Man, I just know Elder Scrolls 6 is going to suck balls, and likely no amount of modding will be able to fix it.
And on top of that I bet that Skyrim STILL will have no high king

Man Skyrim was in it's base form in the end, for the most part, just a whole lot of nothing. (No satisfying resolutions, no real meaningful actions you could take against the Blades, or the Thalmor. Hell one of the main villain's of that game, Elenwyn just locks herself behind a door at the end that no key can open and no lockpick can pick) At least there are ways to make it fun and mostly playable.

Oddly feeling nostalgic bout suda51 games cause as much as i shit on the fandom and the oddness of gameplay mechanics i do admire the 200s and 90s unorthodox creativity of his older games back in the day.

Been seeing those Kemco rpg's on both steam and gog and keep wondering if any of them are worth trying out.
(They did nes and gbc ports of old macventure games a long time ago, shadowgate, uninvited and deja vu, tried them out a few years ago and they were great)

Oddly nostalgic for a game i haven't played yet am getting into another developers series now with summon night damn i just love the 90s and 2000s era of gaming so much.

The newer Pokemon games using paid DLC to provide a complete experience is actually even worse than the old approach of simply releasing an enhanced version of the same game a couple of years later. This might be hard for certain consoomers to grasp, but you don't actually *have to* buy a game the moment it launches, especially if you know an enhanced version is eventually coming, you can just wait for that and thus enjoy the superior experience when the new version comes out, you don't NEED to buy 1 game for the price of 2. However, if you want to experience the DLC you have to shell out 30 bucks ON TOP OF the 60 bucks you already paid for an unfinished, shit game that wasn't worth that price in the first place. And the same problem remains even if you wait several years before buying the latest mainline Pokemon release.

Now, if Gen 8 and Gen 9 hadn't been so terrible, I might have actually found merit in the DLC system, but given how bad those games were, the only shot they had at becoming worthwhile would have been enhanced versions that AT LEAST represented a Platinum-tier upgrade.

Kemco is good classical JRPG fun. Do not worry about it much.

I may pick up one or 2 of them soon.
Seems a new shiren the wanderer (The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island) is coming to pc in about 15 hours. (Well it was on switch before but now will have a pc version) if anyone is interested. (Unless they screwed it up somehow, with localization or something, but I would hope they would not screw up something so simple as Shiren the wanderer)

Spike Chunsoft did a good job on Shiren The Wanderer. They are solid on translation as is Inti Creates(they used to have a problem but they replaced the Translator with a better one) which is why I usually recommend Card-En-Ciel etc.

Yeah, they seem ok so far from what I have seen actually. Speaking of Spike Chunsoft, I still need to finish Way of the samurai 4 sometime, its pretty cool from what I have played so far. ("Night Crawling" with pretty much any girl in the game, and can beat random guards in a fight if one gets after you and then they will join your dojo :D ) And I do remember seeing an older version of one of the gunvolt games where in the english version they tried to say one of the bosses was "bigender" or something really stupid. Then I found out they fixed that with the steam version so that is good.

Funny enough Way Of The Samurai as a series is not censored at all. They even include Fanservice, Shota and some Lewd scenes that were in the Japanese version in the Western version on the platforms and like you mentioned, they fixed problems with the translation as a whole.

Good Grief that game awards show was a farce, Cant even remember that much from it and I just got done watching it, the few things That were even remotely ok off the top of my head was the steam chat shitting all over it, one of the people they brought out making what seemed like an anti-woke speech out of nowhere(that had to raise some eyebrows if any of them noticed), The flute guy, and the announcement of a NEW OKAMI. (Please, PLEASE don't fuck it up) THEN for their BIG final announcement for the year of a new game, "Intergalactic" GOOD GRIEF WHAT SLOP!
Shaved head lesbo(another man with boobs) and then I saw it was by Naughy Dog. So Neil Cuckmann (Then it all made sense) And they also announced a new Onimusha (Please do not fuck that up either)

 

[s8n]

why did you watch it? Are you stupid? You care what video games Rolling Stone, NPR, and Pride want you to play? This is the fucking judges panel for that show

I thought that only two kinds of people watched the game awards: actual literal 70 iq and below retards, and people who get their video game news from the LA Times

 

[Gridlock]

To see how bad and stupid it was, to make fun of it and to see the chat just take a massive shit all over it. (Only saw the last half hour but that was more than enough.)
I don't care what anyone in the industry or corporate world wants me to play. Never have.

In news and gaming discussion actually worth talking about, I hope that Tokyo Clanpool getting a gog release means we can still maybe one day get pc versions of Moero Crystal H and Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates. I have no idea why Valve/Steam seem to be waging a Jihad against anime dungeon crawlers and always ban them or force them to have to use offsite patch's and do their damndest to hide said patches existence.

We also need PC versions of the uncensored switch versions of Mugen Souls, and Mugen Souls Z.

This also applies to modern gaming and games journalism as well

And another one that applies to modern gaming and this dei bullshit

And also
