It was pretty true back then; I'm just saying that there's a good portion of people who chanted "PS4 has no games", chant "PS5 has no games", and will chant "PS6 has no games" just because it's culture. Reality doesn't have to factor into it.

Doesn't matter whether it's true or why.It's just culture. Ever since the days of "the PS3 has no games," that phrase has followed the consoles generation after generation.

Oh well. I'd rather they headbump releases than for UNI2 to delay; I want this game in my hands!

And even in the absence of such, there's still the endless treadmill of improvement in speedrunning that plenty others turn to. Plenty to learn/adapt, as you remind me.
Maybe I'm conflating a little (or a lot) my enjoyment of adapting to an opponent, with simply enjoyment of playing with company, hehe.

I very much love the feelings of getting better and adapting to an opponent; you can definitely get better at single player games, but the process of adaptation to AI is like a short stroll compared to the infinite hike that is adapting to a human opponent.
I like feeling that the time I spent made me stronger rather than just my character, if that makes sense.
But co-op stuff is fine too. Everything's better with friends, after all. It's just the strictly singleplayer stuff that holds little appeal to me.

I remember when I was trying to get in, it demanded pretty crazy system requirements just to hit 40 fps on my index.Does DCS VR run more reasonably now?

Most other fighters just slap an autocombo or something and call it a day, but Capcom went above and beyond simplifying the button layout, too. You end up using the same number of buttons as classic due to the Auto button and macros, but it's still so much easier to grok than something like the Stylish mode in Guilty Gear Xrd.
Drive Impact/Drive Rush are driving me up a wall though, heh

Probably because most of what I'm doing is the renown grind, when I really just want to do almost anything else. Also been doing helltides when I see them and breaking the tedium with nightmare dungeons, but it's all felt kind-of whatever to me. Maybe I've simply grown away from the genre, though. I sunk a lot of time into D2 and D3 and enjoyed each for what they were, after all.
Street Fighter 6: It's been a couple weeks since this game launched now, and I'm just now taking a little break from the online battles to poke at the single player content. I think it's a little aggressively unchallenging so far, but maybe that changes later. I do wish every single fighting game came out with single player content like this, though; seeing friends discover the genre and the fun it offers, without ever having to stress over getting beat up online, has been amazing.

My only complaint is probably how annoying Drive Impact is to play around, but that's just part of the game, haha.

Akumajo Remilia looks interesting -- have you tried Touhou Luna Nights? It's a metroidvania with a very cute time stop gimmick.

Xrd used to go on sale pretty regularly, around $10 for the bundle including Rev2 and all DLC characters. I wonder whether we'll see sales like that again; they don't seem to be as common for BlazBlue Centralfiction anymore, now that that game has received a rollback retrofitting.

I've picked it back up recently too, probably for the same reason as you -- the recent patch -- and have had a lot of fun mixing people up with Dead Apostle Noel. I'm not sure how long I'll stay on this game, though, with Guilty Gear Xrd's rollback netcode announcements yesterday...
Is Azure Striker Gunvolt the kind of series one should really start from the beginning with, or does it make sense to just start on the second game?

But watching the trailer has got me deeply contemplating whether I want to jump back in for some casual shooting, haha. Portal looks absolutely nuts!
There is some grinding. This game comes with an insane amount of levers to pull, though. Among them are exp rates; it's not uncommon to multiply non-combat exp rates 2x or so.
But with the new focus on crafting and renewable resources, I wonder whether that kind of thing is more or less necessary.
