Someone posted a thread here about it recently, so it's been on my mind. Decided to finally give Terranigma (SNES) a go.

Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia are two of my favorite SNES games, so I'm not sure how I've gone so long without playing this one. Only a few hours in, got through the first three towers. Move set seems pretty limited (so far) considering this is often called "the best action RPG on the SNES". We'll see, but initial impressions are good.
 
Gonna pick up El-Paso Elsewhere. Had to drop it before cause the disc version shipped with a progress blocking issue which they fixed with a patch.

Really dug what I played of it earlier.
 
Bionic Commando (2009) - I was actually thinking about making a thread on this to see if anyone else here enjoyed it. I dunno what spurred my mind to grab this off Amazon, but I've always seen it as some weird, cult hidden gem. The reviews weren't stellar, but before there was Insomniac's Spider-Man, you had this game with the most satisfying swing mechanics (to me) since Spider-Man 2 PS2. The dialogue and story is terrible, but hey, Mike Patton plays Rad Spencer so who cares. It still looks pretty nice at 1080p too and the challenge system they incorporated that unlocked skills and upgrades was a really, really cool idea and it worked. It's a fun one to return to all these years later. I love that 7th gen man.

I did play and (I think) beat it as a rental back then. I honestly don't remember much about my playthrough.

People clowned on it for the reveal that his arm is actually his dead wife? and even back then I remember thinking it probably got more hate than it deserved, because it was fine. Just not incredible. Like the Nickelback of X360 games.
 
I'm playing Yotei and posting on my phone from my chair, lol!

Edit: Sensei Takahashi just gave me some objectives after I earned his silver trophy! PS this game has a high trophy completion percentage!

I started Hell Is Us and I just don't think I'm in the mood for this type of game right now. Especially when I have Yotei, Ninja Gaiden 4, Outer Worlds 2, and other stuff in my queue ready to go. I played an hour of it and I'm just not in the mood to wander aimlessly with no map and figure things out. Especially since at least in this first area, the layout through the forest area is confusing. I spent most of my time doing nothing but wandering and I don't want a "wasted hours" game right now. I want to play a game where all my time spent is enjoyable. So, moving on. Now to start Yotei finally.

Your spoiler is spot on and what an insane fucking twist looking back 🤣 Could you imagine the reaction to something like that today? Like back then people just thought it was dumb, but the game was really decent (if you actually played through it). What a weird time for Capcom too.

Grildon Tundy Grildon Tundy The Nickelback comparison is interesting. Like I don't really get it, but I get it 🤣

Will be working further on my Plat for Cronos during the week now. Hopefully I'll have the NG+ run wrapped up by the end of the week because it's a bit of a slog now.
