it's tuned somewhat difficult from what I've seen of it, more difficult than the Castlevania games it's inspired by at least

gotta love content

presumably this will include their final pitch for the online service so if they were holding back any surprises for that, now's the time.

I decided this morning that the only excuse for terraria taking this long on switch is because it’s gonna have multiplayer on day oneIf that turns out to not be the case I will get mad
― Paleo Weltschmerz (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 5 September 2018 17:11 (five years ago) link
didn't the terraria dev spend 3 years on some major update/overhaul of the game and then unceremoniously cancel it recently? that's probably why. i don't see why it wouldn't have multiplayer though regardless

Having hit a great stopping point (for now) with Hollow Knight I'm going to go back to Doom. I'm worried I've totally forgotten how to play it, though, and the lag issues that hindered my experience on Switch might bug me even more following something as smooth as HK. And yet I've made all the progress with Doom thanks (I think) to gyro controls, and I'm worried that even if I bought it again for PS4 that the improved play will be hurt by the lack of gyro. I guess we'll see! At least it's pretty cheap on PS4 ...

enjoyed captain toad quite a bit. there's like 80 levels and at least half of them are little marvels of design that are really satisfying even when they're easy to complete.

this was almost certainly supposed to reveal in the Direct but Sony had it in their press conference this morning:

more jrpg rerelease news
Need a little #MondayMotivation? This should brighten up your day: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition launches on January 11th 2019 on PS4, XB1, PC Digital and Switch! Here’s a glimpse of a very special edition you’ll be able to lay your paws on. Stay tuned for more! pic.twitter.com/4unsmhtaII— Tales of... (@TalesofU) September 10, 2018

tales of games are anime action-rpgs with fighting-game-esque combat mechanics. most of them have 2 player local coop too which can be fun if you have a friend who wants to sit through a 40 hour jrpg with you
Vesperia is one of the more highly regarded ones in the series but Microsoft paid to make it an xbox360 exclusive in the US for some reason so a bunch of the usual jrpg audience missed it before now
― ciderpress, Monday, 10 September 2018 14:34 (five years ago) link
That’s the only one I played as I was Xbox only last gen. It was a beaut.

I have not played a single mainline final fantasy! 12 interests me most, I wanna do that much-derided programmable autobattle system
― faculty w1fe (silby), Friday, 14 September 2018 03:27 (five years ago) link
the gambit system is the best battle system in all FF games that are not FF Tactics games
― Paleo Weltschmerz (El Tomboto), Friday, 14 September 2018 04:34 (five years ago) link
have played all the mainline ones except 10-27 is a fascinating messlooking forward to 9 as I last played that about 15 years ago10 is v linear but has my fav turn based FF battle system, some really cool puzzle-y boss battles iirc12 has the best world and cast, gambits are built 4 code nerd linx

the Yoshi game looked way better than the last time we saw it, i like the presentation a lot more than woolly world. the way you see the artifice of the world from behind when flipping the stages in reverse is good stuff
