Book 3 was bit tough with the noodle, but I just kinda ignored and kept on going. Very enjoyable. Finished book 3 yesterday and already jumped into book 4.

I can understand it to a degree. There's a lot of other non-football infrastructure that needs to be build and upgraded as well. I'm sure no one wants to be kept holding the bag, but they're certainly more conservative than I was expecting.

I wish I could’ve snagged a physical copy before they skyrocketed in price. Hopefully there will be a reprint one day.
They promised that they'll keep printing more copies of it. I wasn't going to chance it because it was incredibly odd that they weren't taking preorders for it. Didn't like that one at all.

Reading some things saying that some of these devs are ex-ubisoft devs. Possible since French based.
Lol at ubi if true.
Makes you realize how much good talent is wasted in the giant corporate game companies. :lol:

I went ahead and ordered a physical copy. Won't get to it for a while, but I'm glad they seemed to have put a lot of care into it.

I see. It's kinda hard to base many recommendations off that, but I'll list a few that I think are just very good.
Vagabond
Berserk (very dark fantasy, may not be to your taste as intro to medium)
Vinland Saga
20th Century Boys
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Witch Hat Atelier
I highly recommend using a website like MAL as resource. It has a huge database and you'll be able to find recommendations and rankings by users.
Highest rated Manga - LINK
Recommendations Based off Nausicaa - LINK
If you want something a bit easier to get into, then I'd probably recommend something like Fullmetal Alchemist or One Piece.

What type of genres are you interested in?
I have not read any adaptations of Ghibli films to answer that question.

I think you could also accomplish the same thing by self destructing?

Theft of Swords is the consensus starting point.

Right on. Sounds fun. Weird story like Nier? I got to the end of the first playthrough, discovered I'd have to do it all again, and quit.
It's not quite the same thing though. I understand that it's unorthodox, but it does go fairly quickly and you learn a lot of new things getting Ending B.

While I enjoyed the start more than malazan book 1, I’m also a big WoT fan.
Nearly done with part 2. Have 3 or 4 more chapters left

Finished Crown Conspiracy and moved right on to the next part. Really enjoyed it. I always forget how much I enjoy a more grounded medieval fantasy book.

I really liked them a lot. If you liked FF 10, then you'll probably find some things to like in 13 as well.
I do think that the years are kinder to the series than it was at launch.

That's why they can have a mega flop generation like the Wii-U and keep going strong.
The Wii U's failure was also propped up by an extremely successful handheld (end of DS/start of 3DS) and their most successful console ever right before it.
Nintendo will be fine in the long run, but it's ok to criticize Nintendo regardless of whether or not their alleged missteps lead to bankruptcy.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the Switch 2 will play Switch 1 games via emulation. The hardware is so different it can't play them natively.
Also the majority of Switch 2 physical versions of old switch 1 titles actually come with the switch 1 cart and a download code for the switch 2 version. It's like they didn't want to produce switch 2 physical versions of the older games, the switch 2 versions are basically digital only and it lets them use up of the old switch 1 physical stock. Kinda weird, something to be aware of for the physical media crowd.
If this turns out to be true, I will be pretty upset. Would be a very weird decision as Cyberpunk has said that it will have the full game on a cart. Not a download code.

Switch 2 will sell minimum 75m consoles in it's lifetime. It will be another success,
Considering the consolidation of their handheld and console offerings, I would think that roughly halving sales from OG switch would be a failure. :lol:
I'm on the wait and see camp. Lots of very questionable decisions about Switch 2 (no OLED screen, worse battery life than Switch 1, $80 games), but as long as the quality is there, it'll find some type of audience.

I may have missed it in this thread but I'm surprised people aren't going crazy about Silksong showing up.
Game has been vaporware for a decade. The hype long since gone.
As for Switch 2, still shocked they're going to charge $80 for digital games. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Still early. I’m on chapter 3 I think? I looked and saw that part 1 was only 10 chapters, so I should make it through pretty quickly.

Got it! I have it downloaded and I’ll probably start that this weekend!

That would make The Crown Conspiracy the place to start?
