Re: Backlog 2024

I finally broke down and made myself play some Genshin. Took a hard internal shove, but it was fun! The potion shop event is cuter than I thought it would be, still pretty basic, but fun. Gotta go back and finish that up before its gone, maybe tomorrow. I also had 100 standard wishes saved up, and g...

Re: Backlog 2024

It's for the monies, 100%. I'm even guilty of befriending newbies just so they'll use my characters and net me some extra dosh. As someone who's dedicated most of her endgame to building characters to completion, it's expensive AF. One second I'll have millions of credits, and the next they're gone...

Re: Backlog 2024

Man, it's kind of amazing how much early game fun in one of these types of games is dependent on limitations. In my case Honkai Star Rail, but I think the same applies to any game with a bunch of characters or options. I got Yanqing on beginner banner, very grateful. He and Bailu are the only standa...

Re: Backlog 2024

Does Tsuyukusa mean something in Japanese? Is it the name of a real place or something? Cuz not only is it the name of a town in Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, it's also the name of a fish type in Tales of Arise. Specifically, you can catch the Tsuyukusa Mackerel. Whelp. That lead me down a pleas...

Re: Backlog 2024

I think I'd only ever suggest anyone trying a gacha game if you like enough of the characters to just...get what you get, or it gives as many freebies as Star Rail does. I've started to believe that gacha accounts have some sort of inherent luck stat attached to them... My luck in Star Rail is just....

Re: Backlog 2024

ZZZ is having yet another beta test instead of releasing. I know, I know, delayed game better than rushed one - BUT I WANNA PLAY. LET ME IN! *RATTLES CAGE* Why not sign up? Even if you have to play on PC for a bit, could be a change of pace. And hey, you have good enough luck to actually get in! --...

Re: Backlog 2024

Been a couple of weeks since I've played much, but I figure now is a good time to pop in. I'm trying to make more time to put into my creative work, so I'm not playing anything on full work days right now. Star Rail livestream was fun this morning. I love hearing devs chat about their work. This fel...

Re: Backlog 2024

Welcome back, AloneInTheDark! :) Glad to see you've been enjoying some games in the meantime. -- Kinda been playing a mishmash of things lately. Melatonin is helping, but I'm still fairly exhausted so I still don't have any energy for twitchy action things, so rather than go back to Celeste I've bee...

Re: Backlog 2024

What is the very OLDEST game on your backlog? Interesting topic! Rooting around on Steam... The longest lived game on my backlog appears to be Ni no Kuni 2 . Steam says I last played it in 2019... The computer I had then had a lemon graphics card, it was doing some weird artifacting thing I spent 2...

Re: New and tentative game announcements (V2)

So...if you're like me and you get your Pokemon news from Youtubers, there was a Pokemon direct today. The only big news for me: a new Pokemon Legends is coming. https://youtu.be/6Qi4COrQ7aA?si=eEfNKu46lC3R96ak The extra interesting bit, is at the end the trailer says "simultaneous release in 2...

Re: Backlog 2024

Today was window washing day, so I kept things chill for my game time. In my case that meant a Sandrock binge. :) I've mostly been trying to save up a bunch of money, putting off story progression. It's interesting what things are story gated and what aren't. (Some plants don't even show up until yo...

Re: Most-anticipated games of 2024

Was kinda hoping a few people would post before me...and remind me of some things, because I'm sure there's a bunch I've forgotten. For now, here we go. :lol: Release dates are also the minimum standard for hype for me, so I don't have much. Elden Ring's DLC: Shadow of the Erdtree is releasing in Ju...

Re: Backlog 2024

Ah, ok. This term applies to all reviews, not just video ones? It sounds like it applies to any 'review', though a few of the reviewers claimed these weren't real 'reviews' just 'first impressions' since they only got to play a few hours of a game that's about 40 hours long. Review embargos tend to...

Re: Backlog 2024

Bandle Tale released today. It's on my wishlist and quite a few reviews and videos have already hit YouTube. (I suspect that they sent out a bunch of advance copies to well-known 'cozy game' content creators/streamers and put a...what are they called? Publication ban? On posting about it until toda...

Re: New and tentative game announcements (V2)

Wasn't gonna bother with the partner showcase, ended up watching Arlo's discussion video of it so I could also see the Shadow of the Erdtree trailer reaction. For as old as the lightbulb potato (I mean Switch) is, it's getting some good games! Hopefully Monster Hunter Stories getting a rerelease bod...
