romancing saga 2 is great & absolutely worth playing even if you hate phones and tablets and shitty localisations
The Witcher and The Witcher 2 are on sale. Are either of them worth playing? I have not played 3 and probably won’t for a bit.
I think the sb-consensus is that Witcher 2 is great (some even prefer it to 3) but the first is easily skippable. Personally I couldn’t make it through the first, but I loved 2 and didn’t feel I was missing anything.

2 is more or less explicitly a side story in the witcher chronology (to the extent that there is such a chronology for a bunch of games that are basically a fan fiction continuation of some old fantasy novels); there are a lot more returning characters from the first game (which I also never made it through despite loving the second) in the third. you still don’t miss anything by starting with 2.
It is great. It is real good. Listen to me when I say you should not play it. It will break your heart and frustrate you in very real very deep ways that make it impossible to recommend. I love it!
Seriously do not play it.
Fatal Frame II has really great animation!

are you playing it in First Person on an OXbox?
i owned romancing saga ps2 back before i fell in love w/ western rpgs and i dunno if i sold it or what but whatever i did w/ it was perhaps the biggest mistake of my vidcon lifestyle
No, but I would be if I could be. Im playing it on PS3. I was thinking while I played how well it would work in first person.
I just solved a puzzle playing with some dolls.
1001 Spikes is basically just an unceasing string of "gotcha"s that seems like it was built from the ground up for Twitch streamers to scream at in front of an audience. Thanks but no

I would recommend the Witcher 2 wholeheartedly it’s a fun game. Witcher 1 is something part of me wants to go back and play because it sounds like there’s a buch of cool things tucked away in that game. But totally play the Witcher 2 now and someday go to the thrived. They are among the best RPGs of the last few years.

I mean, that’s exactly what 1000 Spikes was, but that game came out before Twitch was even around.

I didn’t play it per se, but I finally watched a yourtub video of the phantom pain prologue after ignoring it for the past year and yeesh it’s really brutal and boring
Took a break from DS2 SotFS after finishing most of the main content with the exception of the final boss, but now got back into it with the DLCs and holy shit, they’re pretty difficult.
Hour 112 of New Vegas and as I approach the level cap, I mostly like meeting new people and seeing places and it’s become really therapeutic.
Had a rockin’ session of Pathfinder tonight where we dinked around for hours trying to avoid major plot points the group was scared of
Then I cast Swarm of Fangs on big baddie in the middle a summoning
Stuff happens, a gate to hell opens
We leap through the gate with the dead body of big bad, and while trying to loot the body accidentally put one extra-dimensional space inside another, causing a giant vortex that conveniently ends up slaughtering hundreds of demons trying to get through the portal and we jump back and forth trying to figure out what the fuck we’re doing
Along the way we accidentally start a religion then usher all of its followers to their deaths
The DM planned literally none of these proceedings, we should have all died multiple times but managed to blunder through ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A+++ session

In Animal Crossing today I went on a magical dream journey to a town where the ground is covered in Hatsune Mikus and Lightnings. The Walrus dude would only let me copy some dumb cat drawing though, so I guess my town flag will remain a fly covered poop for a while yet

Playing Devil May Cry 1, died to the scorpion boss in the third stage for about an hour and had to take a break. I always struggle when in a boss fight against two enemies at the same time and let me tell you, the camera is the more vicious of the two.

Yeah, what’s with the scorpion boss? Nothing at all demands anything near that sort of precision out of the game and then ‘whoops, we thought you totally understood how to play, have at it’.
