i am not a member of Atelier Ayesha's target demographic. it's a good game for a 7 year old.

I like the Atelier games. They're not amazing but they're okay. Maybe I am 7 years old.

 

Lotsa stuff:

Final Fantasy VII, Freedom Planet, Fallout New Vegas, and Persona 4 Golden.

Going at a pretty good clip through Castlevania SotN. I think I'm doing okay in Persona 4, but it's hard to tell how much actual progress I'm making.

[Stars]

I beat Symphony of the Night a few days ago, though I double checked, and as I suspected, I didn't get the real ending. Might go back to that another time and finish it for reals.

 

In the mean time, I've begun Mega Man Zero (I got the DS collection a while back). It's frustrating, not because it's overly difficult, but because your lives do not replenish when you game over, and failing or escaping a stage locks you out of it. I'm told they address this in the rest of the games, but in the mean time it's a pain. I'm tempted to blow through the first game in easy mode so that I can move on to play the rest normally.

Dragon Age: inquisition is really good! Strangely, it relies a bit too much on MMO/grindy style gameplay, but most of that is optional. It still has all of those Bioware elements that I like so much, and sweet, sweet lightning spells.

[Stars]

Doing a little better in Mega Man Zero, but it's still slow going with lots of reloads.

I also got Shantae on the 3DS Virtual Console and started just a bit of that. Not much to say since I'm just getting caught up to where I was on the rom I had been using.

And I'm getting back into Persona 4 after an unintended break. Just rescued Yukiko.

I am playing Fallout New Vegas again.

 

I've yet to touch main story really, just doing a lot of exploring. I'm level 26 and I murder deathclaws. Cazadores are fucking annoying, and not very fun to fight. Don't want to know how hard they hit either.

[Monkeydog]

Cazadores are the absolute worst thing about that game.

[legacyme3]

Cazadores are the absolute worst thing about that game.

 

Actually, the worst thing about the game is the constant freezing. It's a Bethesda game, so it's expected, but I shouldn't have to expect it to lock up every few hours.

 

Cazadores, however, are a close second. Threat minimized by this gun I found a bit earlier called the "All American". Fucking wrecks shit it does, and it helps I've got both Boone and ED-E with me at all times.

 

Those guys make the threat minimal (play on Normal, no hardcore) but still terrifying to even look at.

 

I'm not a big Fallout guy (much prefer the Elder Scrolls games), but replaying these games is getting me megahyped for Fallout 4, especially since I have been to the Boston area a lot in my life. Fallout 4 might end up being my GotY, even though I'm not a huge fan of the series.

 

Of course, being a Bethesda game, I fully expect to need to restart several times due to freezes and crashes.

[Monkeydog]

The only issue I've ever had with that game came from me either abusing the console, or this weird issue where I couldn't open a door. That annoyed the shit out of me.

[legacyme3]

Game freezes on me constantly, guaranteed two+ times a night. I'm not even doing anything unusual, when I play games, I go for completionist runs, IE do everything runs. And by do everything, I mean I want to see every location, I want to kill everything, and I want the best items.

 

Unfortunately, this means file sizes get ridiculously huge (My file, which I'm only 40 hours into is something like 7MB, and it's well known that once you get past 10MB, the file is more or less unplayable, because lag takes over, and freezes happen everywhere.

 

Which really sucks, because FNV is a fun game. It would be a great game even, if they could make the game playable for people who want to do more than the main story.

[Monkeydog]

Have you tried downloading an unofficial patch?

 

I've had really long stretches of that game, even 40+, and never really had any issues. Or are you playing it on a console or something? Because that would make sense I guess.

[legacyme3]

I'm playing it on a console. I wouldn't play a game like this on PC, simply because I don't have a PC that can handle it.

 

My point being if you are going to develop a game, and have it be available on a console, that it should be able to handle itself on said console.

 

I can accept bugs, like minor side quests failing to trigger/appear. I can accept worse graphics. I can accept a lot of things out of console games, just for the convenience of playing on a console.

 

I cannot accept when the game flat out refuses to work.

 

It is flat out unacceptable for any company, indie or AAA to put out a game that will not allow you to play the game itself.

 

Fortunately, I've yet to have a crash today, and I'm three hours into my play session.

[Weiss]

I've been playing the game of.. Oh i got an XBOX ONE let's see who i can play with... and nobody ever owned one... >_>

[Stars]

Decided to test out my new (used) Gameboy Player with some Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis and Donkey Kong Land.

 

But mostly I'm still just playing Persona 4 Golden.

[Stars]

I've made it to the end of what really feels like the final dungeon in Persona 4. Except I know there are two more levels after this, and I have no clue how.

[legacyme3]

Started playing Tales of Graces F the other day. Like the other games in the series, it is good.

[Stars]

Finally completed Persona 4 Golden up through the true ending. Only took 89 hours. Going to hang on to my completed save data in case I even feel up to NG+.

[Stars]

And with that done, I'm going to have another go at Trails in the Sky.

[Monkeydog]

Persona 4: Dancing All Night.

 

Not all night though.
