I've been spending a lot of time on Fire Emblem: Warriors recently <_<. Definitely not a AAA game and it gets kinda repetitive but so far I've enjoyed playing it the most (of the half dozen or so DS games that I have).

Tried some Elite: Dangerous as well again the other day, but it's still pretty much a waiting simulator.

Playing Detroit: Become Human. Just finished my second full playthrough. I'm thoroughly impressed by all the different branches in the storyline. :monster:

When I have spare time during the week, I'm slowly chipping away at my Royal Edition replay of FFXV. Really having fun with it.

On the weekends though, I'm playing through Divinity Original Sin 2 with my brother. Absolutely loving it; playing an RPG that deep with a friend is a great experience. Realizing how your skills can synergize to defeat enemies never gets old.

I'm close to finishing FFXII Zodiac Age, but I am really bummed that I cannot go back and construct the floor tiles needed in the Pharos Lighthouse to get to hidden treasure!!! I tried, and the game's not letting me... So, I kind of lost interest. I may just start a new game at some point, but the thought of leveling up via the Dustia route exhausts me. I spent a long time getting 99 + phoenix downs. Oh yes, and the fact that there is a number of ghosts you have to get to complete the game, and the only place and time you get the ghosts are in the Garamsythe Waterway, right after Ashe joins your party the first time... Very frustrating.

@Arianna I can't remember anything about floor tiles or missable ghost enemies in Garamsythe... is this something that's different in the Zodiac versions? Do you have links to some information? I'm curious now :monster:

Edit: OH I know what you mean by floor tiles now. You should be able to go back up there and get the treasures, just remember you must ONLY kill Deidars, and not the Brainpans, they will cancel out your progress. (Other enemies are fine to kill.)

My wife and I started Life Is Strange season 1 and so far it’s delightful. Reminds me of @Carlie I’m on Episode 2.

I’m also playing Detroit: Become Human, my first current gen game. Christ it looks so real ? and it’s so artistic.

Both games really put Telltale games to shame in terms of making me feel like my choices matter, and they are just both really artful. Life is Strange is absolutely dripping with themes of regret and nostalgia, reflected in the core gameplay mechanic, and Detroit’s first hours are of utter servitude, but with a sense that you are waking up — quite literally, as the programmed game now literally has a soul driving it. They are both top-tier role playing experiences.

Batman Arkham City on ps4
I appreciate how they finally give some space to Cobblepot and how Arkham City is full of interesting reminiscent of Burton's Gotham.

I know this game is long gone by now, but for the life of me, I can't find or remember the name of the fantasy-war PS2 game I've been trying to re-locate since playing it years ago.

I can't remember if it begins with a W or not, but it's a sequel to a game of the same name, where you play as elves and things like that while creating your own playable playable character in this tree village run by a council. I even remember the parts where you fight this bad guy and trying to stop him and certain bosses include a giant spider which leads to the Underworld, and another boss where you have to fight this giant Ant Queen while avoiding in getting killed by her Ant minions, and after locating a Horn, your characters ends up somewhere else by someone who tricked you, I think.

I think I vaguely remember the ending, but I've tried and failed to find the game even by name and Youtube since then. Can anyone help me remember the name of this game, please?

I played the Nioh 2 beta for about an hour this morning, and really liked what I saw of the new mechanics. Didn't get a chance to see how they work in actual combat though.

Considering my two most anticipated games of next year are FFVIIR and Nioh 2, the latter's release date is really unfortunate.

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XV and Resident Evil 2 Remake, I'm playing the latter on Standard Mode as I already beat it on Assisted, and I'm planning on beating it on Hardcore as well. I want my Platinum Trophy!

A remake done very well with the only flaw of not having cured the boss fights enough. The atmosphere remained magical and typically "Tim Burton style" despite the whole thing being more colorful than the original and this imho was a perfect choice.

Still obsessively playing FE3H. It's kind of monotonous but that makes it almost like meditation. TBH the reason I love it is that it's perfect fanfic fodder: adult themes of war, loss, pain, betrayal, sacrifice, etc... packaged for children, which means there's a lot left to say about them; distinctly drawn, charming characters who are nevertheless open for further development; and a complex world with a long history, most of which is barely touched on.

I'm currently on chapter 11. Kind of curious if they'll somehow work in the traditional beach episode given we're in the middle of winter. "14 characters froze to death. Now back to the story."

Little Towns - Basically gotta make sure you feed your people every turn, while building structures to complete goals and earn victory points, with any money you have left at the end also contributing to victory points, etc. I feel it requires strategy and understanding to properly enjoy, and probably wouldn't have a lot of replay value, but I only played it the once, so am not sure if I got the adequate level of perspective to comment.

The Grimm Masquerade - I suspect Masquerade is the franchise, and Grimm is like a skin of it, for lack of better description. Anyways, basically everyone is given a character with strengths and weaknesses, and you gotta try and prevent people from giving you 2 trait cards that are your weakness and/or hoping they don't guess who you are. If you collect 3 trait cards that match your strength, you win the round. You couldn't hide what cards you have either, so memorising your opponents actions isn't a component of the strategy. You can spend 2 matching cards to use a special power card that might give you an edge over other players, re: information, but that's it. When myself and some friends played, usually the round was finished before anyone managed to collect their strength cards, because you also have to identify who you are not upon getting 2 of the same type of trait card (as this would rule out that you're not a particular character with said weaknesses). I'm really bad at these kinds of games, because I am a bad liar, so when people speculate about who I am, I tend to give it away through giggle fits, etc :mon:. Also why I suck at poker :mon:.

Finished my time with the Nioh 2 beta this evening. I think it may have overtaken FFVII as my most anticipated game, at least at the moment. I can understand the criticism that it's just Nioh 1.5, but honestly, that sounds more appealing to me than most games. Can't wait.

Random stuff; I got back into KSP for a bit, and done some Celeste but it's not great on PC (keyboard controls); should either get a controller or buy it again for ps4 or something.

I searched for Celeste on the board to see if we had a thread and found your post.

After trying for a good year on and off, I finally finished all of Celeste's B and C sides tonight. Probably the most challenging game I've ever played, but what a euphoric feeling to finish. 10000 deaths lmao

Hardest level is 7C IMO.

Now on to chapter 9! (Free DLC)
