Kills me that they spammed 10 pages full of 'woke' because Aliens had a lead protagonist that is female.

Suikoden V is my favorite of all of the Suikodens and I hate the treatment it gets.

Why?

It is well regarded among those who play it.

Konami's botched handling of the series is the only reason it had so small an uptake.

All are good. Don't listen to the people who say 3 and 4 are bad. The different perspectives in 3 are bit redundant. It could have been told differently. Still a good game. 4 is really for people who like sailing games. Story was good though. 4 a character who reminded me of Kate Mulgrew' s Janeway.. It also has Mitsuba. She's very petite but uses a giant greatsword and swings it like it takes no effort at all. I liked to use her in my party because it's a bit silly

4's story is terrible. It was all over the place, badly paced, badly written and essentially incomplete.

A few CRPGS.

I only ask this because The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition is FREE this week. COMPLETELY UTTERLY FREE!!!

https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-outer-worlds-spacers-choice-edition

You don't have to pay for it this week. Not a single Euro, Peso, or Yen. If you click on the game, and order the game, you get the game, and it's yours, (at least until they pull the game from their servers, or shut down their platform altogether, whichever comes first). Did I mention it's free?

Free shit is still shit.

Anyway, I don't really care about Epic store vs Steam, I'll take free games, even if the games are shit.

Stupid really, as the hype train was choo chooing quite comfortably.

Trust crapcom to stick a spanner in the wheel and bitch at the fans about it tho.

I generally assume that anyone that seems to die by falling in movies/TV will be revealed to be alive later if somebody decides it'll help the story.

9/10 that someone is wrong.

No it doesn't. The driver sees none of that money. The delivery fee is just a bullshit "because we can" fee.

Same as all those 'admin fees', 'service charges', 'unique font on our menu charges', 'profit margins charges', 'booking fees', 'handling fees', 'printing fees (for online tickets lmao)', and so on.

Customers are mugs, but they pay it and people defend it, so it works.

He backed down immediately

Looks exactly like we all thought he would.

Yeah, they're great.

It's the ones with shitty parents that you have to suffer through though.

my boy luca blight says no

I was so disappointed that they basically only alluded to his reasons in Suikoden 2, the expanded media makes him really... not sympathetic, but you can see his cause as one of a rampage of revenge and it's not really a surprise.

For those who didn't know;

Basically, when he was a child, the City State and Highland (his country) agree to peace after a long war that Highland basically came out the better for. The mayor of one of the City-States hires bandits that ambushes his carriage with mum and dad in it. The guards are killed, and daddy runs off (to get help). The bandits then proceed to gang rape his mum, whilst forcing him to watch. Eventually they get rescued, mum is pregnant and dies in childbirth. His rape-product sister grows up to be the spitting image of his mother, and she's always kind to him, which infuriates him because he hates what she is and has a constant reminder of who she looks like (yet he still bends the ear to her at times).

Hence, he's so consumed with bloodlust vs the City-State, detests his father, hates anything he views as cowardly (i.e. fucking everyone), and became that strong and maniacal so he could stand on his own two feet, and destroy the world of all who basically wronged him. And in a way it worked, he needed to be ambushed, shot with hundreds of arrows and he was still fucking going. He was a psycho, and he knew it and he never hid from that, he never begged for sympathy, he never brought up his past or anything, he just sat on that trauma and hatred and let it fester vs his father and the City-state. He's still human though, he shows surprising admiration and restraint to those with ambition and 'big cojones' and seems to have some empathy to those who suffered betrayal etc, but he just cannot comprehend why you wouldn't invest in the sweet joy of revenge and wanton slaughter, he's just fucked in the head in a lot of ways.

Not all of that is in the game though, you get some allusions to it, and you get the carriage being ambushed as backstory but they don't really get into the details.

Still, an iconic character, his whole 'die pig' routine is brilliant, his brute force is phenomenal and he is easily one of the best boss fights ever ~ you need a literal fucking army of ambushes and you still barely take him down and he goes out laughing his head off.

can somebody summarize KH's story in a few lines?

it really sounds like such a huge clusterfuck of unequaled proportions

Disney and Square give writing powers to Beinhoff and Weiss of the Season 8 era.

Only the first game was good imo

Fair, they just never caught the magic again in the sequels tbh.

Zikten posted...

I doubt it. The game is bombing. The studio will be shut down and there will be no sequel

Trending Very Positive reviews, top sellers and popular on Steam mind.

BG3 is god-tier gaming, but definitely not everyone's thing.

It isn't even god-tier in CRPGs, lol, what you on? :P
