I'll probably buy it during this current sale and then play it when I'm done with the first one on Grounded. If I end up being able to handle it, seems tough right now. I bet the sale won't be that great. I'd definitely play part 2 on your PS5 with the new enhancements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I’m up to chapter 15 on FF7 and although I’ve just picked up a few side quests...I may just ignore them and carry on with the mainline quest. Update: I woke up stupidly early this morning and ended up completing all but the music side quest. I used a guide so it was more of a case of read, go, murder things, return quest item.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Been playing Smash and Mario Kart on Switch with friends. I'm not great against them. I'm really leaning toward starting Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS. Itching for an RPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the first game on the N64 and really liked Melee, didn’t care for Brawl and then fell off Smash U after a few weeks, mainly because becoming decent online felt unobtainable.

gamer.tv Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I’ve been wanting a TGC to play so I’ve been dabbling in Gwent and Magic: Arena. I like both but I think I prefer the premise of Gwent.

Thronebreaker teaches you Gwent so if you are interested play that, and if you like it, get into Gwent. Thronebreaker has a good story too. 1 hour ago, Mr.Vic20 said: I am playing Enderal, a total conversion mod for Skyrim that's pretty solid. Later I will be playing it takes two with my son!

Dodger Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Finished the 1000/1000 on Metro Redux amd started Last Light. Figured I’d play them before Exodus Enhanced comes to consoles. Also fired up the PS5 for the first time in forever to pre order R&C and started TLOU2 to check out the update. Might get back into Spider-Man too.

Nokt Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I've been watching a ton of Destiny lore videos while I'm going to bed. There is just so much depth there that is almost never presented to the player. It really is a fascinating universe, I just wish so much of it wasn't hidden. Anyways, it prompted me to play through Destiny 1 again. Just for kicks and giggles, but there are some aspects of D1 that I wish they would transfer into D2. I also redownloaded no man's sky as I want to try out this recent update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Basically only Returnal for the last week, even if I'm fucking sleeping I apparently play it in my head...and when I'm working...and while I hate it because it wasted my entire Sunday afternoon...and when I'm supposed to be working. The addiction is so severe, how meta! Also been replaying The Last Of Us still off and on but the eternal slow-walking is killing me...probably because Returnal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Finally getting around to playing FFXII and it is already bringing out the worst in me. There are these Skellies you can grind which give you $19k+ in loot in well under an hour with 4x speed turned on. And with the gambit system I basically don't even have to playthe game. They give out so much more EXP than anything I fought so far. I now have now gotten over 60k gil and grinded out 10 levels. I don't really plan on grinding much since I know the game is easier that most other FF games and you can beat it quite easily at 45-55, supposedly. But that spot was too good to pass up. Then I grinded out chests that gave Hi-Potions and Phoenix Downs'. Loot that just respawns like that makes me want to grind until I have 99. But they only have like a 25% chance to be those items and I ended up getting gil and regular potions like 75% of the time. I mean just playing this, it feels almost nothing like any FF game I have played before. I haven't beaten all of them, but I have played 3, 4, 7-10, and 13. All of them feel way more FF than this. Also, I will say, the auto system is really dumb. I finally turned on gambits for all characters, and all I have really been doing so far is moving my character when not in combat. Well that and I make sure I don't die if the AI is failing. Having the game be fully auto tho is actually better than how Xenobalde does it. I have mentioned this before, but I would really fucking love a FF single player game that had actual MMO combat like FFXIV. I wish 12 had combat like that. It would work great. Like, you'd always have buttons to spam, which I like. I always mash my combos in 14, and then you could have haste as a spell and have a faster GCD. FFXIV actually feels more like a FF game than FFXII to me. I don't hate 12, but I don't like the combat. Sure, maybe I can't let the game play itself the entire time, like maybe the Weapon bosses of this game require you to actually control all of you party, but the main story quests haven't so far and that is really all that matters. Cuz, right now, all I'm just playing FFXII to beat the game and experience the story by "playing" it. Super end game stuff will depend on how I feel after I beat the game.

I got out of it over a decade ago, its just too expensive to keep up with (I play video games, and Warhammer Tabletop as well, so something had to give), but I have been playing a bit of Arena during the pandemic, and forgot how fun it was. Today ill be playing Ratchet and Fallen Order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you say you played 3&4, do you mean actual 3&4, or 4&6? Because if you haven't played 6, you should rectify that! It's still the best FF.

Nokt Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I just do not understand the AI in Alien Isolation at all. I don't understand what triggers the xenomorph to come where you are. I literally spent the better part of the section I'm in crouching everywhere, but the xeno will just randomly sprint to where I am in seemingly random circumstances. Other times when I'm hiding in a locker he will come sniff in front of me, I'll hold my breath and hold back, I'll visually see him leave the room, check the little radar thing and it shows he is away then BOOM rips my door off and eats my face. Other times I can be crouching behind a table with LOS on the xeno and it'll just bounce out of the room. I don't get it. I like to think I'm not terrible at stealth games that much, but maybe I am a lot, lot worse than I think I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
