Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 317: 1/27/24: Granblue Fantasy: Relink/Persona 3 Reload/Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Le

OK, so two things. First, I finished Star Ocean: Second Story R the other night. I've had to process what to say about it. On the one hand, it's a ton of fun to play. The battle system is simple and breezy, button-mashy but in a fun way and fights are over quickly. Most of the heavy lifting strateg...

Hey. I survived January Regents testing in NYC. In NY, students have to pass Regents tests to graduate. This year, it is my responsibility to plan them. It was godawful. The bureaucracy drained me for it is my kryptonite. That's why I have barely been present recently. I won't be around much starti...

Re: It's 2024 already?!? What the heck man!

Great list as always, izzy. I appreciate the detailed write-ups for each game... very easy to determine whether something is for me (or not). I have a handful I'll check out at some point. I also feel confident saying no one on this entire planet played a wider variety of games (styles, eras, platfo...

Re: It's 2024 already?!? What the heck man!

I've never played the earliest examples of the Castlevania franchise, although I plan to at some point. But once I played Symphony of the Night on the PS1, I became a devoted fan of both the franchise and the "Metroidvania" or "Igavania" formula, and I finally got around to play...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vnnY1GW_hog&pp=ygUER3lsdA%3D%3D Huh. I'm not into survival horror but it does look pretty cool. I'm about to start up Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 (My Summer Vacation 2: Sea Adventure Chapter) for PS2. I had been wanting to play it ever since I learned about it years ago,...

Playing: Gylt What on earth is Gylt? Goat Simulator 3 is amazing. Seriously, you all NEED to play it. It's what I'd call a true sandbox game because you can do pretty much whatever you want and just messing around is half the fun. But they really stepped this game up from the first one (there is no...

Re: It's 2024 already?!? What the heck man!

This is the type of game that would have benefited from an in-game map, or you could, in a really old-school manner, make your own. That seems like it would be insane to do these days, but it didn't bother me at all when I played FF1 the first time on NES. I think I still have my hand-drawn maps in...
