Oh whoops I need to update some stuff!
I believe I already mentioned that I got Etrian Oddysey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight, but having now cleared the story, thoughts! Spoilers ahead, ye hath been warned. Spoiler: show Most of my frustrations were related to my ineptitude at Atlus games, but at least you could still get by and focus on enjoying the story. I'm in the midst of a Classic mode run now. My thoughts on the adventures of Dex (my Classic party leader) and company later. I mentioned getting this, I know, but now: Beat: Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy Spoilers ahead! Spoiler: show Would have made 10, but SWEET JESUS, Epic Quest 2. That should never be repeated.

Get/Beat:
Witcher 3 This was on sale for $25, so I figured "What the hell?". People are losing their shit about this game, so I figured I'd give it a shot. For the most part, it's pretty enjoyable. The game sets up some cliche flags at you only to surprise you. It's not always blindly obvious what choices lead to what consequence. The combat is also kind of fun, even if it reminds me a little of Batman. Sadly the game isn't THAT good. There's little replay value. Sure you can go make different decisions and choose different skill trees, but they hardly make any difference in how you'll play the game. Your character is the same Mr. Old Balls with the same combat style. Sure there's tweaks here and there, but that's about it. Also the game drags on way too freaking much. I'm not saying it's "too long". I'm saying the game tries too often to throw needless fluff in your quests. A trip to look for someone with a clue to something you are doing turns into a 10 hour long series of quests. You go to meet this person, but he is missing, so you go to the last few people who saw him, they tell you that in order to get information out of them, you must do them a favor and kill a monster for them, but the area the monster is in is locked behind a gate, and in order to get the key, you have to do the gatekeeper a favor and gather some eggs, but chickens have been extinct for millions of years, so you'll have to traverse some ancient chicken ruins to find the eggs, but to revive the fossilized eggs, you have to have the blood of a virgin. Most of the main quest is like that. I also don't like being Mr. Old Balls. Mr. Old Balls hitting on all those young girls. Atleast the Wendy's Girl is an option. She can make him burgers every day! Get: Grand Theft Auto V I wasn't crazy about IV, but it was on special, and this game fixes my main issue with IV. THIS GAME HAS FREAKING MISSION CHECKPOINTS! What a relief. |

No experience with this series of games but it was 40 dollars off at Gamestop and I couldn't resist. Having played a little it is very fun even if I have admittedly died more than I should have. |

A portable version of Binding of Isaac (3DS) is easily the best purchase I've made all year.

I just purchased 2 items at my local GameStop and got a black pre-owned New Nintendo 3DS XL, the 3DS version of One Piece Romance Dawn, and they each look amazing as far as portable electronic games/products are made.

Get:
Jedi Knight Jedi Knight 2 Shadow Warrior Invisible Inc Satellite Reign Beat: XCOM: Enemy Unknown Played through on Normal with Ironman enabled. First attempt ended in failure because I didn't get satellites so I just lost a bunch of countries from the council. Second attempt I managed to finish the game, only losing 3 soldiers I actually cared about (one of whom fell in the final mission). This game is super addictive! Final bosd was pretty underwhelming though, double tap + squadsight + headshot meant my sniper finished him off before anyone else got a turn.

Playing: Fallout 4 (70 hours)
And I'm not even halfway through the main questline, but I'm already kitted out in max tier X-01 power armor because if you're going to roam the wasteland you may as well be pimping. Anyway, this is a Bethesda open world game so you probably already know where you stand in terms of worlds with a lot of breadth and sometimes obsessive detail coupled with systems that completely shit the bed the moment you push against them even slightly. Instead, I would like to talk about the clusterfuck that is the Settlement system. So, for those of you out of the loop the big "thing" in this Fallout is being able to build up certain areas as new towns (unsurprisingly, one of the main factions is focused around this), attracting settlers and providing them all the necessities of life (food, booze, more booze) to make them happy and productive. Of course, since this is also a game where "rape and pillage" is considered a fun pastime for many of the factions in the world, you will need to ensure that your burgeoning empire is protected by guard posts and turrets as well. Nothing too earth shattering here, and it's a natural progression of some of the similar things they were doing in one of the Skyrim DLCs. But holy shit is the implementation a clusterfuck. I know that every Bethesda game operates on the principle of "modders will fix our fuckups", but I'd rather not have to dig through all the "Clean Anime Catgirl" mods on Fallout Nexus to make building my settlements something other than irritating tedium. Shall we go through the list?
TL;DR Mechanic in Bethesda game half-assed, news at 11 EDIT: Spoiler: show NOTHING AT ALL

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - 67 hours, 43 minutes, 11 seconds Really didn't know much going into this other then it being a traditional turn-based rpg but I came outta it pretty hooked! I may have disliked the start but the fun and simple battle system kept me goin' all the way! An what a long way it was. Only rpg I've played which took longer was DQVIII. The school setting didn't suck which got helped by the fact that ya weren't in it all that much. Battlings fast & fun an is helped by being able ta skip almost all animations. An while not as deep I liked the materia-esque system they had going for magic an stat boosts. Lotsa good characters, story, an wowzers final battles! I'm so in for the sequel! |

I did like 4 years ago when I was given it for my OLD day! Dun remember much of it however o.o; Were it on a console instead of a handheld I'd have likely replayed it in preparation but I just couldn't muster up the time or care ta do so. I dun feel like I missed anything in CS by not having the first game fresh in mind.

Grand Theft Auto V This game was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was a pretty large improvement over GTA 4. There's a sense of ownership and progress, since you can do more with your money than buy guns and armor. You can keep cars as well. Though admittedly I would like to change the characters' default vehicles. As for how I think this compares to Saint's Row, I'm not sure. It doesn't have the stupid awesome fun I loved in SR, but GTA V was actually pretty satisfying. Also this is the only game where I died from trying to walk up a freaking cliff. My character tripped and broke his neck tumbling down. Inspired me to look for more stupid ways to die in this game. Get: Stella Glow I originally didn't plan on touching this, since it seemed like your run-of-the-mill JRPG. I'm still not fully convinced that I was wrong either, but everyone who reviewed it, even people who didn't like it, was going on about how obvious it was that there was alot of heart put into it. If there's any heart into it, it's probably the gameplay. It seems like the creators want to make it difficult to power your way through maps like you could in FF Tactics. I actually like how combat often plays out. Everything else seems like it'll be a generic harem in the form of a 3DS game. I did get lucky with my purchase though. There was only one copy left, and it was one some guy who didn't want the game anymore reserved. So I got a preorder edition with those bells and whistles. Tried playing: Golden Sun: Dark Dawn All I remember about this is the twitching effect on beast girl's ears. I tried replaying it, but I couldn't do it for long. It's just so slow and boring. The dialogue is painful to go through as well. So much pointing out the obvious. Tales of Zestiria I couldn't play this for long. Something about this just felt so bad. Combat is just you spamming the O button and maybe blocking. After a while, I just thought "I don't want to play this any more!". |

Atelier Rorona Plus ~The Alchemist of Arland~ - 18 hours, 39 minutes, 27 seconds Building on my experience of having played Totori and Meruru, I jumped right into Rorona and got the Bad ending x.x! Things had been going smoothly so honestly I was shocked an disappointed. Scraping by an accomplishing the bare minimum (but quite a few times above that) wasn't enough it seems. I never found out why Rorona is a fan favorite, she's not really a great character and I didn't care for her plight of saving a shop that was forced upon her. Supporting cast/party members weren't exactly standing out either. Had alot of fun playing at least! Atelier Totori ~The Adventurer of Arland - 11 hours, 27 minutes, 12 seconds Going from the Bad ending of Rorona to the intro of this game is silly cause instead of a failure she was a savior lol. I used a guide this time and followed it as closely as I could but RNG screwed me over an I kept falling further an further behind the goals. When it became apparent I was boned, I tried for a character ending since I had met all the requirements for it and yet... the needed scenes weren't triggering an so I ended getting depressed and up sleeping my way to another Bad ending -_-; Atelier Meruru ~The Apprentice of Arland - 1 hour, 12 minutes, 49 seconds Kinda a downward slope with this series characters status huh? Alchemists > Adventurers > Apprentices in terms of status. Anyways while I intended to give this game a fair replay depression over the previous failures had me down so instead I purposefully got the baddest end of them all! Which was kinda cheered me up in the end! Fate/Extra - 22 hours, 56 minutes, 0 seconds Been meaning ta replay this sooner not nearly 4 years after my first time but eh, at least I got around to it! I went with Archer this time and things went super smoothly! NG+ rocks since it carries over equipment, money, an most importantly all that enemy data I grinded for the first time through! All normal battles became super trivial which let me speed through the game! I had forgotten much of the story and Archers stuff was new to me so it was a pretty fresh experience once again!

Stella Glow I was right. This is a pretty shallow game. Despite that, I was still kind of addicted to it. Actually it's kind of similar to Kamidori Alchemy Meister. Though this game is less stupid and more cliche. Stella Glow has one rule, and that is (not really a spoiler, but people are sensitive) Spoiler: show |
