What a dumpster fire of a company Embracer turned out to be huh.
I remember not too long ago Saber (under Embracer) taking control of that. Good old Tim Willits. I know Scott Miller around that time resurrected the Apogee name. Bet he saw all this coming.
Picked up Talos 2 in the Steam sale, I haven't played it a lot but I'm enjoying it so far. The puzzle logic seems straightforward and pretty fun to figure out (I doubt most people would need a guide for it, compared to something like The Witness)
Based, I used to love Blades of Exile back in the day and put a lot of hours into the Avernum series over the years. I think it's the kind of game where you will know whether you're interested in playing it after like 5 seconds of seeing screenshots.
Oh, nice. The Fairyland Story is on the Switch. I've gotta see what other arcade games it has.

Boomers, rejoice - NCSOFT has given an official (limited) license to a City of Heroes Private Server, and are allowing them to maintain and develop content for it (run entirely by donations)
Chuubas, rejoice - you can stream the game as long as it is public and not behind a paywall
Let the renaissance of legally distinct heroes and villains commence

This makes me sick.
The guys behind Homecoming, Leandro and his cabal, have spent YEARS harassing people, keeping the existence of a private server secret, been very unwilling to share their tech and resources, begged for lots of money, claimed they've been "in talks" with NCSoft for over 10 years now but never had any proof (frankly I don't fully believe this licensing agreement is real). I could go on and on.
They're going to treat this like a free pass to harass other servers and act like they must fold into Homecoming or be shut down. Calling it now we'll see Thunderspy and Rebirth (the two biggest other CoH private servers) suddenly get Cease & Desist letters from "totallyNCsoftlawyer@gmail.com" in the coming days.
Sorry, this should be a joyous occasion, but I'm more worried than happy.

For the time being, I choose to believe them until proven otherwise, primarily because it would lead to the mother of all legal battles if it turned out they falsified their affiliation with NCSOFT in this sort of a public matter. Claiming to have this sort of license would not only put them in hot water, but anyone else involved as well, and I don't think they would survive so many people after their skin if that happened.
That being said, if the license isn't actually real, I am more than willing to rake them over the coals for this because I've been waiting on a CoH comeback or spiritual successor (from various yet-to-be-delivered kickstarter campaigns, such as City of Titans).
I just got Arcade Archives of Splatterhouse and Phelios.
Dread was fantastic, but I'm having a really hard time getting into Prime Remastered. Anyone else prefer the 2D Metroid games?
I only played the first Metroid Prime. Two and three are on my list to play. I enjoyed Prime, but I do agree I prefer the 2D games that I've played. In general, I enjoy 2D Metroidvania games.
This showed up on my timeline, an indie vehicular combat game.
Looks like it has potential. As a fan of the older Twisted Metal games, I'd love a good, new vehicular combat game. Will keep an eye on it.
Happy Rat versus Upset Rat (Spoilers for Yakuza 0)
Jesus. Just started playing Monster Hunter World. I've gotten an hour into it, and the first 50 minutes of that was nothing but unskippable cutscenes and holding down the "walk forward" button as characters I don't give a shit about talked about things I don't give a shit about.
Edit: I have a feeling that there's still plenty more prologue to go through after that first mission, too.

World was an introduction to a whole new gen of players so yeah it's a bit obnoxious to start, and the story is visual chewing gum in a way only MonHun really manages to be, but once it opens up the progression of levelling all the way to the top ranked hunts is fantastic.
Hype aside I have mixed feelings about a big return to World. While I liked some things, I was ultimately unhappy with how Rise/Sunbreak turned out, but the thought of returning back to World's endgame and its own quirks feels daunting after the hundreds of hours I spent getting intimately familiar with them when it was current.

Since I normally just come here to bitch about games I'm not enjoying, here's one that I like. After dropping MHW after another hour, I started up Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. As someone whose first Castlevania game was Aria of Sorrow, I'm really enjoying it so far. Haven't gotten too far into it, though, so it might go downhill later on.
