just beat BOTW. Such a great game but the ending was ****. Got all the shrines and 62 of the side quests. I'm tempted to 100% it minus the seeds. not sure wha tto play next. Might do Nier: automation or Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE.

Well I like strategic games not sure why they are not coming, nowadays I always play Rise of Nations from Microsoft.
If you give it a few days, that will be a good time to revisit for the 100%. (First DLC)Quote:

I'd guess I'm over halfway through and still really enjoying it.
I still have Persona 3 and 4 I need to play. Are they even worth playing at this point?
I hit a wall with Persona 5 and now I don't know if I have the drive to see it through to the end. I'm hoping it's just a hump and not a reflection of what is to come, but my god man my current dungeon and the story surrounding it is boring as hell.Quote:

I haven't tried going back to a previous game after playing a newer one, but I would guess it's a bit tough. Each new iteration adds a lot of polish and helpful features while removing some of the negatives.
I knew there was something weird about this dungeon from the way Sae talked about it in the interrogation.Quote:

Played a bit of the zelda update. Got killed by the master trials.
Last night I finished Shadowrun Returns. I've moved on to Shadowrun Dragonfall. Apparently after finishing that I can mess around with a bunch of mods for the game. I've also been tinkering in player unknown's battlegrounds some.

Final tally for the Steam sale was just Tembo the Badass Elephant, Stephen's Sausage Roll, and some $.49 DLC for Dungeon of the Endless.
As I was paring down the list to things I really wanted I kept thinking that I'd rather be spending the money on something like a game for an old console instead. May pick up the two Lost Kingdoms games sometime soon.
Only thing that gives me pause is thatQuote:

It was pretty basic, that's for sure..but the story was good enough for me. I thought of it as a PnP session and was able to get through. The final boss battle is a pain.. For their first game off kickstarter it was good. The second one has expanded on it and you can tell there is a lot more polish and depth. The combat system, gear, etc has improved. There are also quite a few user made campaigns that add to it.Quote:

However, if you are only an RPG fan and theme/turn base/some other thing hooked your interest in the game, then skip it all and just do Hong Kong as it is most polished.
Patches and some bigger upgrades when the expansions came out have resulted in a lot of QoL improvements between the launch version I played and the 2017 version you played. Being able to save anywhere is the big one (used to have no way to suspend battles at all) but there was a smattering of other changes as well.Quote:

So close to the end of Persona 5 and I think I have one single confidant that may not make it to level 10 (Tower). Currently at 8. I have enough days left to finish it in theory but his availability is pretty spotty, and at least 3 days are no-gos because of the final dungeon and one last mementos trip.
Don't laugh to hard fellas..but I started playing SWTOR MMO and I'm freaking hooked...haven't played an MMO since I stopped my sub on LOTRO years ago. Now that I have my own desktop I downloaded SWTOR to check it out and I can't stop playing! I subbed for 6 months, so I'm entrenched in it until the end of the year LOL.
Oh dear.Quote:

Up to the last boss on Persona 5. Going to do some farming so I have money to start off NG+ (currently at under $100,000 after finishing up as much of the compendium as you can do before NG+).
I've still been playing Rainbow Six Siege and Samurai Warriors 4-II and also I've added some Gigantic and Splatoon 2 into the mix.
Taking longer to get 100% trophies on Persona 5 than I expected. Even with a custom built super Persona to take on the secret boss I think I'll still need to clear 3 or 4 dungeons to be a high enough level.
Other than that, starting to pick off some of the smaller games in my backlog -
- Finally finished Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (have more or less just needed to finish the final boss for a while now) and I would definitely recommend it to Metroidvania fans. Technically the 4th game in the series (I think the first two are free) but it's not particularly story heavy so you can jump straight in.
- Started Rise & Shine. Got it from the Adult Swim Humble Bundle and am not too impressed, though it's not bad. Controls are a bit overly complex for what it is, new mechanics get mixed together quickly enough that the difficulty is less organic and more "this feels like a late game boss transported to the beginning" way, and there's a ton of that low hanging fruit gamer referential humor that a lot of indies pepper their games with (eg a crowbar monument on a pedestal, grafitti that's clearly supposed to be Sonic the Hedgehog, etc.).
- Finished Two Digits, which I really liked. Had it in my Steam wish list for a while before I noticed it was on mobile as well, and I think mobile is the place to play it. Math based puzzle game that isn't too complicated and works really well on a phone.
Been absent from here and gaming in general a lot because of work. When I do get time to game, I don't want to face anything super complex.
Last games I've played are Minecraft (great for turning off your mind for awhile and just leveling a mountain, etc.), and Megadimension Neptunia VII. The Neptune games are a dumb throwback to oldschool JRPG's. I've played through 3-4 of them now, and they are good enough to be worthwhile when you get them on Steam Sale or Humble Bundle. They also have the oddest mix of pro-feminism storyline and anime fan service I've ever come across. Not sure how to read that one. :confused:
Probably will be awhile before I play many more, since now I'm focusing on redoing some plumbing in the basement in my "free" time.
Got up to 185 seconds in Devil Daggers a few months ago, but for some reason the data didn't save so my record was still stuck around the 150 range. A few days ago I finally got it back up to ~182, though.
