Dark Souls is the Super Mario Sunshine of action-RPGs.

Speaking of sort-of exclusive Switch games, I recommend the Horberg trilogy which is now on sale.
Gunman Clive HD collection, Mechstermination Force and Super Punch Patrol. Just 2-3 bucks each and lots of retro-inspired over-the-top stupid action.
So I have a Switch now. Any good third-party games that aren't on Playstation that I should know about?
I already know about Blossom Tales, the Ori games and What the Golf. Anything else?
I'm gonna go all psychic on y'all and predict that the last Smash dlc character will be a Capcom character. Someone from either Resident Evil or Monster Hunter.
I was gonna wait to mention this until this week's Whatcha Been Playing, but do not sleep on Yoku's Island Express! On sale til tomorrow on PS and June 17 on Switch. Easily worth $5. It combines metroidvania with pinball and looks like Rayman Legends!
Wow, what a shitshow Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is regarding local multiplayer. Further explained in comments.
Anyone here know lot about FF XIV? Is it appealing to someone who likes traditional Final Fantasy, and not really into MMOs?
It's funny, just the other day I was thinking it would be cool to have a mall tycoon game. And today someone launched a Kickstarter about such a game called Mall Craze! Looks promising. I'm considering backing it, partially because (continued in comments)
My eyes have been opened! Geforce Now on Android TVs with games that have controller support is amazing! It's a great alternative if you want to enjoy PC games (and take advantage of cheaper PC game prices) but you don't have a beefy computer.
Anyone else annoyed by the lack of vertical split-screen in games? I'm starting to lose count of of the games I would love to play with my SO, but can't due to developers squashing two screens on top of each other, instead of a nice side-by-side setup.
The new Yakuza is pretty great, but it's also a little rough around the edges. So I wrote a c-blog about 10 changes I want to see in a potential sequel. If you've played it, check it out. Also #pettoid
Few things in games annoy me more than sudden RPG difficulty spikes. Playing Yakuza Like a Dragon, and fuck that chapter 12 boss fight. What were the devs thinking?! Now I need to grind. Groan.
Biden's reaction when he heard he had won the presidency:
Regardless of the final election result, it's still pretty embarrassing how even this is. It's like all the crap in the last four years never happened.
Florida man strikes again, it seems.
Man, Epic's whole account linking business for Rocket League is some seriously unnecessary bullshit. Why not just do it the easy way and let people log into whatever account they have/want to when starting the game.
Just realized that all the English Pokemon anime themes ends with "Pokemon!", and none of the Japanese themes do. I guess us stupid gaijins need to be reminded that it's actually Pokemon that we're watching and not something else.
Ubisoft wants you to watch their stream to receive a free game. But makes it impossible to log in to their service while stream is live. Result: Ubisoft gets countless of people to watch their stream and doesn't have to give anything away. Well played.
Question for Witcher fans: Could playing Witcher 3 potentially spoil major stuff happening in future seasons of the Netflix series? Like secrets about characters, or how the things will turn out many years later?
Found this comment on an article at Dualshockers:
"most players nowadays like dynamic and action RPG-like gameplay".
Uggh, I'm so sick of the animosity towards turn-based gameplay, not just from game developers, but now also from gaming journalists.
You won't believe number 8 No, none of the suggestions are to make it an action game again. Yakuza Like a Dragon (or Yakuza 7 or Ryo Ga Gotoku 7) is the first time the Yakuza series has gone full RPG. Previous games in the series have...
