    Though you linked it, I will mention that the Zero patch was updated with the release of the Ao patch. It changes a fair bit of names and what not to coincide with the NISA translation of Cold Steel IV. I was planning on posting this, but you've been watching the info much more closely than I...

    It's because some Persona stuff showed up on a Denuvo DRM site. Also Atlus is doing some stuff during the soon upcoming PC Game Show this month and not listed through SEGA. The rumors I'm hearing is that they'll release on the day they're announced, which would be nice if true. Also recommend...

    Prelude to the Fallen > Mask of Deception > Mask of Truth Zan is just a musou game set in the series universe that has nothing to do with the story. Also because Prelude is translated by NISA so I can't comment on the quality of it, however the two Mask games localized by Atlus were terrific.

    The thing I like most about Nioh 2 is... I can co-op from the get-go with my friend without having one of us beat the level solo first. Co-op has more enemies and they have more health. Not sure if there's any difference in damage. Difficulty is okay and enemies don't respawn in co-op when you...

    Looks like the Trails from Zero fan translation is finally releasing this Saturday, the 14th. They even went as far as recreating the original trailer in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQWEc9rPhR0 Oh and the PC demo is out for Cold Steel 3 on Steam. NISA hired the new porting...

    Looks like there's a complete fan translation for the original Sakura Wars/Taisen on the Sega Saturn. Not sure how many are interested, but I wasn't sure anybody else would mention it.

    You can download backups through Google Sheets or Microsoft Office 365 Excel manually to your local drives, both of which are free through the web. I think you can use OneDrive to sync Office 365 docs/spreadsheets as well and Google probably has something similar, but I can't recall off the top...

    My backer copy of Bloodstained arrived yesterday. Looks a bit better than the demo did, but not by a whole lot. Game is pretty good so far, but I do hate one thing. You can't turn the low health indicator off and it's extremely intrusive/annoying. I wish there was an option to disable it or...

    I'm really liking Cadence of Hyrule. The music remix choices they've made are pretty popular, safe choices with popular tracks from Ocarina of Time and Link to the Past. They've all sounded pretty good thus far. I think I'm looking at beating the game at around 10 hours I'd wager based on my...

    The two you mentioned are more Music Rhythm games. Cadence of Hyrule and by extension Crypt of the Necrodancer are more like Dungeon Crawler Rhythm Games. Though Cadence of Hyrule will have a static overworld I believe, however the dungeon layouts are randomized. Movement is closer to...

    So long as you have a decent ability to move in line with the rhythm, it shouldn't be much of an issue. The main difference between the two games will be that in Cadence of Hyrule, enemies can drop health and the better you are with hitting the beat, the more drops you get. Whereas in...

    Meh, there hasn't been anything that makes me particularly excited yet. However, I am excited that Cadence of Hyrule releases tomorrow at $25. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATtLpjXTc7I Bad player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDORspwSgY Decent player who gets worse by the end...

    Phantasy Star Online 2 releasing in the west eight years after its original release? And only on Xbox One and Windows 10 (I assume this means the Microsoft Store only) as well? Are they trying to keep the amount of players low? Obviously Microsoft has paid for it, so it may be a temporary...

    Yeah, depending on how you go about moving forward in Disgaea games you can hit walls pretty easily. I personally never finished 3 & 4 as I didn't really care much for the way the story went with them. Ended up dropping them and not really enjoying them. Out of all the ones I've played, I...

    Heh, I was going to mention that since I received an email about it and people were recently interested in gaining some. In the end though, I ended up not playing in the Anniversary event. Also, for those who still have Amazon Prime and grabbed the 3 months free of Nintendo Online when I posted...

    Ahh shit, Baldur's Gate 3 was announced by Larian Studios. They're the ones who made Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2. They're one of two devs that I have at least some competence in to pull this off. Here comes the Illithid invasion. Mine Flayer spawning set to maximum disgust. No seriously, it's...

    I suppose I'll get back into Overwatch a bit more for this event. My free box ended up being the new Honeydew Mei costume. Winstons is pretty neat. Been lightly keeping an eye on player built custom games from the Overwatch subreddit. Some interesting ones have come out of it that aren't the...

    I don't recall it either. Also, I believe it was Atelier Totori that had "High Impact Sexual Violence" in its rating description. Totori was certainly one of the darker Atelier stories though. I still wonder what caused that rating description. Must have been some weird CG scene that I don't...

    Yeah, Steam still doesn't let you grab free DLC unless you own the base game. Though quite often the free DLC is included into the base game with Japanese games. I'll be annoyed again if they stick the Atelier quality of life synthesis as DLC only again as it used to be included in the game itself.
