This Week in Games - Death by Sleep

-Avengers: Oh right, this was a thing. Just like Square to announce something and then forget about it for years. I remember a rumor about this time last year claiming the game was an Ultimate Alliance reboot....then Ultimate Alliance 3 was announced. Talk about aging badly.

Bioshock Infinite long forgotten? We must have played different games and live in different dimensions, because the only Bioshock Infinite I remember is the one that some regard as better than the original, a game that still stands as a classic, and one of the trippyest and more intriguing endings in gaming in a while if not history.

and the enjoyable gimmick game that puts nintendo to shame, in Boktai.

Also the guy gave us PT, a freaking demo, that is still being copied, and leaves full games in shame.

I got into the Granblue Versus beta. No idea who I'll be playing as, because I didn't get far enough in my attempt to play GBF to meet any of these characters (the long, browser-style loading times between every click, even in the phone app, were a real turn-off).
I do, however, know that I'll be missing sleep to play it, because the beta only runs in three five-hour chunks, all of which are inconvenient for my time zone.

The only Star Ocean game I've played through properly is Second Story, which did, to my knowledge, not have as much time travel as dimension/space/wormhole travel through sorta-kinda magical means. I did kind of like the idea that being able to choose between two characters at the start of the game had the opening segment (and various later events) play out a bit differently, although I didn't as much appreciate not choosing Rena meant having to give up one of the better characters in the game. Nor do I remember whether choosing her also meant I wouldn't be getting one of the others.

I tried one on the PS2 as well, but as far as that one went -- pretty sure it was the third -- I remember struggling with the tedium that was the battle engine before just ditching it altogether.
