The Criterion Valis Collection was successfully kickstarted and the stretch goal for English versions was hit so I guess this will be coming west eventually

  1. how the hell are you calling this a collection while leaving out Valis IV
  2. why is it only the SCD versions and not any of the other versions where they exist (Valis I has a ton of ports and the original version was a computer game to begin with)
  3. you just can’t say shit like this

i didn’t even know about this :o

i wonder if english versions beig a stretch goal means they’ll be making new translations or something (since i think english versions of all of these already exist)(but maybe not on pce?)

The Dark Dream Magician Lord Bishoujo Jojo is going back in time and erasing bishoujo game history! They must be stopped before it’s too late and history is re-written!

Also, I’m not even sure I agree with calling Valis “bishoujo”, but whatever.

I tried to do research about my brain’s connection with Valis and Bishoujo and ran directly into Valis pornography so gave up.

shockingly, there are English versions of every console Valis game aside from the SCD versions of I and IV (and I guess the Famicom port of I). II and III even have have fully produced dubs

New Shining Force coming in 2022… for iOS and Android. Battle animations look nice.

I think the way games are defined/labeled is completely arbitrary and stupid (and only getting worse) and that’s what leads to these kinds of disagreements, but I feel like Valis is an action/platformer with just superficial bishoujo elements (you play as a pretty anime girl, there are other pretty anime girls, sometimes there’s nudity) so people at the time would give a shit about the game.

Like, Princess Maker, some Tokimeki Memorials, stuff like Kanon, etc. are things I’d consider straight-up bishoujo games.

But it’s ultimately all fucking pointless labeling these things so who gives a :rats:. Valis can be a bishoujo game, I ultimately have no dog or horse in this race. :man_shrugging:

cross play co op and deathmatch, 4 expansions, plus mods and quake 64 levels, motion aiming on switch, NIN music intact; this looks pretty comprehensive

playing dm on the built in matchmaking is a weird clash of generations; quakeworld with high pings but everyone is terrible + you always get someone who sounds like they’re on an aircraft carrier on voice chat

and it doesn’t respect the name you set in the console for some reason?
