Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 278: 4/29/23: Redfall Edition

Getting close to the end of the story in Burning Shores, but there is still plenty of side stuff to complete. Good times. What about it couldn’t be done on PS4, because they said that it could only be done on PS5 which is why they didn’t release it for PS4 as well despite them releasing the main ga...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 278: 4/29/23: Redfall Edition

Re-discovered Grindstone, aka pure digital crack. It's finally getting ported to other consoles, so I highly recommend you guys check it out if you like puzzle games at all. I just watched the trailer... it should have had a trigger warning for monkey stabbing. :cry: That looks like a match-3 type ...

Re: The Haul Thread 2023

Wait, they sell a whole ass new Zelda game themed Switch... without the game? Do they give you a voucher for it to download or something? They have to, they at least do that much in those ridiculous special edition games that include everything but the disc version of the game. I guess Nintendo alw...

Re: The PS2 Backlog Committee Game Club #1 - Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow

Hearts have never refilled health in Castlevania games (yeah, it's weird, but just a remnant of NES weirdness). Traditionally they have given you uses of your sub-weapons, but since there are no sub-weapons in Aria they refill a tiny bit of your magic meter - it's honestly not even noticeable unles...

Re: The PS2 Backlog Committee Game Club #1 - Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow

That's something I meant to ask here. I saw no evidence that the hearts moved my health bar at all... throughout the entire game. Even when I picked up a giant one. Did I miss something? Hearts have never refilled health in Castlevania games (yeah, it's weird, but just a remnant of NES weirdness). ...

Re: The PS2 Backlog Committee Game Club #1 - Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow

One of the books is kinda cryptic IMO, but then again I didn't really try very hard to figure them out - I was ready to just look it up. :P As far as being worth it, I think the true ending is much more interesting than the "bad" one. And that final boss...yikes. That thing is H-A-R-D. I w...
