BacklAugust 2024! (Forums Are Dead Edition)
Luigi Dude:
I was hoping to get quite a few games done this August. I started playing Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, in the later half of July. I was hoping I could finish it by the first half of this month and then move on to several smaller games but things haven't worked out. At the beginning of last week a storm knocked a tree on top of my garage which had me dealing with things that didn't leave time for gaming. And then at the end of last week, I had an 11 year old cat die, which really made me depressed. So yeah, this has not been a good month for me.
I did start playing again the last few days so hopefully I'll be able to at least finish Tales of Vesperia by the end of the month.

I started playing Vesperia many years ago on the 360, but put it down because of other games going on at a time. One of these days, I'm finally going to get around to playing my copy of the Vesperia remaster...and the Symphonia remaster (though at least I've played the original there)...and Xillia 1 & 2...and finish Graces F's epilogue....and finish Hearts...and play Beseria...and play Zestiria...and play Arise...and play the Arise DLC...
Yeah, when it comes to my gaming collection, the Tales series is my dump stat. They're all so long and so complicated that I never feel like jumping into one of them. Doesn't help that I only particularly liked Phantasia & Symphonia (of which there is only one, and don't you dare suggest otherwise).

Ugh. My condolences to you. That's an awful one-two punch you received there. I hope things go better for your second half of August.

Thought I'd get one of the Supermassive Until Dawn clones out of my backlog, so I rolled through The Quarry.
Eh, it's OK. It's certainly better than I've seen out of this team's Dark Pictures series (the blessings of length certainly help there, as it allows the story to have proper build-up the Dark Pictures games don't get), but without getting into spoilers it is really kinda pathetic how obvious this game is at copying not only the Until Dawn formula, but its script as well. Supermassive also REALLY needs to update their performance capture tech, because they seem to have been using the same tech since the (originally meant for PS3) Until Dawn 9 years ago and characters look really super Uncanny Valley now (especially the teeth).
If you're going to hang the fate of your entire game on your tech, then your tech needs to not look as bad as it does here at times.

I am sorry to hear about your cat. I have lost quite a few in my time and it is never easy.
