Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

That show was DCAU Justice League level at times

Man… Ys 8 is awesome. I think I’m approaching the end, but it’s been a joy all the way through. It’s def a lot different from previous Ys games since it’s like Lost + Ys. My only knock is the boss fights are a little on the dull side. I need more Ys games on the Switch.

I really hate how these Falcom games are all split between Xseed and NISA. NISA fixed Ys 8’s translation issues, but there were def a few typos I still read. I know Xseed is supposedly slow, but they did great work on the Trails games. Just waiting for Xseed to realize the Switch is a good platform to port to too.

Preach brojer. That game is one of the highlights of the generation for me. I think in the future I will try to buy the Vita CE, since it’s 1:1 the PS4 version in contents. My beef with NISA is that the CE was exclusive to their website+had a premium cost, whereas when Xseed publishes them they basically give you a CE on day juan at no extra cost.

Imma double-dip on Ys: Memories of Celceta when it hits PS4. It’s so damn good as well, the combat is so much damn fun.

I deleted Ys 8 from my Vita a few days ago. Needed room for dat Catherine.

…still havent been able to apply the patch.

So… Turns out there are physical copies of Blasphemous out there. It’s a limited run apparently.

There’s also a fucking sick artbook… THAT THEY STOPPED SELLING TWO DAYS AGO AND I MISSED IT. :sob::sob::sob:

@martian a lot of Limited Runs Games releases end up available at Best Buy. They have an distributor exclusivity contract through them.

I don’t know if they’ll come with the art book tho.

Interesting. I’ll definitely keep an eye out. I want both of these so bad, at the very least the artbook.

If all else fails, eBay. I wish you luck in your endeavors, friendo

Well, time to ā€œkeep tabsā€ on Best Buy then…

Social media bruv. And if you don’t like using those just go to their site and subscribe to their news letter.

Yeah I’m gonna grab Memories on Steam since it’s only $18. If it does get a Switch port, I’ll def support it too. Sucks that Ys 8 had localization issues at first. That’s why I ignored it for so long(though maybe I shouldn’t have since it’s an action rpg). After playing it, I would’ve loved to have the CE.

ah, some tips for the higher difficulties of Dead Cells


I’m definitely on agreement with Survival builds. I think it’s actually a must, really from 2-cell on up. I had absolutely no chance with other builds, though Tactics did let me get close a couple of times…but it was Survival that finally got me through. With Survival you can play ranged and still have enough health to take the occasional hit…with healing provided by the Necromancy passive. Even though they toned that down, necro passive is still a reliable source of healing when you have a good amount of survival points…use that to heal throughout the game, and hopefully you go into the battle with Hand of the King with a huge amount of HP + that heart passive + all your healing flasks.

This game was PC exclusive for a while and is now hitting consoles. It looks really good, it’s been on my radar for a while:

Activision is going after the person who leaked the Battle Royale mode for CoD

What kind of idiot complains about someone using a perk that comes with the job? LOL

Fuck Activision, I hope they get nothing but a big middle finger
