Chapinator_X Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just started getting into Tales of games. I played Xillia years ago, but I got Vesparia and Zestiria on sale recently. Vesparia is definitely the better of the two with how the combat and story work well, and how Yuri has some fun banter with the other characters. I can tell Zestiria will eventually sour on me, but so far, I’m having a good time with it. It’s sloppy in its combat system and narrative, but I enjoy Sorey and Mikleo’s chemistry a lot. Maybe they’ll be able to salvage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 SMT V is coming in the mail soon, but I’m almost done with Tales of Zestiria. How have I never learned about this game until now? It’s jank as hell in a kusoge sorta way, but I love the characters and the juxtaposition between the fantasy setting and the campy, irreverent tone. It being the first game I’ve played where your main dude has a twink bf by default is also a bonus. I need to get into more of these Tales games. I’ll probably alternate between Vesparia and SMT V for the next month or so. I have a couple backlog games like AI and The Witcher 3, but I’ll likely have to chip away at those once I get the motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 SMT V and the Demon Slayer PS5 game have been taking up a lot of my time lately. I might pop back into Valkyrie Chronicles 1 or 4 since I’m burnt out on the two Tales games I’ve been playing. I got Jump Force during Black Friday and so far, I don’t hate it. It plays better than Eyes of Heaven and has a decent roster. It’s definitely a sloppy kusoge, but it scratches a weird itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I finally beat Final Fantasy IX last week. Got back to fucking around on Slay the Spire. Also started up Ganbare Goemon: Kirakira Dōchū: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake with my bro last night, will probably finish it up over the next couple weeks since he'll be over a few times.

DBAss Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Been playing YGOPro recently. I really do like the game, but hate modern day ygo where every single thing you do gets cancelled out immediately, and every turn people summon out like 15 different monsters.

Chapinator_X Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Just finished SMT V. The story could’ve been a little more developed, but I loved the combat and still enjoyed what they gave us for the story. It was a refreshing experience because video games have become so focused on telling stories that the gameplay tends to be the worst part of the experience. It’s been a while since I approached an RPG and loved the combat enough that I’m not only happy with grinding, but wouldn’t mind hopping into New Game + to see what I can clear out. It was sobering to absolutely love the gameplay and have my only demerit against the game being that I’d like to learn more about the characters. All of this sounds like dick riding, but I really needed this game after going through a number of games that I’d rather watch than play.

PerfectFlowingHair Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Recently picked up Beat Saber and Final Fantasy XIV. And... holy moley have I been missing out on not playing XIV sooner. Ten years after its release I honestly expected it to die off like XI -- only, XI is *still supported and updated*. Also Yoshi P is a superstar. I suppose Beat Saber is nice too.

Chapinator_X Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Just impulse-bought Bloodborne to make up for the Elden Ring fomo and because it’s only $9 at the moment. Haven't gotten past the character creator, but that’s because I’m hashing over whether to play as Gendo Ikari or Vladislav from What We Do in the Shadows.

SloweyJoey46 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Square Tactics. I mean, Triangle Strategy. It's like Final Fantasy Tactics if you took away all of the jobs and grinding. I think I like that better, honestly. But the plot does not live up to FFT. Like that even had to be said, though amirite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenguinBoss Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon I like turn-based combat, usually, but it feels like a slog in this game.

Chapinator_X Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I’ve been grinding on Guilty Gear Strive and having a blast with Baiken and Testament. Was trying out Bridget again cause I used to main her in X2, but I miss when you could remote control Roger to have sawblades while you’re combo-ing. I also got Elden Ring recently. I’m not usually a big fan of the SoulsBorne games, but this clicked in a big way for me. I like the kind of strategy I can get from firing magic and dodging as a Mage vs. trying to slash and strafe my way through an almost certain demise. I’ve had Pokémon Arceus on hand for a while, but never popped it in til this weekend. I’m having a pretty good time with this one as well. Still early in the game so I don’t have too much info. Yakuza 7 and Tales of Arise are still in my backlog. Made some progress in Yakuza, but I’ve been sitting on Arise for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Elden Ring. I hit the halfway point, Spoiler vanquishing the Starscourge Rahdan by ordering around everyone else to do it while I sat back and fired a goddamn handheld ballista at him and his tiny horse. And yet I still feel with all the leveling that I’m made of tissue paper. So off to more side quests before I raid the capital.

Jman Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Playing Elden Ring...but probably not for much longer. At the halfway point of the game, and people have specifically, SPECIFICALLY warned about this, the game goes from punishing but fair to a complete fucking slog that is just unfair on so many levels. It's not about "gitting gud", it's not about reflexes, it's about the fact that every fucking enemy WILL kill you in one shot and you have no recourse whatsoever. Most Souls game, and arguably the beauty of the genre, is that they are punishing but what makes them work is that everyone, friend and foe alike, plays by the same rules. Elden Ring, YOU'RE made of tissue paper, but everyone else has insane tanking damage and will kill you if you fuck up even slightly. I've been comparing it to my job hunt, which is a clear signal that as pretty as looks and as fun as the first half of the game was, continuing to play it will only cause me ulcers and want to punch my neighbors.

SwimModSponges Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 The other night i had like 20 minutes before bed and was all internetted out for the night. Didnt want to start up a game that id get wrapped up in right before i had to stop. Remembered the good ol' days of dial-up internet and Maxis pinball. So i go on steam and get myself a free pinball game. Its fun. There's all kinds of tables to play, AvP, Jurassic Park, LOTR... they all cost money though, only one free table. But its fun enough to blow a handful of minutes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Playing the same games that I was in October, but I got Sonic Frontiers during Black Friday. I might get tired of it at some point, but I really enjoy how they pulled off the open world hubs and traveling about on rails. Giving Sonic an acceleration button like he’s a sports car is a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenguinBoss Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Started Death Stranding. About 7 hours into it, but don't know if I'll make it all the way through. The story is interesting, in a Kojima way, but the gameplay is a real slog. I thought maybe it'd be a comfy game, but the stealthy bits and even the delivery mechanics are hassles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 i started playing South Park: The Stick of Truth when I got my PS4.
