I hope you played as Kassandra.

I enjoyed hunting the mercenaries.

I picked up 4 more PS3 games today. Averaged out to 4$ each

Street Fighter 4
DMC HD Collection
DMC 4
Rayman Orgins

I know i dont have a PS4, but .. Rayman Orgins looks beautiful on PS3. When i bought the PS Classic, I played Rayman a lot and thought it looked fantastic for a PS1 game.

I remember the day I (like maybe level 50 at the time) was walking around a forest in the little area just to the west of Macedonia and saw the symbol for a merc in the area. I wasn't wanted, so they weren't looking for me, so I decided to sneak up on them and see if they were a higher or lower rank one and if they were worth bothering with. Got up on the guy and holy shit it was the level 99 guy at the top of the totem pole just off on a walk in the woods lol. I tried to do a full power sneak attack on him and barely dented him lmao. He was not impressed.

I did end up abusing the whole sneak attack and run away method for like 20 minutes though until I ended up beating him....only got moved up one rank still :/

I’ve been in a similar situation. Very satisfying.

Nah, I did not. I read ahead of time that Alexios was cannon so I went that route.

The general consensus was that Kassandra was the better of the two.

Yeah, I figured you could. It just wasn't an option everyone got in the end. I believe there was one response with her early on that enabled it.

I'll eventually do a play through with Kassandra

Also curious to see how much of a dick Alexios is as an NPC.

Massive dick.

So Steam has some great sales going on. All Capcom stuff is getting huge discounts.

I bought Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition for $4.99 . Anyone ever played this? What do you think of it?

I'm up to the ending "on rails" section of ffxv and I've been playing DLC where it fits into the story.

Episode Gladio kind of sucks, worst version of Gilgamesh ever. Hes not even Gilgamesh other than in name. Gladio's sudden cup noodle fetish is also glossed over, dude eats 5 in one day and then next time he sees one he jizzes his pants.

Episode Ignis is actually great. Ignis is the best character in the game by far and this DLC not only fleshes him out and gives him a hook shot but actually gives Ravus a personality, backstory and motivation. Why they never did that in the actual game is mind boggling.

Not done Prompto's yet but from the other DLC credits I discovered he is actually Goro Akechi and now I dont trust him.

Currently playing (and losing at) online Mortal Kombat 11. I'll find my groove...eventually.

You'll probably smash your controller in a blind rage depending on what kind of person you are.

Platinum'd Borderlands 3 last night. Good times. Uninstalled for now until the next batch of DLC comes out.

Going back to Red Dead Redemption 2. Going to try like hell to knock out all the challenges, side stuff, and collectibles in single player before I make the jump into online again.

I'm about to do Episode Ardyn, and kill the toise then I think I'm done with FFXV. I've definitely not tackled some of the content (those post game doors in dungeons) but I felt the same about post game last time. I did Pitioss or whatever it was called, but other than that it's just not much fun. Combat is such a downer, even now the game has caught up with my level I don't feel very involved in it.

Some thoughts on the royal edition additions (Going to spoiler tag just in case theres somebody out there on TPWW who cares about FFXV and hasn't played it yet. Of all things):



I have no doubt Persona 5 Royal Edition is going to be a much more thrilling ride, but for now I have to decide which ones of my 1004 backlogged games to start on next...

I have a really bad UFC EA Sports 3 habit. I have been wanting to replay GTA 5 and I saw it was on Game Pass so I got game pass for a dollar this month and maybe I'll hang onto it maybe not IDK. But I'm excited to do some real psycho shit.

It took like 12 hours to download finally get to play.

Started Tokyo Xanadu Ex+, which I picked up cheap like a year ago because people were saying it's like Persona. In some ways it is. There's a Rise and a Chie expy already. There's kind of social links I guess. Hidden world only visible to "awoken" people. All the usual stuff. Combat is hack and slash action though and seems kinda bad. Also the main character kind of floats when he runs and it's hilarious. Obviously nowhere near as good as Persona but it's alright I guess.

@Destor, it's made by the same team as Trails of Cold Steel apparently, I think there's even a trailer for it playing in the electronics store. From what I've read Trails is a lot better.

Well trails is fucking ace so im not surprised. I mean...trails is a handheld port and it shows but fuck..love trails

Yeah I think this was originally on Vita too, at least I'd hope so going off the character models.

Finished Tokyo Mirage. Really fun. Good combat and leveling systems. Characters are pretty good too. Has some negitives though. Sidequests are formulaic and unimaginative. The leveling system, while deep, has a design flaw that adds tedium through backtracking that should just be a menu screen. Weeby to the point it will turn many off.


All that said im the niche this was made for. Even the flaws didnt phase me. The various systems the game offered me were very addicting. Constant progression and you really feel the growth as you level through the multiple advancement mechanisms.


Plus some of the characters were so kawaii it was impossible not to love them.


Also Kiria is best girl.

Up next....either 3 houses DLC, DQ1 or Trails 3. Im pushing trails 3 off since the localisation for 4 hasnt been announced i dont wanna be stuck on a cliff hanger :'(

Been feeling a huge diablo shaped void in my soul lately, so I decided to give Wolcen a try. Oof. So much potential, so little execution. The gameplay has all the right hooks and is fun....but the game is just too broken. For instance, gold is a fairly precious commodity and you don't get tons of it like you do in Diablo. And Endgame stuff costs a good bit of it, meaning get ready to grind...I played to the end game and had maybe 200k gold saved up, nowhere near enough for the stuff I had to pay for now. Then I found out I can just multiply item values by stacking/unstacking things. Made 661 million gold in about a minute.

You can clone your characters, dump the inventory of the clones into the shared stash, and boom, dupes.

Tons of nodes on the skill tree don't even work. They do nothing. Ended up making only 1 build truly viable for high level end game stuff. And the only reason that build worked is because all the nodes worked, but the developers apparently didn't think people would pick these nodes or something because they make you OP af, like broken levels of OP. So instead of fixing other nodes so maybe other builds could work.....they nerfed the good build to bring it in line with the broken ones lmao.

Oh and my character randomly started moonwalking uncontrollably until he was surrounded by clones of himself either praying or dancing in honor of him and then he flopped through the geometry and into the abyss.

It's a really beautiful game, and the gameplay is awesome when it works right, but they really needed to have about 6 months of testing/fixing the full version before they released it.

This brings me to the following: I am finally playing Path of Exile. I had tried it before, but the camera felt too zoomed into me and was annoying back in the day and I just didn't like the feel of it.

Apparently a lot has changed. Camera is still a little close but much better than it was and the graphics engine has been completely overhauled. The game is waaaay better looking and performs way better than I remember.

And jesus I have never seen so much content in a game like this. It's beyond overwhelming.

Very very glad I decided to cave in and give it another chance. Diablo itch scratched.

100% Red Dead Redemption 2. Some of the stuff I had to do was tedious in order to get there, but totally worth it.

Now, just gotta mop up the animal trophies and get 70 gold medals in various missions and all story related stuff will be done.

Not feeling motivated to resume God Of War.

Well you better find that motivation.

Got Super Mario Party yesterday since it was only $40 on eShop

First Mario Party I ever played. Very Fun.

Gross

Trails of cold steel 3. I really need them to announce the trails 4 localization.

I still can't. In a problem similar problem with ESO and Neverwinter, all of the goddamn text is too small with no way to adjust it. My TV is across the living room. I'm not sitting right up on a monitor like a PC gamer. This is a basic menu thing missing that devs are taking for granted.

I cycled back to State of Decay 2 in time for their big update. Digging the new map, and to a point, the heavy weapons (seemed to be rolling powerhouse all the time on characters when it was pretty worthless, now that it is essential for better use of the heavies, I only got ONE person to roll it). They're more useful if you have help, though. And I mean actual person co-op help, since they have a huge stamina drain, and it's easy to get overwhelmed if you're solo and trying to use a hogsplitter.

ANIMAL CROSSING (in like 8 hours)

Exit the Gungeon.

Not as good as Enter the Gungeon but its been enjoyable for the hour or so I've played so far.

Animal Crossing New Horizons

Not too far off, my son ran the Genocide route of Undertale and is thoroughly getting owned by Sans.

Stay determined.
