Decided to play Visions of Mana, since its premise is promising. And a friend told me she really loved it.

I didn't expect it to look so...cheap. I know it's a budget game (albeit one sold at full price, because of course it is), but it feels more like it was made by Idea Fuck than the once-monarch of JRPGs. Not to mention that I'm playing on PC, so I need to deal with the beauty of an inconsistent framerate and a loud fan. Why is this game requiring 16GB of RAM? I know Square has always had a complex from not being a western dev, but copying the western trend of not optimizing the game in any way is not endearing. It should be 8, and no more.

Curious. If so, that's a shame. The PS5 version looks and performs rather nicely...

The game itself does look very lovely, most of the time. It's just that the non-FMV cutscenes look terrible, and those were what bothered me the most because this is a story-focused game.

Played some more Clair Obscur today and continued my 2nd playthrough of Sakura Wars so that i can finally play Sakura Wars 2 soon

Been making my way through Daxter for the PSP. Kinda over it, very samey-samey, but fine for PSP platforming.

making my way downtown in metaphor refantastico
i finished replaying proving grounds of the mad overlord for the 48th time so i figured it was time to play something new to me
insanely staggeringly lovely 2d artwork

 

[rattabletapping]

Went back and played Tales of destiny again (it's been a long time since I played it) and I was giddy when I saw Mary.
I also played a little bit of Mario kart double dash too

pokemon tcg pocket lol
i havent been playing many actual games recently

 

[The Missing Link]

Armored Core and Armored Core Project Phantasma. Just replying arena matches with different ACs

 

[snes9x]

Played some Robocop: Rogue City but it kept crashing so I played more of the PS1 remake of Tales of Phantasia, but the area I'm at rn is a slog. Dunno if I'll bother seeing it to the end but as a JRPG fan I'd like to say I at least beat one Tales game, as mid as I find them.

And, as always, more Puyo Puyo 2.

Have you tried Tales of the Abyss yet? not the biggest Tales fan myself but that one is great! :3

 

[snes9x]

I've not! Maybe I'll put that on the list. Is the 3DS port any good?

the 3DS version is pretty good, yeah! i would recommend it.

I installed Windows XP on an old core2 quad that was laying around the place and now I'm playing Warcraft 3 and Need for Speed Porsche on it. I'm impressed how light that system is, it can run 1080p YouTube videos at 2x speed with just 1gb of DDR2 ram and the integrated graphics

 

[Tonberry]

Been feeling a bit down in the dumps the past days, so I've been playing WoW, I guess it's my comfort game.
I've been playing on my Warlock a bunch and I really like it right now. Finally finished the quest chain to get my Class Mount, and made a really cool transmog I'm happy with.

Now to finish the last 6 levels so that I can try the new raid and zone.

Currently playing Super Mario 64 Plus. So far, I collected around 35 stars so far.

 

[Amakuchi]

I recently finished Demon's Souls (PS3) again today, I got all the trophies on RPCS3 (that 60fps patch is incredible) but wanted to do it again "legit" on original hardware. Still a great experience for me to this day!

 

[Graves Ruinwalker]

Completing Metal Max Returns right now .

What an underrated game and one that just shot up to be one of my favourite RPGs right now .

 

[Hourai]

Got more progress done in Super Metroid. Thinking I'm getting more in the mindset of the game, since I realized I could use power bombs to blow up the tube in the Motavia transfer between Brimstar and Brimstar's elevator.

I beat Disruptor on the PS1. It's the first game Insomniac and they would proceed to work on Spyro afterwards. Disruptor itself is a pretty middling FPS (or, in the terminology of the day, "DOOM clone") with the added hook of psionic powers. It's only four hours and would have made for a decent rental back in '96, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really into goofy live-action FMV cutscenes. Had fun streaming it for friends though.

I played 'Kowai Shashin' for the ps1, it's pretty much just spooky spot it. Wouldn't say it was very good. The target placements on the ghost is complete trash, which was the worst part. If it wasn’t so bad I would have actually enjoyed it for all the wackiness

for this one I had to put the curser on the license plate.

It really bugs me how all the photos are irl images, but the MC is a CG anime girl.

When fighting the ghosts, you just do the same combo every time, well there is only like 4 (but I only saw the 4th once) ghost designs for the battles

 

[snes9x]

Shining Force 1 has been going back and forth between "tedious goddamn slog"/"kinda cute and fun". I think what really gets my goat is how every other map places you so far away from the enemy you have to spend the first few minutes moving your troops across the map before you see any action. The miss rate also gets frustrating, as does getting screwed on stat growth à la Fire Emblem. But dammit, the game has soul.

 

[meimei]

aside from a liquor store cashier's feelings, i played soul eater battle res today. fire game. huge shoutout to genderless pink haired lab children.
