I'm also not correcting the emoji up type.

I'm a badass

My Final Heaven 01-23-2018 08:15 PM

Just bought a 3DS (finally) so going crazy on 3DS software
Already got Legend of Korra & Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. + have been getting some extra hours so Metroid Samus Returns & Stella Glow are in the mail. So much portable gaming content to be had :o

Playing Dragonball z - Legacy of goku 2 on my Retron 5

Ultra Mantis 01-25-2018 05:00 PM

Currently on "Disc 3" of FF9 HD, just got the boat. Forgot how short the discs are on this game, I'm only at 25ish hours and I've had the game idling for a few of those. Alexandria looked like shit at the beginning of the game, the pre-rendered backdrops looked incredibly poor quality compared to the upscaled character models. Since then it looks pretty good though, dunno if I just adjusted to it or they actually put some work in after the opening sequence. Still :love: this.

Destor 01-25-2018 05:20 PM

Vi Vi!

ClockShot 01-25-2018 06:29 PM

Goin' huntin' tomorrow. :D

Monster Hunter World getting fantastic reviews. Destiny 2 can go away for a little while.

Ultra Mantis 01-25-2018 06:35 PM

Vivi is goat. Such a cool cast throughout though, gotta train up Steiner too to run that magic sword right.

Baku in HD is even more confusing to look at than he was before btw.

Destor 01-25-2018 11:12 PM

The game is so underrated. Similar to the reasons wind waker was rejected the art style turned teenagers off at the time...but its just so good...

OssMan 01-29-2018 11:35 PM

beat resident Evil 4 which was really good

now playing The Last of us.. well, it's good, but I liked the gameplay of RE better, despite moving like a tank. I hardly play survival horror games so this is all I have to compare between.

Splaya 01-30-2018 09:04 PM

Last of Us is an amazing game. I have yet to finish it (call of duty WW2 came out) but I am very interested in seeing how the story ends

Destor 01-30-2018 09:15 PM

Last of us is a true classic

Also if you are even casually into celeste its a must play.

Emperor Smeat 02-01-2018 06:01 PM

Rocket League on the Switch.

Came in the mail earlier today.

Heisenberg 02-02-2018 10:07 AM

Nothing would get done if I had RL on Switch, nothing at all

El Vaquero de Infierno 02-02-2018 12:37 PM

I think it has been 2-3 weeks since I last played Dark Souls; I will make some time this weekend to suffer many many... many deaths.

Fignuts 02-02-2018 03:03 PM

How far in are you?

El Vaquero de Infierno 02-02-2018 04:19 PM

If I remember correctly, I am at the Cathedral of the Deep. I've got some way to go yet.

Fignuts 02-02-2018 05:02 PM

Oh thought you meant the first game. I just started the second.

Ultra Mantis 02-04-2018 06:29 PM

1 > 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2. Still like 2, but it's just not there.

Ultra Mantis 02-04-2018 06:40 PM

Anyway, just finished Night in The Woods. Shit game. The thing with these "interactive story" games is that if the story is the draw, it needs to be good. This is really poorly written, plot threads that don't go anywhere, no resolution, shithead protagonists. Really got no satisfaction from it other than the Demon Tower mini game.

Before that wrapped up FF9 :heart:

I never had a problem with the emergence of the final boss or anything, still don't, but having gotten really into Persona lately I found it was really interesting that

SPOILER: show

thematically Necron has the same deal as the end bosses from both 5 and 3. That all life desires death and I guess at least 2/3 of the three are not really "evil" but they are an entity that exists only to end all life. FF9 coming in with the OG Persona twist.

Fignuts 02-07-2018 07:09 AM

Doing Heists in GTA Online with Heisenberg and crew.

Got to use the flying Delorians in one setup mission. Fucking rad. Definitely saving for that.

Bought a Facility recently and it's a great Bond villain lair, complete with space laser.

Gonna try and get a cocaine operation going, as I hear there is a pretty good cash flow from that.

Ultra Mantis 02-09-2018 03:50 PM

Finally got around to giving the Switch some focus. Been having a good go at Mario & Rabbids. Love everything about it, so much attention to detail has gone into everything it just puts a smile on my face to play.

Fuck Night in the Woods though still.

Destor 02-09-2018 03:55 PM

Im tempted to check out Mario & Rabbids DLC but Im just not sure how much value it will have

Ultra Mantis 02-09-2018 04:59 PM

I haven't considered it because season passes are such a vague proposition, DK is coming with a new world so that's a start but all the previous DLC is a bit meh. If they add at least another world and character minimum, maybe some day I'll go and sit directly next to my modem and see if I can get my Switch to connect to the internet.

Destor 02-09-2018 05:08 PM

Mine literally sits next to my modem :lol:

After hearing much hub bub, I'm going to try out Doki Doki Literature. First thing I see is multiple warnings about disturbing content and cautions against people suffering from depression playing, amidst a pink background with cheerful, smiling anime waifus. Fucking surreal.

I have never been this uncomfortable playing a video game

Ruien 02-18-2018 08:04 AM

Okay I watched a YouTube video on that game and wtf?

Fignuts 02-18-2018 08:05 AM

You should just play it. It's free.

Ruien 02-18-2018 09:01 AM

I didn't feel comfortable watching it on YouTube.... is the point about having sex in high school?

Downloading now

In the mean time I'm playing the first "Uncharted" game and hoping that the later games are improvements over this one

Fignuts 02-19-2018 09:39 PM

Uncharted 2 is pretty big improvement overall, yes.

Sepholio 02-19-2018 09:44 PM

Yeah 2 was a big improvement. 3 is pretty much on par with 2. 4 then steps it up again.

A.J.K 02-19-2018 09:44 PM

Sims 4 on Xbox one

OssMan 02-19-2018 11:12 PM

the doki doki literature club game is really great.. just masterfully written.. the concept of it being set in an afterschool literature club also greatly appeals and is hilarious to me

Destor 02-19-2018 11:23 PM

@jncharted one was uber meh. 2 is great, 3 is solid and 4 is GOAT

I wouldn't say one is meh. It doesn't live up to the sequels for sure. But when it first came out it was THE graphical showcase for consoles and was a really good game. 2 just topped it by such a huge amount that it's hard to remember part 1 so fondly.

Sepholio 02-20-2018 01:10 AM

Almost done with Secret of Mana remake. Just need to level up my magics to the final level as well as my weapons and I am set to take on the final dungeon.

If anyone is wondering....it is the exact, and I mean EXACT, same game. Down to the easy leveling spot for magic in the wind palace still being intact (I'm actually there right now to level my magics from 7 to 8). I'm pretty sure all the "exploits" are still there. Just has a new coat of paint, remastered soundtrack and voice overs.

Destor 02-20-2018 01:12 AM

Played one at launch and quite half way in. Found it very drull. Picked it back up once two had such hyped. Liked it more...probably due to my expectations being lower.

Destor 02-20-2018 01:13 AM

Also uncharted is way better with low difficulty. Games are blockbuster action flicks and you being in god mode helps that

RP 02-20-2018 02:02 AM

I need to buy a PS3. I got 4 games i havent played for PS3, but no console lol. The Last of Us, MGS 4, RE 5 and Skyrim

RP 02-20-2018 02:03 AM

Also picked up some SNES games. And a bunch of PS2 games to add to my collection.

Destor 02-20-2018 02:06 AM

3 of those games are real classics. One is a fucking turd. Enjoy the roulette

I've already been told RE 5 is a big turd. I'm still going to play it eventually.

OssMan 02-20-2018 07:17 AM

Play Resident Evil 4 instead

Ultra Mantis 02-22-2018 04:05 PM

I've been playing a bit of Horizon Zero Dawn, maybe half way in I'm guessing. Hunting robot animals is pretty incredible, as expected.

On the flip, Ashly Burch is a really shitty VA. It's not a game changer but I really don't care about Aloy as much as I probably should.

SPOILER: show
Also found it weird how all the interesting Nora characters at the start got immediately red wedding'd. Rost had so much more to give.


Still enjoying it though.

Fignuts 02-22-2018 04:46 PM

Yeah, the combat system in horizon is fucking fantastic. Love it so much.

Ultra Mantis 02-22-2018 05:11 PM

I've had a couple of epic battles against herds of Tramplers and Shell Walkers. Got forced to fight the Stormbird at the end of my latest quest, with no healing items available. Killed me several times then I accidentally discovered a walkway under a bridge where I could snipe at him relatively safely. Took ages though and if he even got one shot on me I would have died. He kept going de-aggro so I had to occasionally pop up and get his attention, absolutely terrifying having him charge at me as I'm loosing my arrow and quickly jumping back into my hole.

Jordan 02-22-2018 06:17 PM

Currently playing Far Cry 4, about 30% in, pretty fun, I really like the way shooting and running about feel, plus the colors are great.

A.J.K 02-23-2018 10:29 AM

For those playing any WWE game, who are your regular people to play as.

I always have to play as the Legends over all.

Undertale

Never been a huge fan of open world racing games. Find it annoying, having to constantly glance at the mini map to check for the next turn rather than just focus on the track.

Onto mercenary chronicles now. Ff tactics clone. Really good.

Um, who was the final boss for you? Because as far as I know you can't get the pacifist final boss and ending on the first run.

Destor 02-24-2018 06:25 PM

If youre asking if i had to beat flowery first yes. But from there you can just reload and get the true ending. You dont have to replay the game (and it was a shit judgement call to do that btw)

Fignuts 02-24-2018 07:05 PM

Still have some replay value in the genocide route though.

Fignuts 02-24-2018 07:06 PM

In fact I'd wager its even better having done nuetral and pacifist first.

Basically on a Dragonball kick with some Madden thrown in, I gotta start RE7 and Arkham Knight at some point since I just now finally got the Next Gen stuff.

Lock Jaw 02-25-2018 01:23 AM

With my new laptop, I can finally play The Tesla Effect. Which I bought when it came out, but then my old laptop couldn't run it good. So I started that yesterday.

Games i've beaten in 2018

Resident Evil 4

Aqua Kitty UDX

Bought it as an impulse purchase on the Switch since it was cheap and had the sudden urge to play a shump game.

Fignuts 02-27-2018 03:02 PM

Restarting FF15. Originally stopped at the "dreaded" chapter 13, back when the game came out. Been enough changes, and I've forgotten enough about it where I decided to start over. Getting to play some of the boss fights over again is a plus anyway.

Ultra Mantis 02-27-2018 03:43 PM

I really want them to finish the game before I play 15 again, so maybe I'll pick it up again in 2020+. Being optimistic there maybe. Curious to know if the patched in chapters get automatically inserted into a NG or they are strictly dealt with as bonus content.

Fignuts 02-27-2018 05:08 PM

If you're talking about the dlc character episodes, they are available to plah seperately from the title screen at any time.

Ultra Mantis 02-27-2018 05:18 PM

Specifically the free ones they released via patch, there's a Gladio chapter that happens in chapter 13 that came out while I was still messing around in post game. They said there were more coming, didn't really keep up with it though.

I mean, like when you get to that part of the story where there's a gap, is the previously missing content filled in or does the main game just act as if it doesn't exist? I know it's probably just main menu access but it would be cool if they made the story "complete" eventually without dipping in and out.

Fignuts 02-27-2018 08:13 PM

I dunno about any free chapters, but Episode Gladios, Episode Ignis, and Episode Prompto were 4.99 each

Ultra Mantis 02-28-2018 06:30 PM

Yeah, I'm not talking about the DLC.

Ultra Mantis 02-28-2018 06:41 PM

Just looked it up and it's called Chapter XIII Verse 2, and apparently it does automatically slot into Chapter 13 but you get the option to skip it. Doesn't look like any other full chapters were added but they have inserted more cut scenes into Chapter XII.

ClockShot 02-28-2018 08:23 PM

Chuggin' along in Secret of Mana remake.

Danny Electric 03-01-2018 05:48 AM

Lots of Rocket League at the moment

ClockShot 03-04-2018 10:28 AM

Lost power for a few hours during the Nor'easter that came through on Friday. Dug out the 3DS and fired up Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the first time.

And now, I can't stop playing it. So, Secret of Mana is on the backburner for a short time.

Ultra Mantis 03-04-2018 07:58 PM

Started Persona 4 Golden, can't stay away from this series. Seems more in line with 5 than 3 so that's good. I already know who the mysterious villain is due to the internet being the internet, but I've only beat one real boss and they've already thrown at least three other shady characters at me and I don't trust a single one of them. This is gonna be good.

Also

SPOILER: show
Velvet Room appears to be the back of a limo lol

Frank Drebin 03-04-2018 08:21 PM

No idea what to play after finishing AC: Origins. Maybe I'll go do some charity work.........nah.

Ultra Mantis 03-08-2018 05:49 PM

Destor you need to start P4 soon, if only to meet the Hermit.

Destor 03-08-2018 05:58 PM

Hmmmmmmmm...you got my interest

Fignuts 03-08-2018 06:19 PM

I don't know why they put friendly fire for magic spells in FF15 when there is seemingly no way to use them without hitting your entire group as well. Even using Ignis' regroup skill doesnt work, as the monsters are right back on top of you by the time you can move freely again.

Fuck em I guess. Just gonna have to grin and bear my poison lightning spell or whatever.
