Behold, the body of Adonis and the brain of a squirrel.

Anteaters?

[Chozon1]

Castlevania II is legendary, I'm pretty sure that's the first (or second) game the Angry Video Game Nerd ever covered. XD

But man, some of those MOBA players are a special kind of frustration. Ugh.


Any new game releases you're looking forward to?

Destiny 2. Also, Destiny 2. And later in the year, Destiny 2's expansions.

I'm vaguely interested in the Morrowind 'expansion' of TES online, actually. Don't want to get involved with a P2P MMO...but dang, I loved Morrowind. Still my favorite RPG ever, and seeing that world remade with modern tech? It's highly exciting to me.

I was also interested in The Scourge for awhile, until it got an M-rating. I wanted a Dark Souls alternative, but at that point I may as well play Dark Souls. XD

Injustice 2, though that's out now. I'm definitely going to be looking into it when the price drops.

Uncharted: Lost Legacy, too. Though Chloe was never a favorite character of mine, I still love the series, so I'm willing to give it a shot. I'd be much more interested if it was about Drake's daughter, or Sully though. XD

Oh, and Battlefront II. From what I've read, it's going to be amazing.

There's a lot, actually. XD

Anteaters?

At one time in my life, I thought they only had two legs, and as such, they looked terrifying. Then I saw a better picture of them, and I thought they were really cool. Sorta like big, odd looking dogs.

[Deepfreeze32]

I feel you. Atlus just announced a 3DS remake of Radiant Historia, and I kinda want it. Supposedly it's like Chrono Trigger, but with more control over time.

Then there's the Switch and some of its upcoming games, which I kind of want too. XD


When the battle music for a game gets incessantly stuck in your head?

[micah211]

Morrowind dlc looks cool, I probably won't be getting that though.

Never heard of Scourge.

Already have Injustice 2. It's really good! The amount of customization makes me forget about how bad at the game I am and draws me to play more for more gear.

Never played an Uncharted game and I thought this lat one was it XD

Battlefront 2, except for Destiny 2, is my most anticipated game of the year. I hope EA can for just once make a game that is finished... And has customization.

FF15 Dlc?

[Chozon1]

I hadn't heard of the remake, but that's exciting. I've been wanting to track down Radiant Historia and give it a shot. It made Game Informers list of 100 best RPG's.

And yes, the Switch...but that's a pipe dream for me, at the moment. Breath of the Wild looks amazing.

I don't know how many tasks in my life have been paced to the old Final Fantasy victory theme. XD Or Chrono Trigger, for that matter. Those games have amazing musics.

Morrowind dlc looks cool, I probably won't be getting that though.

FF15 Dlc?

Yeah, I'm just going to get the OG Morrowind. Birthday is coming up, and that's where part of the money is going. XD

Also, you haven't heard of The Scourge because I am a goober, and it doesn't exist. The Surge. I meant The Surge. XD

Supposedly, Thief's End was the final Uncharted. They wanted to give Chloe an ending, if I remember aright. But you should give the series a shot; I can't recommend them enough.

I don't know what the DLC for FF15 is, actually. O_o

[micah211]

Ohhh The surge... I like the look of that... however it gives me a bit of a Deadspace feel... That scares me.

I messed up too. I thought the dlc was for 15 but it's for 14 and its now 500x less exciting.

Steam summer sales?

[Chozon1]

Yeah. It looked a lot cooler before it went into the hyper-violent realm. XD Pulling parts off of robots and using them as your weapons and armor just sounds really cool.

But I digress. FF14 DLC I have heard about at least. XD But yes, I'm not that interested in it either. It would have to be a very, very good game for me to pay a monthly subscription for it.

I'm looking forward to the Summer Sale, with a bit of hesitance. I usually comb over the selections and buy a few older RPG's or something, but as time progresses and the compy doesn't, it's harder to find games that will run on it.

Still. Here's hoping for a good deal on Planescape: Torment EE. GOG has it but it's only $3 off, and I'm hoping Steam can beat that. NEO Scavenger is something I'm keeping an eye on too.

As a heads up, I just paid full price for the original Morrowind, so it's almost guaranteed to be on sale for the cheaps if you want to give it a shot.

[Deepfreeze32]

Didn't know Radiant Historia was on that list. I just know Atlus has made some phenomenal RPGs, and Radiant Historia seemed intriguing. Now I really want it. XD

So I recently beat a game called Digital Devil Saga, and it was a lot of fun. But I really liked the ending credits music. Maybe you will too:



Thoughts?

[Chozon1]

Well...take the list with a grain of salt. It's a strange beast, considering it's got things like Wasteland, Ultima 7, World of Xeen, Baldurs Gate, Chrono Trigger and several classic FF entries which show the author(s) actually have a firm grasp of RPG history and its lineage through both the PC and console era...

And then the winner of 'best RPG of all time, number 1 on the list'...is Skyrim. O_o

With a 'number 0' entry of D&D as the grandpappy of all modern RPG's. Which I thought was nice. But still. Skyrim. I know it's good...but best RPG of all time good? With epic tales like Chrono Trigger and Planescape: Torment in the running...Skyrim?

I really liked that too. I'd call it amazing, actually. Especially at about the 4 minute+ mark.

[Deepfreeze32]

Oooh, yeah, I remember that now. I would never consider a Bethesda game a contender for "best RPG" if only because those games are usually broken to heck and need mods and patches to become playable. That and I don't think there's as good as people think they are. They are good, but they aren't masterworks either. XD

So I recently discovered a German music group called Kraftwerk (Translates to Power Station). They were mostly active in the 70's and 80's, and were pioneers of the electronic music genre. Here's one of my favorite tracks by them:



What do you think?

[Chozon1]

I just don't know. I've played a lot of RPG's, both JRPG and western...I haven't played one that has surpassed the completed, immersive world of Morrowind. Even broken (because--believe it or not--my first TES experience was with a console version. I had to go back and lose 15-20 hours of game play because a glitch lost the quest-ending item I had to collect), they're still mostly unsurpassed.

I like it. Kinda got monotonous...but at the same time, I didn't mind the repetition because it was just a nice beat. Good stuff.

[Deepfreeze32]

I guess I can see that. I have never been completely blown away by a game (Well, not in the immersion sense, I've played plenty of freaking amazing games), because I could always find "holes" in the immersion. Usually these are technical issues, but sometimes there's a disconnect in something in the world that doesn't make sense to me.

Got another Kraftwerk one for you: This is a live medley of two songs from their album Computer World.



Thoughts?

[Chozon1]

Admittedly, when the world drops out from under you for no reason, or you get stuck between two rocks, it's hard to believe the world is real. XD Thank heavens for frequent saves and the console.

That was strange, but I think I liked it. Still weird sauce, and pretty clearly time stamped to an era of music, but I liked it. XD

Not a bad thing, either.

[Deepfreeze32]

Here's another medley for you:



Thoughts?

[Chozon1]

That was ridiculously awesome. XD
