Is that a mobile game, or a console game?
I'm pretty burnt out on my replay through Tales of Symphonia. Didn't realize the Steam version was the remastered version they put out on PS3. With the extra achievements (specifically, getting the extra titles for each soulmate option), it now takes a minimum of 5 playthroughs to 100% the game. Which is also false, because they fixed a long standing typo in an achievement, and broke the achievement. So now the game can never be 100% complete for anybody who didn't "pop" the achievement before they fixed the typo.
Might switch back to Xbox 360 and start migrating my save games into the cloud in preparation for moving to an Xbox One next year when scorpio comes out.
PC. It's Diablo in the Marvel Universe.Quote:

there is this thin in the adventure mode where you have an old school zelda map that you work through each section at at time unlocking items and what not. however some of them are hidden which requires you to use other special items to revel them. But each item is only one use and a single section could have 7 hiding spots. So I'm not sure what the best way to mange this.
So I tried playing Bloodborne, I cannot do it though. I swear these consoles this gen are junk. I am not the best Souls' player but I can beat the games (1,2,3) and Bloodborne felt slightly easier to be honest, but I did still die and when I did holy crap the load times! Bloodborne seemed really cool but I cannot handle bad loads and low fps, that is a deal breaker.
I'm pretty sure you can grind to get additional items, but instead I just cheat.Quote:

Yeah I'm doing that, but you still need to grind for items to get them and then use them. I put it on hold though as I work through Bravely Second. Such a great RPG. THough all that goes out the door July 15th when my copy of MHG arrives.
Played through Zeno Clash and Zeno Clash 2 over the last few weeks. Not bad, pretty janky, but they did first person melee combat pretty well. Gets praised a lot for the uniqueness of the setting and designs and such but sometimes it felt like being weird for the sake of being weird.
I liked them, but they wouldn't be for everybody. You'll know well within the Steam refund period of 2 hours whether or not you'll hate them, though, imo.
So, the wife and I have been playing Pokemon Go. Other than that, I'm replaying FFXIII on PC (picked up on steam sale) and a few couch coop games (Castle Storm, Zombie Party, etc.)
Any standout tips? Trying to get into Pk Go because so many coworkers and friends are playing it, but I don't load it up that much. Took forever just to get to level 10. I guess it's hard to level up without my nose in the phone while walking around. :)Quote:

I actually made it to level 17 by taking a coworker's advice. Once you have tons of basic creatures like Pidgeys, pop an experience egg and evolve them all. You get double experience with the egg, so 1000 xp per evolution. Considering the number of pidgeys, rattatas, weedles, etc I had... it was pretty nuts. Got 3 levels per egg. Then just trade in all of the creatures you evolved except the highest level one, so you get a candy per.
If you're just starting out, do the above, and like taggart said catch them all. Specifically target pokemon that only require 12 candies to evolve if you have a choice (pidgey, weedle, caterpie, etc).
Anyone have any other good tips?
- Unless actively fighting in gyms etc, clear out your potions to make room for more pokeballs.Quote:

- If you happen to be near an opposing team's gym, fight it while you have the egg active, each battle run can get you 1000-1500 experience with the egg active.
- Early morning and late evening a lot of rarer pokemon seem to spawn. (This is an observation based on EDT in Georgia.)
- New update to the game fixes something I've been wanting: Favorited pokemon can no longer accidentally be transferred to the professor.
Out of the current 142 possible pokemon, I've caught 99. My wife is up to 101. Unfortunately, a lot of the evolution's are going to take a lucky find, or months of still-lucky finds for the rare lower level guys to get enough candy to evolve to the even rarer high level guy.
Not playing a whole lot lately, mostly still just playing the same long term stuff (Marvel Heroes, Assault Android Cactus), but I have started a few new games lately -
- ENYO Arcade - meh.
- Flywrench - Lots of fun, but I can only really play it for a few minutes at a time for whatever reason. Could probably beat the whole thing in just an hour or two otherwise.
- Epistory - Typing Chronicles - Also lots of fun, but I've been a big fan of typing games in general for just about my whole life so YMMV.
All of the issues with Pokemon GO are making me want to play an actual mainline Pokemon game for the first time in a while. Played pretty much every game in the series starting on launch day up through Black and White, but haven't played any since then, so I think I missed 3 (Black/White 2, X/Y, and Ruby/Sapphire remakes). Have some friends playing X right now so I'll probably grab Y.
Battleborn is not bad, quite surprised by the amount of fun I'm having with it.
And this weekend it's part of the humble 2K bundle. I might have to grab it.Quote:

Randy Pitchford is indeed an idiot. Battleborn is a really good game that was marketed terribly.
Wow, I've been away for quite a while, SF has quietened down a fair bit. Anyway, last game I'd beaten was Doom and it was a hoot, not quite sure what I'd try next.....perhaps The Witcher 3.
Wow, not updated my games since Feb. It's sad the Sharky's has become a distant memory at times. Have since finished up The Bureau XCOM Declassified, the new Tomb Raider (2013), Fuse (which my son and I played co-op), and Far Cry 3. Right now working through Fallout 4 and will go to finish up Wasteland 2 once I'm done with that. Afterwards I HAVE GOT to play Alan Wake. So, so behind....
Still sticking with Epistory but it feels like the developers started with art style and storytelling method and just shoehorned a typing game in there somewhere where they could.
Been playing Monster Hunter Generations and just hit the 50 hour mark. I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet. I'm finding it a lot easier then previous MH games but I'm still having fun with it so :shurg:.
Might get back into Ark since my old tribe group is looking to start up again.
Finished Epistory. Opinion unchanged. Not a strong recommend.
Played through Jazzpunk. Fun enough if you're into really off the wall humor. Finished it in about 2 hours, wouldn't pay the full $14.99 but on sale for <$5 would be a good pickup.
