Wallet Threat Level

This is coming out for the PC too.

I thought it was already out for the PC?

Edit: Wow, I guess not. Tom has been streaming it so much I thought it had been out for a while.

Since it’s discussed upthread, does anybody want to take a swing at talking me into or out of The Bard’s Tale Trilogy? I’m in the mood for a game with party management and character creation (no pre-gens burdening me with their backstories and side missions, please), so it certainly scratches that itch. On the other hand, it’s a generation or two before my time. I am generally okay with the NES versions of Wizardry for what that’s worth.

Edit: Looks like I should have thought to check the Bard’s Tale IV thread instead for the info I was looking for.

Do you like mapping things on graph paper? If so, the Bard’s Tale trilogy is for you.

It’s something I’ve done in the past, but not something I’m eager to get back to. The remaster has automapping I thought?

Except the remaster has automapping.

I might still have maps from the original downstairs

Blasphemy!

I still have all my maps. All my Ultima 4 and 5 notes too. I grabbed all that from my childhood room before my parents moved. I just couldn’t toss them.
Too much nostalgia.

I saw Kentucky and got a little excited, oh cool Kentucky Route Zero is getting released to consoles this week? Then I read the other two words and went, buh?

I had to check that as I was blinking in disbelief, but they did it: they localized in English the (awful) semi-sequel to the yet untranslated (and wonderful, and tearjerking and OMG) Machi.
This world just doesn’t make any sense.

We need slow weeks like this to try and catch up on the backlog!

Bard’s Tale IV coming this week! Turn based RPG alert!

And a whole host of games coming to the Switch, no doubt. I have to admit, as a non-Switch owner, my eyes glaze over looking at release dates now. You really have to squint hard to find the non-Switch games out of a list.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Star Control: Origins is out this week as well.

@Rock8man is my wallet safe this week? :D

Based on your library, I’m not sure your wallet is ever really ‘safe’. You’re more like a running back that teams hope to contain but can never count on stopping :-)

Well, last week was the really busy one for me. Bard’s Tale IV AND Star Control: Origins.

This week, I spot Valkyrie Chronicles 4, Life is Strange 2, Fifa 19, and other stuff. Ooooooh, including Hollow Knight for the Xbox and PS4, finally. Next week there’s going to be Forza Horizon 4 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, so the big heavy hitters of the season are approaching.
