Okay, cheers I’m sure a lot of you have had a hard week, but take heart, and just enjoy yourselves here!
Mainly Pokémon. I never really played any of the official games, only some browser one when I was a kid. I don’t know why I suddenly felt the urge to play it, but it’s cool, I’m enjoying it. I just defeated the Elite 4 in Fire Red, all that’s left is the post game content, I think.
I’m also playing PokéRogue, which is pretty fun and PokéMMO with a friend, though we’re only 4 badges in on Kanto.
Other than that I’m occasionally playing Isaac, Balatro and For the King.
I haven’t kept up with recent game announcements so I don’t really know what to expect or anticipate.
The only exception is an indie called .45 Parabellum Bloodhound. This game’s trailer hooked me in instantly, I’m really excited to play it when it releases.
Here’s the trailer if anyone is interested. Also, the music fucking slaps.
PokéRogue looks interesting, I’ll have to try that out at some point. There’s another fun Pokémon roguelite that’s a hack of Emerald that I had a good time with, you might like that one too. https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-emerald-rogue.479406/
.45 Parabellum Bloodhound looks really cool too! Did you ever play Parasite Eve? The combat looks like it’s very inspired by that game.
Give it a try it’s super fun! I heard of the roguelite romhack of Emerald, I’ll definitely take a look after I play Emerald for the first time. Thanks for the link to it.
I never played it. I always heard about it, but never really looked into it.
Good thing piracy exists, cause I just downloaded the first and the second Parasite Eve games :3
Nice, I hope you enjoy them! I’ve never played 2, I’ve heard it’s pretty different from the first game.
PokéMMO?
Pretty soon, Nintendo will have its own MMO by all accounts.
It’s a MMO that uses the original ROMs from gen 3 up to gen 5 provided by the players themselves. It’s pretty cool to see that type of stuff.
Honestly I don’t see Nintendo doing a MMO, but I would like to see how it goes, lol.
They already have an MMO, but it’s behind the current play-test that they’re doing (they can’t divulge it yet though so you don’t see it on YouTube).
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
