February 26, 20187 yr Finished South Park: The Stick of Truth and just blasted through Batman: A Telltale Series. Enjoyed both; however there were tons of glitches and crashes in Batman which was a bit off putting. Not going to have enough time to play this week but will be starting Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness on Sunday probably. ^_^
February 26, 20187 yr FFX-2Â SO much fun doing the new game + and having a Mascot, Dark Knight and Beserker from the get go *.*
February 26, 20187 yr Author Not going to have enough time to play this week but will be starting Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness on Sunday probably. ^_^Â Ooh, enjoy! I've seen that name around but as I've already seen the TV series I wasn't sure whether it was worth picking it up. Let me know how it goes.
March 3, 20187 yr Finally finished the first half of Umineko. Took longer than I expected, a whole 62 hours for a story that primarily takes place across just 2 days :D Absolute thrill ride though. What starts by being presented as a classic murder mystery slowly unravels with fantastical elements, seemingly to challenge you, the reader, to submit to the absurdity in place of a solution grounded in reality. It was wearing on me initially but once I started getting into the 3rd chapter, I found myself champing at the bit to play more and more. There's a hugely bloated cast of roughly 40 characters but not many feel particularly redundant, or if they do, it's probably because they're on the way to unveil a side of them not-yet-seen. I'm glad that unlike with Higurashi, I can pick up reading the second half as soon as I want since it's actually been released :P On the more game-y side of things, I've been playing a lot of Splasher lately, which is a 2D platformer largely unknown outside of France that I picked up on because many of my friends over there had been speedrunning it. Kind of like Super Meat Boy but without being punishingly difficult. Rather the levels are filled with checkpoints and tricky junctures, so the game expects you to die a lot, but without being much of a problem. As a platformer though the levels are really nicely designed, with all the hallmarks of introducing a gimmick and expanding upon it gradually, and also not trying to deceive the player by obfuscating rewards or traps. I'm also generally trying to tidy up my Steam library and get onto a bunch of games I've left unfinished. Then I'm going to get Celeste which is so highly acclaimed and in my wheelhouse that I'll surely get a lot out of it. Edited March 3, 20187 yr by Dircadirca
March 3, 20187 yr Author I've been trying to tidy up my Steam library as well. By just picking a random game I haven't played, installing it and seeing how good (or bad) it is and seeing how many achievements I can get really easily. I finished Higurashi chapter 3 a few days ago which was intense and incredible and just even more confusing than the other two. Chapter 4 so far is a bit less good seeing as how it's a flashback but it's a short one and I'm sure will reveal something interesting, I'm very hyped to get on Chapter 5 and actually get some answers, and then apparently wait forever to get the other chapters on Steam.
March 4, 20187 yr Chapter 3 is really peculiar because I remember starting it and being thoroughly amused with the antics on the baseball team & cooking competitions, more so than previously, but it's almost as if that's just a set up so you let your guard down with how intense it gets. For what is a outlandish series, all the domestic violence stuff feels so uncomfortably real. Chapter 4 is a bit peculiar and I think was originally treated as a bonus chapter. From what I understand, the protagonist of it eventually becomes important but I don't recall him appearing in Chapter 5 so I'm not sure when. There's a thrilling action sequence and some creepy stuff with Rika, but otherwise not quite as enthralling as the other chapters. I'm also hoping to believe that they're going to release chapters 6-8 together, perhaps in mid June so the release lines up with Watanagashi which would be June 17th this year, that'd make up for the lack of updates of late. :D
March 11, 20187 yr Ooh, enjoy! I've seen that name around but as I've already seen the TV series I wasn't sure whether it was worth picking it up. Let me know how it goes. Just got the platinum for it now. I enjoyed the story the first time, but not the NUMEROUS other times I had to go through to get the slightly different endings (definitely got a bit tedious towards the end). The '2048' style mini-game was time consuming as well and I almost lost the will to live as you need to get over 600,000 points to be able to buy all the extra pictures and voices (and that is with a cloud save).
March 19, 20187 yr FFX-2 SO much fun doing the new game + and having a Mascot, Dark Knight and Beserker from the get go *.* Ha that's amazing! as there a NG+ on the original? If not I never did that. Is anyone playing Friday13th?
March 22, 20187 yr So this happened yesterday  First AAA on a song! and queen Ari of course  7 greats is literally a record for me
March 25, 20187 yr FFXV is great :wub: It really got me more into a series I struggled to get into. I got Rayman Legends yesterday, such a great platformer :wub: It's amazing in all its simplicity.
March 25, 20187 yr Playing Knack at the minute and whilst it's fairly enjoyable, it's all a bit...meh? Like the graphics are nice (for a 5 year old game) and the gameplay is fairly fast paced (although incredibly linear (like worse than Final Fantasy XIII linear :lol:) but its just there, like a decent 7/10. The checkpoints are ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS though and almost gamebreakinig, you could get through about 4 or 5 "rooms" (basically where the enemies are in between little corridors) without a scratch and then one tiny mistake and you're put right back at the beginning (it also doesn't help that until you get more relics you're basically a one-shot kill target). :drama: Plus to get the platinum trophy with copious amounts of luck will still take you at least 2 playthroughs, normal amount of luck probably 3 or 4...
March 26, 20187 yr Finally got a copy of Crash Bandicoot remastered for PS4 so that will probably consume a lot of my free time now :lol:
March 27, 20187 yr I've been playing Pokemon Ultra Sun, I'm trying to complete it just using bug types
April 14, 20187 yr Grand Ages Medieval which I just got recently. Which doesn't have the best reviews, as it is complicated to play apparently with the trade but with me only having two cities at the moment it is fun and I like the realness of it, how it makes you account for all the needs of medieval people. The city views are lovely when zoomed up, you can see your city from a near ground level perspective which I like! I worry when my empire gets bigger though it will get too complicated to manage with trade and production but will persevere anyway!
April 17, 20187 yr Okay I played Pump It Up Prime for the first time a couple hours ago and yeah it was basically one round of Boombayah throughout
