I guess I better redownload Danganronpa VR while it's still there

Crap, I forgot about that. I don't have a PSVR, but if I ever get one I'll definitely want to try that.

I assume PSN won't stop me 'buying' a VR-only demo if I don't own a headset?

I got a 6 SSR account on my third try but 2 were dupe Velvets (who I picked on the selector). So not sure if I should keep it (Velvet / Luke / Rita / Kanonno)

Is this not like most gachas where you can (or rather, have to) feed dupes to each other to reach their true strength?

A few months ago, I noticed a rushing water sound coming from the boiler in the kitchen. And my thought process was basically "Of course it makes water noises. It's a water boiler. But the fact that I've never noticed it until now makes me worry that it's not meant to sound like that, even though that's logically a totally normal noise for it to be making".

Spoilers, it's always made that noise, and I still have no idea why I suddenly became aware of it that one time.

To be fair, once the Pieces of Eden get involved, it's not impossible that you might end up 'visiting' Valhalla. Bayek wound up in the Egyptian afterlife, after all, and it was never exactly explained what was really happening in those sequences.

Gacha doesn't just mean money sink, it also means everything will be done server-side, so better play the game while it lasts, because in a few years it'll be gone forever.

Okay, so they put all the obvious jokes that someone who's only ever watched Star Trek for five minutes would think of in the trailer, and they're saving the actually funny, clever stuff for the series... right?

Arguably, Giygas is insane and so not really in control of his actions, while Ridley has free will and chooses to be evil, which makes him worse.

I'm intrigued about the possibility of playing as literally anyone, but concerned about how that impacts the story. I'm worried that it'll be very generic without a main protagonist.

How does that work plotwise? Are you brainwashing people, or are you just so persuasive that you can get literally anyone to drop everything and join your cause with a single text message?

I just uninstalled. I love the atmosphere, art ,music, the story setup... but the gameplay barely even exists, and what there is is severely crippled by gacha.

Maybe I'll give the manga a whirl. The art is much worse, but hopefully the story's there.

Until Dawn does the same thing as Shattered Memories, but it's not exactly very deep. It boils down to "Are you more scared of scarecrows or clowns", and then that decides what kind of masks start showing up everywhere.

Although it makes more sense when you learn that the psychiatrist isn't meant to be talking to the player at all, and is actually a memory/hallucination of the guy who's setting up most of the scares as a twisted prank/revenge scheme, since of course his fears would influence his actions when he's trying to scare others.

If they're determined not to have the Paper series 'compete' with M&L, why even have pseudo-RPG battles? It's not like the battle system in the first two games was that amazing. Go back to the Super formula and focus on puzzles and character abilities. Heck, make it a Metroidvania!

I still go by the theory that Pokedex entries are in-universe folklore and myths (collated by ten-year-olds), not factual.

I know that's canonically not true, but it makes infinitely more sense than all those nonsense entries being accurate.

Crimson Shroud on 3DS. It's mostly VN, sort of themed as if it was a TTRPG (characters are represented by figurines being moved around a map), and battles involve throwing handfuls of virtual dice around the screen.

As a big fan of dark fairytales and stories-about-stories, I'm loving this so far.

Pity it's gacha instead of a proper game, but as long as I can make it through the main plot without going bankrupt, I'll probably be seeing a good chunk of this through.

Anyone know how the 5-off-30 thing works with refunds?

As in, if I buy several things and then decide I don't like one of them, will Steam assume that that one had the discount applied and deduct 5 from the refunded amount? I just know that there's going to be some scumbag trying to figure out how to spend 35, refund 30 worth of stuff and get a 5 game for free, and I'm not sure how their attempts to stop that guy will ruin it for the rest of us.

I suck at fighting games, but still have fun in some of them just about beating the story mode AIs. I've got some RPG characters I really want to see redone in other games, and having them fight in SCVI would be really cool. And it does seem to have a decent amount of solo content.

So, assuming I'll never actually be good at it, will never play against anything other than the AI, and will mostly be building custom characters... is it worth getting at the current sale price (probably the Deluxe version, because 2B)?

I've been wanting Kingdom Hearts Theatrhythm for a while, so I'm happy with this. I wonder if there will be a few songs from Final Fantasy and The World Ends With You as well. Curtain Call had a few crossover songs as DLC, so it's possible.

I'm crossing my fingers for Ashes of Dreams, because a Kingdom Hearts/NieR crossover would be amazing.

Has there ever been a decent rhythm game with Disney songs? Like, proper Disney songs.

Fantasia for Kinect was really good (IMO), but aside from the classical stuff that was in Fantasia-the-film, the only Disney music in it was Let It Go, and that was a) DLC and b) the crap pop cover.

And the less said about the quality of KH2 Atlantica the better. Not quite Katie Price and Peter Andre level butchering of Disney classics, but they tried.

Its unfortunate that capcom wants Chris to be the main character, because hes just a boring guy. Its also unfortunate that Leon completely changes his personality every game he appears in, Claires and Ethans gimmick of being normal people stops working after one game, and Jill has the worst character arc ever in the fifth game.

At least we still have Ada, I guess.

I think Zoe would make an interesting protagonist. Someone with experience surviving BOWs but not fighting them. Throw her back into a situation like the Baker plantation, only this time the enemies aren't content to toy with her, they want her dead. She's forced to fight back, and as she gradually gets to grips with combat, starts to wonder if hiding was the right choice all those years ago. She can fight now- if she'd fought then, could she have stopped the madness? Could she have saved everyone?

There's a lot of Mafia/Werewolf-esque games with the "everyone's a weird creature with their own abilities and agendas" thing, but none that I'm aware of use a train setting or give each player their own deck.

EDIT: The only game on BGG with the 'Trains' and 'Traitor game' (I'm assuming the killer would be a hidden role, making it a traitor mechanic) tags is Stop The Train, and doesn't have role decks or monsters.

This is probably in jest, but there's some incorrect math thinking behind this. The model is telling you its view of probabilities, but those probabilities don't necessarily reflect reality. You need to evaluate the accuracy of the model too. For example, if we roll a 6-sided die, we are very confident that each side has a 1/6 chance of hitting. We remain very confident about this even if say, after 50 rolls, it landed on "3" 25 times. While it seems like an anomalous result, we are so confident in our model (that each side has an equal chance of hitting) that we think it's just a run of luck for "3." But what if it lands on "3" all 50 times? What if it was 500 out of 500? At some point, we need to start questioning whether this die is fair or if it has been loaded to always land on 3.

I knew I shouldn't have bought those Russian dice
