How’s it solo? I feel like it’s pretty much impossible with a free kit, but if you go in loaded you have an okay chance, but it’s still very tough

Yeah, AI needs to be harder (more aggressive), but TTK is perfect imo. Maybe it can be made only just a tiny tiny minuscule bit shorter

Nice! The guy was too busy being a loot goblin to hear you break the vent cover

Exactly! Otherwise you’re not making art, you’re just building a commercial product, a toy. But even if that’s your intention, players often don’t know what’s actually good for the game. Players β€œdon’t know what they want, but they know what they like”, etc

Hey, #TeaseYaGame πŸ‘οΈ

This is BECROWNED.

A surreal psychological survival horror where industrial horror meets dark fantasy.

Branching paths. NPC fates. Harsh choices.

Eh not really, it’s not even in Capcom’s top 10, but it is huge, so my opinion is that Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes for PS2 should probably be more popular in the west than it is. But anyway, you’re arguing just for the sake of arguing

Me! πŸ€“

05.03.2026 21:29 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

And my entire point, is that I believe it should be more popular than it currently is in the West. Not to be the most popular thing ever, not as popular as it is in Japan, just more popular than it is. That’s all

Ok, so here’s what I’m actually saying. I was listing the games that I thought were lesser known. Now, for sengoku basara that’s not entirely true, because in Japan those games are so big, they’ve been influencing the internal tourism there. That’s why I noted the Japan vs West thing

7th Dragon - Wikipedia

No, I meant 7th dragon DS which was never released in the west. It only has a fan translation patch. Same with the original Baroque Saturn/PS1. Gyakuten Kenji 2 didn’t have an official translation for like a 1000 years, until a 2024 re-release en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7th_Dra...
