  1. 2 main games for me at the moment from last year, RDR2 and DQXI. Try and put time into those when work/life allow but it's been a little slow going. Probably will be even slower now that I've hopped back into Warframe to check out Fortuna and last week's addition of a completely revamped alert/challenge system.

  2. Unless the peasant demo next weekend changes my mind think I'll be sticking to WF/Diablo for my co-op shooty and loot grinding urges. Game looks alright and I'm sure it'll have it's audience but I've not seen anything about it personally that blows me away.

    Did you ever see Waiting in the Summer? It's like the spiritual successor, it has the same character designer of Please Teacher. It's the same idea but the alien is a fellow classmate instead. I'd say check that out if you haven't and if you enjoy that you'd probably enjoy this show.

     

    As for getting it on Rightstuf there is a good incentive to pre-order because it's only $25. Looks like after it comes out it's going up to $40

    I have not seen that, tbqh not even heard of that one. If I get the chance I may check it out. I do remember hearing a fair amount about Please Teacher back in the day along with Please Twins though I'm honestly unsure how strongly the series are related. I just seem to remember the logos for both pretty much being identical so figure there's at least some connection. As for the cost, yeah it ain't bad but trying to scale back from how much I spent over their holiday/new years sales and I just spent another $55 this morning on some older clearance titles. Too many other things at present I'd place a higher priority on owning.

  4. Yeah, saw this on Rightstuf's site the other day. Never seen it and don't know if I ever will as it generally doesn't fall into a genre I care for. That said as far as "harem" shows go I did get sucked into the Monogatari franchise but that series has incredibly strong direction and a mostly fantastically developed cast of characters and I'm surely not going to find the same here. Not meaning that as a slight on PT mind you, just that there's a decent gulf between the 2 as far as perceived quality goes. Might be a solid pickup during one of Rightstuf's many sales though.

  5. Nice additions to the cast. Definitely looking forward to this. Been wanting a good adaptation of the book since I read it back in high school and if anyone can pull it off it'd be Denis. Fwiw I did enjoy the miniseries back in the day for what it was but even then it felt dated as a production. Only thing I ever really liked from Lynch's movie was Patrick Stewart playing Gurney Halleck.

  6. One that I would highly recommend despite it really being nothing like Souls or even a Metroidvania would be the fantastic Iconoclasts. Great 2d action adventure with a crazy ass story & tons of boss fights. Overall it was highly enjoyable despite some aggravating sections.

  7. Good news? Hopefully at least. That said any new debacles going forward, like all of D2Y1, are all on Bungie now. Let's see if they're up to the task. I'd like to hope so even if I've had enough of Destiny's shenanigans and will likely avoid anything of Bungie's for the forseeable future until they've reproven themselves on a fresh IP.

  8. As I don't tend to keep up with stuff as it airs I finally got around to 2 shows from 2017, Made in Abyss and Princess Principal. Really enjoyed the latter for it's premise/setting and characters and found it to be quite fun overall despite the underwhelming ending. As for the former, all I can say is wow. Really enjoyable adventure that I can't wait for more of. Also have to say eps. 10 and 13 have had more of a lasting effect on me than anything else that I've watched, including GoT's Red Wedding.

     

    Other than that just been going through some "older" stuff like The Garden of Sinners and rewatching a couple favorite shorter shows, Saga of Tanya the Evil (fantastic 5.1 mix for the dub, sadly the better VA of the jp track is only 2.0) and Bakemonogatari.
