I just told my sister that I really need to add Dragon Quest XI to my things to get me for x occasion and she gave me a rather pointed look. Turns out she gave it to me last Christmas and I have it on my shelf, still in its cellophane wrapper... Well I know what I'm gonna be playing now, thanks for the reminder Lic :mon:

I've got a list of RPGs I'm trying to get through over the summer. Trials of Mana, the Steam version of Mass Effect 3 (mods seem to be cross-compatible), finishing FFX, and if I have time, maybe go on to Suikoden III (loved the first two).

I'm still playing Opera Omnia. I've finally earned enough ingots to purple Kam'lanaut, and I'm still grinding summon boards. KOFG is having an event right now for Season 2 of its storyline, so that has been keeping me busy too.

The non-mobile games that I've been playing are Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Persona 3 Portable. I tried playing the PSP port of the first Persona and couldn't handle the random encounters. Persona 3 Portable has better gameplay IMO and I love playing as a female MC.

Escapism is a blessing.

I finally picked up Persona 5 again for the first time in a long time. The hulking monolith that is this game's playtime keeps preventing me from getting into it, since I know I could wipe out like three other RPGs off my backlog in the time it takes me to play just this game, lol.

But also, I don't remember Persona 3 (the only other Persona game I've played) taking this long to get going. I'm 15 hours in and they're STILL introducing systems and tutorials. What is this, FFXIII?

Are you playing the Vanilla P5 or the Royal re-release?

Persona 5 is easily the worst paced game of the newer Persona games and drags like shit during the its last third.

I'm kinda curious about Royal, but I'm more curious about P4 Golden, which is apparently on Steam right now. P5 was a great game, but easily the weakest of the Persona series imho (I've played 2:IS, 3, 4, and 5). They are gradually losing touch with the art of originality and subtlety (barring P2 on that latter adjective) and I felt like the dialog was often hard to listen to. But it held my exclusive attention pretty much start to finish, so obviously I still have a high opinion about it. It is just lackluster when I compare it to my favorite game of all time, Persona 3.

Yesterday I bought a game called My Time at Portia for some pure escapism. It's a post-apocalyptic farming sim. As a lifelong Harvest Moon fan, I feel like the series has lost its luster. This game gives me a similar feeling as they used to, with the manufacturing parts evoking fond memories of playing RuneScape as a kid, and the setting gives me some Jack and Daxter vibes.

After finishing The Last of Us Part II I'm back on my Kingdom Hearts II Critical mode platinum run. 8 out of 13 Org. XIII data battles down so far. Some of them are rage-inducing jeez :')
Also switching it up with Uncharted since the Nathan Drake Collection was free on the store. Last time I played UC1 was on PS3 back in 2012 and I wasn't as impressed as most others but I'll give it another chance (also I dropped the difficulty to Easy as I remember enemies being annoyingly bullet-spongey and I just want a good time right now :P)

I got platinums for both 2 and 3 but with 1 it ended on the Crushing trophy. I got stuck in a large room with a turret and was never able to clear it.

[CONFUSED SCREAMING]
I've started playing a game called Noita, and I'm loving it. It's a bit frustrating at times, but I love the pixel art (a common theme for me), and the run-shoot-die-repeat aspect.

i've been playing dragon's dogma dark arisen on the switch, and i read that there were berserk collab equipment and kept checking the merchant but wasn't seeing it

i looked it up and it turns out the licencing agreement ran out so the later rereleases don't have those

and now i'm eyeing up the ps3 version for the white hawk armour

Nearing the end of TLOU II now. Avoided every single spoiler and I'm actually more dreading reading the game threads more than anything else as I've thoroughly enjoyed the game and I know exactly what aspects the toxic part of the fandom has taken issues with.

I'm almost finished with Zelda BotW, a few hours into FFXV, and halfway through Spongebob BFBB Rehydrated. So far I'm liking FFXV, it's better than the XIII trilogy for sure, and I'd honestly say better than XII too, at least so far. Spongebob Rehydrated is just the same game as the original but with oversaturated colours and some cut content which I haven't reached yet.

I've been playing Hades.

It's a Rogue-lite by Supergiant Games, makers of Bastion, Transistor and Pyre. I have adored all their games and this even better by their standards. An incredibly narrative experience while being a fast-paced hack n slash. Highly recommend!

Black Mesa, the excellent port of Half-Life in the Half-Life 2 engine. Great game!
