I heard it needed a new R rating because of the Yamagishi-san nude code. Rumour is it changes the whole game as well because he crushes the black car with his meaty member o_O

While it's true to say that we're a niche fan base, I'm not convinced the fan base is growing smaller or that there are diminishing returns for the series. As long as the games are available and work on current platforms, new people will always be coming in. Ultimately, people care about...

Microsoft are a software company and don't care about selling gaming hardware anymore -- they want GamePass to be on every device, and their games available on all platforms. GamePass is great value. I got a Series S a few years ago and sub to GamePass whenever I feel like it, then cancel it. I...

Yeah, The Longest Journey came out in 2000 I think.

I think a proper current-gen multi-platform release, on hardware that can actually handle the game, is a win-win for the series. If they can get in relatively early on Switch 2, as well, it may stand out a little more. Obviously, best case would be all 3 games coming to Nintendo for the first...

This video does a good job of explaining the series. It's an epic fantasy/sci-fi story of two worlds, one of magic and one of science. The first game is a point and click adventure (and has an awesome HD mod available...and I'd recommend a guide for some of the puzzles) whereas the sequels are...

My daughter finished the Another Code collection on Switch which I was really happy about because I loved the originals. They definitely made the first game more palatable for new players, as she tried the DS version and got stuck immediately but had no problems on Switch. I've also just...

Agreed, they're works of art. Like Shenmue, they often feel greater than the sum of their parts, with quirky, sometimes antiquated mechanics that no one would put in modern games, yet something about their slower pace and methodical nature makes them stand out and last much longer in your mind...

I just finished Dreamfall Chapters after backing it on Kickstarter...a decade ago 🕰️ Overall it was a fitting end to The Longest Journey saga. The characters are the strongest part. The story gets fairly convoluted but just about sticks the landing, with some awesome moments towards the end...

I think his points are almost all reasonable. He said it was a good, enjoyable game, just not a great one. I think the point about it not being innovative is a bit weak, because I can almost guarantee that if the game had a more compelling story with less downtime, the level of innovation...

I don't think it's too late to improve the quality of the VO for a 4th game. There wouldn't be many legitimate complaints from fans if the game had really good VO, and it'd give the game a better chance of success. Honestly, most of the characters in S3 were solidly voiced, if a little...

The "talk to everyone" aspect of S1 is great because the environments are small enough that talking to everyone feels achievable, and there are just enough characters with something to say that it feels worthwhile. By S2, that is no longer the case, and I'm convinced that if they took away the...

I get that you sign up for a long wait time with these limited releases...but when it's been over a year already and their response is, "It's planned for 2025 but that's just an estimate" with literally no other info...that's just bad business practice. I have to imagine it's because it hasn't...
