Really enjoying Bitmap Books, they do some bloody good work. This should be interesting…

I dunno about this. Everyone involved are the types always trying to stir shit like this up. I could be charitable but they don't deserve it. There is maybe an argument that some of this stuff is a bit toothless, always a bit too cozy and wholesome and maybe some more confidence in their world building would be better but that's not what these chuds are bothered about. It's that there are minority characters are just there in the first place. Fuck 'em.

Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bug hunt?

This is some sort of tactics game with battles and stuff. In the battles you have groups of units that you can order around, and when they meet an enemy unit theres a fight which plays out automatically, but you can pick units that are strong against the enemy and sort of program their actions beforehand. i thought this looked interesting because of how you sort of program the fight then see how it plays out, but its not all to do with that, seems if you win is more based on rock paper scissors stuff going on between the different unit classes, like im pretty rubbish at this sort of thing but magic is strong against shield units i think, so you can tell your magic guys to prioritise shield baddies, stuff like that. Its quite complicated im still trying to work out what units i need and havent touched the programming much yet (not had the tutorial for it yet). seems pretty good/interesting so far, im enjoying it anyway, about 4 hours in. the graphics and music are good. Not much happened in the story so far. the name is sort of ridiculous but im coming round to liking it. there are options to kill/punish people or free them… spoiler but id advise reading it Anyone else playing this/how are you getting on with it?

Switch version is getting a 60fps performance mode: This game seems to have been rushed hard to make that shadowdrop deadline. Very similar situation to how the Panzer Dragoon remake launched a few years ago.

I genuinely think this has the most fun turn based combat ever. This comparison is just for me, but it reminds me when I played Mario Kart 8. That game started to become incredible when I noticed just how fun it is to push the buttons. Like hop, drift and boosting just felt so smooth and made me feel slick just hitting the buttons. This is what this game is like, except the way the menus and animations slide from one thing to the next, it has that same slick/powerful feeling to it. The Shift transition is godlike And you add in the music and everything ah. I'm nearing 70 hours in and this is the first time a turn based battle system has got more fun and more compelling the more I play it. Oh my god I fucking love this game it's so good. I wish I had completed it before my holiday because I'm losing my week to it 😭

Holy Shit!! That’s just unlocked a very old lost memory. That’s one my mum played with me when I was young. I’ve not thought of that game for years! I’ve not even seen it pop up or heard it mentioned since back then. Wow. Thank you for that.

Phew, making these Personas and rebuying registered Personas to keep making them is getting too expensive. I went from about 250K down to 40K and I still had some Personas left over to make. About to embark on another block and I think this time I'm going to have to take the money reward every time. Actually, as I write this, I just remembered that I forgetting to use the fortune teller 😭 Every time I'm in Tartarus I think "Ah! Next time use the fortune teller" and have not done it once. Managed to max a bunch of social links and get my team their +2 skills. So hopefully this will be easy enough. I have a whole block to cover, 3 people to save, and need a lot of money. The deadline is Nov 2nd and the date is Nov 1st lol

Yukari is only mean to Junpei and more than half the time he deserves it for being a weirdo. He does pendulum swing from being da' man to Stupei.

Is there a management mode where you send dick pics to your staff?

I absolutely loved the demo, which led to me buying the full game. I’ve only played a little bit, as I was concentrating on finishing off FF7 Rebirth, and felt rough as hell yesterday. But, I’m very impressed with this game so far.

My CE is stuck in the amazon shipping circle of hell. I hope it doesn't mean they botched their pre-orders and sold more than they got. Definitely looking forward t it, the demo absolutely blew me away and the reviews scores seem to confirm that it is indeed a fantastic game. Regarding your spoiler, I hope this is a bit more nuanced than it initially appears, otherwise that'd be an odd feature to just include if one options is de facto always better than the other.

😂

Bloody love Contra, enjoyed the demo. Apparently the Switch version runs quite badly, so I’d avoid that.

Wouldn't be surprised if this got posted here at some point already, but as I'm approaching the end of P5 I've really enjoyed this particular boss theme: I like how it's fundamentally still very jazzy like the rest of its OST, but with a couple of unusual instruments mixed in for this genre. Not quite up there with P4 I think but the OST has really grown on me.
