kooolm Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Watch Dogs turned out to be super boring. Good thing I never paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Kind of a tie between my familiar and Frayne for me Also finally finished reading the summary of Ciel nosurge... and considering how exhausting it was just to read about it I'm kind of glad I didn't have to play it. Will begin Ar nosurge tomorrow or the next day, still debating whether to play it dubbed or not since I recognize and really like most of the dub cast, but on the other hand the JP option has more voiced lines, decisions decisions...

BookwormOtaku Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Started playing Ar nosurge, way better start so far than Ciel. I started with the dub for the first couple scenes and while it was good I'm more used to the Japanese VAs anyway so I switched, plus the synthesis jingle/dance isn't the same without voice acting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Alien Isolation, god damn I'm lovin' it. I'm currently at the Gemini Exoplanets mission, best level design so far (by far) and it is great fun though maddening at times (like the end of Mission 6 (find trauma kit) and the place I am stuck in RN. The downside of the flamethrower is that the creature grows accustomed to it so fucking quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbro Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I started playing Atelier Shallie. I was pretty surprised when I found out it didn't have the time management mechanic, although I suppose its not a first for the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookwormOtaku Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Played some more Ar nosurge...and it seems to have something in common with Elder Scrolls in that I admit I'm more interested in the crafting dialogue than I am with the main story (though it is interesting that I can apparently enter the minds of the bad guys too). Now that Sharly's shop is unlocked that means even more crafting, which I hope is at least as delightfully crazy as Nay's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Got this urge to replay Fire Emblem Awakening, which is weird because I didn't like it all that much the first time around. I like it much more this time,and the combat feels WAAAAAAY more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidShu Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've never played it, but I used to hear several people talking enthusiastically about it, always positively. However, it's been months since that chatter died down, so I can't say if maybe those people got tired of it (or if maybe they just gave up talking about it, since there weren't many of them in that forum to begin with). Not exactly the most helpful feedback, I know, but hopefully better than none... You probably want P3P, not P3 FES. From what I've heard, the combat will be annoying in anything except P3P, because you can't control your teammates, and the AI sucks. I played P4G first, and then played P3P afterwards, and I really enjoyed it. I actually like the P3 story more than P4, and I think some of the character in P3 are better than any you'll see in P4... but P4 is probably better overall. Anyway, if you liked P4G, go for P3P and you won't be disappointed. I recommend against Persona Q. I played quite a bit of it, but got horribly bored of the grindfest when I was maybe halfway through the game and just dropped it. At first things were novel and interesting, probably because I'd never played an Etrian Odyssey game, but after a while it feels like you're constantly in boring random encounters doing the same predictable actions. The plot and the new characters are really weak.The constant fanservice side stories are nice, but they just aren't deep enough to really sink your teeth into. Have you played P4A and P4AU before? If not, I'd honestly recommend against those, too, but I'm more on the fence about them vs PQ. They weren't a slow grindfest to tell you their story, unlike PQ, but it was still not great stuff. P3P and P4G are both amazing, and all those other releases are really just fanservice and fluff... I play them because I loved the main series games so much, but I'm still pretty regretful every time I play one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyrt Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I am currently playing this series of games and am currently on game 2 of 3. I am so far loving this series. The first game while it has flaws is an absolute classic and a tale of epic proportions whereas Witcher 2 is definitely heading on its way to greatness as well. The much more realistic and mature fantasy worlds are an absolute delight to frequent and decisions actually seem like they matter much more than other games released of a similar matter (at least for the games in which they are played). Honestly love the games so far and can't wait to play the supposedly even more magnificent Witcher 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the Barber Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have played the arena games already, I enjoy fighting games quite a bit. Even if the story turns out to be sub-par I will still play them for the fighting and persona love. Guess I'm not getting PQ. Doesn't seem like it has had the best reception on fuwa. Will be getting Dancing All Night no matter what, since it combines one of my favorites and my favorite genre. Plus Persona has my favorite music ever hands down. Ahh, if you like fighting games, then that's a different story. I'm not a fighting game person at all (except Smash Brothers, which everybody knows is very different from... well, everything else). I'm definitely getting Dancing All Night as well. Time will tell if I regret it, but I expect I'll like it - I love Persona music, and I really enjoy rhythm games, so it'd be hard for them to lose me on this one.

BookwormOtaku Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Gotten to the part where I switch over to Ion's story in Ar nosurge. It's good to see all that crafting has a purpose after all, though I kind of wonder how the inventories switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnip Sensei Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Finished Ar Tonelico. It was a really enchanting experience. Ar Tonelico fulfilled all my expectations, much like in Ar nosurge, the story and setting are really interesting and the excellent characters make it even better. Now I'll just wait for the Ar Tonelico 2 retranslation project to finish before continuing with the series. I felt like playing some other older gems I've missed, so I started Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. I don't have much experience with other SMT titles than Persona, but the Press Turn battle system is still really satisfying and the story seems interesting as well.

Jade Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Welp finish playing Ys I. Now that was a quick game to end. The combat are fun but the story are nothing to talk about but looking at the hours length it's understandable Now, unto Ys II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawm Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Finished up Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow again. Tried to get through Harmony of Dissonance again, but it's still a steaming pile of shit. Currently playing Dawn of Sorrow and Xenogears. Now I can grind for 9 souls instead of only 1... yay.

LinovaA Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Finally booted up the copy of Xenosaga Ep. 1 that my friend bought for me... and I must say I'm really liking it thus far. The really long cutscenes are great, and in fact they were one of the reasons why I wanted to play it so bad. Also, as a huge fan of Xenogears, I felt that I was obliged to play Xenosaga. I hear the later games are kinda censored though, so I'm probably going to play those ones in Japanese or something. Idk, I'll think about it when I get there.

Fred the Barber Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I've been playing Suikoden 2 on the bus. I like both the core gameplay (recruit ALL the Stars of Destiny!) and the story quite a bit, but the mini-games can be kind of weird. I was just wandering around my castle, as Suikoden heroes are wont to do, when I was suddenly challenged to a cooking battle. I had no idea that was even a thing until it happened to me! I lost, but the animations for it were hilarious, so I didn't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitsPunchSamurai Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 So i'm like super hype to play the SF5 beta, but turns out the servers are already having problems and nobody can get past the start screen.

HotTrax Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Been going through The Witcher 3 again, this time on PC. I did my first run through on console. Yay for 60fps and Ultra settings, real night and day compared to console. Looks real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
