Yeah, kinda makes sense right? I first played FC in like 2015 but when I realized how long the series was I dropped it. Then in covid with all the time in the world it was a great time to pick it back up. Tbh I actually started with cold steel 1 and when SPOILER happened at the end of it, it blew my mind and I knew I had to start from the beginning. Such a good series...

I played the trails first chapter during the first weeks of COVID. And a few months later I had completed the other 8 80+ hour games in their entirety. The plot in each game really is interesting, they revamp the combat enough in each game to keep things interesting, and the reactivity of in game characters is awesome. One reason it took me so long to beat each game is because after almost any plot point in the story happens, every single NPC on the map gets new dialogue reacting to it. Running back and forth talking to everyone gets you more insight to the story and you might pick up some hidden quests too.

These games really are incredible and the fact that they all tie into each other makes everyone feel alive and important to the story. Definitely check them out!

Have a little faith in humanity? If it's a 19 year old working through college that's basically their whole 4 year tuition and them some in that area

I think the only handhelds that are more comfortable than the GBA are the ones that are way bigger. If you look at the rg351 lineup or like the retroid 5 mini they're all basically the same.

I think since everyone was raving over the SP variant the GBA one will do well too

This looks incredible, and I cannot wait to spend money on it and have it be a completely unplayable buggy mess

Do they need to outshine bg3? Releasing a crpg based on their characters and world I'm sure would do well enough with their audience. I'm imagining just pillars of eternity 2 with a critical role skin.

Nintendo has been against them before any real self destruction had started from the community though. In 2013 the melee community raised $95k for breast cancer research, which led to melee being picked up for evo 2013. Nintendo then tried to shut down the live stream of the tournament, and then shutdown the whole melee event for reasons known only to Nintendo.

Is that not a sale? It'll be even cheaper next Christmas too.

MF's be loving fusion frenzy

What'd you like about veilguard? Were you a big fan of the series before? I want to buy it but the changes from the first one put a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Idk, I bought a 4k 240 hz oled monitor for $300 off for black Friday, the lowest price it's ever been. I think deals are still out there.

It's probably just something GoG does, since we have it in the states too.

I mean, it's not just Americans, it's the whole world. EA, Nintendo, Sony, Riot, Nexon, Tencent, and basically every other major gaming corporation are part of the ESA, who lobbied to kill this exemption. If left to their own devices, corporations will never do anything that could hurt their bottom line.

As long as you can see it's not pokemon lol

What were you doing for the majority of those 30 hours? Most likely resource gathering, building your base, optimizing pal usage, etc... Basically the only similarity is that you throw spheres at creatures. There's no gyms, no turn based gameplay, no trading, no evolution, and not even really trainer battles, just some unique encounters.

I've seen a few different ones, although I haven't seen one specifically for PC games. I've seen Etsy shops like this one and websites like this one for mini versions.

Well the people playing melee today aren't doing it for the 4 player all items on free for all mode. Most people who play fighting games enjoy the competitive aspect, in which the two are pretty different.

You really don't see the competitive differences between the two? Lol

My uncle randomly bought legacy of Goku 2 for me when it came out; I was a bit too young to fully beat it so I remember him helping me out with the fights with cell. Buus fury is the one I dumped a ton of time into; I remember being blown away that you could fly around the map. A lot of time was spent on gamefaqs trying to figure out how to get more zeni and level up my characters. Just incredible games, I've been wanting to replay them too! Still have my og copy of buus fury which I'm so happy about.
