@TriforceBun Does Ys VIII feel like it's padded at all? One of the things I like about the first handful of Ys games is that they're like bite-sized, fast-paced JRPGs (10-15 hours). But then Ys Seven was double the length and half the fun. I see VIII is even longer. Does it overstay its welcome?
Sweeeeeeeet. Spyro is in there, and a friend of mine and me have had our eye on it to see when it might be on sale. If we go halfsies we can get a copy for like 11 bucks each. Deal!
So that Target thing had Dragon Quest XI at $49.99 with 25% off, which worked out to $39.09 after tax. But I got $50 of Target gift cards from Xenia Gifts for $45.35. Which means my ACTUAL cost for Dragon Quest XI was $35.45.
Pretty sweet!
Of course I still have some leftovers on those Target gift cards but that is fine, we go to Target probably once every few weeks anyway.
Hm, possibly, considering I haven't finished it yet! I really like the main story stuff involving building up your island base and exploring, but the B-plot stuff involving more mystical elements is a bit less interesting to me.
I was just re-reading our thread on Runner 2, seeing how frustrated we all were with the extraneous garbage in that game that ruined it. It was still a fun time, and I've been tempted to check out Runner 3, but it sounds like they doubled-down on the extra stuff rather than fine-tuning the core game, which is disappointing! They even brought back the cannon mini-game!
2 at least felt like a step up in some ways, even with all the extra stuff that held it back. Runner 3 was mostly more of the same, kind of came and went for me.
Late to the party on this but I enjoyed Toejam and Earl Back In The Groove when I played it on Xbox One. Was really surprised as I never played a TJ&E game before. It was bizarre and I really didn't understand some things by the end of it, but I managed to beat it and at $3.74, that's a solid deal. I don't think I'd have been psyched at the current $14.99 price.
I'd say if you're a fan of the show, Stick of Truth is a STEAL at that price. It's awesome. If you're not turned off by South Park's super vulgar humor then it's a no brainer. AND it's a really good game. Developed by Obsidian, who knows their way around RPGs.
Stick of Truth is great! Definitely a must-play if you're a fan of the show. Fractured But Whole was kinda just more of the same and felt pretty played out, but you'll love Stick of Truth.
I can't even consider buying games on the eShop right now. I have 1000+ indie games ready to play after getting the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. There's so much to play it's nuts.
