what kind of games do ya'll play?

I've finally gotten to playing Horizon Zero Dawn and I feel super creepy for even saying this, but that character design of Nil (the guy who loves killing bandits with Aloy) is pretty good looking. I mean, sure, he loves killing a bit too much and lusts for blood of his enemies (who doesn't right? j/k), but dang whoever created his facial features and eye color needs an award. It actually effected my choice of what happens to him after all those missions are finished! God I'm so shallow...

On a side note: the graphics for the facial mapping are excellent even with the minor bugs that can pop up with that stuff. The tiny details in the people's mouths, around the eyes, even the way the eyes move is really something special and makes every person seem more real than the typical dead-eye, plastic faces most developers show up with. *cough* Mass Effect Andromeda *cough*

Right now I'm mostly focused on Love Live School Idol Festival ... even though I haven't logged in in ages, whoops. Mostly because I was still really bitter about not pulling the URs I wanted so it was like 'ehhh why bother'. Also mostly because I haven't been super invested in many of the events that have been happening lately (I only really go HAM on the Nozomi and Dia events, because those two are best girls.)

 

Other than that I'm mostly a casual game player. I'm also really sentimentally attached to the MOTHER series, as I have a family of OCs named for the attacks in the games. c:

nowadays, i don't have much time to play PC game, just play 1-2 mobile phone game lol..so far i'm still playing Monster Strike & Mortbal Kombat X

I went back to playing Fallout 4 again. Really fun open world game, but certainly has it's faults and bugs. DLC's are "ok", but still worth purchasing to get more out of the game. F4 definitely has the most irritating bunch of companions ever created.

The only individuals I can tolerate taking along are Dogmeat, Deacon, and Hancock.

There's a reason a large amount of memes were created for the most annoying characters like Preston, Paladin Danse, and Curie.

The other ones I haven't mentioned are bland beyond all reason and it was a struggle to emotionally connect with them.

I have been playing Persona 5. The game is pretty good when it lets me play it. Sadly, most of the time I'm stuck in dialogue scenes with unlikeable characters who say the same things over and over and over and over and in a story I don't find the least bit interesting. I'm tired of being told to plan out my game days only to have all of them consumed by cutscenes followed by a cat forcing me to go to bed. I enjoy the game elements, but the game doesn't seem to want me to ever be able to do those. I enjoy the dungeon delving and combat, but it has started to become more than a bit samey, probably because every time I get to a dungeon I feel like I need to stay there as long as possible because it's the only time I feel like I get to choose what I do rather than the cat deciding.

 

I just got Super Robot Wars V, and after only playing the first battle I can already tell I'll be dropping Persona 5 like a hot potato to play with the Yamato and Gundams instead.

Those two sentences are probably the best/most succinct /most accurate review of the game I've had the pleasure of reading so far! I feel this pretty hard. Morgana's guidance was helpful during the first palace raid, but after that it really became a nuisance for me. I've been told it gets better, but I'm on palace number 3 and he shows no signs of releasing me from his little kitty claws. Given the dialogue options I end up selecting, I probably deserve it

 

You can, however, romance a character who gives you the ability to spend your evening as you like after coming back from a palace/Mementos instead of going straight to sleep.

 

... unlikeable characters who say the same things over and over and over and over...

 

I promise I'm not trying to start any arguments here or sway any opinions, but I am dying to know who this character is/these characters are.

oh F4.... you are a nice game, but a terrible Fallout game ... but loaded up with mods (Old World Radio!! the greatest of mods!!) you are at least a lovely distraction as I get lost in my own literal backyard only to be shredded to bits by ghouls

 

Bethesda, please we beg you, hire more writers!! Design & code you got the hang of, now how about better writing (or beg Chris Avellone to contract for a bit... i dunno)

All of them to a certain degree. Everyone is pretty one note. Ryuji and the cat are the worst culprits.

 

I'm not trying to start any arguments either. I actually really wanted to like the game. I had sunk 30 hours in before I said enough was enough. I just started to feel there was never going to be any payoff to the suffering the game was putting me through.

^ ^ ^ THIS ^ ^ ^

The romance option is laughable and shallow at best. Certainly could've done better with the stories too, but eeeh....it's Fallout and I love it's universe regardless of ugly faults staring me in the face intensely. Guess we all have to slurp down this cafeteria slop until Bethesda decides to bring it's A game next time.

Super Robot Wars V is super fun! Did you get the English version? As someone who's been playing SRW games since the PS1 days, actually being able to understand what's going on completely changes the experience.

 

Are you planing on playing as Chitose or Souji?

It's like Bethesda looked at BioWare and reaaaally wanted to copy that romance & speech wheel thing but didn't look closely enuff to actually make them GOOD. Yes Bethesda, there's a reason why the first F4 mod was "full dialogue menu" fix

 

Not sure who to blame for weapons change. Weapons degradation with use & need to repair was an excellent feature in prev games, why lose it?!?! Especially since Boston is freakin covered in garages with weapon modding stations...

I got the Asia english version.

 

I already forgot the default name of the character. I chose the lady pilot, so Chitose?

 

So far I'm very much enjoying myself. Played a little tonight even though I was mentally wiped from work today. Blew up crap at Pluto and had a blast.

Well exactly to all you said! Sadly I'm playing the PS4 version which is extremely limited on which mods I can add atm.

The ultimate irony of F4 mods, of course, is Achievement/Trophy disabling

yes, on PC especially, Bethesda's official stance is "mods are cheating" ... but you can pop open the console command and literally do anything (including triggering specific flags for Achievements) and nobody cares

Its like they know their game is so busted we gotta tweak via console ourselves.... had to do this with Cait: her affinity numbers were well over 1000, yet the game glitched on her confessing to me every 5 minutes but not giving me her chara-specific perk!

Plus at one point had Dogmeat's chara-number memorized to respawn his furry butt as he kept vanishing

That's unreal what you can do!

It was really laughable when Bethesda openly encouraged gamers to add mods willy-nilly to cover their own lackluster creativity and blandness. Kinda sad when fans had to improve upon what the company could've easily fixed or should've come up with in the first place. Certain people or entire teams need to be reevaluated for improvement at their headquarters. They got real dang lazy with F4 and fans had been waiting for that game's release for ages! What a letdown after the Skyrim masterpiece!

But like I said before, despite F4's glaringly obvious flaws and disappointments, it's still a great time waster and entertaining enough for me to lose myself in which is why I'm returning to it.

I just hope the next Fallout game will have drastic improvements.

Has anyone completed Persona 5? I've been so busy studying that I won't be able to play it until after all of my exams are finished

Has anyone completed Persona 5?

 

I haven't completed it yet, I'm maybe halfway through? On 7/20 I think, about 35 hours in. Of the Persona games I've played (3, 4 golden and now 5) this is the best one imo, you really have something to look forward to!

I love platformers and RPGs! Never really could get into first or third person shooters (I have terrible aim haha) but since I got my Ps4 I've been playing Overwatch like crazy!

I just got Super Robot Wars V, and after only playing the first battle I can already tell I'll be dropping Persona 5 like a hot potato to play with the Yamato and Gundams instead.

i allready completed chitose and soji in all scenario with speed and power robot...

and i found out that i can finish 1 map in a single turn with single character

Right now it's a fantastic mix of Overwatch and Style boutique.

Oh wow, someone else who plays Style Boutique! Style Boutique/Style Savvy/Girl's Mode (why the different names for every region idek lmao) are a really fun set of games. Which one are you playing? I started with the second game, but then played the first before moving on to the latest one. I sometimes use it to plan out outfits for my OCs/dolls. I have way too many Style Savvy screenshots saved as lazy character references.

 

As for me, I'm finally getting around to playing Story of Seasons Trio of Towns, and I have Fire Emblem Echoes next in queue.

Thoughts on the E3 news anyone?

Ni no Kuni 2 will undoubtedly be great. But the one I'm looking the most forward to is Beyond Good & Evil 2.

Thoughts on the E3 news anyone?

I watched the Nintendo presentation today. As a Pokemon fan, I'm glad to hear the next main title will be on the Switch, and not some sort of 3DS predecessor... I was afraid they'd refuse to put Pokemon on a home console.

 

As for the other conferences, I enjoyed the flashy trailers, but I pretty much only play JRPGs so there's not much I want to play.

Thoughts on the E3 news anyone?

 

why the hell is Shadow of the Colossus getting yet another HD remake/rerelease but without ICO?!?!

also, who's the idiot who created the trailer without using any of the music. SotC punch-in-the-feels is as much music as the story, and the trailer just has generic action noises/ Screw that!!

 

Sony: we don't know what an original IP is, but we can cash in on your nostalgia in remakes

PS: Vita might be our ginger bastard step-child, but have Undertale on it. Because.. reasons...

 

 

Of course Bethesda is all "next year, u can play Skyrim on your pocket calculator!" so really

All the pretty trailers & not a single game interested in. Kinda strange (to clarify, games announced months ago, like DanganRonpa 3 don't count. That's diff hype)
