What games are you playing?

I'm really casual with games, so I've been playing Sims 4 (I'm making Sims 2 families since that was my favorite game), No Place Like Home and Littlewood (both farming sims with their own spins on it). I need to get around to playing through Ace Attorney Trilogy again, I beat the first two games (and the DLC case in between game 1 and 2), but never got around to the third game.

i picked up (and Loved) the original SONY PS1 "Rhapsody; a Musical Adventure" ("Adventure of Puppet Princess" - JPN Market)

about 20 years ago now... and i'm now finally getting a shot at it's two Sequels,

never officially localized for U.S. market until mid-2023... for the SONY PS5/NINTENDO SWITCH;

I haven't played any of the games yet but this week I started watching a lot of YouTube videos about Touhou Project. I wanted to find out more about Reimu and Marisa, and I was surprised to find they're kind of open source characters from a very cult series of games. I definitely want to find out more about them. I really love their retro style of music too, as I have a huge nostalgia of the computer age in the mid-90's. I had a Commodore Amiga A1200 for a while, and then bought a PC.

 

i've only ever played "Genso Wanderer" and "Double Focus" both of which being quite atypical

from the usual frenetic Top-Down-Shooter Touhou game formula...

Stardew Valley

I've picked up Darkest Dungeon again after not playing it for couple years. It's still fun, but I'm having trouble saving up gold though. 😅

For PC… Genshin Impact, mostly! Although I’ve been super slack since Fontaine came out and haven’t built most of my new characters, nor even got through even half of the Archon Quest. 😅
I need to finish Starfield too but having a hard time really getting into the game. Plus I keep getting sidetracked by silly stuff in the game, haha. Haven’t finished Elden Ring either but I’m sure most people would forgive me for that, bahaha. 

Console wise, I still need to finish Tears of the Kingdom too, I have such a terrible habit of getting right near the end of jRPGs in particular then just… stopping, lol. Did the same with BotW. Oops, ehe. Would like to get back into Final Fantasy VIIR since the 2nd one looks amazing and I need that nostalgia hit. 

Most recently I’ve been playing Stardew valley and animal crossing new herizens. I can’t wait for the new Stardew update comes to console. 

I've got back into playing Genshin a few months ago, I was a day 1 player and I got bad burnout from the game around Inazuma and stopped playing for like ... 2 years, haha. But I found joy in playing it again.

I am also playing Star Rail and Wuthering Waves actively, so my current gaming is dominated by gacha games that don't feel like gacha games, I guess. Oh, speaking of gacha games, there is also Project Sekai, but that I also play for the gameplay, not the gacha.

There is also so much I need to finish and yet untouched games in my backlog ... well, it will never get boring.

My usual gacha games are Bandori, D4DJ Groovy Mix, and Fate/Grand Order. Whichever one I'm playing the most at any given time depends on whatever event is going on. Currently I'm playing FGO a lot right now to grind for Saint Quartz for the upcoming anniversary.

I'm also trying to finish the visual novel Hoshizora no Memoria before Tsukihime is released in English at the end of the month.

i've been gearing up for elden ring's dlc release so i finished getting all the endings for 100% achievement completion. 🙂 i should probably finish up lies of p as well lol

I know it's 889485595 years late (thanks, university 😭), but @rudebuster is finally playing Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tbh, I've never been much of a video game player (thanks to my parents never letting me have a game console), but I like to watch her play. So far, it looks AWESOME. Also, it has Gleeoks, which look like King Ghidorahs, which is always a bonus.

The LoZ series have always been deeply ingrained in our upbringing, so it has a special place in both of our hearts. So, of course, we decided to shell TotK Link and Zelda. We briefly considered maybe BotW Zelda's hairstyle too, but TotK's is just a bit cuter in our opinion. So, thanks to that, we've added two more doll projects to our collection... Yay....

 

 

Games that I'm currently making my way slowly through are Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth, Stardew Valley, and the BG3 campaign that I started with one of my friends. It's a very long process since I tend to take long breaks between the times play, but I'll get 'em done eventually!

However, I play Shining Nikki religiously and log in every single day because the grind never stops! 😅

At least I'm not the only one. We're stuck in it together 😅

Next to all the mobage I am currently making my way through Fire Emblem: Engage and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

I'm also playing a lot of Mario Kart with a good friend recently.

Currently Witcher 2 :3 

I finally finished Sophie 2 on highest difficulty; purposefully dragging my butt off because I didn’t want it to end, I love the characters so much😭 Ending was very satisfying and I deliberately didn’t use the teleport feature to drag it on even more.

Slowly playing through my huge list of backlog. Currently playing Shadowverse Battle Champion because I’m enjoying the anime way too much than I thought (despite its flaws). I forgot how terrible I am at card games in general…

Assault Lily: Last Bullet finally released outside of Japan a few months back, so I've been playing that fairly regularly.

*poke poke* You need to play Ciel Nosurgeee 🥺

I've been so obsessed with Reverse: 1999 recently omg. I'm trying so hard to finish the last story boss so I can jump right into the new story in the 2.0 update, but jeez I'm so under leveled and get my butt kicked every time 🫠. I cheesed most of the game by using shield+counter+heal and just out tanking everything but that's not gonna work with this boss 😭

I'm also playing more Zenless Zone Zero currently. I initially wasn't too fond of it because I didn't like any of the characters very much, but now that I have Qingyi I can just button mash to my heart's delight and she makes things much easier lol

i will eventually!! I just need to find the physical copy for the switch first 😂 (my poor SD card…… I’m sorry I’m too lazy to clean those files up…)

I've been jumping back into splatoon 3 lately and havin alot of fun

I'm finally getting around to playing TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom. I loved the first one, so I'm having fun with this one too! I hope there's an epic piece of music later just like when you enter the castle in BotW. 

Anyone playing Infinity Nikki?  I've been playing it for the past couple of nights.  I like it.  I'm in for a month at least.

The only other gacha game I play is Star Rail, so that's all I have to compare the monetization to.  Infinity Nikki is a couple of notches beyond that.  

But the game is kind of like what if you took a 3d platforming collectathon, and stuck it in a blender with Animal Crossing, the Atelier games, and Style Saavy.

Otherwise, I'm playing Star Rail, as mentioned, and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.  Absolutely LOVE DQ3 HD-2D.
