glennmagusharvey · 2014-12-09 03:15:51

oh isn't all of persona on sony systems?

that would do it

Calica · 2014-12-09 03:17:28

I can't play it because my brother is hogging the DS.

Tell him to get his own Goddess then.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-12-09 03:33:24

I don't know what that means.

Morven · 2014-12-09 05:18:44

One of those stupid pun things, this time because 'DS' in French is a homophone of déesse which means goddess.

It amused me at the time, but I was in a strange mood.

glennmagusharvey · 2014-12-09 05:19:31

Having learned the explanation, I have become amused by it and I think it is an elegant little pun.

Calica · 2014-12-09 05:26:58

I assumed it was "godDS" or something like that

I never noticed it before for some reason :v

Someone gonna play some 2hu. :3

Yarrun XIX · 2014-12-16 22:33:11

That is an impressive amount of Touhou.

I should get back into Planescape. I was playing it when my laptop borked itself something serious, and I never got back to it.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-16 22:36:09

Diablo 2 is a fantastic game.

One that has unfortunately never really had a proper followup.

I mean, there's Diablo 3, which is fine, but not as good as 2.

You should see my Touhou library.

It wasn't even by the same team. Some people from Blizzard North, after its dissolution, would go on to create Torchlight, which is similar to Diablo.

Morven · 2014-12-16 23:14:21

I actually know the spouse of one of the Torchlight, ex Diablo, developers, we're in a reading group together.

I really don't like the frenetically-clicky thing about Diablo, though. I prefer games you can drive most of it with the keyboard.

nohaynicklibre · 2014-12-16 23:15:24

Miko, have you gotten around to play the fighting games?

I'm aware of that.

I don't think Diablo 3 is a bad game, it's just not really comparable to Diablo 2. They're in the same genre but otherwise rather different.

Torchlight is....closer mechanically, but lacks a lot of the aesthetic feel of Diablo 2.

My favorite "diablolike" so to speak, is Path of Exile.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-12-16 23:15:52

Diablo and Torchlight are fun imo.

yeah but you can like have a skeleton army

Morven · 2014-12-16 23:17:23

That bit is neat, I'll give it.

They are.

I've still never finished Torchlight 2. I should like, do that sometime.

Buttwangs · 2014-12-16 23:19:27

Out of that list, I ended up trying Age of Wonders, which I never tried before, and I kinda got suck into, although I held back fearing a huge time sink.

Also this is technically Miko's Touhou collection, not mine.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-12-16 23:42:28

Not pictured: Touhou 1 - 6. ^_^ But yes, she is right.

Buttwangs · 2014-12-17 02:04:39

Miko being awesome: http://steamcommunity.com/id/milkywaystardustreverie/stats/283820/achievements/?tab=leaderboards&lb=553394

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-17 12:18:27

what is KAMUI

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-12-17 12:45:35

I'd give Dragon Age Inquisition game of the year if Bayonetta 2 wasn't released this year.

A game I have not yet played, but that I KNOW will be fantastic.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-17 21:51:58

that is legitimately quite impressive

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-12-17 22:23:16

I'm not even that good. <_<' I've seen higher scores on Youtube and Nico Nico!

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-17 22:24:57

Do you want to become a lightning god?
Do you like lightning and explosions?
If yes, then buy this game right now.

what a great review.

Imipolex G · 2014-12-18 02:46:56

Think I'm gonna have to add Symphony of the Night to my "list of games I got REALLY into and played nonstop for a while"

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-12-18 14:38:43

I'ts a very silly game in many ways but I think it deserves its status as a classic. :D

Bunny · 2014-12-18 15:52:11

Pictured: why FFIX is the best game

Yarrun XIX · 2014-12-18 23:15:40

THE HOLIDAY SALE

IT BEGINS

Yarrun XIX · 2014-12-18 23:22:14

And Dragonborn is still more than 9.99

For crying out loud, all I want to do is explore an eldritch dimension of books without paying buffet prices. I would consider buying it for 10 dollars if the vampire dlc wasn't so disappointing.

Obā-san · 2014-12-18 23:31:23

i have the coolest friends

Crystal · 2014-12-18 23:33:19

I finally unlocked the hidden character in Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It was an incredibly OP run, getting Polyphemus, Magic Mushroom, and Guppy (including the Collar), by the fourth floor (Guppy on the third, to be exact). I sped through the game fast enough to accidentally beat the Boss Rush, which is nice.

Then I got to Satan, and had to keep trying seven times, thanks to the Collar, until he finally killed me and I unlocked him. It was incredibly ridiculous.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-12-21 06:26:47

Freedom Planet is a kick-ass platformer.

thenamelesssamurai · 2014-12-21 23:59:49

Only tangentially related to games, but has anyone else been getting random friend requests from Steam out of nowhere? In the past two weeks, I've gotten 8 friend requests from people I've never heard of and who I have no friends in common with. Half the people don't have even have a profile.

Morven · 2014-12-22 00:16:11

Sounds like spambots

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-12-22 00:22:08

Seriously, Freedom Planet is the best platformer in like forever. It's awesome.

That's a thing that's been going around, don't accept them.

Imipolex G · 2014-12-22 00:29:00

looks like a Sonic game, honestly

it's nice to see 2-D platformers still being a thing, though

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-22 00:29:53

Did y'all know that there's an Azumanga Daioh video game
