Also a lot harder on the fingers with the thumb sticks than expected.

The AMD Adrenaline drivers dash claim Disco Elysium is not supported by my video card. It runs at 45 fps.
I mean, it's an rpg, in what world is that not playable?

It's what I've always wanted -- a trinity-based MMO without all the actual MMO parts lol. It's basically just running boss fights with your friends. My friend was a long time FFXIV player, and says the fights feel similar. You still have the dps/tank/healer dynamic, but none of the non-combat fluff.
It's made by an incredibly tiny, Indie developer with no advertising budget though. You should definitely arrange to play with friends, because the playerbase is too small for random matchmaking.
I would love for a bigger developer to tackle something like this. Monster Hunter is incredibly successful, so the structure is viable. I want that, but with all the actual class-based rpg mechanics too.

Grinding out world 5 of Nex Machina in preparation for a Veteran run, essentially skipping from Rookie past the next difficulty up, for unlocks and achievements.
Literally only bought the game two days ago, but going is slow, the difficulty increase is substantial. Not even sure I'm up to it, but I suppose if it took me 40 hours just to clear my first run of Hades, and about 35-who knows how many attempts at Nightmare King Grimm, then it's too early to get discouraged. It helps changing my mindset from score to survival, just let the human bastards get eaten and watch your 6.
But man, this never gets old, I'll give it that. Possibly the best twin stick shooter of all time. And only 5 million people bought it, judging by the merged leaderboards.

With that I should be done buying, but the prices on Panzer Dragoon Remake and Day of the Tentacle remake are awfully tempting..

If it's really sold 5 million copies, that's extremely impressive tbh. Especially for a fairly small indie game. FFVII Remake sold around that much, as a comparison.
I have been considering checking Nex Machina out myself. Looks fun.

If you get it, keep me posted on your rank, a little competition with a non random helps you stay motivated.
Unless you get it on Gog, in which case we can just swap id's. (The leaderboard is cross platform, but the friends lists are platform specific.)

I bought World Ignition, wasn't sure if we'd get Xplosion at a discount, but looks like I missed that window.
Much as I love World Ignition, they could have easily made Xplosion an expansion. I'm happy to support devs by, say, paying full price instead of waiting on a sale, but something about double dipping just for a few new modes feels manipulative..
Same reason I never bought Jamestown+ when I have the original, or Strike Suit Zero Directors Cut after buying a package of the earlier game and dlc's..

Of course the numbers dip drastically up higher difficulties, but as everyone goes through Novice mode except for the masochistic or elitist snobs who must do EVERYTHING on top difficulty; I'd guess it's a good indicator of sales.
Btw, 34,468 is my Rookie rank. Experienced is..... 125,589 out of 43,240??
What? So that number at the bottom is.... OH.
I was reading my score. Next to ranking.
I don't actually see a number for total leaderboard users. My bad. 😅

I remember the consensus used to be arcade stick > thumb stick > analog stick, but Nex Machina motivated me to go on an arcade binge of Raiden 4, Eschatos, and Crimzon Clover, and I did a lot better with an Xbox style analog stick over a Sony dpad.
Mainly, having to apply pressure to move seems to throw me off. Tilting on the stick just seems more natural, and isn't as hard on the thumb.
I'd only use a dpad for side scroller platformers I think, and even that isn't so bad on the few games set up for analog only movement.

Dunno why, but i'll look forward to get a PS5 and get some games. I'll probably get 3 starter games for my future PS5, but idk through.
I'll probably get a PS5 for these 3 games as a starter through:
- God of War Ragnarok (If i already finished it on PS4, i'll probably get NFS Unbound)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- The Callisto Protocol
My Future Predicted PS5 games:
- Saints Row
- Dead Island 2
- Witcher 3 (PS5 Edition)
- Forspoken
- Dead Space Remake
- Wild Hearts (For some reason i want the game just because it's similar to Monster Hunter)
- 3 Like a Dragon games
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Final Fantasy 16
- Assassin's Creed Mirage

Fallen Order is fun, but it is very hard to read text.
And cranking up the brightness ruins the intended mood.

For a game that is reported to be 10 hours, that is super linear, shitty combat, lack of enemy variety and supposedly has one of the worst final bosses in a game.
Game Pass....I predict next Halloween it will be released there.
Oh, the other compliant its f'ing gross but not scary at all because the game force feeds you enemies.
