    #1 for me was Rocket League. You may have luck with something like Witcher 3, as well.

    I played some Infernium for a while last night. This is Pac-Man meets Dark Souls, which ultimately just made me want to reinstall Dark Souls 3 and try that yet again, so apparently I just hate myself, so there's that.

    For something described like that, it actually looks pretty good.

    I just dislike that it comes in a bundle so you can buy the game slightly cheaper, but one of their games are VR only which means I will likely never play it.

    edit: I'd be paying slightly less, but theoretically getting more. But it's a useless more.

    Fraan and Balthier do have a Chebacca Han Solo dynamic going on

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PWbXx2_yQo

    But the final fantasy tactics games that came after wards had the viera more tastefully drawn....except for the elementalist, although that was more bikini than Fraans outfit.

    Main character on the other hand.....

    They made a game called Phoning Home with a character that kinda looks like Wall-E?

    Survival adventure?

    They did confirm it's coming to Steam. I'm just a bit worried about them going on about Win10 compat without mentioning Win 7 or 8.

    If it works on Win10 it should work on 7 and 8. TBH I can't imagine anything that they would need, technically speaking, that would REQUIRE Windows 10. This is not exactly high powered software at this point.

    Also, I am getting me a linking book!

    @Big Classy confirmed monster status supreme.

    Unfortunately, I declined because I really don't have an interest in that game anymore. I think I would play it for a couple hours with Isy and then never pick it up again. Sorry for whoever gets caught in the shrapnel of my selfish actions.

    My favorite part of Final Fantasy XII was that it had a twink who ran around shirtless except for his miniature leather vest and a guy who literally wore a bra, but yeah let's all get caught up on the bunny woman's outfit. Character design in the Final Fantasy series is equal parts fetish fuel and belts, if you don't realize this than it's because you don't have the particular fetish they are targeting.

    I would like to see a JRPG where everyone actually goes into combat wearing some sort of armor though, instead of the modern FF outfit that is generally comprised of metal boots with board shorts and that weird rubber shirt/suspenders/bikini combo thing that Leeloo wears in The 5th Element. The last fantasy era game I played where I heard a satisfying armor clunking sound whenever I ran around was Dark Souls for crying out loud.

    Speaking of Dark Souls, the remaster news has kind of gotten me thinking about replaying the first game, but I'd rather chew my own dick off than go through Sens Fortress again. Are there any other games that capture the bleak, crumbled atmosphere of Dark Souls but aren't designed exclusively to sell blood pressure medication to gamers?

    I'm also thinking of getting a steam link so that I can play co-op games on the TV downstairs with the girlfriend. Mostly things like Overcooked and other co-ops. Any suggestions on which controller(s) to get? They probably won't get a ton of use for heavy games, just for co-op and for when friends come over for Mario-party style games.

    Just get an adapter and use an xbox controller

    Thanks @Spoit ! I'm thoroughly behind on PC games, I actually have no idea what this is. I'm expecting a happy adventure and fun times.

    Incidentally, @HiT BiT , Last Day of June was the first game I've finished since my return to PC gaming and it was wonderful. Really emotional (I won't say happy or sad, I know you've gifted it to others!) and I couldn't recommend it enough.

    Overgrowth crashed because my Sapphire 4580 is old.

    Told them I was happy they reached this point, and reminisced about the Vietnamese software pirates putting an iOS app of their game.

    The Gift-a-pult is down. Again. Apparently I have a bad power supply, and no amount of dusting is going to fix it.

    At least the damned thing is still under warranty, but I’m kind of pissed I’m missing the time I paid on ESO. Also, I can’t gift... at least I think I can’t.

    The camera doesn't focus nearly as much on Vaan's abs as it does Fran's ass. Also I hate both designs so it's not like I'm singling one out over the other. Fran has a slight edge due to being a better character than Whiny Babyman V2. At least Tidus got some kind of growth that I saw. Maybe Vaan will too, but I keep making it halfway through the game or thereabouts and I don't see evidence of such.

    My party is Ashe, Penelo, and Basch because they're better characters and have better designs. If four were possible in the party Balthier would be joining them.

    I have 2x2GB sticks of RAM in an ancient Phenom build, but it turns out they're DDR3, so no luck.

    If your CPU is (somehow) significantly worse than a Phenom II X4 965 I can just send you the board/CPU/RAM though.
