The last game you beat,did you like it and what are you playing next?

Just beat Arkham Knight...and by that I mean I got as far as I could before I no longer cared anymore.

I found this to be the 2nd weakest entry into the series. Better than Origins but not by much. The story is meh, the new abilities are okay, and the whole batcar feels gimmicky and poorly done. After 20+ hours the game becomes one huge grind. I usually 100% this games but I honestly I have no motivation to spend any more time with it once I unlocked most of the abilities and completed half the mission.

Worth playing if you are a die hard fan and can get it for cheap.

Got some friends together the other day and we had a lot of fun with Knight Squad. There were a couple of modes where one of us was clearly the best player and basically won every time but other than those it all felt pretty good.

Playing Fallout Shelter on my tablet now. It's a lot of fun. It's a tiny tower clone, and like many new mobile games, is susceptible to the clock bug for speeding things up. I'm enjoying it, but without abusing the bug, I can see myself getting bored with it long before I made any progress on it.

In the meantime, slowly picking back up the Witcher 3. And also playing Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong.

It gets old fast once the deathclaws show up.

Didn't beat it, but I gave up on The Witcher 1. Got mid way through act 2 before I quit due to technical issues, an annoying camera, and a dragging story. I really wanted to beat this, but it felt like such a grind. Just started up The Witcher 2 which I'm enjoying much more although combat can be very difficult.

The Witcher 1 has aged horribly, it was janky when it released (dem load times!) and got better with the enhanced edition but the core game was just wonk. The sequel is one of my favorite games of all time along with the third.

Just beat Dragon Quest 4! I started playing this almost a year ago and I finally got around to finishing it last night. Took about 28 hours total. I liked it a lot! I had only previously played about a dozen hours of DQ8 on PS2, but this is the first Dragon Quest game I actually beat. It has a quaint sort of simplicity to it that I really enjoyed.

I played this game on my phone and I have to say the port job Square-Enix did is excellent. I was so impressed with the port that I went and bought Dragon Quest 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 (6 is still expensive and 7 hasn't been brought to the US yet) and I intend to play through all of them.

Next up: Dragon Quest 1! (Also, MGS 5)

Started E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy the other day and put in an hour or two. Seems decent enough thus far but there is a lot to take in as far as stats and systems and such.

Finished Batman Arkham City, it was fun but the combat becomes a slog about halfway through.

Playing MGS 5, my first MGS game. I have to say I'm really enjoying it.

Been playing a lot of Ark . Really liking the game since I joined a guild. Spent last night raiding a base. Tamed my own flying mount and now working on leveling my character.

Did you do that on your own? Did they improve the taming mechanics at all? Last I played it took literal HOURS of real life time that you would need to spend force feeding the animal drugs and food.

Did it on my own. It was a low level (16) and took about an hour. The guild I'm in now has access to kibble and prime meat so that should cut down taming DRAMATICALLY.

Higher level mounts will take longer but not as long as they use to take. That said, I helped someone tame a lvl 48 Deodiorous with low level food and that took 6 hours. This game really does force you to work in a guild to advance.

Gave up on E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy already. Just way too janky.

Leaning towards trying Bound by Flame and/or Marlow Briggs next but I have a long list of options I'm considering.

Put a few hours into Marlow Briggs. Not bad, nothing particularly special. God of War clone. Think it's pretty short, around 5-6 hours, so I'll probably finish it out.

back on the destiny grind here..

Beat Metal Gear Solid 5! I liked it a lot! There's still a bunch of side missions and harder-difficulty missions left to do, but I've finished the story (it took 58 hours according to Steam).

I'm in the same boat. I think I might finish off all of the story missions but I dunno, I am not looking forward to a repeat of certain missions.

Yeah, I think I'm done with MGS 5. Now going to focus on some "sports" games for a bit: Forza Motorsport 6 and Blood Bowl II.

Been playing a lot of Ark which I'm really enjoying. More content is coming out weekly and my tribe recently merged with another tribe to beocme the most powerful tribe on the server. This past weekend we raided the number 2 tribe that was threatening us and we'll probably do the same to the #3 tribe because reasons. It's my favorite survival game so far.

Also playing MGS5 off and on. Maybe its me, but I get easily frustrated by the stealth aspect and prefer to snipe from afar and run and gun. Once I stopped caring about the stealth stuff I started to enjoy the game more. I still try to stealth from time to time but I'm must less focused on it.

I never had to grind side ops. There's actually a ton of side ops that are incomplete for me. As far as I know the only ones you need to complete are the yellow/orange-colored ones.

Spoiler

Mission 45 is the end of Quiet's story. Mission 46 is the end of Snake's story. You are very close to the end!

Been playing Final Fantasy: Record Keeper for a few months now. Has all of the annoying hallmarks of F2P mobile games these days but something is keeping me with it far beyond the point I quit with stuff like Puzzle & Dragons and Monster Strike. Some of it may just be nostalgia, but I can pick out a few other things I like about FFRK over other games -

1. The gatcha in this is just equipment, while you still get new characters fed to you pretty often through the two-week events; with the other games it felt like I would go forever without any roster changes because the random monsters/characters you draw were rarely better than what you already had.
2. they're pretty generous with giving out mythril, which is the premium material in this game you use for drawing equipment, increasing inventory slots, etc. You get a free one every day, a second free one every 5 days or so, and usually you get one every time you complete a new dungeon for the first time.
3. Because of the equippable skills, equippable equipment, and differences in character abilities to equip things, it feels like there is always some new strategy I can try out if I'm getting stuck to maybe go a little bit further in an event. Other games felt like I got stuck at some point there was no getting past unless I paid money for orbs or whatever and got lucky in the gatcha system.

Who knows how long I'll keep it up, but I've kept with it much longer than other F2P mobile games I've played and I still haven't spent a dime.

Since I saw this post, I've been playing FFRC. I have to say, it is a lot more fun than other F2P games. Though in the early stages, it's definitely a "hurry up and wait" situation. Run through dungeons, wait for stamina. Farm gil, wait for stamina, etc.

A lot of fun, but like Fallout Shelter and others, the early stages are not as interesting.

I'm playing through Dragon Quest: Long Subtitle now, it is a fun game but it could have been so much more. Makes me yearn for another Final Fantasy 12 like battle system.

Is that the Dynasty Warriors-like one? If so, have you played Hyrule Warriors and how does it compare to that one?
