Lollipop Chainsaw remake isn’t going to be censored or fucked with, although they are going to have to replace some of the music because of licensing issues.

lolwtf, of all the games to remaster… why that one?

Well, even from a Japanese company, I'll believe the claims of no censorship when I see them.

The global collective illuminati decided on it by majority vote - it just narrowly beat out both XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Mirror's Edge.

Alternatively, and much less probable, a bunch of the people who worked on the original game noticed that it was really only available for PS3 and Xbox 360 and pitched the idea of them bringing it to modern platforms and the reason they chose Lollipop Chainsaw instead of any other game was because that was the game they made. There's no way that could be true, though.

I guess because it's one of the last major Suda51 games that still hasn't yet seen a release on anything modern

speaking of Suda51
Still waiting for a translation of the ps2 version of Flower, Sun and Rain, or a release in modern consoles
I know the DS version is translated but It looks worse visually(for obvious reasons). I mean, if they bothered to remaster The Silver Case and its sequel, might as well remaster this one too

Anyone recommend any older, decent retro RPGs worth emulating on my daily train ride? Can run stuff on my phone up to the N64/PS1 generation or so. Looking for anything with a mildly interesting story. Trying to avoid nostalgia based grindfests with mediocre stories like some of the earlier Dragon Quest games.

I played Secret of Mana / FF7 / Chrono Trigger a few years ago and have no desire to revisit those again. I remember FF8 being weird and having some sort of school level you had to grind through -- hated it. Never played FF9 or 6. Earthbound was highly recommended but couldn't get into it, seems like something you had to grow up with. Anything a little more obscure worth looking at?

It's more of a Resident Evil game than an RPG but Parasite Eve 2 has a really cool story. Much better than any standard jrpg imo.

Anyone here into Project Reality/Squad? Just saw this trailer for what is promising to essentially be Project Reality: BF3.

I'm curious to see how it ends up. I have the bad feeling though it'll just be a watered-down Squad (which some people argue is already watered-down from Project Reality: BF2).

Ff9 is pretty fun as far as I remember. I did not like ff8. Ff6 is pretty good, but ff5 or the first final fantasy have always been my favorites.

Lufia 2 for the snes is pretty awesome. I only played it for the first time five years ago or so, but ever since I've wished there were other jrpgs with dungeons like lufia 2's dungeons. All the dungeons have a few Zelda style puzzles in them that go a long way to improving the typical jrpg dungeon format. It also has a roguelike style optional random dungeon sidequest thing that's pretty awesome.

I want LR to keep their grubby little shit covered fingers out of the Japanese market. I don't want more Japanese titles with English going to them. I like buying them nice and cheap from Amazon.jp

Off topic but I love the cover art for this one. I know it screams early 2000’s, but you never see cover art of video games like this anymore. It reminds me of the many good wallpaper that one would see if someone did a vaporwave mixtape that has music about 90’s Tokyo, Japan.

First time I’ve ever heard of this game, too.

When I was a kid to about my late teens I absolutely loved JRPGs and played a ton of them. However, when I reached adulthood I fell out with the genre and basically haven't played a single one but the odd nostalgic one from childhood in about a decade.

Recently I was playing Fortune Street via Parsec with some people from the game's Discord and we were dicussing Dragon Quest (Fortune Street is like advanced monopoly with Dragon Quest & Mario characters FYI) while playing and about how the characters are less recognizable than the Mario ones, and which DQ games we had played. Afterwards I got the urge to play some Dragon Quest because of it. I've completed only 2 of the games while putting significant time into several others, with Dragon Quest VII being one of my middle school favorites that is to this day unmatched in pure playtime and content by most JRPGs. One I didn't complete was Dragon Quest III for NES which I emulated on my PSP in-between classes in my first year of college. I got pretty far, but ultimately never finished it so I decided to play it.

I decided to play the SNES remake now that it has a full English translation, sweet-spot 16 bit graphics and more content compared to it's NES predecessor. I gotta say, it's interesting that playing an all female team is optimal for min-maxing... they et the sexy personality (a mechanic that effects stat growth) which gives +70% with all stat gains over the neutral 100% when most personalties give at most +40% over base, with many giving a penalty to overall stat growth for specialization... the best males can get is one with +50% above base but the bonus all goes to luck, the worst stat by far. There is also a lot of female only armor that is like the best mid-to-endgame armor including one special piece that changes the overworld sprite to wear a bikini with each individual female class having a unique sprite. Enix gotta kinda horny with this one.

Not too much to say about the gameplay, it's a satisfying basic JRPG. Very limited selection of bosses but the few there are pretty gloves off and the added bonus boss has the patented DQ system where you can re-fight and have to do it in less turns each encounter to get more rewards. Towards the end of the game I realized the emulator could speed up game time like 5-10x and this cut down on grinding tedium so much I am actually interested in playing more JRPGs again.

I'd say Dragon Quest III on SNES is worthwhile if you like the core JRPG formula. Not a lot of gimmicks, just build your party with the classes you want and fight monsters for EXP and gold! Sometimes you don't need more than the basics... adding lots of systems can be nice but there is a chillness to the classic JRPGs before they all needed a unique gimmick.

CD Projekt stock is worth a quarter of what it was before Cyberpunk 2077 released​

Literally all I know about Cyberpunk 2077:
  • Launched on PS4 and Xbox One when they had no business running on those whatsoever
  • Very high system requirements that made the game run like total ass on midrange PCs that could reasonably play anything else new, on medium settings
  • So many bugs, it brought Crowbcat back to life after over a year's absence
  • Trannies paraded it around for a few minutes because of the whole ambiguous "body type" thing at character creation in place of "male or female?", and how you could give either sex an uncensored penis, and then adjust that penis
  • Choosing to play as a woman immediately brought you to a screen with your character topless, which should have made for hilarious compilations of streamers panicking because tiddies but I never saw one
  • Heckin' Wholesome 100 Keanu Chungus; Keanu Reeves is in it and he said "YOU'RE BREATHTAKING" at a heckler
The funny thing is, I never actually heard if the game was any good or not. Just a bunch of culture war degeneracy, and how buggy it was. It was the biggest game in late 2020, and the internet seemed to care about everything but the actual game itself. But I guess if it actually got sufficiently patched and had something worth playing, I'd have heard about it by now. But, uh, nope. I haven't even thought about Cyberpunk in ages now.

It's like a game devised to be a pump-and-dump aimed at Redditors: overhype the hell out of it, make it as woke as possible, and then have a non-offensive celebrity that nerds like come out and do meme shit. The game doesn't matter past the character creator, just omit the sexes and put in penis options! Then sell it for full price, alongside a complete assortment of collector's editions and merchandise, and rake in the cash.

thx Soyny

Btw I always found it funny that GBO2 was never mentioned whenever people were speaking about ps4 exclusives
6-msgbo2_zaku-flipper.jpg

Not that it matters now, since it was already ported to pc(didn't receive a full release yet, they're working on it but people already played it on pc with the beta tests)
It's available on ps5 too
