Mamoulian War

Tales of Destiny Director's Cut fan translation group Life Bottle Production, got their trailer for BETA of their project. Patch is still missing very few menus well hidden in the original files and some synopsis, but everything else should be at 100% now. So if you love jRPG history, and was sad, that this game was never oficialy translated to English, and all of the fan translation efforts ended up cancelled, you have now chance to finally play it in English I am proud, that I was part of the effort in the beginning of the project, while I still had some time to make Arte and Enemy matching with official Bamco Translations So in the final patch, you might find me in the credits as well

What about Sharon Stone? But I think, she became known in 90s as well, hmm Edit: Basic Instinct is from 1992. So probably not her...

I Might be wrong, but the last one looks like Wesley Snipes to me

Hurlshot just beat me to answering, who that guy is

That's a sign

From reading all your comments here, it looks like that Mass Effect Legendary will be loosing it's biggest asset...

Entered Chapter 4 in Tales of Legendia. The game is more fun, than I have anticipated, even though for some people would be the fight model outdated now. It does not hinder my enjoyment of the game. The story progresses pretty fine, cutscenes are not overly long, and random encounters seem balanced as well. I have 5 party members so far. Besides, in Fairy Fencer F, I’ve amassed 35 million gold so far. I am playing it now only while watching some other stuff on TV or streaming channels, which is like 1-2 hours per week or so . So I think, I might get closer to the 100 million by the end of the summer.

Yay, more mobile cancer getting into gaming.

Also at 15th July will be released WH40k: Battlesector, I've seen few preview videos, and my first impressions are great, this has the potential to become the best WH40k game released. Now the throne is IMHO in the hands of Mechanicus. I am really curious, how this plays out... https://www.gog.com/game/warhammer_40000_battlesector

Most of them are self-contained. It is action-rpg equivalent of Final Fantasy. There are currently only three direct sequels. Xillia 1 and 2, Destiny 1 and 2 and Symphonia with Dawn of the New World. And one very close tie-ins for Zestiria and Berseria (same world but 1000 years appart) and very loose tie-in between Phantasia and Symphonia games. Of course a lot of these games have cameo battles and cameo minigames, which are inspired by previous games, but you do not need to know the backstory to be successful at them. You can randomly pick a game from the big number of titles, and can have fun with it, without any prior knowledge. My only recommendations would be, that do not start with second game from the three twins, I've mentioned. I have randomly picked Tales of Graces F on sale in local brick store, and was so impressed, that I have slowly purchased all the titles available in Europe. Including one Vita exclusive game, for which I've purchased PlayStation TV If you would be interested in trying out the franchise, I can help you out, which game to pick first

I thought, this was already introduced in Randoms Video News So I did not wanted to spam the thread I am really excited In other news, there will be in few weeks released final fan translation patch for japanese PS2 Classic Tales of Destiny DC, on which I have participated in translating of few Artes and Enemies

Unfortunately so far console exclusive game. But seeing Yakuza PC treatment lately, it might com to PC at some point as well...

I got strong Law Abiding Citizen vibe from the footage, and it will be available on PS4 So no need to upgrade, yay. The only issue I have, it will be released close to Tales of Arise release date

In your last sentence, you completely nailed it. Despite the fact, I've never played the game, it provided me so much entertainment through reading/viewing reviews and comment sections, that I really can't complain about the game at all Best 60 EUR I've never spent

I would love to, but I am on waiting list for my ordered RT card since February So my new lovely AMD 5900X computer is currently powered by NVIDIA GTX760 card The term Bottlenecking, got a completely new meaning

IMHO, that award was unjustified, Ghost of Tsushima was better game in every single aspect. To me it seems, that the jury was afraid of what would Twitter/SONY say, or they just wanted to show the message to “gamers”, who criticized it... It’s similar to Oscars and DiCaprio’s The Revenant. Everybody was expecting him to win, so the jury passed it. Even though there were better movies, and from all his nominations, this one of his weakest movie...

I have started today Tales of Legendia. The pace is not fast, but not slow as well. After a hour, I got few cutscenes and skits, and I am still in first city, but it does not feel like a slog. Random encounters are not too frequent, so I hope it stays this way in the foreseeable future. In the meanwhile, I am up to 30 million Gold at Fairy Fencer F. 70 more to go for Platinum Also tomorrow, I’ll be organizing final multiclass race for second season of Racing Academy in Assetto Corsa, and on Thursday, I’ll finish my first season as a sim racing commentator in two local Czech and Slovak Racing Leagues for Trained Monkey Modding group And I will finally have a little bit more time until september, when next racing season will start

Just to make it clear, my rant was by no means directed at you or your opinion. I just needed to vent little bit off, because some people people are actively trying to kill some of the last straws of fun, and it poisons everything around. Anyway back to TLoUII. I completely agree, that bashing this game solely on appearance of Abby is utterly stupid and ridiculous. If taken all realism into account, it might be kind of difficult for anyone to be in such a shape in postapoc world, but well, if I want to play games for their realism, I boot up Assetto Corsa... Games should be fun, and every person has it’s own measurement for fun. If you had fun with TLoUII, thats good. I am happy for you. Lot of games are made just to squeeze as much money out of players pockets as possible, and with that, fun goes away. I prefer different kind of games, and I understand people, who had valid criticism for this game as well. One of the good things which this game brought to all of us, was endless stream of memes during the first few weeks after a release especially from the people, who were mocking both of the two bat****crazy sides of this argument

Go and play Tales of Symphonia or Tales of Rebirth. Some people are labeling them, especially Tales of Rebirth, as racist games. Which makes as much sense as labeling any movie about post WWI Germany as racist movie... You find very hard similar themes in any western games...

It is overgeneralization, and yes there is a lot of scum going around, but FYI, I do not enjoy neither TLoU nor TLoUII, and not because Abby... And I feel offended when someone is labeling me with such labels, because nothing is further from the truth, I would hate both of the games same, even if Abby looked like Jessica Alba... And there were a lot of good YT reviews, which were pointing to a lot of flaws of both games, without the reviewers ever playing the gender card, and these people were labeled as misogynists/transphobic etc, as well... IMO, both of the ends of the spectrum are the vile scum of gaming community... Let me go back to Kingdom Come... I do not like the game as well, but me being of Slavic origin, and knowing a little bit about our local history, I know more stuff about the time period of the piece than most of that vile scum... The game also changed into inclusion/racist propaganda, which is just wrong... People thrown **** on the game, because there were no blacks. Historic fact is, there were absolutely no blacks at rural areas in central Europe at that time. But there were a lot of people of Finno-Ugric, Turkic, Arab origin, which could be identified by current standards as people of colour, and AFAIK, these people were represented enough in the game. Still the people were throwing **** for not including different races, which had absolutely no historic background at rural areas. On the other hand, a lot of people took the game as a white supremacy propaganda, which were also omitting the fact of people of Finno-Ugric, Turkic, Arab origin being in the game as well. For me both of the sides were equally disgusting. Why? Because it is one of very few games, which are about Slavs and their history, and because I have also Finno-Ugric and Turkic (Tatar) ancestors besides others. I hate that racist took this game as a opportunity to slander People of Colour, and I also hate, that some uneducated chumps have used the game as anti-gamer propaganda because this was one of the few games which have no black characters. So should I now start a Twitter account and try to cancel maybe Ubisoft for not including Tatar people in their Assassin Creed Valhalla and call them the puppets of Putin's propaganda, because with not including them, they are supporting the oppression of Tatar people in annexed Crimea, completely ignoring the facts, that there is no historic evidence of my ancestors ever setting a foot there at the time, when the story of that game is happening or what? Sorry for the wall of text, but I am really tired how both sides are actively twisting all of the facts, to bolster their own crusade against rational thinking, and labeling all the people who might have little bit different opinions with all the different -isms...

Well, that's what you get, when trying to cater to the ever-so-divisive echo chambers of social media. On one hand you get what you've described, on the other hand you've get insulted as a homo/transphobic and misogynist, if you dared to say loud, that you did not enjoyed the story as much as you enjoyed the story of the first game . Just look at how many deaththreats got the developers of Kingdoms: Come from uneducated plebs, who had no clue, that Cumans are considered by today's standards as People of Colour, that the game lacked diversity...

IIRC, it is possible to change camera speed in newer Tales of games.

Still playing the Fairy Fencer F for Playstation 3. On my way to platinum trophy, I have hit a very big roadblock, achievement to get 100 million gold I have already 22.5 million, but the speed of getting the money is approximately 2.5 million in an hour, and I am still missing 77.5 million, you can imagine, how much fun it is I will go back to Druidstone: Secret fo the Menhir Forest from GOG today, and while playing some other games, I will be going back to it, once in a while. Hopefully I'll get that trophy before the end of the year

With this I agree, the process could be more intuitive. But as I said, since 2012 (I think) when I joined GOG, it was my first refund, and I found the way for refunding with few clicks.

Well for me, if a company has customer friendly refund system, it usually means, they are confident with quality of their products, and do not need to hide behind shady business practices to make a profit
