I won't be getting any of the packs myself.  First of all I think they've expired by now, and secondly, there are too many games I wouldn't consider buying otherwise.

I'm interested in Keep talking or you'll explode (or whatever the exact name is), a Fisherman's Tale (matroshka like puzzle game), Tokyo Chronos (just because I'm curious how well anime graphics would translate to VR), Dash Dash World (mario kart in VR) and of course Superhot and Beatsaber.  Mostly Interested in stuff that doesn't have you looking like a retard while playing it, as the only place where I can play it is in clear view on street level.

No such VR game exists, i'm afraid.

Not sure how many of you played SaGa Frontier back in the day. I absolutely enjoyed it, but it was painfully obvious to anyone who played it that the game was unfinished.

There were seven characters with their own storylines, but only five of them were completely finished. One of them never had his ending added to the game. In its place was a black and white "you finished, congratulations" screen. Another character didn't even have his story put into the game. Choosing him just let you play through all the side quests that the other characters experienced. And then after so many hours You found yourself at the end of a story arc that never actually started.

To top it all off there was actually supposed to have been an eighth character with his own storyline but it never got added into the game. He shows up in every other character's storyline, and there's a ton of concept art for him that shows up throughout the game. Whatever developmental hell happened on this game's production prevented his story from being added.

Anyway it looks like after almost 25 years it's finally going to get finished and released as intended, along with a facelift and some quality of life improvements to the gameplay.

That’s pretty cool. I seem to recall playing some of it back when it first came out but I don’t think that I ever finished any of the character’s storylines though. Definitely wouldn’t mind getting this when it comes out.

I finished four of the storylines back then and got to the end of the stories for the other 3 characters, but couldn't beat the bosses (due to a mix of difficulty spikes and not entirely understanding of playing the game correctly). Looking forward to giving it another go. The soundtrack was god tier back in the day so I'm excited just to hear it again.

My just started playing Fortnite again, so I gave it another go. I still can't get that balance of building and shooting, but I did have some fun with it. Plus there is some kind of crossover with Marvel characters and this is the best I've seen many of the look in a 3-D video game.

I’m kind of thinking that I didn’t really understand how to play the game correctly as well. I just vaguely remember playing it. Probably just tried a few of the characters for a bit then just gave up and ended up trading it towards getting some other game. Would like to give it a better go with this updated version.

There seems to be a big fuss about the whole game becoming a big advert for Marvel.  I remember the deal would be lasting for multiple years?

Bought the fisherman's tale and keep talking. Wanted to get the kart racer, but then the quests battery died.  Hrm

Could be, but honestly fortnite hasn't been on my radar for over a year so I really haven't paid any attention. However, Galactus is supposed to appear sometime in the game sometime in the near future, so I get the feeling they have regular marvel universe events going on. If that's the case, been a long-term deal would make sense.

Yes, I played it and this was how I recalled it as well.  I really need to get back into JRPGs.

okay, just so I understand this, every member of the household has to have their own online account and a family account provides this?
