pandemic legacy season 1

picked up the PS4 version of FFXII for next to nothing, it and FFII are the only games in the series that I’ve never touched so figured it was about time. Played the first couple of hours and ... feelings are mixed. The world and story so far are pretty good, much better than the usual FF fare. The battle system however is non existent, thank fuck for the fast forward button. Does it get any better? It’s funny coming to this after playing XC2 a couple of months ago, which has a similar idea except with loads of player interaction.

finally finished The Last Guardian, which remained pretty frustrating the whole way through, and allowed myself to order Hitman which i've been wanting to play for a while

I've been watching youtubes of Hitman & thinking it looks great

the psvr last guardian thing is short but super-fun - hanging out with trico and feeding him snacks is a blast

Dragonball FighterZ is pretty goddamn good

I want a fighting game but I don't like the video style of that one, have watched enough youtube to figure that out.

picked up "Getting Over It" yesterday evening. only played for 15 minutes or so but it was preceded by a half hour session of showing someone QWOP for the first time
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 00:39 (six years ago) link
one golden time i made it to 80m on QWOP. far enough to deal with a hurdle. i've never come anywhere close to that, otherwise.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 00:48 (six years ago) link
i finished qwop and i will never, ever play getting over it
― flippy bard (Will M.), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 22:25 (six years ago) link
explain "finished qwop"... it's beatable?

i think you have to get to like... 100m? then it tells you how fast you ran 100m
― flippy bard (Will M.), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 23:19 (six years ago) link

Just got Monster Hunter World. It’s pretty fun so far. The monsters and weapons are cool and you get a cute kitty cat sidekick to help you in battle.

Also playing the new Monster Hunter. This isn’t gonna be for everyone, but I’m really enjoying it, especially with friends. Also feel like, as I approach it, this is a game that doesn’t really “start” until the higher levels where it gets difficult enough that you have to dig into the plethora of items at your disposable (which I’ve mostly ignored so far) and tailor your gear to the monsters. Looking forward to it.

how close to open world souls is it?

have decided to make jrpgs my Gamer's Theme for 2018 after xenoblade 2 rekindled my excitement for the genre
starting off with mother 3, a game that i've started a couple times in the past but never finished
― ciderpress, Thursday, 8 February 2018 05:04 (six years ago) link
Sweet, maybe you can join me in my journey through one of these games that I started sometime in the past year or so and have not yet finished:
Final FantasyFinal Fantasy 2Final Fantasy 3Final Fantasy 4YsYs 2Phantasy StarPhantasy Star 2Sword of VermilionChrono Trigger
My takeaway being that I enjoy playing but apparently not completing them (the first two Personas being the only ones in recent memory that I saw through to the end).

FF4 is most likely to hit my queue out of those, it's another one ive started in the past but never finished

I think the big Souls/Monster Hunter connection is that the weapons (numbering in the teens here) are all really deep and when you get good with one it’s pretty damn satisfying.Also a zillion different items and armors and upgrade paths and stats. It’s one you’ll be playing for a while if it connects.

bout to wrap up Super Mario 64. i have 75 stars and have fought Bowser a few times now, feel like i can beat the game.
kind of feel like the level design loses focus after the first two floors (once you get to the area w all the non-enter-able paintings). the wet/dry level is super obnoxious. rainbow road the kind of level you would play through once in SMB3 and be thankful you never have to do again. the clock level is awesome though.
i prefer Super Mario Odyssey but i can def see how if you grew up with this it could be your GOAT. simply incredible how many things they got right on the first attempt.

heh i loved the upper floor levels when i was a kid and hated the basement ones

the catapult enemies you have to use in wet-dry world are pretty awful but the sunken village was hugely romantic to young me

tall tall mountain is cool at first. having the monkey steal your hat and now your hat is just gone is great. but on your 5th time up that mountain... jeez.

Lots of Fall. Various podcasts dedicated to MES. This exact minute The Fall Live at Hacienda 1983-85. The song is Kicker Conspiracy.

So Monster Hunter World will take over your life.
― circa1916, Sunday, 11 February 2018 07:43 (six years ago) link
just finished chapter 4 of mother 3. i think this game being an anti-capitalist parable went completely over my head the last time i played it, somehow.
― ciderpress, Sunday, 11 February 2018 17:12 (six years ago) link
Monster Hunter World is a joy.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 11 February 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
is anyone thinking of playing kingdom come? i've only seen a little bit about it but it looks like it could be good?
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 03:54 (six years ago) link
looks fun, i think!

so i finished persona 5 a week ago. the game is excellent but just way too long. they could've trimmed like 40 hours off it easily and it would've still been great. by the end i was forcing myself to play just bc i had already played so much i wanted to see the ending. but it really is an absurdly long game. i played a little cuphead this afternoon. really handsome game w/ pretty tough mechanics.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 04:54 (six years ago) link
how long did it end up taking you? i had heard around 100+ hours and yeah, that just seems way too long
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 04:56 (six years ago) link
100+ really it’s kinda embarrassing to play a game that Iong
― Mordy, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 04:58 (six years ago) link
By the end even char was sick of it
― Mordy, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 04:59 (six years ago) link
dear atlus ceo:
please make persona games half the length and release them twice as frequently.
...profit
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 05:01 (six years ago) link
It not only has a new game+ but by the end of your first play through it is giving you trinkets and stuff to use for that second run like wtf this is their expectation another 100 hours???
― Mordy, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 05:02 (six years ago) link
Oh yeah I played and enjoyed doki doki too this week
