Wonder how long it'll take them this go round.

Play:

Suikoden Remaster (PS5) - Sad to report that I might be done with this
now. I remember that back in the day, I found the rock/paper/scissors
combat resolution for the big boss encounters (and the gigantic army
battles) really arbitrary and not fun. Oh sure, there are ways to find
an advantage, but they almost always involve save scumming, and that
just isn't entertaining for the failure state to be at that scale rather
than in the individual actions.

Want:

Lunar Remastered (PS5) - US-region disc due in my mailbox today.
EU-region disc some time next week. I wonder if the EU one is more
vocally supportive of Ukraine or something.

Bin:

Nothing game-related.

-KKC, who needs more time to himself to play.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PC) - tried Outrun in this, and got very close
to clearing it but didn't quite manage (probably crashing twice in the
final stage didn't help). I blame the hilariously implausible road
layout. :-)

So as far as Outrun ports go, in chronological order of boughtness, I
think I (still) have Spectrum, PC, Dreamcast, Saturn, Xbox, 3DS, PS4,
PS4 again, PS4 again again, and PC again. This slightly newer PC take
is a decent upgrade over the "real" PC Outrun's glorious EGA graphics,
though to be fair, it no longer fits on a single floppy disk. (Not
even sa_otr_w64.bin does, unless you count those 2880k ones.)

Want:

More Outrun ports, clearly.

Bin:

Nothing.
