I started The Last Remnant.

 

So far I'm not pleased. I quickly discovered I could not easily set-up my controls for the keyboard. I dislike having the game tell me 'Press RT to combo attack.' and then waste 5 minutes of my life trying to firgure out what that eqates to on the keyboard. Of course there is no translation anywhere in the settings either. Yay... this is all before I actually got to a save point. I eventually gave in and just started using the controller.

 

AFter I got past that business I then noiced how pretty the world looked. (I haven't seen much of the setting, but it looks nice thus far.) The scenary, coupled with the music, makes it feel like the creaters tried for a Final Fantasy feel. I think that's what drew me to this game in the first place. The actual story is progressing alright, but feels choppy.

 

I'm not far into the game,  but so far I'm still interested.

Hyperdimension Neptunia: Victory, is pretty alright so far. I'm about 30 hours in I think, though a lot of that has been spent idling around.

 

The fourth wall was broken in the first 2, but uh...

 

It feels like they took a sledgehammer to it in this game, since the fourth wall doesn't even seem to exist. The game is so self aware it's creepy.

Been playing golden sun

[legacyme3]

So I beat Hyperdimension Neptunia: Victory (got the good ending... I could go through and do the Normal and True endings now, but I really don't want to go through the tutorials again. Bad game design to have unskippable long tired tutorials. Shame, since once you get past the tutorials it's a fun game, albeit short.) and now...

 

I'm onto Borderlands 2. Tonight I got up to Sanctuary in a couple hours.

 

I got the Trophy for finding the guy who is supposedly a rare spawn in Sanctuary too. In my first time in Sanctuary. Damn. That's lucky, since post patch, he's a really rare spawn apparently. I also used one of my golden keys (because I have 10 thanks to various Shift codes) and got a pistol that does nearly 100 damage and another that has a nearly bottomless clip.

 

I know in time these guns will be weak, but it's still nice to feel OP for a moment.

[Vicious Parker]

Yeah, those golden keys are like a drug..

[legacyme3]

I want to stockpile the rest until I hit my max level. But it felt good to use one.

Rogue Legacy.

 

New Game+++

 

Lots of money, lots of dying.

[SpazCat]

Played with RPG Maker VX Ace today. Nothing more, just that.

[3DS]

I've been playing a lot of Path of Exile. People who loved playing games like Diablo should really play this. Did I mention it's free to play?

[Stars]

You are one of the few I know who have played to this point of Rogue Legacy, so I'm actually curious to see if you felt the same I did once you started to get wicked strong.

 

You feeling the game becoming "easier" or do you think you are actually getting better at the game?

Having played New Game +3 a few times now, I can definitely say that I am getting better out of necessity. New upgrades don't help nearly as much as they used to when some enemies can still kill you in 2-3 hits. And you do not get one-hit kills anymore (although two hit kills are not out of the question with a maxed out crit%.

 

On my most recent run, I got through the main castle area taking almost no damage, beat the boss, taking almost no damage, then got through most of the forest before dying to one of those obnoxious acid flowers (7 projectiles) teamed up with some skeletons (9 projectiles each). Ended up with 96,000 gold, and it would have been a lot more if I hadn't given that stupid elf 15,000 to take a chance on one of his stupid chests...

 

EDIT: If it wasn't already obvious, this game is super addicting.

[Stars]

*cough*

 

Just finished plowing through the other three bosses and the final boss on NG+3.

I've already been fighting the strongest forms of the normal enemies since NG+2, so I haven't had to learn many new patterns. NG+4 is pretty much the same stuff, just with larger groups of enemies with somewhat higher stats. It's still more difficult, but it's not as jarring as the first couple levels of New Game+.

 

By now I've maxed out all of my stats except for Mana, Magic Damage, and Carrying Capacity, and those won't take too long with the amount of gold I'm finding. I'm inclined to say that I probably won't play much longer at this point...but like I said, it's addicting. <_<;

 

EDIT: On the other hand, I havent beaten any of the remixed boss fights yet... Might try to do those again soon.

[SpazCat]

Pokemon Global Link now has an attraction to go with their PokeMiles.

 

It's called Balloon Pop.

 

So I've been doing that.

[legacyme3]

I played more Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale...

 

I barely made the 200,000 pix deadline, thanks to the guild guy buying an overpriced Spear when it was already overpriced. (It was during a period where it's higher priced than usual.)

 

Now I have to make 500,000 pix in a week?

 

Goddamn it. And from the calender's lack of a day after it... I can only guess it's the last day.

[Stars]

...Just beat NG+4. I think I need a new game to play. xp

[legacyme3]

I finished Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale (or at least the main story of it.)

 

It took me another try though. My first go, I came up shy, though I made a valiant effort and made almost all of the 300,000 pix I had in the last 2 days. I figured out the winning formula 2 days too late I think.

 

On my following loops, I had over 1,000,000 pix by the time my 2nd payment (like 30,000 pix?) was due. I pretty much coasted to the end from there once I figured out the easiest way to make money.

 

I'm torn on how I feel about the game being beaten so easily. On the one hand, very few people will beat it on their first try because the common prevailing thought is to listen to the game's instructions. Some will get close, but very few will figure it out in time to win on their first playthrough. Those who do, may have had help.

 

However, anyone with half a brain will beat the game on their second attempt. Fortunately, I have half a brain at least.

 

My only complaint with the game is that Endless Mode isn't available from the start. The game isn't hard, so it's not a big issue, but Endless Mode, without any concerns about paying back a ridiculous loan, is easily the best part of this game. Though I have yet to try Survival Mode or NG+ (I honestly doubt I'll try them, since the concept is just as easily beaten as the game's story itself)

 

I'll probably go back to it later, and just go dungeon diving, and trying to find all the events, and leveling up all the adventurers (as well as maxing out my merchant level and upgrading my shop!), but for all intents and purposes, I am done.

 

I'll probably pick up Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters within the next 24 hours, but no promises. I just spent 3 hours powering through the second playthrough so I could say I beat the game.

 

All in all, I would reccommend Recettear, when it goes on sale, if for no other reason than it is a rather unique concept in an age of gaming that is focused on repeating the same tired genres over and over, ad finitium. It's not too long (It will take you about 10 hours to finish the game in its entirety, which is counting your almost certain to fail first playthrough, and your almost certain to succeed second try.)

 

I will give this game one more bit of credit though.

 

It has possibly the saddest game over that I have seen recently.

Yeah. If you lose, this poor like 14 year old girl ends up in a cardboard box, all because her stupid father took out a huge irresponsible loan and left his daughter to fend for herself.

 

It is just crushing to think about.

I never did start playing Super Mario World yet... Anyways I'm playing through Phantasy Star. I've decided to play through the game first before playing any other game in the series. xP And I'm playing it on my Genesis through my Everdrive MD. :V

[legacyme3]

I played and finished Cherry Tree High Comedy Club.

 

I wrote a pretty long synopsis/review on Steam if anyone wants to read it.

 

But the tl;dr version is I have mixed opinions on the "game". I didn't really like it.

[Stars]

Downloaded the Minecraft demo this morning. Going to give it a try after clinicals.

[SpazCat]

Fiddled with RPG Maker some more. I've created the first map with one event. It took me 15 minutes to get the event correct. I only looked up a tutorial after the fact. I'm brilliant, I know.

[legacyme3]

Playing Chantelise. Not a fan so far.
