Such a great game, and such a shame we’ll probably never get to play the conclusion to its story.

The Armored Core trailers are probably my favourites:

• Armored Core 4 (with a bonus For Answer intro)
• Armored Core V
• Armored Core VI

The thing that stands out the most is the sense of how enormous and powerful these mechs are.

Yeah, definitely. I’ve still managed to finish it some 20 times but going in blind the first time really contributed to me loving it so much.

I’d also argue you shouldn’t look too much into the sequel. Not because of any “thing” in particular but because it’s more fun to immerse yourself in the game and slowly begin to unveil all the major themes of its story.

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
• Jade Empire
• Observation

EDIT: Jade Empire doesn’t really fit, so I’ll go with Observation instead. I’ll still argue you’re better off not knowing anything about KOTOR aside from being an RPG in the Star Wars universe.

Definition: “Love” is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope.
Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and strangely enough, not many meatbags would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticule, and together, achieving a singular purpose… against statistically long odds.

Just saw it, thanks again!

That’s pretty cool of you! Do you still have keys for Moonscars and Cursed to Golf? I’m interested in playing them.

If you want to play against each other, there’s always fighting games, if you’re into that. I’d recommend Guilty Gear Strive, Street Fighter 6, and Tekken 8, which are the most popular fighting games right now. There’s also Mortal Kombat 1 but I haven’t played it, so I can’t comment on it.

I don’t think the state of racing games is poor, it’s just that they aren’t as popular as they once were. And that’s ok, I don’t think we need a bajilion racing games coming out every year if they’re gonna be shit. But to answer your question, I think right now, there aren’t a lot of new games coming out that are new IPs, they’re mostly a continuation of established franchises, and are mostly simulcade or full-on simulation racing games. I’ve been having tons of fun with Automobilista 2, for example.

But if you want to go a bit more in-depth:
On the arcade side, yeah, I suppose there aren’t a lot of recent releases (maybe The Art of Rally? I think there was an Outrun-style game too?). But you still have Wreckfest, GRIP, and Redout 2. Oh, and Trackmania.

In the simulcade side of things (think Forza and Gran Turismo), there’s Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo 7, WRC 24 (could also be put in the simulation racing, to be honest), and the F1 games, which are yearly releases as someone already mentioned.

As for simulation racing games, there’s Le Mans Ultimate, from the rFactor devs, and a new Assetto Corsa coming out. Automobilista 2 is getting updates pretty consistently, and iRacing is still going strong and getting new content. Oh, and BeamNG, which apparently turned into a full-fledged racing game?

• Millia can sort of cancel her airdash into a normal? I didn’t really get what it does. Can’t spot any other new stuff aside from that.
• ABA’s Danzai now leads to a combo if it counter hits opponents on the ground.

EDIT: It seems that Elphelt can now combo into her bombs super, at least when in the corner. And the bombs stick to her opponent after wallbreak. Not sure if they didn’t before, though.

Sekiro. Friends tell me it’s one of the harder From Software games so I’m looking forward to die many times.
