Lurker > I_Abibde

Temperatures where I am dropped from almost 70° F down to below 32° F ... in a single day. All of the trees started blooming too early because of the warm spell, and now all the flowers are going to die. *grumbles* But it is a good day to stay inside and catch up on VNs.

Or get sucked into Streets of Rogue (Steam). That one caught my eye immediately. Difficult game to describe.

Looks like the Kickstarter for the new Grisaia game, Phantom Trigger, is under way. Sekai Project has got to be loving this business by now.

I don't like shorts all that much either, but Galko-chan is my favorite short.

Seconding this recommendation. Galko-chan is genuinely funny, and it gets a lot done in its running time. (And if you like cute girls, so much the better.)

On episode 5 now, and it may very well be the greatest thing I have ever seen.

What did I tell you? Haha. Kintaro is the greatest anime protag-kun of all time. Of all time.

*sees a Caeda figure*

Cute! 'Tis a shame that the Heroes players think so little of her.

....

Unrelated, but has anybody seen Rhydon lately? He has not been around.

My heart is sad...

This is why the Re;Birth version adds the Holy Sword ending. The Conquest ending messed with a lot of fans who played the original PS3 version.

Super Robot Wars V has arrived. And it is good. Relatively small roster of series, but it has a number of obscure picks (e.g. the Crossbone Gundam manga), plus old favorites that have never been in HD before (e.g. Getter Robo Armageddon). I picked the male protagonist (Soji), and he has a ton of personality. Big improvement. Best aspect of the game thus far: Yamato 2199 is the centerpiece of the plot, and you get the Yamato as your flagship. Epic. Only disappointment is that there is a lot of plot centered around Mars, but no Tobikage this time. Unfortunate.

Apologies for the silence here. I have had almost nothing to report. Granted, the Switch released at midnight, but I am going to hold off until it has a library of games that is more than a new Zelda. Another release that almost escaped my attention (because I helped Kickstart it a good while ago) is Chrono Clock, a VN on Steam (and Nutaku, though the Steam version is not as censored as the developers originally thought it was going to be, so good for them). Plus more RPG Maker games, but those are always happening.

Alas, the sun has set upon the first topic. But this one remains!

In terms of how it plays, Final Fantasy V is possibly my favorite game in that entire series, and I am particularly fond of the GBA version. The translation manages to be fun. Highly recommended.

Handshakers might be suffering in the ratings because people keep comparing it unfavorably to K, which is by the same studio (and in the same style).

Gaiden (also called FE2) used to be the black sheep of the Fire Emblem series, and then Sacred Stones revisited several of its design choices (class choice, monsters, etc.) to good effect. Class choice, in particular, made a comeback in Awakening and Fates. Looking forward to seeing what Echoes does with Gaiden and its mechanics.

It's supposed to release as the complete edition on there.

Good. That means I do not have to feel bad about waiting for it. Last Disgaea I pre-ordered and bought at release was D4.

Still plowing through Berserk and the Band of the Hawk. Noticing that it is like Fate / Extella in that it is very heavy on story for this type of game, and it has a ton of anime footage (from the Golden Age movies, thus far) to go with that.

I haven't read Questionable Content in years..... don't even recognize anyone in that strip.

You might say that your knowledge of its content is ... questionable.

I will see myself out.

Started on Disgaea 5 doods.

That is the one game in the series I do not have (yet). Interested to hear your opinion of it after you have had a chance to grind through it.

Had to take a sick day today (minor stomach bug), so I spent a good deal of time in Fire Emblem Heroes. Cleared Chapter 9-5 on Normal, but it is obvious that this is not the end of the story.

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk, despite the silliness of the title (there is no one named "Berserk" in Berserk), is a blast. Classic Musou series game play, but they amped up the violence to the point that you end up plowing through the battles in what almost looks like a tornado of helmets, limbs, and rubble. It is glorious. The back of the box states that the game covers the Black Swordsman and Golden Age arcs, so there is every reason to expect a sequel.
