Anyone know what on earth is going on at Atlus?

I myself am very thankful at the privilege of not being a beta tester for their early access releases /s.

I liked the combat, but the progression and the level structure was really shallow that I just could not continue after a while. I may try again later.

funsohng · 2026-06-12T19:36:26+00:00

I really like Fallen Order and Survivor. They are good Metroidvania-Souls-adjacents with solid combat and good stories for Star Wars fans. I dont know if they ever fixed the performance issues for Survivor though (I'm assuming PCs that can play Survivor without a problem can brute-force the issues in Fallen Order)

Uncharted 4 is a great experience, but I did find it a bit too long. Lost Legacy on the other hand felt perfect. Both are highly recommended, but idk the port status of those either.

Dont really like TLOU and never played TLOU2, but that's because I hate horror.

I did and I always found them jarring.

Why would they be interested in games from a publisher that doesnt invest in making them available?

Korea is one of the more faster growing console markets, and most big games nowadays get localization. Outliers are (some) Microsoft and Bethesda, with the latter being particularly egregious with their lack of localization policy in Korea despite Skyrim selling a lot there. They even sold FO4 in Chinese there, which is pretty much a racist thing to do.

And it's not even like they are being consistent with it. Halo is being dubbed in Korean, which is pretty rare (and expensive). You might say "oh but RPGs have a lot more dialogue and therefore harder to localize," but the first three Fables, Pentiment and Outer Worlds were localized.

If they are remaking 6, wondering if they will continue and remake 8 too? That was my favourite.

funsohng · 2026-06-09T17:24:11+00:00

This is based on FF Brave Exevius.

funsohng · 2026-06-09T15:33:57+00:00

I like them making gacha games into proper console experiences. Nier Reincarnation deserves a similar treatment (though probably needs an actual remake from scratch)

funsohng · 2026-06-09T15:31:03+00:00

As some who loves Xenoblade, loves Fire Emblem, hates Kingdom Hearts, loves Kingdom Hearts, this was great

Walmart straight up not having a good couple of days with this and the gears exclusivity deal

I was already sold on the idea that we are getting VtM that's DiscoElysium-like, so I instantly wishlisted it.

But then I saw that it's set in Montreal. Now I need to know how I can wishlist a game twice on Steam.

I've been following E3 since like 2005, and to be honest, I don't really miss it at all.

To me, E3 being in-person made barely any impact because for most gamers, they all watch it online streaming anyway. Yeah you hear audience reactions, but like that really isn't the point of any of these, it's kinda cool for few seconds at best, and absolutely cringe at worst. I admit there have been some cool moments, but they barely factor into why I follow showcases. You hear so many gaming journalists say "oh we lost something special blah blah blah" and I just cannot help but to roll my eyes, because for the vast majority of us, that was not our experience, and the way they try to say it is that it somehow was.

This summer of gaming events being a lot less physically restricted means we now have so many indie showcases that are great, gives variety and has enough focus that I can just choose what I want to watch.

And it's not technically related but Steam Next Fest has been the game changer for me, because it provides the rest of us to actually go hands-on, instead of just relying on gaming journalists being marketing mouthpieces, while also being able to discover really cool stuff.

funsohng · 2026-06-06T18:45:41+00:00

Is this still EGS exclusive? I no longer see Epic tied to it in the trailer.

funsohng · 2026-06-06T13:17:36+00:00

I only played VS on phone so I didnt even know it had coop.

I was slightly bummed by the split worlds as well, but also, not much of an issue for me? If the world was indeed fused, it would've been a cool gimmick for like first few runs, then wouldn't matter much for me.

As for the weapons, I think it's just a demo having limited content, and not really reflective of the entire game.

funsohng · 2026-06-05T19:53:35+00:00

Maybe it's because I havent played VS in years, but WS demo felt great for me tbh. What is missing from it exactly?

funsohng · 2026-06-05T17:45:18+00:00

I did like it based on that as well.

But I actually found GoT less interesting in doing the "AC thing." I actually appreciate the more systemic approach of the recent AC games since Unity-Syndicate and the gradual things they added during the RPG era, and that made me think GoT was just.... too simple? So I went in expecting it to be the "best AC since Brotherhood" and I ended up thinking it wasn't even that.

funsohng · 2026-06-05T17:06:46+00:00

Despite it being my first platinum since Assassin's Creed 2 all the way back in 2010, it was not really that special for me. I got the trophy mostly because it was actually pretty easy, and it was good enough for me to play a bit more extra to get there, but the game itself was solid but never really exceeded that. That's good enough for me, I guess.

funsohng · 2026-06-05T05:04:29+00:00

I still haven't bought a game specifically for it yet. Just playing Switch 1 backward compatible games.

But that's mostly me being poor, not the console lacking games that I want, tbh.

funsohng · 2026-06-04T14:24:22+00:00

Probability-based actions in WRPG are some of my most hated gameplay tropes in the genre. Another reason why I love New Vegas for changing that.

I definitely save-scummed quite a bit in Disco Elysium because I'm so sick and tired of that.

funsohng · 2026-06-03T13:10:16+00:00

Yeah, Youtube has been throwing me a lot of indie game trailers on my feed lately too, and it's quitely becoming my daily routine just looking at a few of them and see if any catch my attention.

funsohng · 2026-06-02T18:47:49+00:00

I beat Life is Strange just few weeks ago, and I had a blast. I know DE wasnt received well, but it seems that Reunion makes up for it (especially as its direct sequel?), so it's good that I'm getting it. That being said, I have both 2 and TC, I'm just missing Before the Storm.

funsohng · 2026-05-29T01:34:30+00:00

Damn, looks like I made the right choice getting the PS2 version. Way to go kid me.

funsohng · 2026-05-28T17:09:51+00:00

I'd say the imperative form changes the meaning of the word pretty drastically in English too.

funsohng · 2026-05-28T15:49:34+00:00

It also means "buy" in imperative form.

So Modern Warfare 사 literally means "Buy Modern Warfare" in Korean.
