just ignore the trick system but thats just copium IMO. There are some seriously questionable design decisions at play for those stages. Even if people do ignore the trick system i don't think it matters much because im not even a fan of how its designed in the first place.

Lastly don't get me started on the bosses, theyre all TERRIBLE

When I was a kid, shortly after playing Final Fantasy VII for the first time, I went to my local Electronics Boutique and bought VIII, used. I played it (not loving it as much, but still having a wonderful time) until the end of Disc 1, at the climactic boss battle. The disc had a scratch on it, and I couldn't progress.

About a week ago I finally ponied up and bought the remaster on Steam, so: today, after almost 20 years, I got to Disc 2 of Final Fantasy VIII.

Played a bit of Culdcept (PS2)

This is a thread to discuss games you've recently discovered and want to share with others, and a place to post about the various games you've been getting into recently.

As a gamer, I find myself discovering hidden gems on a regular occasion, and tried to think back to whether there's a thread for people to share what they've been playing lately. Rather than merely posting them in profile posts, I decided to make a thread specifically for people who enjoy finding interesting games, new and old, and want to share their experience with the rest of the community about their newfound hidden gems, obscure ROMs, or modern releases.

So, have you discovered any cool games lately?

After playing some Shadowgate 64, I did some research on the original NES trilogy of adventures: Deja vu, Uninvited and Shadowgate. And I learned it's called the MacVenture Series and it has a fourth game never released on the NES

Quantum Redshift

A very underrated Sci-fi Racer with great and fastpaced gameplay , great racing-tracks and with unintentionally funny animations combined with trash-talking of the most arrogant and flattest kind ever but the coolest part is that every character speaks their own language and even tge countdown is in every language spoken written . The soundtracks are really nice Trance/techno that is rather smooth and action-packed when it needs too.

Sword World SFC

This is actually japanese Baldurs Gate which is glorious and its in the world of "Record of Lodoss-war" . And I like Record of Lodoss-war alot (Peak fantasy anime besides the Wizardry OVA) .
The game can be complicated because it truly put all rules of the japanese Tabletop RPG game into this game and you even need the Rulesbook to understand its mechanics . While it sounds cumbersome , i think its actually awesome ! Now i have a great TTRPG book in a PDF-format and the Snes game to play it . Even with its 0.99b version of the translation , its very playable and awesome . Maybe still more on basic side but this game is such a badass rpg gem . I hope they finish the translations and work on the second games translation .

I don't have many game to play in my list anymore so I spend my gaming time with discovering and playing random games from random platforms. This game was in my "to check out" list for a while just because it is a Square Enix game and from the surface it seemed "cool" but TBH it was barely a decent game. This is the game I would say "good decision" if it was cancelled:

The game is developed very badly and in a classic lazy Japanese game style of its era very common in anime games and it is like a Dynasty Warriors games. In each level they throw you into an area and either beat the enemies around or just walk to the destination. You earn skill points to upgrade your character and all but the game has no fun gameplay whatsoever. You just spam attack no matter what it comes and that is it. The game is very bad for they didn't even bother assigning the right analog stick for camera movement, to see in front of yourself you gotta press a button to make camera show you from your behind to reset its POV it is that stupid. At least when an enemy is near you can lock the camera to it. Pretty much a low-quality rubbish moment here. Almost as if the game was going to have a fixed camera but they made a last-minute decision lol.

As for story, I don't care about stories in games but this game shit into it further. Pretty much a classic "we were living peacefully and oh no monsters came" shit with "sci-fi" twist and it can only make sense to a person who understand Japan's culture beyond anime and shit. Simple "white" vs "black", "good vs white" shit, "planet trying to kill us" and "we all gotta survive". That is like a sci-fi version of Japanese history. On top of generic of generic your character is a kid who have special powers and his whole existence is looking for his sister. They had no idea what "story" to even write. Pretty much stupid characters with stupid designs coming and talk for hours by using generic of generic shit to say and there is less of a game. It was better off a movie at this point. Instead of generic "magic fantasy world" they replaced laws of physics with "digital shit" and called it a day. If you like Digimon and Megaman it can be your shit for how theme is relevant, otherwise despite I like sci-fi too much low quality shit made me puke while hair design and fashion statement of characters are enough to puke for already lol.

Verdict: If the game were alive I would say "death penalty", if you see the same dudes even work at the McDonald's you wanna eat at just don't eat there because clearly they can't even clean toilet. What there is only to link in the game is that the font they used is cool and that's all about it. -9000/10. Give me back my hours dammit!!! lolol
