Gifted my Bloodstained demo code to a friend (seeing as my laptop can't run it anyway). Got gifted One Finger Death Punch in return. The long journey to mastery starts here.
Still doing Fire Emblem Fates too, if a bit slowly lately.
And on non-videogame front I'm kind-of sort-of getting back into MtG.

Youtube doesn't do the game justice clearly, the backgrounds despite being a drab pirate ship have loads of color and almost have a painted look. My experience with youtube uploads is that the additional compression it does absolutely *murders* the quality, colors especially. I imagine this gets better if you're uplading from a higher quality sources than the 720p vids my PS4 outsputs but even so... no justice will be done. Edit: Well maybe I'm overstating things but yeah, things will look worse on YT.

Having run out of other distractions I'm finally putting time into Fire Emblem Fates (Birtright). Today ends with Hinoka and Kaden getting their S rank. Plan for tommorow: [x] Touch Fluffy Tail.

That made me wonder... there must've been platformers in 2.5D right? I think one of the older castlevanias was remade in that style. How did they handle the situation there? Was the phasing an issue there too?

Yeah if you go for a stationary PC then maybe, yeah. But if you want a laptop for whatever reason (I need one because a) space constraints and b) need it mobile a few times a year in optimistic variant), and price for getting one that can run modern-ish games are bonkers, at least here. The one I have here cost me around 3k PLN (something like four months of intensive saving at my current pay, if you want to compare 1 USD is around 3.8 PLN currently), was barely an upgrade over the last one, and is outdone by 1.6k PLN PS4 (2k if we count in the monitor). I imagine I'd have shell out 6k or more for something that could be called a proper gaming rig, I'd rather put that money elsewhere until I really need to replace it or until such a day that a stationary, cheaper PC is someting that would be worthwhile for me.

Ugh, what a time for my hard drive to be out of commission. Between this and the Yooka-Laylee Toy Box coming out, I'm gonna be missing out on a lot unless I get that hunk of junk fixed. I love the video, though! I know the feeling. Chance that my laptop will be capable of running the demo is the same as imp's chance of survival when meeting a berserk packin' Doomguy. Well, the "scarf" isn't really a scarf anyway, they're ribbons. Ribbons aren't exactly things that have weight. Technically all material "things" have weight. Even air #copletelymissingthepoint

Looks wonderful. I'm a bit bugged by the fact that Miriam flies through the platforms when going up and down but other than that looks wonderful. And the mistery remains: why did they avoided that first chest and the other one? No reason

I had actually picked up a blind box FF figure and was disappointed that it was the only character I didn't really know that much about, which was Balthier. Maybe I'll hold on to it and come to really like the character, sounds like I would from what I do know ;p All I know about Balthier is that the man knows how to introduce himself ;p PS. Pssst, Square! How about a good port of FFT for either PC or PS4 while you're at it? And by good I mean one that doesn't have Vita WoL slowdowns and isn't a lazy port of mobile version of WoL that dials home each time you play. PS2. Damn, that game had great soundtrack.

Looks to me like the UI takes cues from FF14 at least a bit. Anyhow I might not be the biggest FF fan in the world but I do loved FFT and enjoyed FFTA/FFTA2 despite their... lesser state compared to their predecessor. So Ivalice holds a special place in my heart and thus I was hoping an FF12 remake or remaster would happen so I could add that to my list of games played.
Edit: Also I recall hearing Balthier's suave voice and manner when seeing a FFT:WotL cutscene on youtube and that'd be worth the price of admission by itself.

It does look like a one, but being put in a "language ghetto" is not nice. Even wierder it's just that one platform from what I heard.

Just spreading some awareness - if by chance, you happen to want to buy Overwatch, want to get it for PS4, and are stationed in eastern europe (yeah I know, a rather specific set of circumstances but it does happen, even if it's unlikely to be the case on these here forums) then... don't. Apparently Blizzard went full retard and east eu PS4 version is limited to polish and russian languages. NO ENGLISH. And their reaction to people asking for english language is pretend not to see.

Honestly? Considering this is coming out on consoles? As nice as the teaser looks, I'd wait for reviews before touching this. Seriously, I'm not a console hater, not by a longshot, but that doesn't mean I'm unaware of problems they can have keeping up with graphics on modern titles. And the detail level in this vid looks like it could cause many PCs to choke. So for now my expectation is that it'll either a) not look as good as implied or b) have serious framerate issues unless Square managed to pull off Fox Engine (Fuck Konami) levels of technical voodoo.

I must say the marketing really screwed the pooch on this one. What teasers I watched in months prior to the release made me file the game under "DO NOT WANT"... most likely because they decided to focus on the shittier part of the game - i.e. the multiplayer - and somehow managed to make what little they shown of singleplayer look terrible (I think it's mostly how they over-emphasised glory kills and slowed down the action for some reason). If it wasn't for my friend stumbling into a singleplayer stream and then telling me that it looks better than it did in trailers, I'd probably continue to ignore DOOM 2016's existence. Thankfully that happened, and Jim Sterling's (thank God for Him) gameplay convinced me to risk my money... and I'm not regretting it thankfully.
Rip and Tear!

I just beat pontiff, while he wasn't too hard, I am just really used to the series and how to abuse the dodge roll's iframes. You've yet to meet the hardest boss of the game I cannot wait to see what they do with DLC though True that.

Just achieved this today. Guess I now get to rest a while after job well done, waiting for Fire Emblem Fates to hit in less than two weeks.

So Dark Souls 3. Anyone else here counting down days until it goes live? Surely I can't be the only hollow around here Wish the outrage over Namco's PR fail of a staggered release didn't occur but, eh, to hell with that. I can live with waiting a bit longer, don't care about the rest of the mess myself. The game is looking great, can't wait to play it - I even have the release week off (not intentionally, I swear!). In the meantime the best I can do is listen to some music to set the mood for me:

That slide. Small thing but for whatever reason seeing this classic Castlevania move almost made me squee. I'm glad to see Miriam in motion and it looks great. However is it just me or does it look a tad bit weird when she drops through platforms? I'm not sure exactly what it is but maybe it's due to her staying in the air for a sec before actually falling. Perhaps it's the fact that at the moment she seems to phase through the platforms on the way up or down? It kind of bugged me but I guess that'll change later on. *snip vids* It can't only be me thinking this right? So that's what the kick reminded me of. Damn, now I wish DMC3 had a PS4 port.
