Thanks for posting this! Happy and pleasantly surprised to see Lumines and Ys VIII doing so well. It's a shame that NISA seems to have dropped the ball from a technical standpoint with Ys VIII, again, though. I got burned out on the game myself after getting to Chapter 5 (PS4), but fully intend to return to it again one day. Hopefully the promised patches smooth out issues for everyone on the Switch.
No problem. I love long jrpgs. The longer the better. Typically if I am enjoying an rpg in the first several hours then I am still going to be enjoying it hundreds of hours later. I should note that if I enjoy the combat in an rpg then I'm going to love grinding in the game too (best example of this for me would be "Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of a New World". Despite the game being generally worse than the first Symphonia in every area aside from graphics and combat I was able to put in 200+ hours into the game when it should only have taken me about 20 hours at most to beat it)
I THINK I'm right there with you. I don't quite love it yet but I am enjoying it quite a bit. I wasn't sure how I'd like it since gameplay videos didn't quite sell me, but I'm about 10 hours in and I'm singing a different tune. I just wish the technical aspect of it was better. It's nothing game breaking but there really is no reason this game is 30 FPS AND as ugly as it is.
Completely agree with you there. There are some areas that, graphically speaking, look 'fine' but then there are areas where it becomes so pixelated that if I didn't feel like playing the game, I could pixel count instead, which, I won't do since that would be boring and I'd rather just enjoy the game. :) It doesn't bother me though since the game still plays really good. Load times are pretty good too.
I mean theyre not for me, but I like what theyre going for..... someone might have better praises. I love the viking stuff but the game just felt lethargic to me.
I can see that. I'm a big viking fan, too, but I think I might hold off with the trilogy (see how players think the overall story wraps up) for the time being and pick up Bomb Chicken instead.

Without being inflammatory, why have people been so completely hyped for this one? Looks kind of unremarkable to me.
It's been delayed for over a year so I imagine people are just excited for it to come out. I was looking forward to it during the console launch window since there's wasn't a ton else, but now I could go either way.
It's an accessible fighting game with a great aesthetic. I'm not sure what you could find unremarkable about it. Games very rarely hearken back to the NGPC.
More power to you being able to get that much out of a game that you enjoy. I was like that when I was younger (the better part of my formative years were spent playing/grinding through many a RPG), but these days, I often get burned out on games in the genre around the 20-30 hour mark, even if I find the game to be a good one. I also often find myself having to go extended amounts of time without being able to play a game (and as a result dropping it if too much time passes).
It runs pretty well. Framerate is good most of the time. It will dip if there are a ton of scouts and titans all the same condensed area with collapsing buildings. The odm gear is very well done, it has to connect to buildings to swing and the swinging is very fun. I find the combat enjoyable, and the character creation is done pretty well. If you enjoy Attack on Titan, you'll likely enjoy it. I'd recommend it.
it's an extremely well regarded series so...not sure what else you need to know^^
Thanks you two. It's still a bit pricey, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for it.
Seems pretty good for the price. I really need a joycon with a D-pad though - all the specials require holding a diagonal and neither the stick or buttons are great for that.
Don't listen. That poster must be a visitor from oposite world. The game is polished and plays great and is a technical marvel. Buy it ASAP if you're even remotely into future racers.
I agree,. Fast RMX is one of the sleepers on Switch. Do get it if you are into arcade racers like me. So much content for a reat Price.
