General / Re: FPS, RPG, SIM ... where are you "at home"?

Hard to say just two, but I'd say platformers and RPGs, specifically just turn based ones. The Dragon Quest and Mega Man franchises are my "at home" games.

Took what feels like forever, but Sonic X Shadow Generations for PS4 finally arrived today from PlayAsia which I think makes that the first game I got this month. Was hoping the game would've arrived quicker since Dragon Quest III HD-2D releases in two days and that game is going to be taking up 100% of my gaming time.

Modern Video Games / Re: "Limited Run Games" is Producing Physical Copies of Games in Limited Quantities

« on: February 07, 2024, 12:04:30 am »

Got LRG's final 3DS release: Shante and the Pirate's Curse today. The cart still has Rising Star Games's logo on it when they released the game physically back in 2016. Also their name isn't on the bottom of the spine. Thought that was a little weird, but I'm just happy to have a physical copy of the game now.

General / Re: What are you playing?

Started Yakuza 0 and Mega Man Star Force 3: Red Joker. Never played a game from either of these series and have been enjoying both so far (finished chapter 1 in Yakuza 0 and a little over an hour into Star Force 3). Inspired by Jeff Gerstmann ranking NES games, I've been replaying all the Classic series Mega Man games I own in order of release and ranking them afterwards. Twenty-one games in and I'm feeling a bit burnt out, so Yakuza and Star Force are working as my break games.
