EPTI gave a try at the older PC classics like Fallout and System Shock 2, but I can't find them that enjoyable and something I really want to boot up. Maybe my brain has been too addled with casualness lately.

I'm super happy for you that this is the case! I just quit my job earlier last month (; And I'm so fucking happy to only work there for two more. | ||

Not to say I didn’t enjoy Spiderman or other games like it. But nothing will reach the high of 2008 EA pumping out Dead Space and Mirror’s Edge in the same year as AC: Prime. Those were the years people were taking some chances on games and making wild shit. | ||

That's a hefty sum to be honest. I wouldn't have paid that much for Nier:Automata even though I think it would be worth it in hindsight. | ||

when you buy a game you pay upfront for the entirety of the experience, so you need a good measure of confidence that all 20-100+ hours will be worth it. Simultaneously, people are very resistant to "parting out" the game and buying it in chunks, which would allow you to experience part before paying the whole bill (admittedly, no game has ever reasonably priced it's "chunks"). | ||

Currently but aiming for the 4k (60) when upgrading next year but I've really become a sucker for high graphic settings (£££). Oh, and currently I have no card whatsoever lol. And ill be upgrading mid /end of January the earliest. why not just go for 1440p 144hz and stick with a 1080 and go for 4k 144hz in the next upgrade cycle | ||

And I'm rather hesitant to get a new last generation card. Maybe if I find a cheap 2nd hand one but that's not a given. AC odyssey is demanding as well! (-: | ||

Unusually, the rest the Ys games have a much more normal ARPG system. If it's Ys1 because it's the first one, it makes sense for it to be a bit weird, no? If you just had to play the game with a major art and dialogue overhaul, would you recognize it as a Ys game? | ||

It's really short though, but with insanely brutal boss fights. I'd guess it is maybe 5 hours? | ||

I may give up on the final boss though (it seems almost the exact same difficulty on normal). Ys series is basically generally about absurdly hard bosses that are extremely predictable, and taking advantage of that - though the difficulty has definitely gone down since the first by a LOT. | ||

The two leads from Tokyo Xanadu look exactly like Alisa/Rean from Trails of Cold Steel. | ||

The steam/ps4 version of Xanadu is so much better than the Vita one. Granted, it's a remake/remaster, but still. Tokyo Xanadu had a significantly more likeable main cast than Cold Steel. I'd say there are surface deep similarities between Hiiragi and Alyssa, but Alyssa is a much flatter character overall. The story was also somehow less ridiculous than much of CS1/2, which is impressive when you consider that one of Xanadu's major plot points was secret international para-military societies (multiples of them!) that somehow have high schoolers as high ranking members. Though the pacing was a bit off at times. I really don't see Emma/Hiiragi though, Emma is much bustier, wears glasses, and has a totally different hair style. Kou and Rean do look somewhat similar in that they both have dark hair, but I think Kou is a bit less generic looking (and also uses a very different weapon). One character, Towa, does literally appear in both games, but that felt like more of an easter egg than laziness (also, her model/design were far too good to be wasted on a random side character only). I think I like Xanadu overall more the CS1/2, thinking about it, though it's got more of a budget B-movie feel, and I liked the combat more in CS. It may just be that I had much lower expectations for Xanadu than CS though. Xanadu is basically the combat of Ys, setting/ out of combat of Persona (though far less time management and far fewer day-to-day decisions), and themes of Trails. I would note that hard on Xanadu is far closer to normal on most games. Normal is extraordinarily easy. | ||
