The NZA

Noah Falstein on Return to Monkey Island: "What Ron and Dave have done I fully expect will be the subject of Masters and PhD theses for years to come" thoughts? i just want a release date already

leaks of tomorrows book already online, fuck i need to catch up already

that's the spirit man! i gotta give control another go sometime, the physics seemed cool also post your thoughts in a disco elysium thread when you can, i know i'm gonna wanna get back to that one at some point...need more planescape level writing in my life

so it'd occurred to me & i'd seen talk online about how the pandemic changed some folks' gaming habits - for my part, the early sray-at-home parts were perfect for animal crossing at the time, but beyond big stuff like FFVIIR, i largely stopped finishing games -mind you, its fine to play things casually, but i'd been buying too many games (especially with all the niche release in series i adore last year) and not committing to seeing any of them through so i spent this last month or two working on that, and knocked out 5 games in the last week off alone! here goes shenmue 3 - wrote about it in the thread lost judgement - RGG studios only getting better as they go. sitting on the kaito DLC for a bit, looking forward to it! no more heroes 3 - fun as usual, though not the series' best. i still love the random genre switchups stranger things 3 - this was a fun isomeric throwback, perfect timing with the new season too the great ace attorney chronicles - part 1: this picked up steam at case 3 and i'm glad i stayed around. working on part 2 at work where i can! turnip boy commits tax evasion - went in blind on gamepass title for the name alone, got a fun zelda clone paprium - really impressive genesis beat-em-up i'd been sitting on, got me back in the mood for the genre TMNT shredders revenge - beat it on opening night (thanks gamepass) then again co-op with @spiffytee firewatch - this was a neat suspense game, had a good time with @tewibewi metroid dread - dread is right, i dropped this last year after too many emmis. so glad i came back, really satisfying endgame guardians of the galaxy - damn, avengers bombing really kept a lotta folks from playing the best single player comic book game in ages - thanks again for pushing this one @Newtype eiyuden chronicles rising - the not-suikoden team put this out as the kickstarter holdover game, and it's honestly a lotta fun just doing dungeon dives & sidequests to build up a village. can't wait for the full game whenever it shows max payne 3 - so after all that, i finally played through this shooter and yeah, i love this noir shit. story & settings were excellent, looking forward to 1&2 remakes later phew! i have a full plate for spooky season in august or so, debating a few small indie ones on gamepass till then or maybe starting my plan of finishing more 3d sonic (adventure etc) to hype up for frontiers later this year, tried disco elysium but just not in the mood for a crpg at the moment

first ever 2D pakistani showreel, impressive stuff

well this sucks...looks canceled, or at least with the current team attached to it. we'll see if it shows up with someone else down the road? meanwhile, here's what we say of it

i beat it the first night out & unlocked the secret character - game is so awesome i'm down, when you wanna play?

...see that sounds more appealing

looking back, i really had a good time with this one - combat is weird/clunky and genesis is a boring villain who reads too much poetry but i liked zack, in for this in the winter

next winter! apparently part 2 of 3 as well

Marvel Developing ‘Wonder Man’ Series with Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest never been a fan of the character, but this could be fun

neal adams, george perez & now tim...awful year for losing such extraordinary artists. RIP i realize he's more known for long halloween/etc but his marvel color books (daredevil yellow, spidey blue etc) are also fantastic

also its PG so nothing crazy here https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca59RLbr-y0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

finale shots, nothing too spoilery but just in case

apparently a reliable leaker says its trigun coming back

kinda down for this

i know it looks a bit budget, but sawyer has done some of obsidian's best work, and this looks kinda cool

so without FES you lose ability to wander the overworld (P3P moves more like a VN there) but you get the option of a female main character and full control of your party, not a bad tradeoff
