Borrowed Sea of Stars on PS5, going to give that a try next week. Have high, Chrono-ish expectations on this one that I know are probably too high.

i enjoyed it but yeah i'd temper your expectations, combat is kinda meh and the story is decent but not amazing. there is a huge update coming out for it (free) with story DLC and coop mode and all kindsa other stuff

sea of stars feels like a soulless game compared to CT, i wouldn't expect anything remotely close to how good CT is in terms of characters and cool time travel shit

They had tons of availability to make the game, just insanely great.

The DLC notes said they re-did the intro so its not a flash back... sure, I guess... it really didnt need to be - but whatever that is kinda here nor there.

As some have not played it, I am spoiler marking some things

They start the game with, what looks like, the willingness to "be real" - your bro gets his eye jabbed out, and it stays jabbed out. Then he dies... then you do alllllll this stuff to des ex machina him back... and... like... okay, after all you learned and did and after everything you see in the events to get him back- your main characters really should have done something to actually stop the big bad... the big bad that you just kinda let wonder off, allowing the cycle to continue and leaving your world and others in a sort of ruined state... for once the "get the happy ending" makes more sense and the "it does not always turn out good and perfect" seems MORE forced and MORE convoluted.

They had many chances in the game to make things substantial, your bro's death etc. but no it all is sacrificed because they want this all to LEAD INTO SOMETHING SUPER MORE, all things that are very vague and kinda ehh all at the end.

Best news ever from Nintendo right there.

I pray to baby Nintendo Jesus that they either totally replace the music in the game or at least include a volume slider to mute it without messing with the rest of the game audio.

At least fix the fucking in town music.

Also Switch? Won't Switch 2 be out by then?

If it’s backwards compatible it won’t matter. But, games are often developed for consoles that are at end of life and even years into the next console, the install base for switch 1 is just absurd. Making it for switch 2 would kill your sales numbers. But like I said if it works on either, great.

Yeah I get that just seems like making it a launch title for 2 would make more people "switch" to the new console.

dunno how much I want to relearn the new mechanics for the new scene and content... I mean...maybe if it truly "fixes" the ending...but that's doubtful.

Fell of my JRPG play through after I got depressed from the PoE2 delay.

Going to resume Chained Echoes now and try finishing it before POE2 drops.

I had a problem that I tried to find everything right away in fear of missing an item in CE. But nothing is missable right? So should be able to go back and get an item I might have missed if its worth it?

Yeah, don’t worry about missing stuff in Chained Echoes. There’s plenty of opportunity to go around and get things you may have missed and it does a great job of gear progression so that if you did miss something there’s no point in even spending time going back to try to find it because it’s useless.

There’s a point in the game where it fully opens up and becomes much easier to go around searching for stuff in past areas, some of which have the giant treasure chests that are designed to not be able to open until you get to that point.

So about Metaphor. Our characters exist on a 2d plane so looking at a human that exists on a 3d plane they seem like monsters. Im sure there is a scientific theory out there that would explain it better but very cool concept.
