I watched them launch a Vanillaware game on Steam for me at the Marvelous JP office and then handed me a controller to play it.

It's so nice that Project Aces bundles in a free game whenever they release a new Ace Combat soundtrack every few years.

I briefly forgot that the new Gundam game, also published by Bandai Namco, -also- has a main character primarily referred to as Rex. Win the hearts & minds of the people and put the Wings of Theve emblem in Gundam Rogue Orbit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SdE...

Finished Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve's campaign. There are several segments that made me think that, at times, this is the best game ever made.

Yeah, 4th season's OP is probably my favorite ReZero OP now. It's actually incredible on so many levels especially knowing the full context of all of its shots now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDGG...

ReZero, that's a fucked up place to end your 4th season. Announce a new season now!!! (They probably will - this is more a 'when' question & not 'if')

More than I expected! I left out the Ace Combat 8 info recap since that’s out and one page of the Sakura Wars survey results since it couldn’t fit in the post. If anyone is specifically looking for that, I’ll be happy to share it with them later.

Somehow, the strange dripfeed marketing for ufotable's Mahoyo film has all been forgiven because its final trailer (arguably its first "real" one) is incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1jy...

Congrats to Crimson Desert & now Ace Combat 8 for forcing me to update my GPU driver not once, but twice in a year. Also had to sort out SWAP usage allocation to stop getting out of memory errors on AC8. Other than that, it's been great so far. DW8 Remastered is now up for pre-load too. GAMING!!!

He gets better. As with most long-form shows, their main characters undergo their own personal arc and develop.

Digimon Beatbreak ruled!!!!!! It ended today & I think it was definitely one of the best Digimon series ever. Incredible show that stood on its own two feet without having to lean on any past knowledge of anything Digimon ever.

I've been informed that the Revue Starlight Re LIVE archive does incorporate AI in some capacity unfortunately. That's my mistake for not catching it before sharing it. I'm sorry.

I'm not entirely sure. I looked at the About page and it seems like it was a real work of passion from dedicated fans. I could be wrong though, but I want to have faith that it was. rerelive.2ertwo.com/about?lang=e...

Oh my god, people created a complete archive of the Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight -Re LIVE- mobile game that shut down years ago. It supports English & has the main story, event stories, bond stories, etc. as well as a card viewer & lets you play the minigames too. rerelive.2ertwo.com

Crossing my fingers that Omega Force doesn’t mess up the 2-player online support in Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered. I want to suffer unlocking everyone’s 4th & 5th weapons with my friends. That’s the real endgame!

Digital Bros/505 Games has decided to discontinue development on Armed Fantasia (Wild Arms spiritual successor by former Wild Arms devs)

To this day I still don’t understand why they ran a dual Kickstarter for Armed Fantasia & Penny Blood. It wasn’t a good idea on day 1 & its ongoing ramifications have been a disaster for both projects.

The next playable Mobile Suit coming to Gundam Extreme Vs 2: Infinite Boost is Re-GZ piloted by Amuro Ray in Char's Counterattack. The Re-GZ has been playable in the EXVS series before, but it was in a lower cost class & piloted by Chan Agi. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltEb...

I don't know how useful my opinion would be on that, since I'm biased and have that history with it. The best answer is try out the demo for yourself! I think a big factor is this has a lot of different playable characters with distinct movesets, unlike DWO with only the different weapon types.

Saw a pretty evil quiz & figured I'd share if people want to figure it out on their own or with others. See how much you can recognize! I'll put the answers in the alt text. Original source of the image: x.com/collon5675/s...
A picture that contains 16 pictures of different currencies used to pull in 16 different gacha games.

The answers are:

1) Star Ocean Anamnesis
2) YuGiOh Duel Links
3) Fire Emblem Heroes
4) Idolmaster Cinderella Girls
5) Genshin Impact
6) Fate/Grand Order
7) Monster Strike
8) Symphogear XD Unlimited

I think Omega Force did it. They did the impossible. Dynasty Warriors 3 remake feels soooooooooo good to play. It really takes me back & I love that they've given so many toggleable options to modify how you want to play it. Just a very, very smartly designed remaster / remake from top to bottom.

Wooooooooooooooooooooo they kept Xiahou Dun's weapons as their original localized name of Kirin instead of switching them to the more contemporary Qilin in later mainline entries!!!!
