How’s the performance in Disco Elysium now?Bought Dusk and still playing (and very much enjoying) Disco Elysium. I’ll be playing SMTV and maybe a few others. Not sure what I’ll be playing yet.

Frame rates drop in some areas but the game is rather slow paced to begin with so It doesn’t bother me as much. Also always save before you go into a door as the game crashes sometimes when I enter into indoor areas.How’s the performance in Disco Elysium now?
Hey dude, it's incredibly nice to be back, not gonna lie.Hey, good to have you back.
If only zakatana would return...
I’m playing pretty much only on Oled. The screen is big enough. Everything looks fine and the Text and ui are very readable.Speaking about Disco Elysium, has anyone tried to play it in portable mode on the Oled? Is the screen big enough to play comfortably?
That's good to year, I'll probably buy it for Christmas!I’m playing pretty much only on Oled. The screen is big enough. Everything looks fine and the Text and ui are very readable.
Danganropa collection is my final major purchase of the year. May grab some stuff on the digital Eshop BF sale tho
Oh it’s my entrance to the series too(actually I made a deal with myself to finish AA trilogy before hand if I wanted to get it).I’ve never played DR and being a huge AA fan I think I might enjoy it so I’m pretty sure I’ll grab chapter One at least, but what about that quirky boardgame releasing at the same time? Is it meant to be played after the trilogy I guess? Is it good?
Definitely play the main games first and leave the board game for last. While the board game is an AU from the main games it does include references to them and it is possible to figure out some spoilery stuff by reading too much into some bits of dialogue. Also, the relationships between the characters in the board game are mostly based on their interactions in the main games, so you’ll miss out on a lot of their background if you jump straight into the board game.I’ve never played DR and being a huge AA fan I think I might enjoy it so I’m pretty sure I’ll grab chapter One at least, but what about that quirky boardgame releasing at the same time?

You can skip the boardgame. The interactions in that game once included in the second game and it was silly as hell. It's a "fantasy setup" if none of the events in the game never happened. Something nice for those "shipper" people.I’ve never played DR and being a huge AA fan I think I might enjoy it so I’m pretty sure I’ll grab chapter One at least, but what about that quirky boardgame releasing at the same time?

I don't know if I'm the only one to do it but, when I buy a game on sale, it can take a litlte while (something like months or even years) before I actually play it.
I think I bought Murder by Numbers last year but I've started playing it only a few days ago and goddammit, I'm having a blast.
I've a soft spot for buddy cop stories and for 80's nostalgia + I love Ace Attorney and Picross, but even considering all these factors, I didn't knew that I would enjoy it so much. The characters are so endearing and the story is so entertaining that I feel almost annoyed when I have to solve a puzzle... and I really really really like Picross a lot. I've just completed the third case and I can't wait to continue playing, it's that good.
Thanks for making these threads, my backlog is ridiculous though so I need to not read them!
Thought I would recommend Dicey Dungeons for fans of Slay the Spire - almost mixed with yacht dice from 51 Worldwide Classics. Saying that though, I’m struggling to beat every chapter because of what I assume is the randomness and not my poor skills at playing the game. Any tips would be appreciated.
I tried Alba briefly a few months ago thanks to Apple Arcade and it seemed a special game. Sooner or later I wanna play it, I've just to decide between doing it on the Mac or on the Switch. What are the performances on the Nintendo console?I'm guilty of the same . I got Murder by Numbers in the last sale but haven't got around to playing it yet. I'll have to give it a go soon.
This weekend I've been playing Alba - A Wildlife Adventure with my kids. We're having a great time with it. It's by Ustwo, the makers of Monument Valley. It's a very different game, but with similarly high production values. It's a fairly simple game about exploring and taking photos with a lovely open feel. The unfolding narrative and interactions with NPCs are really poignant and fun, and the graphics and music are dreamy and evocative. It's like being on holiday! It reminds me a little bit of the early part of Zelda Wind Waker, innocently exploring Outset Island. A great one for playing with the kids.
I'm in exactly the same boat. Often buy eshop games on a whim and then don't play for ages. I too have been playing through Murder by Numbers and I'm loving it. I expected it to be like ace attorney but it isn't really. It has excellent characters and well written dialog and h the picross puzzles break up the visual novel elements nicely. I'm on the 4th case now and it's taken me about 20 hours so there's plenty of value too. Would definitely recommend.I don't know if I'm the only one to do it but, when I buy a game on sale, it can take a litlte while (something like months or even years) before I actually play it.

You need to investigate scenes in a fashion similar to the Ace Attorney games to find the puzzles, and the solved puzzles become evidence you can present to advance dialogue.Does Murder by Numbers have much in the way of interactivity or puzzle solving besides the Picross puzzles? I've gone back and forth on purchasing it for that reason. I should probably try some more Picross DS first and make sure Picross is my thing.

Both of these mechanics are very simple. There's a lot of story and the visual novel stuff is quite substantial, but doesn't really provide much in terms of interactivity. I would recommend making sure you care about Picross puzzles before diving in.
Just want to add I recommend starting with S3 or higher for Picross. S for sure and maybe S2 didn’t have the counter for counting squares which is super handy. I think S3 is the first one to have color picross too so you have all the modes to try. You can always go back and play the first two if you get hookedThanks all for the Murder by Numbers info. I'll be sure to check out regular Picross first, then.
One thing to add, the music by Masakazu Sugimori (of Phoenix Wright, Viewtiful Joe, Ghost Trick, etc. fame) is great. I think it's the first western project he has worked on.Truth be told, I'm a Picross fanatic and sometimes I had this feeling too, especially during the third case. That being said, I had this feeling mainly because the story and the characters are amazing and I was hooked!
Wow, I had no idea they were the same developers of Fall Guys. I guess my hope for a sequel is probably gone since they had a massive hit. Shame, it was a great game and I’d love to see them take a second shot at the concept.Despite its flaws I did enjoy Murder by Numbers a lot. Always appreciate a diverse cast like that. Hoping Mediatonic will make a sequel, but after Fall Guys blew up who knows if they’ll be dedicating any staff to other projects anymore.
Same here, this makes me incredibly sad ç_çWow, I had no idea they were the same developers of Fall Guys. I guess my hope for a sequel is probably gone since they had a massive hit. Shame, it was a great game and I’d love to see them take a second shot at the concept.
