Aveum is almost really good - weird weapons but also genuinely interesting replayability because of them; don't want to replay it because of the awful writing for the main character and one supporting character though. Tonnes of optional content too, but there's such a difficulty gap for some of it that people adopted Soulsborne-style strategies that exploit things like geometry and pathfinding bugs. I only paid a few bucks for it though, so overall pretty happy with my pourchase and time spent.
Speaking of time spent, Druidstone wastes a lot of that, but I'm still enjoying it - not Grimrock levels of fun, but still engaging enough that I'll come back to it after rage-quitting.
Doom Resurrection 3.5 and CD32X Fusion 3.0 (Arch-vile!) are out, and the latest PocketDoom feels pretty complete.
Junkrunner64 is pretty great and surprisingly full-featured for something built over what appears to be only a few months. Also kinda just makes me wanna play ReCore again... I really did enjoy ReCore.
Polymega Remix is interesting, but complicated - no upgrades for original Base Unit owners? No Remix capabilities for either Base Unit? I get the potential for abuse, so at least some kind of chart outlining hardware/physical-media/software/account/cloud validation requirements or something would go a long way to selling the idea of a legal and reliable backup ecosystem.
Neo Geo AES+ is neat, but will an MVS-to-AES cartridge adapter allow old MVS cartridges to run on the new hardware and how are refresh rates gonna be sorted-out? Regardless, I do appreciate that the launch library includes some of the traditionally most expensive titles, and I'd honestly buy four of them right off the bat if I didn't already own MVS copies.
Anyway, found decent prices on:
- Omega Boost and Treasures of the Deep for Playstation
- Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max on PSP
- Tony Hawk 3 and Wakeboarding Unleashed for XBOX
- Shape Up for Xbox One - I think that's all of the Kinect exclusives now!
