Just beat Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition on Xbox One. I really liked it a lot, beat the game pretty quick but I played long hours. It's A LOT like GTA V but, different in that it's more focused, the world is less open, and the combat is a lotbetter. I also personally like the driving a lot better as well, I'm a much better driver in Sleeping Dogs than GTA.
It's basically a Kung Fu GTA, and you're an undercover cop so you're not as compelled to be a rampaging psychopath. One funny moment though when I went to the hospital two doctors were overheard saying "Yeah I don't know what's been going on the last few days, it's like someone is actually looking for people to run over with their car!"...

Totally recommend it if you haven't played it. The martial arts combat is really fun and makes you feel like Bruce Lee defeating up to 20 enemies at the same time with only your hands, feet, and bad ass environmental moves.

Currently playing Rise of Tomb Raider because I'm getting bored with Fallout 4.

Still playing FF15

just got Ramuh and am going to retrieve the regalia from the base

main criticism from this game from what I've seen is the story, but so far I find it better and more engaging than most of the FF games from recent years.

5 and 6 are the only good stories in the franchise. So odd it gets known for amazing story telling when at absolute most there are 4 games people routinely bring up about ffs story. (6,7,8,10)

Good leveling systems. Great score. Thats FF. AND 15 DELIVERS.

Story gives you just enough reason to continue playing the game.

Speaking of great scores being able to play any of the ff scores at will is great. Ff13s score is top class and makes ff15 better.

Ultemecia is an underrated villain. Liked her a lot. Amazing multi stage Final battle, with multiple awesome tracks

Wasn't able to get into FF13's score from what I heard, but I didn't play it long. Might go back to it, just for the sake of giving it another chance if it comes to BC or if there is a remaster.

Still hoping for a square/Nintendo deal where all the non-online FF games get ported to switch.

Also, yeah, 6 had the best story so far.

Kefka chucking the emperor is still one of the most shocking and memorable moments to me, in all of gaming.

Is there an alternative instead of the $100 adapter for the xbox one s kinect?

Played some GTAO for a significant amount of time for the first time in a LONG time last night and it was quite productive. Me and literally one other guy who was only lv. 40+, neither of us with hardly any flying skill, somehow BS'd our way through the hospital setup in Act I of the Doomsday Heist. Right after, got through the government facility one where you have to hack 4 servers. Was sometime over the weekend when I did the taking Deluxos to hack armored cars/boats/a big ass jet and destroy all the vehicles so I was ready for the Heist Finale. Got through that to the tune of $260k with me @ 40% and the other 3 at 20%. Followed up Act I completion by doing all the painstaking preps for Act II set ups...curious to see what the cop vehicles' roles will ultimately be in Act II Finale.

Tactics has the best story in FF IMOpinion

Typically dont count tactics...its great though

Currently on Summer break in Persona 4 Golden, just beat the summer boss and I get a feeling the big twist is coming up. I'm really behind with my social links, as is tradition. Probably should decide which girl I want to go after really soon, I've narrowed it down to two and have one party member at rank 9 already though so I don't think I'm slacking as much as P5. Oh, and the social link perks do exist here but only for party members, so there's more of an incentive to get to know them over NPCs.

The bosses are all really well done, loved the latest one with its special version of the boss battle music. The dungeons are much more palatable than Tartarus, but nowhere near as enjoyable as palaces. Out of the three games I feel like I've spent the least time in combat here and there's been no need to grind at all. I hear that's because everyone got a huge buff in Golden and made it easier, so tempted to turn the difficulty up when I do NG+.

Also, is a shadow now.

Hogan is in it as well :lol:

Hogan was in 3 too, his only moves are the Hulk up finger point and the axe bomber :lol:

Holy shit P4's end game really turns up. Major spoiler, don't click unless you know.



Running out of time to max my links and just now realising how badly I've done managing them haha. Fuck.

Been watching it on twitch since im just not able to make the jump backward. Story is very good.

Golden isn't too much of a leap backwards compared to 5, only real area where it doesn't measure up is the dungeons / combat and I guess non-party social links not giving perks. I'd imagine vanilla P4 leans a little closer to P3 though.

Have you finished watching? I'm at the end of November.

Not yet. Should be a few more days

And i find the dungeons too off putting. I just cant get past it

I can understand that. Was worse in 3, where you spend 50% of your time in Tartarus. I'd say it's barely 10% of the game for me in this one. Definitely a lot less than in P5.

Just beat uncharted 3 and 2... 2 a lot better than 1, 3 better than both, 3 was the only one I actually liked

I love teddie and his unBEARable puns

I go between loving Teddie and being genuinely annoyed by his twink perv cock blocking routine. At every single event, that guy ruins all my fun and hangs out with my girlfriend. :mad:

Kanji is my favourite, such a fun character. All the main cast are great though, Yosuke seems to catch a lot of shit but he's much less annoying than Junpei and Ryuji.

Ryuji is also a good bro though, no hate.

Waifu?

Yukiko :heart:

Was between her and Rise, but Rise was a little too thirsty and not as amusing for my liking. Marie was an early contender but she flutters between cool girl and actual baby, don't need that in my life. Chie is my platonic kung fu bro and clearly has a thing going on with Yosuke anyway. Yumi was a bitch and I haven't hung out with Ai since Rank 1, too emasculating. Yukiko best girl.

Final Fantasy 9.

Playing "Beyond: Two Souls" .. cool I really liked Heavy Rain seven years ago, nice to play a similar game

Are you proud of that post?

Bearly

UGH... :nono:

iNATOR's distaste for bad animal puns is unbearlievable.

I cub not understand how anyone would dismiss these...ive bearly gotten started!

Thanks to Fignuts, I'm playing Doki Doki Literature Club. I didn't sign up for this shit.

hahaha YES

Destor and Ossman will back up my suggestion.

FarCry 5.

It's great kohai :y:

May I ask you a question, Destor?

Sure

No.

Thank you. Good day, sir.

I think I see what you did there

Well played

For DAMN iNATOR: http://myinterviewsimulator.com/.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Got the Switch version in the mail today.

I'm inside the TV on the final day of P4 (vanilla final day, Golden gives me another two months I think) so pretty much for my own posterity this is how my social links ended up:



Going to finish off the main game tomorrow probably.

Ive decided to play it btw. Once i finish up DA2 im gonna give it a go.

Also i got P5s soundtrack in today. So good

Okay so I JUST wrapped up Doki Doki entirely...need to axe some questions:

Playing Far cry 5

It is Far cry in rural Montana.

It's an Ubisoft game. Unless you've been living in a cave the last 10 years you know what that means and whether the game is for you.

I love them. Dunno why. Very repetitive. But I have fun with them regardless.

hell yeah, Far Cry 5 and Sea of Thieves should definitely carry me over to Red Dead Redemption 2

The best, I put Sunset Bridge on in as background noise on a regular and Life Will Change is in my workout mix. The 4 soundtrack is also pretty great, it's more of a grower though. Did you finish watching it all before you decided to play?

No i just watched enough to know the characters were worth the meh dungeons

I'm going to start Ni No Kuni 2 today. High hopes for this after the original one even though they have changed a lot.

Still got a backlog to get through before NNK2...prob julyish

Yeah I was all in day one special edition on NNK, but I'm going to wait for a drop in price for this one. Still looks good, the kingdom management aspect intrigues me.

Playing Total War: Attila at the mo; it's alright; Medieval II remains my favourite.

Decided to buy Mario. Little late on getting the game but whatever. I am slow at finishing games.l.

Youre in for a treat. For a 30 year old game it totally holds up.

Really enjoying the setting of Far Cry 5 more than previous games. Leveling system is better. I like how side missions are given out by resuing civilians in random encounters. Ally system is pretty cool with all the specialists.

Mountain Lions can go fuck themselves with a rusty garden tool.

same

I agree. It's not linear like the previous entries (aside from Primal).

Why is linear a dirty word?

This hat thing in Mario is pretty cool. Didn't believe I would like it at first which is why I didn't get the game right away but boy was I wrong.

Little pissed I went and found all 50 pink coins and all I received for my trouble was a golf clap. Wtf is that.

Each world has X purple coins. Most (all?) 100 purple coin worlds have a moon that requires a specific costume. In a game of 900ish moons its totally skipable. Personally i liked hunting for them.

The second level I am in has 100 purple. Guessing the first level only had 50 since it's the first level. I will probably find them all and collect all the moons as I go. Otherwise the game will probably be incredibly short.

Super fun game. Wanted to skip my workout today hur forced myself to go. Just want to play Mario.

Big zones have 100 small zones have 50

hate this dickhead ProJared

I think he means the progression system. You don't have to hunt down specific animals to get specific upgrades anymore, and can just do whatever to earn skill points.

Agreed on a linear approach being beneficial at times. Mirrors Edge works far better as a linear game, for instance.

Yeah, pro jared is super annoying

That, and story itself. Choose your own adventure. Totally digging it.

Far Cry formula is still here. But it's been tweaked up in some areas.

Ehhh. Mario is becoming a little lame. So many moons. They don't feel special to obtain in the least anymore.

we need an open world mario game

we need an open world tetris game

Playing "The Long Dark" at the moment; don't think I've survived more than a day, yet.

Finished Persona 4. Now I'm sad.

I should start it tomorrow...maybe tonight

P5 anime premiered yesterday btw

I go back and forth on a lot of different games at once.

Currently, Final fantasys' 4- 9, sims 4, WWE/F games, Pokemon yellow, DBZ games.

Just survived six days.

I've been watching clips of the P4 anime, the protagonist seems to be in full on troll choice mode 90% of the time :lol: Still more likable than the P3 protagonist, that guy is a dickhole. I'm interested to see how they handle Joker.

Ren/Joker was mostly silent. Not sure if he got a full sentence out tbh

Haha, of all three protagonists Joker seemed to suit the strong and silent archetype the most, he's a man of action and is supposed to keep a low profile. Pretty hard to get a word in with Ryuji and Mona around tbf. Maybe he'll speak up more when they get into the social links stuff.

Im liking Yu so far. Typical silent protag i suppose but he has a swagger i like. Yukiko has early bid for best girl

Yu has a real quiet confidence to him, Dojima and Nanako also flesh him out tons more than your usual silent protagonist gets the benefit of.

I was considering going with Rise on NG+ but I don't know if I can break Yukiko like that :heart:

This is a terrible match. Wtf.

UM and i are a perfect match. Fu.

Main one I'm playing is Broken Sword 5: The Serpents Curse

Still got loads on my backlog/unfinished games I need to get back to.

Yeah we have our Hermit social link maxed out. What the hell, Ruien?

Lol

@Ultra Mantis

I went with basket ball and drama. Im sure both are the same sign just with dif chsracters tho

I just smashed Chrono Trigger for the first time! So freakin’ good! That music!
I’m trying to get through some of the greatest games I’ve never played. Having a modern game break with Rise of the Tomb Raider then it’s either Ocarina or Super Metroid.

I went straight into NG+ and they're the same arcana but really different in tone. Soccer link is pretty weak, you get both sports bros as the link regardless of what you pick but the story isn't the same. Culture clubs are totally unrelated, Drama and music is like a choice between befriending a bitch in a club or befriending a club's bitch.

chrono holds up REALLY well

Im liking drama so far. Shes justified in being a bitch, club president has been using his statusto get girls and not pushing the talent. She's confident because she's the best

Oh yeah totally, the school drama club is run by ego. It's a pretty accurate representation of amateur theatre in general, she is a talent and has that desire to do well but once you get further into the link she's just not fun to hang with haha. You'll see.

Drama club is better than music club though, music girl is a total beta. You'd hate her.

I toured the class before I chose. Too one look at her and was like "beta arc"

:lol:

It is literally "I suck at my instrument that I didn't even want to play but it's fine because they let me stay behind after practice to sweep the floor ahaha right?"

I just met the hermit :lol:

I hope we can go get ramen together

Nanako-chan is the real best girl :heart:

Introduction of the Hermit was so ridiculous I totally lost it, not even sure why. Out of all the bizarre shit that happens in this series that was the one thing that got me.
