Hard to believe we are now in the second half of March, and this thread. This year is flying.

halfway through the year already

 

[EvilChameleon]

Last month people were all "I can't believe the Switch 2 has been delayed to March 2025, that's 13 months away!".
Well, now it's 12.

 

[Plum]

OK, so regarding Final Fantasy VII Rebirth:

Holy shit what a game. Posted my thoughts in the 2024 Completed Games thread if you care to read them.

Now I can move on to other stuff. Likely shorter, simpler stuff because I don't think I can stomach another 83-hour epic right now.

 

[chocolate_supra]

I’m still waiting for the thread’s boss fight

It's gonna be:

this joke is really only for @Raccoon, nobody else is gonna get it

 

[Raccoon]

oh I quite like this

 

[Legion of Primes]

These sinus headaches I’ve been getting are killing my current interest in ff7 rebirth. Making me rather play something else.

I haven’t had a real chance to play all week and today I just stared at the home menu and just closed out. I just didn’t feel like playing it today.

 

[palemire]

I’m still waiting for the thread’s boss fight

Thread's dead, baby. Thread's dead.

damn, was the boss battle that hard?

You ever replay a game from your childhood and, to your horror, have to realise that it didn't age well at all?

So many times
Some memories should definitely stay memories. Loads of Commodore 64 games come to mind as well as early NES games.

Replaying Gex 2 was a traumatic experience

 

[Stilt Village]

Replaying Gex 2 was a traumatic experience

like being trapped in Boy George's pants

Just remembered replaying Double Dragon II recently and I used to be great but the way controls change when you change your stance is mind boggling nowadays. It was a deception playing that again.

 

[Mr_No_U]

people playing games during childhood is the reason why we're in this situation

 

[Suswave]

the situation where we’re shitposting on a video game forum?

fair point, no comeback

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

Side Order is like if somebody took the bones and muscles of Splatoon plus the sinews of Portal, mashed them into the shape of Hades, and made each limb look like a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild shrine

I still can’t get over how much fun it is to play

I am super interested to see how you feel about this one once you reach credits. I love how you're describing the vibes here, and as someone who really likes Side Order I cannot wait for more discussion on it.

I’ve reached the credits as of today! Thoroughly enjoyed!

Spoiler

still have to do all the other weapons to get the deep lore but had a great time!

 

[Mr_No_U]

 

[chocolate_supra]

oh no

 

[Previously on Lost]

Just 100%'d Bully Scholarship Edition on my Steam Deck with around 24 hours of playtime. I loved it. This was my first time playing through and I regret not playing it sooner.
Game is hard-locked at 30fps but other than that it runs and controls great on the deck, zero crashes.

 

[SammyJ9]

oh no

He looks pretty deflated

 

[EvilChameleon]

That display also looks on the verge of collapse.

 

[TheQuietone]

The moment you find out how a game mechanic works about 75% through the game and missed a lot missable content because of time sensitive story beats locking it out.

ah, you're playing Xenoblade huh?

 

[TheQuietone]

Nope. Star Ocean 2 remake but similar issue but I didn't know you had to press a button for things to appear on a map.

 

[Yamanoi]

I think it is time for a replay. Redownloading on Switch.

YESSSSS

Was your first playthrough before or after the big optimization update?

 

[Suswave]

y’all what the fuck

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley fucking rules

game of the year

game of all time

I am standing up and cheering at 1am about this fucking game

 

[Yamanoi]

Before optimization once on Switch Lite and once on my PC. Now I'm checking how it runs on Switch and Steam Deck to decide.

Well then, that's enough to add it to my eShop wishlist.

Ooooooh man they fixed the Switch version. Like I seriously don't get why it released in the state it did because how it runs now is the way it shoulda been the whole time. High framerate, buttery smooth, no more game engine chugging during battles, it's fixed. Really.

 

[Mekanos]

Now that I’m replaying Chrono Trigger maybe I should play Chrono Cross

After the other 20 RPGs in my backlog perhaps

 

[Suswave]

Did you see this from 2022?

hey fami remind me to watch this in the morning, looks thrilling

 

[Suswave]

oh no

seems our favorite mustachioed menace is neither brave nor bold enough to headline Plumber Mario: Showtime!

simply can’t bake worth a shit

leaving Peach to pick up the slack yet again…

Peach: Mario, could you maybe help with the baking this time?

Mario: uhhhhh *just fucking dies*

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

Mario: uhhhhh *just fucking dies*

He's not baking because he's busy helping put with the stew. Not taking Mario Slander at 3 AM!!!!!!!

 

[chocolate_supra]

Not taking Mario Slander at 3 AM!!!!!!!

Kay, should I come back around 5?

 

[Yamanoi]

hey fami remind me to watch this in the morning, looks thrilling

I will if you pay me $70

Spoiler

JK you can use that to buy yourself your favorite beverage that hopefully has some coffee and post about it in the coffee thread and then make @Aurc watch Seinfeld

 

[Raccoon]

if only odyssey were half this charming....

 

[meatbag]

Replay of Chrono Trigger all wrapped up. It's still freaking great.

Is that... is that mushroom soup

Toad looks at the soup and wonders, is the soup made out of him or is he made out of soup. He screams for he does not know.

Exactly what I had in mind

 

[D36]

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The PS2 version, anyway, never played the GBA version.

Oh man. I remember playing the GBA game as a kid. My first and last encounter with the series

 

[em]

Yeah, most of them, honestly. I don't think any NES games really hold up outside of SMB3, and only a handful on SNES. Final Fantasy II/IVj is possibly the one that's fallen furthest in my estimation.

I think what's really interesting, though, is that some games that are 30+ years old are still so good: the aforementioned SMB3, of course, but also Super Metroid and SMW.

 

[7threst]

Me playing TotK, building Frankenstein contraptions to finish temples and then looking up on Youtube how you are supposed to built something to finish them: "I now see why I failed math at high school"

 

[Mandos]

Been playing EDF 2025 as my chill out game. Biggest foe grinding an early level on hardest for better weapons isn’t the tougher enemies but darned invincible civilians running in front of my splash rocket launcher and blowing me up DX

Just 100%'d Bully Scholarship Edition on my Steam Deck with around 24 hours of playtime. I loved it. This was my first time playing through and I regret not playing it sooner.
Game is hard-locked at 30fps but other than that it runs and controls great on the deck, zero crashes.

It’s on sale on Xbox right now, played bits years ago but never did the full game maybe I should grab it

I think it is time for a replay. Redownloading on Switch.

It’s been in my backlog since it hit a good sale… maybe I should bump it up my list
