What Vidya Games R UZ Play'N?

I played Slay the Princess. Kind of a choose your own adventure type thing. Seems like there's a load of different outcomes, but I feel like if I were to go back through it again, I'd just be trying to force alternate events by playing against character. Maybe I'll revisit it somewhere down the line.

I thought that game had been out a while but it occurs to me that it was probably a demo.

I finished Alan Wake II. Really excellent, although I'm not sure it dethrones their previous game Control. Either way, I'm looking forward to whatever it is Remedy decides to do next.

Fate Samurai/Remnant has a remarkable lack of pig-throwing.

Yeah, my interest in that one fell off a cliff when I realized Omega Force was the developer. No thank you.

I saw a random vid of someone I semi-watch playing Armello with his friends and got so annoyed by him playing poorly that I installed Steam so I could play my copy of the game. I haven't re-visited the multiplayer aspect, this game is several years old now, but I can't imagine this thing would have an active lobby anymore.

Kind of annoyed I have to re-unlock shit I already achieved in 2016 just because I'm using a different computer. But whatever.

Steam is supposed to store backups of your saves on their end, but not all games do for some reason, and some games that say they support it don't actually. I lost several years of progress on a certain game when I got a new PC, and that kind of killed my desire to stick with it.

Boo. That's dumb. Armello isn't even like a game with true progress. I'm just re-unlocking equipable accessories. Oh, well. Gives me something to do.

Not playing Persona 3 Reload but watching other folks play. That way I can fast-forward through the slog (stupid social links, grinding shit, and academics bs). Love the music in these games. The UI looks gorge. Don't see why they couldn't have included the cute girl protag in the remake tho'...

I just finished South Park: The Stick of Truth

Watching people play Unicorn Overlord. The gameplay looks super-interesting and I like the art overall (except for the inflato-titties) but I can see people getting turned off by the level of micro-managing. The story is meh and the title is puke. The supports all should've been voiced.

[jonhammstein]

I'm interested in Unicorn Overlord, but I've never been a strategy buff. I'd probably just set it to easy and steamroll everything, so I might as well wait for a sale.

From all of the streams I've been watching, Expert mode for difficulty is too easy. Don't know if you're a difficulty whore or not but the highest difficulty is locked behind beating the game once. I forget if that's on Expert specifically or if it'll unlock under other modes. One guy I'm semi-watching is trying to speed through all of Expert while another guy steamrolled the boss for a bad ending (I forget if he used cheats or not) and is doing his actual playthrough under the highest difficulty.

Otherwise, if you don't care, there's like three other modes under Expert to play under.

I've been on the fence about grabbing the third season pass for Guilty Gear Strive, but now that they've revealed the next character, I have no choice:
