Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Alpha: taxi ships are sllllloooooooow.

Playing Mass Effect 1 for the first time in years because I picked up the Legendary Edition I've been waiting awhile for.
And OH GOD, having to spend hours in the character creator because I NEED MY SHEPARD TO BE PERFECT.
Brings back old nostalgia.
ETA: The character creator has the Code system in it which was introducted in ME2. I'm not saying I'm tempted to boot up my 360 just to get my code but I'm not not thinking about it.

New Dad of War game. I wasn't as impressed with its predecessor as a lot of people were, but I did respect that it had grown up since its roots, so I'm at least interested to see where this one goes.

Chrono Cross remaster wut wut?!?!
All I've heard is rumors but apparently NVIDIA had a leak and the leak implied that SE might be working on this. The THOUGHT is spectacular.
-
@sunny Hard for me to believe Chrono Cross would get that before Chrono Trigger, but I'm all for a more polished Chrono Cross with a hifi soundtrack.

I just hope they release it on Steam too because I am here for this.
-
If that's a thing, I really hope they give it a full treatment. The translation work was pretty dodgy, and I'd like to see them give it a second pass of polish.
That and Suikoden II's translation.
I would die a happy Solstice if they retranslated and re-released that. But knowing Konami, they shall just make a pachinko machine instead.

Chrono Trigger is the superior Chrono.
That is all.
-
Well, yeah.
I'm not sure I would trust any remake of Trigger at this point. Difficult to improve upon it. Cross, as an early 3D game, has plenty of edges that could be smoothed.
-
You guys can have your Chronos.
I want a Xenogears remake.
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.
-
I am very fine with that, too. Especially if it has a fully fleshed out Disc 2 with 100% fewer chairs.
-
I KOTOR 2 that wasn't a hot garbage fire in the second half of the game because it wasn't finished and just pushed out the door.
I love Obsidian but goddamn they cannot catch a break when being given time tables.
Also, there's never going to be a Jade Empire 2 or remaster and I will forever hold that against BioWare.

I think it could be improved on, especially the DS port, but I don't know if that could be done in the current AAA environment. One of the game's biggest strengths is how tight and lean it is; it only takes about 25 hours to beat the game. The current "games must have two hours of content for every dollar of the price" attitude would likely ruin it unless you got in there and put in actors with voice lines and stuff to pad the runtime.

I mean, that isnt a universal rule.
The Resident Evil 3 remake was short as hell and did just fine.

No, hold it against EA because they bought BioWare before Jade Empire 2 could go into production.
Original is still available on the X-Box Store. So it's going to be a legacy game.

I got a mod on Steam, I think, a few years ago that was a bunch of restored content for KOTOR2 and I reaaaally enjoyed the playthrough. It wasn't perfect, by any means, but def made the game a bit better.
I will never forgive them for no Jade Empire 2, especially as it seemed they WERE working on one and then ditched it. It was probably my favorite Bioware game.
