Hi there! Nice theme! Is it SMT5?

The Witcher is... nice, I would say.
I have had no contact with the Witcher series prior to this, not the books and only recently the show, so I started here and now I am back here again. This is my second trial at beating the game.

So... I will not enter spoiler territory, but the story seems nice so far. It is very Eastern-European, with a very gritty view of the middle-ages, dealing with spreading diseases, racism, sexism, and the likes. I have the impression that religion will also somehow play a role in this, but I can't say for sure yet.

As a 3rd Person RPG you go from A to B and try to solve a rather interesting central mystery. Side quests and "hunts" got me side-tracked more than once and are generally rather interesting. You can also "date" women and collect their "item cards". A bit sexist, but it´s just a game.

The controls are a bit peculiar during fights, and the combo system is not super easy to learn. The fights are rather hard in general, and I have died more than once. There is an alchemy system in the game and you will spend a lot of time gathering herbs, learning new recipes for concoctions, learning about plants and animals, monsters and beasts...
The game's lore is rich and generally very intriguing.

I am now in Chapter II and just like the first time I played the game, it is a bit of a slow moving part. Chapter I (that starts after a brief tutorial mission) is much more straightforward and also visually pleasing, in my opinion, as you explore the countryside outside or a big plague-ridden city. In Chapter II (this is not really a spoiler, since the protagonist Geralt says where he wants to go at the start of Chapter I) you actually enter the plague-ridden city and I have the impression the pacing just plummets.

Nonetheless, if you are generally interested in this kind of game, I would say try it.
As you probably heard, they are remaking it, and I hope they fix both the pacing and the fighting system somehow. Maybe add joystick support as well, I am playing with mouse and keyboard because I don't think the Steam version of The Witcher supports anything else.

How did you gravitate towards the Wither game? Did you watch the Netflix series? Have you read the books?

Oh, and happy spring time to you too! =)

Joo, on ollut tässä pyhinä aikaa mättää tätä, pitkä peli huhhuh Ite en oo vielä päässyt Engageen asti, aattelin eka pelailla lisää noita vanhempia pelejä. On vissiin Engage vähän... Hmm, mielipiteitä jakava, mitä oon kuullut. (muuten, piti sanoa jo aiemmin, mutta hemmetin hieno teema sulla! )

you too, my friend!!! how have you been?

Hyvä kuulla, että eivät olleet vikaostoksia! Castlevaniat eivät mulle kovin tuttuja olekaan, joskus ammoisina aikoina taisin jotain niistä hetken kokeilla NESillä.

Thanks!
Same to you!

Are you still active here?

Kuinka Bravely Default II on edistynyt ja onko ollut kiva peli?
Huomasin, että olet hiljattain(?) pelannut Golden Sunin loppuun. Olen harkinnut sen ostamista Wii U:lle, kun alkoi old-school JRPG -hammasta kolottaa Octopath Travelerin 100% läpipeluun jälkeen. Suosittelisitko peliä ihmiselle, joka herkästi turhautuu jatkuviin random encountereihin ja siihen, jos täytyy paljon rampata ees taas vanhoille alueille?
Toinen peli, joka on ollut kiikarissa on Star Ocean: First Departure R Switchille.

Hey!! You're still here!

thank you so much! :D

Harmillista, jos Majimasta on saanut kuvan, että olisi pelkkä hupailuhahmo. Herra on yksi mun kaikkien aikojen suosikkeja.

Aloitin juuri vasta Bravely Secondin, joten Bravely Default II:n pariin en varmaan ihan lähitulevaisuudessa pääse tällä mun etanavauhdilla. Kerron toki sitten mitä tykkäsin pelistä.

Well if you ever hear "mard" (marde), that's how we pronounce it here. lol
Try these two movies: [Link] [Link] - The titular character Elvis Gratton has a really typical thick accent (you can actually compare him to other characters from the same movie who speaks a bit more "neutral" ) . It's actually a recurring theme through the second movie (like, he explains to characters from outside the country how to pronounce certain words). Xavier Dolan is rather young filmmaker and is pretty "canadianized" in the sense that he's a wanna-be American, so he'll try to talk as un-québecois as possible. He's only "Québecois" by technicality. You chose the worst example. lol
lol... That's some black metal shit haha I'm sure someone else had the idea before (not kidding like I swear I saw a band in high school with that logo).

Woah, it's coming for PS4 too? I didn't even know that! I'll think I'll get this...

Oh yeah I didn't actually get bored of it or anything alike, it's just that so many things happened and I wasn't even playing video games for a while. 2020 has been a really fucked up year for me. I'll get back to AC eventually. I'll just catch up every event from late-May to the date of when I get to it, I counted and there isn't *that* many.

Brighter would be a matter of perspective I guess. The normies are obedient when they're happy.
I mean some parts of MTL look old enough (Cathedrals, the St-Joseph Oratoire, the Old MTL, etc.), and Mont-Royal is great place to visit, I just dislike very much the urban parts and the heavy cosmopolitanism. That said, don't worry about not knowing a French word.
I'm not really invested about the outside-Canada/Americas so I wouldn't be able to tell you about that. I would believe there are far more than just 2 though.

I would expect cults/sects to form just about everywhere on Earth. Ever heard about Rael and the Raelians?

We love listening to the SMT4 soundtrack when drawing as well. It's very comfy~~
You're new to Nocturne?

I was thinking of playing them in order of release (but with each updated version/remake), so that's my plan. :P

Got a lot of other video game-related stuff coming as well, as soon as I'm done with the current grindcore/harsh noise stuff I have going on atm (currently making a split cassette tape with Powerpuff Plushie from USA).

Thank you... and about that... the situation in QC sucks atm. We're having our first curfew in history, and it really sucks. I like to take walks but only at night and rarely go out during day so it's like incarceration for me a bit.

Yeah I love QC City the old QC... I'm impressed that you're not one of those "oh I wanna go to Montreal!!!" people. Montreal is the place you want to visit when you don't care about QC. It's like a smaller New York.

Mahtava juttu, jos olet tykännyt Kiwami 2:sta! Ryuji on erinomainen hahmo.
Suosittelen pelaamaan Yakuza 0:n loppuun ennen kuin pelaat Majima Sagan Kiwami 2:ssa. Tunnelataus menee varmaan aika lailla ohi, jos ei tiedä riipaisevia taustoja.

Itselläni sarjasta seuraavana vuorossa Yakuza 3 Remastered, odottelee jo valmiiksi asennettuna Game Passista.

I'm still doing both normal digital painting *and* pixel art! :D I have another Muramasa-related thing coming up soon, too... And thanks again~~ c:

That sounds fun~ I still have yet to get into Yakuza but I got a couple of games for free thanks to PS+ (namely Kiwami 1) so I might try to do that as well soon too.
That's tough... People say they feel lonelier ever since confinement is on but I actually feel less lonely because I've already been a shut-in for nearly a decade. (I'm mostly joking... plus I have a boyfriend and it's actually very comfy all the time inside with him... )

No nyt on kova peli ilmestynyt backlogiin! Yakuza Kiwami 2 oli mun suosikkipeli viime vuonna ja iso parannus Kiwamiin kaikin puolin. Kannattaa harkita Yakuza 0:n pelaamista ensin, kun Kiwami 2 Majima Saga sisältää viittauksia 0:n tapahtumiin. En osaa sanoa kumpi on parempi peli, 0 vai Kiwami 2 - molemmat on aivan mahtavia.

Yes! Thank you very much! I drew it for Halloween last year. Doing pretty good~~ c: Doing all sorts of music and art projects more than ever before! What about you? What's up?

Thanks~~ I had a fantastic one<3
Good to see you again. c:

Kyyyl se aivan kunnollista oli. Käyttää hyvin juurikin videopelin mahdollisuuksia tarinan kertomiseen yrittämättä olla liikaa vaan leffa- tai kirjapastissia, joskin tarkkana pitää olla että kaikessa pysyy kärryillä, koska juoni pitää periaatteessa kasata ns. irrallisista osista hiljalleen kasaan. Se varsinainen pelipuoli sit enempi lähinnä tower defense -touhua, joka kyllä oli ihan mukavasti ja viihdyttävästi toteutettua. Oikein hyvä, joskin tuntu silti että hype paikoitellen ainakin omassa kuplassani vähän liiankin ylimitoitettua ja mulle Muramasa on varmastikin silti edelleen se paras Vanillaware. Pelaamisen arvoinen joka tapauksessa, sitä ei tarvii arpoa.

Hii, Sakuna is a really pretty game, the story is nice and the farming is cool. I really liked it, hope u like it too!
