Been streaming my 6th playthrough of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, to get ready for when I can get my Limited Edition copy of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox (which of course, I will also be streaming)

Speaking of Ys, I have finished Ys Origin on Switch the other day. What a fun game! Now I'm playing Untitled Goose Game, and that's … interesting.

Spend most my time making games or modifying an mmo to be single player. But recently played the Mass Effect Remasters, they were better then i remembered tbh I basically only did half of the content when i was younger xD

I have Ys Origin on Switch too, it was a lot of fun.

I've been playing The Master Chief Collection, I played CE, and now I'm currently about halfway through Halo 2. It's my first time ever playing Halo, and it's been very good so far!

I just finished Omori and it was a pretty unique experience! I really enjoyed the story, despite accidentally having the plot twist spoiled from reading a YouTube comment.

Things I liked about Omori:

• It has a good mixture of cute and light hearted things to contrast the darker themes.
• Characters are well written and you feel like you really get to know them well.
• Battles use emotions as status effects which is quite unique.
• All of the art and hand-drawn animations look great.
• The soundtrack is very good and really suits the game.

I would definitely recommend Omori to anyone who's making their own games with RPG Maker.

I'm playing wow classic burning crusade right now. And I am really enjoying it.

There’s a ton of content - huge zones, lots of quests, lots of dungeons, lots of chances to get tbc gold. I’m playing frost mage and paladin - probably switching to prot because everyone is looking for tanks. I think it will last a few years while they release content, then they will release wrath. Had some issues with grouping in dungeons the first night - got booted before even seeing the other players for some odd reason in ramparts, then ran with some boosted /new 60 players and it went fine. And I had no greens so no clue why that happened. Frost mages are good at slowing runners.

I've just finished playing a visual novel that unfortunately I can't post its name, but I can post the route map!


50 hours well spent! Learned a lot of English with this!

Recently I have played Portal for the first time, and it was a lot of fun! I was afraid I would be bad at it, but it ended up not being so hard!

After that I started playing Yume 2kki, I've always loved Yume Nikki but surprisingly I had never tried any of the fangames. It's really pleasant to once again be able to wander around the maps looking for effects and stuff. The game is so much bigger than Yume Nikki as well, so you get lost even more. I must admit I looked up how to find the bike effect to go faster though, because the maps are almost... too big sometimes. It took me a few hours before I was able to find my first effect lmao

Started up Digimon Cyber Sleuth and am having a blast with it. I think I may have accidentally stumbled into a quest I wasn't supposed to get until much later judging by how much xp I'm getting from battlers. I plan to be hideously over-leveled by the time I leave.

Just finished Star Ocean First Departure R and now I do a second playthrough.

star wars: empire at war (2006)

 

[TheGentlemanLoser]

I just tried Suikoden for the very first time and holy ****, the overall quality of and my level of involvement with RPG Maker games has in many ways ruined older JRPGs for me...****ing five man party can't hit **** and is stupid fragile and gets murdered by six goddamn mosquitoes in like my first random encounter on the map...and the game never prompted me to save before that, so I get a game over screen and is the game over screen in that game just eternal or something like it doesn't even say game over you just look at your MC being dead lying down against a background forever?

Of COURSE I ragequit. If this was an RM game I'd downloaded back when that was a thing I could actually make the time to do I would have already uninstalled it and had some strong words for the creator. As it is I may not try it again. Too many games, too little time.

I've still got Star Ocean and Xenogears to look forward to and stoked to replay Parasite Eve for the first time in 20 years (I hope it's aged okay).

@TheGentlemanLoser
The Suikoden games are the easiest JRPGs existing.
Its maybe in the begining a bit hard, but later its a walk in the park.
The only thing which kept me playing was the wonderful pixelart and the Story.
Suikoden 1 had other problems which could let you ragequit later, I would advise you to play Suikoden 2, this is favored by most people and a true masterpiece, even if its quite easy.

 

[TheGentlemanLoser]

I'm thinking I will try Suikoden 2, yeah.

Playing Xenogears RN.

 

[AeroPergold]

I just got Sonic 3D Blast for my Saturn. Controls are jank and slippery and the UI looks like it was made in Gamemaker. But the music is really good and has the best special stage within the classic Sonic era.

Currently chained as a slave to the Gacha game simply known as FGO (Fate/Grand Order),
otherwise known as 'Repetitive Grinding: The Game'

They just ended a rerun event & waste no time starting a new event. Seriously, no rest for the wary

tender: creature comforts (2021)

 

[lesbrarians]

Been playing NEO: The World Ends With You. I waited 14 years for this game. It's every bit worth the wait. Very excited for the post-game content and grinding to 100% it!!

 

[TheGentlemanLoser]

still "playing" Xenogears, MAN OH MAN this game is literally 80% cutscenes isn't it? And I'm told if I make it to Disc 2 somehow that aspect gets even worse. I'm approaching 15 hours in (WILL D-BLOCK NEVER EVER END?? I AM SO, SO ****ING TIRED OF D-BLOCK) in and I've only spent maybe two, two and a half of those hours doing anything that really feels like interactively playing a JRPG and the rest of it staring at cutscenes by which I mean mainly reading Fei whining. How did so many people at Squaresoft OK a game about a guy who will only talk about how much he hates gears, and fighting, but spends literally all of his time fighting, mainly in gears? Why was this idea greenlit???

Also the Battling system...why...why...why? WHY? When your main battle system is focused on more or less usually 1v1 combat in gears, and a dozen hours into the game I feel like you've barely let me scratch the surface of it, why would you ever, EVER, EVER force me to use a much worse Gear Battling minigame for the EXACT SAME THING your game's battle system is set up to do? I wish I could have been a Japanese-speaking fly on the wall for these development and design meetings, man.

I'm reading an old lets play (if you've even heard of Xenogears, chances are pretty good you know the one) for yucks as I plow through the game, reading it after I finish sections so as to avoid spoilers.

I also for reasons I can't adequately explain even to myself have been playing Namco X Capcom, a 2005 TRPG (thus far, a pretty bad one) that's a big Smash Brothers/Kingdom Hearts style cross over game, but with second and third string Namco and Capcom characters instead of characters anyone cares about. I have no idea why I am playing this and it is pretty bad. I'll be the first to admit that I am a veteran weeb, that said, this is by far and away the most Japaneeziest thing I have ever played. It is so Japanese I think there might be laws against it, like possibly under the Geneva convention? I think I am approaching dangerous levels of Japan-poisoning. Not sure how long I'll hang in or why I started in the first place but WOW this game. Peak Japan.

tl;dr I spend hours and hours playing games I don't think are good or necessarily even 'like' or 'enjoy' (although I will stop a game I am playing if my brain agrees that it is bad and I don't like it AND I don't enjoy it, STILL) what is wrong with me
