Next day, it's time for... you guessed it... more copy protection! This time it involves a druidic code that you only get to see for about two seconds, based on assigning letters to different parts of the hand and tapping them. These days, you can grab a screenshot. At the time, you had to be really, really fast at writing it down or just use the manual. Sigh. This is immediately followed by a warning of the next test—that you'll have to track down a specific coat of arms at Nottingham Fair, but are only told the name of it. Where do you get to see it so that you know what you're looking for? Guess. If this was Fawlty Towers, it'd be getting a clip round the ear for being irritating and obstructive for no good reason. … [Read more...] about Crapshoot: Conquests of the Longbow, the Robin Hood game that didn’t suck

Persona 5 Strikers feels like a sequel from another universe and I’m so glad it’s part of ours
Persona 5 Strikers picks up a few months after the end of Persona 5 (with no connection to the events of Persona 5 Royal) as the Phantom Thieves gather once again to combat Metaverse skullduggery. People are losing their minds and a Siri-like smartphone app called Emma seems to be the cause of it, or at least the vehicle for it. Some suspect that the Phantom Thieves are responsible for this second wave of... well, not quite mental shutdowns, but more like distorted changes of heart. So to clear their name and put a stop to the mental attacks, the gang teams up with a loose-cannon investigator named Zenkichi, as well as an adorable AI companion named Sophia, and embarks on a cross-country, justice-serving road trip to address Metaverse-related incidents around Japan. … [Read more...] about Persona 5 Strikers feels like a sequel from another universe and I’m so glad it’s part of ours

Persona 5 Strikers is a good port and legit sequel, but demands a PC version of Persona 5
Something's wrong. I know this music. I know these jutting red and black menu icons. I know these faces. There's Ryuji, the lovable goofball who helped me incriminate a sexual predator. There's Morgana, a talking cat that I helped through a major identity crisis. Ann, Makoto, Haru, Yusuke—the whole gang is here. We spent over 100 hours together on my Playstation 4 last summer, which is the only place you can get to know the Phantom Thieves, a group of mind-invading vigilantes with a mission to make awful people in power see the error of their ways. Persona 5 is a great RPG, considered an all-timer by plenty, and we've been pining for a PC release since the dawn of its existence. … [Read more...] about Persona 5 Strikers is a good port and legit sequel, but demands a PC version of Persona 5
Weirdest spin-offs in video game history
Things really go downhill quickly. The game will chug when more than, say, three characters are on the screen, and the limited field of view makes it nearly impossible to play the field - a problem which the AI doesn't seem to have, mind you. There's also this ominous tidbit from the game's Wikipedia page: "The game has no ending." There's a paper thin plot, but no conclusion, meaning the blue bomber is likely stuck in soccer-playing limbo for all eternity. Maybe that's why we don't see him around much anymore... … [Read more...] about Weirdest spin-offs in video game history
