You could pick a game or you could try to come up with some confusing nightmare scenario for Wade to decipher.

Merry Christmas, D1Pshits. Hope everyone has a great rest of 2021 and all the best in the new year. 

[jaethos]

Having spent a significant amount of time in Spain I am very familiar with Christmas going until Jan 6th, though they celebrate that date as The Day of the Kings (the three kings). It's actually the day they do most of their gift giving. As such, Merry Christmas to everyone until January 6th!

 

Thanks for the giveaway!

[EternallDarkness]

Merry Christmas...I'm in...and I also can't wait for this damn year to be over. 2020 was a day at the beach compared to 2021 for me.

Will you be doing a separate Kwanzaa giveaway?

[crispy4000]

I think I know where I’m leaning, but I’m trying to decide between Tales of Arise, Psyconauts 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy.  Any arguments to sway me?

 

Note: I’d be playing with a older gpu (1060 6GB) on my tv. Giveaways, bundles and my backlog are already my games pass.

Are you leaning length to dollar value? If so I'd say Arise. But if that is not part of your consideration then I'd put games priority in reverse that you listed them. (Not putting Psychonauts 2 at #1 because of game pass which you don't have but still I'm putting that into my valuation )

Tales of Arise

That's what I'd pick.

[DPCyric]

Definitely in and as pet the usual picking a gift card (maybe weirdly an Epic Games Store one this time) to stock up on indies if I win (gotta prepare for that Steam Deck)! SFLUFAN you are the best 

[thewhyteboar]

Sol Invictus is the reason for the season. 

[TheRealSmallville]

Merry Christmas & Happiest of Holidays to all! If you celebrate, I hope you had an awesome time! If you don't celebrate, I hope you had a great, relaxing weekend!

[Brian]

Psychonauts 2 and GotG are both in my Top 5. I beat Arise and it’s ok. The back 1/3 really drags. It’s still the best JRPG I played this year but I don’t think it will be a memorable one for me. 

[stepee]

I’m not sure I could pick between Guardians and Psyconauts 2 they are both amazing games, but definitely second picking one of the two.

I have Psychonauts 2 downloaded but will wait to play it after I'm finished with GOTG and Fallen Order.

[crispy4000]

Thanks all, I’ll go with Psyconauts 2, which is where I was leaning.  [Steam please!] @Commissar SFLUFAN

 

Tales of Arise I’ll pick up eventually, I have other JRPGs to play.  GotG will wait till I have a better rig.

If you don’t mind tweaking, I recommend using Special K to inject hdr to it. PC version doesn’t have hdr (hdr is exclusive for x/s as a “fun bonus” for those systems for some stupid reason) and there are some levels that seem like they are cruelly designed as hdr showpieces.  Auto HDR does not work on it either. Making hdr an exclusive feature is really dumb and my biggest knock against this game.

 

Download Special K

DISCOURSE.DIFFERENTK.FYI

---

Special K has two different versions: a “stable” version that gets updated every 6 months or so, as well as a “test” version where new features and fixes are introduced before being eventually...

I used passthrough mode instead of filmic, thought it looked more as designed. 

 

[crispy4000]

I’m still running Windows 10, so auto hdr isn’t an option for me anyway unless I look into special K or install the development build.  Might need to give it a shot.

You show up to Christmas a day late and drunk and you don’t even leave us a period?

Eastward on Steam, including the soundtrack if it's not too much trouble.

 

Thanks

Which platform?

PC. Though it looks like amazon has the Switch version. I'd still recommend PC because ir should run on a toaster and I can get you the DLC like that. Plus Steam deck can provide handheld play if you prefer to play SRPGs on a portable.

Nice but I’ll pass because it’s kind of impossible for me to play games on pc atm (I mostly keep to switch/vita/3ds due to work and baby). I should pick this up sometime on the switch, I’m pretty familiar with the series but never got to play a localized release.

The Switch release is gonna need a JP or Hong Kong eshop account for the DLC. Though at that point it's probably better to just try to buy it directly for those eshops. I think the JP eshop version includes english as an option.
