I've finished Jedi Survivor twice. Went back to the game to beat the main bosses at the highest difficulty with no damage. Now, I'm on Fallen order for the first time.
I'm proud of this play.

you played them in wrong order mate, lol

I suppose it doesn't matter though, although the ninth sister's vitriol might have been a little lost on you, the enmity with her begins in the first game, but its not like its a deep storyline so meh you didn't miss anything really by doing it this way

I am loving Jedi Survivor, haven't played tonight though as I am unwell, i have until the 30th to beat it... that's when game pass expires... and I don't want to drop ten bucks to renew cause Dawntrail comes out then

I did buy Zee's experience bonus perk first thing though, that was a smart move, as I am leveling up fast thanks to that

Finished Streets of Rage 4 (on Switch)
I had a lot of hesitation before buying the game ... would it plays like the olders one ? As fun ?
And ... yes, the dev's made a good job replicating the old gameplay.
Basically is the same old SOR formula with better design.
Enjoyed my time, finished with Axel, and reding it with Adam, sometimes the new one and sometimes the SOR 1 character.
The game is not that hard (in normal mode) because how it plays : when you start a level, you have 2 lives to begin with (can gain more with scoring), and when you finished it even with no lives rest, the next level starts again with 2 lives. It's a clever idea !
Of course there is the Arcade mode, with 1 credit.
The only negative side (call me grumpy old school gamer) is the graphic, even super nice, I miss the old pixels ...
And the music, it's not as good as the olders ones, on my second time I'm playing only with the old school music (a great idea : a mix of Game Gear and Megadrive/Gensisi tunes).
It's a solid game very fun, even better on sale !

If you've played the originals game back then, you'll find some old well known faces

View attachment 352447
Of course, play it with friends and double the fun !
I bought this on release and played it co-op with my older bro + cousin, it definitely met all expectations.
What was also cool prior to this release, a few years back some dedicated fans made a modded Street of rage game which had chars from SoR 1-3, custom actions/animations and their own unique story as well. Forgot what the mod/fan-made game was called..

Even the Survivor bosses were in the wrong order. Did you notice that my first no damage upload was the final boss fight? LOL.

My main issue with Jedi survivor in comparison to fallen order is they bloated it out with more unnecessary exploration + side quest/fetch stuff which were just tedious.
It was Streets of Rage Remake !
Have it somewhere and it was great !
Ah that was it yeah, I do have it as well.

I think I might get that one. It looks like a side scrolling platformer with pixel art and a horror theme. is it short? Is it very difficult? I could use something short and casual right now. The last few games I played took up a lot of time each so something shorter would be nice (my backlog is getting sad I'm ignoring it).

This is a short game and might be up your alley, I give it a 10/10 personally, and Steam says I beat it in under 2 hours. Steam Summer Sale starts in 3 days I believe, it will probably be on sale for $1.99. Highly recommend to everyone really. It has a lot of unique gameplay elements, very creative.

Verry easy, short, veryy short, there is even at least one action that is not platform (adventure like) that unlocks an achievements, the twelve achievements are easy to get, if you do all deaths, i f you'll play better than me, that for sure will be the case, you'll miss some.

Sincerely i hoped it was good, and i've been really overwhelmed. The SteamDeck (OLED) tiny screen is well adapted for that game.

Also, the maniability is well done, soft not like Another World that always anoyed me.

Oh, that's right. It should be about that time, huh? It always sneaks up on me every year.

I've found myself buying less and less during the sales over the sales. Not because I think they are bad sales, but because if I want something, I usually just buy it outright. So there's usually not a whole lot during sales to get.

So I'm commited to finishing Disco Elysium, and I sorta get why people find dice games annoying (such as D&D, like what this is based on). It's weird how often I success on rolls with a 17% chance and how often 80% rolls fails.

For the record this game is much better than everyone says it is.

No seriously it is. It's genuinely the best game I've ever played, and more than that it's a great piece of art. It's an exercise in what games can be when it comes to storytelling. Sure games like Super Mario Bros, Diablo 2 or Crimsonland are better games (meaning mechanics) but this? I cannot believe it hasn't had a greater impact on game design and writing. BG3 gets a lot of love these days, but that game is a pile of manure in comparision.

And the music! And the art!

I'm pretty sure PCGamer magazine and website gave Disco Elysium GOTY award in 2019. So not sure what you mean by its better than what everyone else says it is, it won goty :roll:

No need to scream, we're right here :roll:

I just can't believe a game in 2023, a AAA game not only had native Dualshock 4 support, but even went out of its way to support the lightbar function. I don't know, that's just really refreshing, and I have respect for the devs. Going to go get my breakfast then start up Jedi Survivor again, I am expecting to finish today. :toast:

It is so much better than that. They gave the same award to Skyrim, and that's like putting "Fourth Best Welsh ass-fail Youtube Video of the Year" on the same list as The Godfather part 2.
