I guess I should play this; I bought the sequel already.

Posted on June 29, 2016 by baudattitude

Well, the Steam Summer Sale has been a little disappointing this year, owing to no daily deals and no flash sales and no metagame or anything like that.  Also I feel like I already own, like, 90% of everything on … Continue reading →

Lifeless Planet

Posted on June 26, 2016 by baudattitude

OK, so I don’t gush a lot and usually it’s because whatever game I’m playing has top-tier waifus to fit every taste, but OMG Lifeless Planet. The shtick is, you’re an astronaut who volunteered for a one-way trip to a … Continue reading →

A Mascot’s Not Dead While His Name Is Still Spoken

Posted on June 21, 2016 by baudattitude

So, we have a policy at work right now where everyone needs to use up a week of their vacation time by the end of July.  Nothing ominous there, no, not at all.  It couldn’t possibly be indicative of trying … Continue reading →

Ninja Blade, seriously? That’s the name?

Posted on June 16, 2016 by baudattitude

Ninja Blade is one of those games that must have been very cheap at some point, or perhaps part of a bundle, because the name is so ridiculously generic that I can’t think of any other reason it would have … Continue reading →

Gone Home, or, “I take my eyes off you guys for a few months and everything goes straight to heck: The Game”

Posted on June 14, 2016 by baudattitude

Gone Home isn’t my usual sort of game.  There are no bikini ninjas and absolutely nothing explodes. It’s one of those games, like Dear Esther, that gets rather uncharitably lumped into the category of “Walking Simulator”, and similarly it has … Continue reading →

Did I Actually Just Finish Bloodborne?

Posted on June 12, 2016 by baudattitude

Yes. Yes, I did. Going from “OK, I’m going to man up and try this Demon’s Souls thing” to, two months later, finishing the last of From Software’s series of rather brutal RPGs has been an interesting experience.  It’s made … Continue reading →

Cleric Beast Beatdown

Posted on June 6, 2016 by baudattitude

After finishing Estival Versus, I had three PS4 games sitting on my shelf taunting me from their shrinkwrap.  Two of them – Nights of Azure and Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess – are JRPGs that heavily emphasize the general bustiness … Continue reading →

My OCD Is Showing: Senran Kagura Estival Versus, Take Two:

Posted on June 5, 2016 by baudattitude

This makes eight total platinum trophies, three of them for entries in the Senran Kagura series.  Say what you will about the series, it doesn’t make you jump through a ton of crazy hoops to get cheevos.  If you just … Continue reading →

What the heck is an “Estival”?

Posted on June 2, 2016 by baudattitude

So, after a steady diet of From Software’s finest, I needed something a little more fluffy.  This took the form of two visual novels (Aozora Meikyuu and Sakura Beach 2), THREE hidden-object games (Enigmatis 2: The Mists of Ravenwood, Empress … Continue reading →
