Play the campaigns as a Thief leader; the additional city options are worth it.

Okay, I will put it on my wish list and wait for it to go on sale and then buy it.
Regarding Live A Live, glad to hear it. What has been your favorite storyline so far?
Mine is the near future story as I loved all the Japanese anime tropes

It was actually the far future chapter. I'm a fan of Alien and Aliens, so it was pretty cool that the whole chapter was an homage to the first movie (mixed with 2001 Space Oddysey with a rouge AI). Plus it was nice to have a chapter that does something different than the other chapters, keeps things fresh.
Cube was definitely in my party in the final chapter, it's a pretty damn busted character.
That was also an interesting story and I enjoyed it a lot going the first time through it. Indeed a very good mix of both Alien and 2001.
Its been a while since I played Live A Live so I don't recall if Cube was overpowered or not.
The Cowboy chapter was also very different compared to the other campaigns.

It's a tanky character with high damage and it can also heal. My party was the cowboy, the ninja and cube, made short work of the final chapter.
Beat the main story of Dragon Quest 3 remake. It's the Dragon Quest shit i love, so obviously had a lot of fun. Plenty of story segments that weren't in the original, gives the story and characters more weight.
Now to go for the postgame stuff, apparently there's a bunch of shit to do.
Oh damn, Dragon Quest. I have forgotten about those. The first one for NES is the first RPG I've ever played I think.
Completed Elden Ring, 100% blind playthrough, it took me 78 hours.

Getting a bundle remake with 2 that comes out this October, definitely getting that. I think old NES games are some of the best examples for modern remakes, specially if they are in a long running series, just to see how it is with all the improvements of the sequels.
The remake of the first one is the one i'm most interested about, specially since they have shown that fights are no longer just one on ones.
I honestly don't remember much of that game except for some vague images. I was maybe 10 or 12 when I played it. I might check it out though, but with a backlog of around 50 titles, that doesn't seem too likely for the time being.

I personally welcome our feline overlords
I recently bought Manor Lords, so I think I'll be playing it for a bit, though I haven't started it yet.
Prior to the summer, when I played more actively, I really enjoyed Reciever 2. A very charming indie game for gun nuts lol

Well just finished Lost Vikings 2.
I made the experience easier for me by using save states as well as the extra powers cheat, but some of the puzzles and fights can be so annoying as your characters can die so quickly even if you try to play it as safe as possible. Especially the last level can be a bitch.
This Saturday I also gave Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business a try as I played Robocop Rogue City.
I don't know why but I didn't find it as engaging as the main game, finding it somewhat 'lacking'. There is something missing despite that the experience is the same.

After finishing Lost Vikings 2 I decided to get back to Lost Vikings 1 and finish that game properly.
Yeah I used save states again in order to overcome the difficulty as there are just too many situations in which one can lose quickly.
I want to play this game for fun and not frustration because the characters fall onto instant death spikes or electric currents.
All and all I enjoyed this game and only had to use a walkthrough a few times in order to progress.
I guess its now back to Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business.

Got Robocop Unfinished Business. It's more of the same stuff that made the original great, but it seems at least the PC port has a myriad of technical issues like stuttering, framerate drops, texture pop-in, and just models loading in the middle of cutscenes. They should have delayed it honestly.
If you're a fan of the original but still haven't gotten this standalone expansion, i would wait for patches to come in.

What I found comical was that at the start of the game it failed to load a model for one of the NPCs, all I saw was his hat floating in the air.
That had me confused for a moment until I realized what was going on.
It gave me a good laugh but it's indeed disappointing that these flaws remain in the game.
How far are you by now?

The cutscene where Robocop reaches the OmniTower took forever to load, character models had only their floating head for like thirty seconds. Kind of funny, but really jarring and disappointing that they released the game like this.
Mission where you play as Alex Muprhy.
