Bandai Namco Entertainment filed a trademark for the title "Also Sprach Zarathustra" in the United States.

"Also Sprach Zarathustra" is the subtitle of Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra, the third game in Monolith Soft's Xenosaga role-playing game trilogy.

Ahh, the digital future of having GoW cost 70e in PS store while only 55e for a physical copy from a third party.
Even if i saw it coming before digital became more of a thing, it's still annoying.

The reason digital prices are high is because of the physical copies. They start undercutting stores and stores won't carry their games anymore.

If they were to go all-digital prices could come down. (They won't though.)

Is it good? I tried Pillars Of Eternity and did not like it at all.

The dialogue is too pompous and combat was meh.

The Xbox One is the best console if you don’t care about exclusive new games

Quote

The PS4 has two new exclusive titles in major series that date back to the PlayStation 2 days: God of War, by all accounts a masterpiece, and Yakuza 6, a satisfying final chapter for a much-loved character. The Xbox One, on the other hand? Well, now you can play a bunch more old Xbox 1 — as in the original Xbox — games.

I don’t mean for this to sound damning, though. While Microsoft is rightly being pilloried for its anemic first-party software efforts, the Xbox One actually now has more to play on it than any other console. At least, from a certain point of view.

Probably the only thing you might have to consider is that you're going to be reading a ton of text, so a TV might not be the best option. Other than that, I'm sure the console version is fine.

I heard from big western RPG fans that the new Torment isn't a patch on the original... Kind of a shame since based on the screens I've seen, the setting is a bit more interesting than your average CRPG throwback.

It's not, but it's still a really good game. One of my favorites of 2017, though Original Sin 2 was better.

toku · « **Reply #19575 on:** April 18, 2018, 10:33:27 PM »

Pillars was cool and Pillars 2 seems even more refreshing with it's Caribbean/pirate themed setting.

Freyj · « **Reply #19576 on:** April 19, 2018, 12:36:52 AM »

Numenera is a great game and has one of the most memorable areas in an RPG I can recall. It falls short of PS:T but shit what doesn’t?

Pillars is also great but it’s an infinity engine CRPG. If you’re expecting something else, you probably shouldn’t.

The recent Divinity games are also both very good but I vastly prefer RTWP to Turn Based when it comes to CRPGs and I didn’t find anything in either outside of Fort Joy (which may be the best designed area in a CRPG I can remember) particularly memorable.

I have good memories of Syndicate so always been interested in that. Heard it wasn't great, but for free, why not?

Corporal · « **Reply #19582 on:** April 19, 2018, 05:52:55 PM »

That feel when the game you helped kickstart is out for free before you have even played it once.

At least the dev updates were fun. Learning how they did their mocapping was interesting.

Still gonna grab a copy, I think. Why not. Thanks for the info.

though as noted in the descriptions, Dave Halverson is vigilant in hunting for these and getting them taken down (though they seem to have been up for almost three months)

Nintendo's going to be sorry about that one I bet, although if their NEW TOP SECRET VR system takes off...apparently it makes SEGA'S VR system look like garbage!
