Silent Hill 2. Great game. Gave up for months after I couldn't find the last combination of the most well guarded hairs in gaming,but now I've reached the hotel.

 

[Master Bates]

I'd want to.say a game of charades with my beau. But other than that, I'm playing Fate/Grand Order and I am in gacha hell.

 

[Cthulhu]

I'm slow with the remake (someone else is already playing it atm), so meanwhile I've been playing Persona 5 (better late than never!); very enjoyable, if a bit cringy. I got The Division 2 as well for PC, it was on sale and I did enjoy the first one. I dunno if I'll get to the endgame of that one though, that'll require paying for the DLC (because I doubt many people are playing the 'old' content atm, although it was on sale + had a free weekend the other day) and it was a bit too hardcore for me the first time around. Mind you I had it for PS4 at the time, while it may be better as a PC game.

I've been playing

- Final Fantasy VII Remake - I already beat it for the first time and started a second playthrough to find things I missed and pay attention to details
- Resident Evil 3 Remake - I already got my Platinum Trophy, but I want to beat my own records
- Final Fantasy VII - I'm playing the OG on my PSP, it's never enough FFVII!

 

[Saven]

- Final Fantasy VII Remake (Going to start Hard Mode tomorrow)
- As of today, Streets of Rage 4. Yuzo Koshiro's still got it:

 

[tidus79]

I finished FF 7 Remake and started Persona 5 Royal ps4....impressive game! ^^

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

I tried Dragon's Dogma right after platinuming Remake, and the difference in polish and characterization was just to great. I love Itsuno's other games though, so I'll give it another go down the road.

So now I'm playing Burnout Paradise Remastered. It sure is a video game.

I enjoyed P5. I never played Royal though.

 

[Prism]

I’m playing through Crisis Core now, hence the inspiration for my signature. I’m on the final boss, but work has kept me from beating it entirely. (Zack’s character is so damn good, as is Cloud’s)

After that, I plan on playing Majora’s Mask. I’ve never actually completed a full proper playthrough of MM, so I’m looking forward to that. Its world is so enigmatic and character driven in a way few games are.

Dragon’s Dogma is one of my favorite games, though I would say the strengths are not found in the story, polish or characterization by any means. Its party collaboration-based combat, explorable open world (honestly, its small size makes it manageable to not fast travel - games that have too much reliance on fast travel defeat the point of an open world, IMO...), and unique combat physics / movesets make it appealing to me.

 

[Wol]

Dragon's Dogma is so fucking deliciously good that even it's misgivings and lack of polish in certain aspects are charming.

I've poured 200 hours minimum, it's that kind of adventure. The story begins as a basic tale only to blow your mind later on, and the gameplay is another story in itself, massive!

Eagerly anticipating a sequel.

Yeah, I'm decently confident I'll love it when I go back to it as I usually care way more about gameplay than story. I think playing right after Remake just did the game a disservice to me, so I'm hoping a palate cleanser of street racing will help me approach it with a more open mind.

That said, I'm pretty sure I'll always hate the art style

I’ve been at the end for literal years, putting off beating it ‘cause I don’t want it to end, lol. (Though I still have the Dark Arisen content to get to - I just bought that this year) The gameplay is leagues above the gameplay in other games of its genre - I could write an essay on the little things that make it good. Fun fact: Dragon’s Dogma’s GDD was actually originally written in around 2000 or so. Good taste, Wol!

Very understandable! The game has PS2 graphics that are masquerading as PS3 graphics. That’s one of my main hopes for what a sequel would fix.

Have fun with street racing until then, can’t go wrong with some arcade-y racing.

Oh man, you are in for some dark shit in the DLC, fantastic dungeon and world-building, also they've put the best OSTs in there.

The gameplay is potentially massive, still not sure which class is my favorite because all of them can do some crazy shit later on. Also plenty of missable and optional paths, the replayability is insane.

 

[Xinda]

Final Fantasy IX. For the first time ever. Not even halfway through the game, and I've already cried and got teary eyed multiple times ;;

That's my favorite game of all time

(As a lurker, it took me almost 5 minutes to get the quote-thing to be understood... Oops)

So, I did finish FFIX, and I can COMPLETELY see what it's your favourite game!

Sad RL Note:

Spoiler

In the midst of my playing it, one of my cats - my 9 year old - passed away very suddenly. There I was playing, took a break, and found her. Thus, I put the game for a while and now, unfortunately, I do have that association with it. However...

The game was REALLY fun over all. I did, sadly (as I'm not fond of having to use them and have 0 problem with others using them) use a walkthrough, but boy did I need it.

More thoughts behind cut for space:

Spoiler

The characters of IX are SO GOOD. There's so much interesting interactions, and of course twists. Especially for someone, like me, who somehow failed to read the description on the game and missed some obvious facts/clues.

I WAS spoiled on one thing (regarding Kuja) before playing (years upon years ago, that somehow stuck in my mind), but found out more than I knew! So that was nice.

Visually (I played the port, not the "cleaned up" version) I thought it was so beautiful to look at. Sure, there were some bumps in the road, and the differences between the CGI and gameplay (save for one scene, towards the end...), but it still looked so good.

While I think it COULD stand alone, as is, I wouldn't MIND a remake. Simply to flesh out certain interactions between characters that I think needed it more. Understandably, the game had limits, but I'd like to see everything evolve/fleshed out a bit, too.

Ahh, right, the music was also really good!

-----

Most recently, about 2 weeks ago?, I finished FF7R thanks to my S.O. who so kindly bought it for me. And THAT was an experience...

 

[Pizzachu]

I'm playing Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ MUSIC. It's a fun rhythm game and you can see the character's reaction to how well/poorly you're playing. I keep messing up Masato's song, so his face looks like this:

Spoiler: Surprised Masato

 

[Xinda]

Excuse me while I fangirl over the fact that someone else plays UtaPri♫. Unfortunately, since I don't speak Japanese, I've only been dabbling in Shining Live. So. I had no idea they reacted to how you played. Poor Masato. That's hilarious while in the same breath, to you, "I'm sorry."

 

[Pizzachu]

Yay, I'm so happy that someone else likes UtaPri too! If you ever want to jump into the games (and own a PSP), then MUSIC is very beginner friendly for a rhythm game. You don't even have to know Japanese to play through it. ^^

 

[Maidenofwar]

Trails of Mana Remake - NG+/Hard mode run. At around 48hrs~ (clock carries over from first run), just

Spoiler

liberated Laurent

New party is Reisz (Valkyrie), Hawkeye (Ninja), and Kevin (Monk) at L21, I haven't been using any of the NG+ EXP modifiers yet. I was missing my old Angela/Duran/Carlie party until I got the first class change for this one and things started to get more interesting. I decided to start using some of the more OP chain skills and also that third class change for my new team will be based on the first three class change items that ??? seeds give.

 

[Claymore]

Been thoroughly enjoying Slay The Spire. Not quite as good as FTL, but a nice game that has really surprised me.

 

[Prism]

I thought I was going to play Majora’s Mask after I finished Remake, but I impulse-bought Sekiro after a conversation with a friend inspired me to. Played that for a bit, enjoying and learning a lot. But then Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition came out, and that usurped the Sekiro playthrough on accident. (Popped it in to just give it a whirl, ended up getting hooked)

 

[ForceStealer]

Been playing FF3, but now the Command & Conquer: Red Alert Remaster came out, so that's gonna take over.

The fact that you can switch between the old and new graphics at any time by pressing spacebar is a cool touch

 

[Makoeyes987]

You know, if you'd have asked me 5 months from now if I would have thought Resident Evil Resistance would be the game I'd spend hours playing every day for months after release, I'd have thought you were crazy.

Yet here I am in June, a level 55 Annette Birkin and level 50 Daniel Fabron, who's fixated on the meta and maintaining my 45-5 win/loss Mastermind ratio. Never thought I'd enjoy an asymmetrical PvP game so much but I do. RE3 Remake was good and I enjoyed it, but Project Resistance is ironically giving me the most real value out of my purchase.

 

[Relaya]

Currently continuing my way through Trails of Cold Steel (I) after finishing (Platinum for) FFVIIR.

 

[Arianna]

I alternate between Animal Crossing: New Horizons and FFVII Remake.

 

[Graymouse]

I am currently in between, Trials of Mana and Hard mode on FF7R

SE did a way better job on Trials of Mana than they did on the Secret of Mana IMHO.
