@bigsocrates: I saw a guy with a Zune logo t-shirt yesterday and I wanted to shake his hand and thank him for his service.

On topic, I’ve definitely been using my space exploration time to catch up on podcasts and it’s been a pretty good time!

Yeah you know I thought I'd like it more than I do based on initial screenshots. Couple that with the fact that the action seems pretty uninspired and I'm not in love with the game so far, but I'll go ahead and finish it and see where things settle.

@eccentrix: A good question! GTA definitely is what comes to mind for me personally. Looks like original GTA is on there, but GTA 3 definitely can be added to the list.

Ah hell yeah, dude.

I added it to my wishlist on Steam. I can get behind any game that prominently features a pager.

Holy cow I'm glad you were able to get out of that jam, that's crazy. I'll keep that fix in mind, just in case.

Good to know that you really liked it though, that's awesome. I have not played the latest Pokemon offering as of yet, but maybe one day. Just seems like a big ole bummer though, almost unanimously.

@iphone_tyler: Thanks for the tip. I may just play this on Steam Deck.

I just stumbled across this game on the Steam store and almost bought it after reading what seemed like endless glowing user reviews. I then discovered it's available to stream on PC Game Pass, so I started it on my Steam Deck. I only played less than an hour last night, but it seems legitimately pretty awesome, so I just wanted to point it out to folks in case you'd also be interested in trying it out. It's on sale on Steam, or again, Game Pass if you've got it.

Seems to be inspired by Pokemon, but from what I gather just saying that is a disservice to everything else they're doing with that game. There's apparently a ton of depth to combat, Stardew-style relationship building, a very cool aesthetic and soundtrack, some sort of fusion system, etc.

Anybody have some significant playtime in this one yet? Looks like it just released late April 2023. I'm going to be digging into it, so I'll check back in once I've had some time put in.

Oh I think I saw that. You mean the scene on the Ark after it gets shot into space? I didn't realize that was not originally part of the game, that's kinda crazy. Unless there's also something else.

Yeah totally makes sense to show that aspect too, but man, having the body you played through most of that game in just be left alone in the dark was a haunting thought. Of course there was also the first body swap mid-way through the game which I chose to drain the battery from the original consciousness, so that was pretty tough too, and sort of set the stage for it to happen again.

Oh my god. I finally decided to finish this game after seeing this thread. I'd only played maybe an hour or so previously, and that was years and years ago.

Wow! Anyone who hasn't played it, please do. There's more to it than you probably realize.
