Hello DCC!
I also fail really badly when it comes to debating, I just give in easily.

Hi! /several hours late

I went out this morning and spent more money that I shouldn't have. The gaming backlog continues to increase >.>

Sothis March 31st, 2017 2:34 AM

I need so much new things, like slippers, for one, mine are ruined.

Aside from Red Dead 2, this is a good year for catching up on the backlog instead of increasing it.

Maybe for you...I've had so many must-have games in the last three months, and lots to come...including FFXII HD, finally.

I didn't even play the first Red Dead, so I doubt I'll bother with the second. xD

If you enjoy emotional and engaging stories, you might want to check out Red Dead 2. The first one was so damn good and if the sequel is anything like the first one than it will be money well spent.

But you are playing a FF game which means that won't be completed for a few months haha (;

Meganium March 31st, 2017 8:00 AM

My manager's husband completed the new FF game in two weeks lmao

so much dedication :o

Well...I dunno. I've branched out an awful lot in gaming these last few months, and I've found that I've enjoyed a lot that I previously would have dismissed immediately. I never thought I'd enjoy Horizon: Zero Dawn, for example. I don't like westerns and I don't like Rockstar, so I didn't even consider playing RDR...neither of those things has really changed, but even so. It doesn't interest me right now, but maybe I'll feel differently come release.

I'll plat FFXII within two weeks, probably. I'll probably forgo pretty much everything else until I do it, I've waited too long for it. xD

How's Horizon Zero Dawn? I've seen bits and pieces of it here and there, but the graphics look absolutely phenomenal.

Gabri March 31st, 2017 8:54 AM

Yay. A thunderstorm. A bloody lightning just fell not too far from here, judging by the sound.

Limey-chan March 31st, 2017 9:14 AM

Been a while since we had any thunder or lightning here, the weather's actually been quite nice and settled here lately, which is both a pleasant surprise and highly unnerving.

In Britain? That's a miracle, mate.

It was surprisingly good, I thought. It IS pretty stunning to look at (even on a standard PS4) although the character facial models cross over into uncanny valley a few times. Combat is very technical, too - you pretty much have to aim at enemy weak points (which you can scan Metroid Prime style) if you want to do any damage at all. The plot is...eh. It's nothing to write home about, but Aloy and the world sell it pretty well. She's a very interesting protagonist, and delving into the ruins of civilisation is fascinating. Don't expect anything highly original from it I'd say, but it's definitely engaging.

As far as open worlds go it's a pretty small one, but there is a lot more to do in it compared to say, Breath of the Wild, which I felt was very empty by comparison...something I tried to avoid, but it was inevitable considering I was playing them simultaneously. Although in a lot of ways it feels quite dated...you can't even jump up short ledges, which is frustrating at times. There isn't a huge amount of variety to weapons (although you can blast off weapons from machines and use them, which I felt was awesome...especially when I butchered a Thunderjaw with its own disc launcher, haha) and you're stuck with the same spear at the start which does very little, but it offers a reasonable degree of freedom in play style.

Really looking forward to the expansion later this year. I'd recommend picking it up if you're stuck for something to do...and even if you're not. xD

Sheep March 31st, 2017 3:53 PM

Yeah it's pouring here. I barely got my butt home lmao. Now it's the weekend and I'm currently waiting for our sushi order to arrive. BD

and omg video games. Barely have inspiration nowadays, even for Pokémon... normally I'd play main series Pokémon games for at least 200-300 hours but I stopped at 65ish in Sun and just never went back. Would like to, but I'm always so tired working lately and that made me lose motivation for a lot of things.

pastelspectre March 31st, 2017 6:09 PM

ooo video games. right now im playing animal crossing happy home designer again. i restarted it for the 3rd time. i normally don't like house designing games (specifically the ones made for mobile devices bc they're very greedy), but this one is one of my favorites. it's so relaxing and soothing to play.

also the weather where i live is.. probably chilly right now considering it's 9 pm

pkmin3033 March 31st, 2017 9:19 PM

I would argue it is the game's fault because I can't even bring myself to finish it because it's so bad but eh

I've been suprisingly motivated this year...I want to clear 50 games off my backlog. I've done 13 so far. However, I've acquired 27, so I'm not really making any progress in clearing it. xD

Sothis March 31st, 2017 9:24 PM

I'm not really a gamer, myself, I just play pokemon. I may do a runthrough on SM with Litten.

pkmin3033 March 31st, 2017 9:38 PM

I keep feeling like I should give SM another chance, but my masochism has its limits. xD

So much else to do right now =x

blue April 1st, 2017 3:30 AM

I'm slowly getting through Sun but there are already a couple of hacks of the games I'd like to try.

Limey-chan April 1st, 2017 3:37 AM

Still have yet to play S/M. Flatmate has said I can borrow his copy, but would need something to play it on.

Sothis April 1st, 2017 4:25 AM

I found them fun, personally.
A bit of a slow start, but fun once it gets going.

blue April 1st, 2017 7:09 AM

sun and moon is definitely up there with my favourites

no bias

EC April 1st, 2017 7:20 AM

I fear Sun/Moon may become another Black2/White2 for me. Great games I only finish once shortly after release, and then start a bunch of other runs of them, only to never finish.

I am doing a run of Sun now though that I hope to finish for sure, breaking such a curse.

pkmin3033 April 1st, 2017 7:36 AM

I'll try Moon...somewhen. Maybe transferring a team of actually decent Pokemon from Bank would motivate me to endure the faceless NPCs constantly stopping me every five seconds. I find that having a team of Pokemon I actually want to use tends to help me play the games. xD

pkmin3033 April 1st, 2017 8:34 AM

A sequel that would make Alola actually enjoyable the way B2W2 did for Unova would be nice...although I think I want DPPt remakes only slightly less than I want FFXII HD...or a Gamecube VC on the Switch...or just some games on the Switch, period. Priorities. xD
