Hah I have never seen an ad for them before. Good to know we had it right the whole time and weren't just being dickhead students

Not playing, but remembering. Probably a thread idea actually: "Games you wish were remade." I wish someone would remake Urban Chaos. A 1999 game with a lot of potential, but shit controls. Don't think I finished it. Only hired it one weekend or so, but find myself thinking about it once every so often. Have probably spoken about this before :p.

Also, Cloudpunk. It's pretty nice, there's foreshadowing that the whole city will be dead by morning, but in the meantime I'm just making deliveries and making friends.
Wow, what an amazing failure at first contact.

This thread, temporarily for this post, is now: "What games am I not playing that I want to be playing?" and that is Gartic Phone. If anyone here can make 8:30 GMT any day of the week (and perhaps upwards of 11 hours before on weekends), and can buzz me on Discord, we can make it happen, if only just once 
. Granted I'm not sure of my own availability in the coming weekends, busy month ahead for me with family birthdays, etc.

Can anyone remember the name of an old PS2 game with a boy going to a farm and an adventure, with a pink dangerous looking monster? I've played it once on the PS2 Demo Disc when I first got my PS2 console, but I've lost it and I haven't been able to remember the name of it ever since.

Currently have Gran Turismo 7 and Triangle Strategy going. Not too far into the latter yet. The former is beautiful, and the racing feels great. But the always-online requirement for single player is bullshit.

Started playing Kena. The controls are really clunky. I don't mind the gameplay clunkiness, but I'll be walking or running, and she'll all of a sudden stop. Sometimes it happens when I jump as well. Idk if it's my controller/system, or if it's just the game. Thankfully I like the game, so I'm willing to push through. It's really annoying though

I'm currently doing Dark Souls 3! I'm at the end game I think (just beat Oceiros). Not sure if I should do Bloodborne, Elden Ring, or Metroid Dread next...

So my housemate just bought the new xbox (dude was flat broke for most of his life but in the last couple of years got into a v lucrative career where he mostly earns money he doesn't know what to do with, but every now and then he splashes out, that's also how we got the ps5)
I was scrolling through the X pass games, stuck something on download but then saw he'd already downloaded another weird looking little game I'd mentioned wanting to play, so figured I'd try it while the other game was downloading.
That game was The Artful Escape and I played it solidly for 5 hours until completing it. (I did repeatedly check whether my housemate wanted a go on what is literally his xbox but I think he was enjoying watching the game!).
Anyway this is an absolute gem of a game. It looks a lot like Broken Age and has a bit of that feel, but also definitely owes a bit to Psychonauts. I can't really describe it other than "what if Bob Dylan died when he was 27 and his nephew was David Bowie."
It's also just a love letter to crafting your own identity and being who you want to be, leaving behind what you don't need. The way the gameplay reflects the journey is brilliant as well.
It's kind of a testament to this game that large chunks of it are essentially a basic platform game and I do not like platformers. Worse, its a platformer with ever so slightly janky controls, but the game is so mesmerising and cool that you stick with it anyway. It's also super forgiving, difficult gameplay isn't really the point here. If you fall off you just immediately return to where you fell.
Anyway watch the trailer and if like me you go "wait what??", and you have the opportunity to try it out, please do. Although maybe don't play it for 5 hours solid because this game is Loud and Colourful and I had a pretty bad headache by the end. Worth it though.

The Order :1886
Very interesting. It shapes up fairly generically, and then suddenly cuts off with the main conflict unresolved. I can see how a lot of people would have problems with it, but after some thought it ends up very interesting. Like, they do all the setup to heroically tear down the system and then go. 'No, you lose, the villain gets away with it and y'all have to flee.' Very unique.

I was playing my entire PS1 library on the Duckstation emulator today, mainly to document the resolutions each of my games are in so I know which Horizontal Sampling settings I should use for each game on my Retrotink 5X.

That's been on my to play list forever... it looks like exactly the kind of chill, nature-focused indie I like. Pretty sure I own it on steam too, I should finally play it!

I decided that the last game I’ll play in the States before moving is Breath of Fire IV on PS1. It’s got gorgeous sprites, a great world, and I’ve been meaning to get to it for forever. I’ll be leaving the PS1 and SNES and all of my other consoles at my house here, so I won’t be able to play them for some time. Anything on PC or on handhelds I can just play after I move.
