Resident Evil Requiem and Final Fantasy VII Remake will take over this weekend. Probably 2 h into the former and Chapter 9 for the latter.

I beat Persona 3 Reload and although there was a super slow build in the story, the ending was powerful. Easily the best out of 3-5.

Also beat Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, and thoroughly enjoyed the game minus the green crystal collecting.

Happy gaming.

Persona 3 Reload - Only a few days left until the last boss. Great game, but 4 and 5 are better in my opinion.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade - Making my way through Chapter 9 and trying not to rush.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined - Two islands beyond the demo.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A - More online battling.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - More exploring/completing some shrines. Currently up in the North East.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond - About 9 h in and just unlocked the spider ball. Searching for more upgrades. Having a lot of fun with this one.

Final Fantasy Tactics Ivalice Chronicles - I’ve been playing through this one since release on Tactician difficulty. Just met Cloud in Chapter 4. Working on side quests for now.

Resident Evil 0 - More exploring. Not sure I’m a fan of just leaving items on the floor.

Virtual Boy Wario Land - Moving toward the second boss.

Trauma Center Under the Knife (DS) - Made it to Chapter 6 and had to take a break. The speed in which you’re expected to execute is a bit too much. One surgery I spent probably 30-40 times trying over, and the victory felt so good.

Happy gaming!

Persona 3 Reload - Currently in early January and starting to take it easy. More and more Tartarus and seeing whether I can complete all social links.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade - Currently on Chapter 9 and trying not to rush through.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined - Just started the next island after the demo.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Online battling.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - More exploring/completing some shrines.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond - About 8 h in and just finished the volcano. Having a lot of fun with this one.

Final Fantasy Tactics Ivalice Chronicles - I’ve been playing through this one since release on Tactician difficulty. Just met Cloud in Chapter 4. Working on side quests for now.

Resident Evil 0 - Beat the second boss and found a new key. Will progress today. I would like to finish this before Requiem, as this and RE6 are the only ones I haven’t played that will not be in the 3 game box deal.

Virtual Boy Wario Land - Moving toward the second boss.

Trauma Center Under the Knife (DS) - Made it to Chapter 5 and wow, what a fun and difficult game. Some of the surgeries made me want to throw my DS across the room, but the feeling that you get when you finally succeed is great.

Happy gaming!

Re: Review: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Makeover & The Best-Looking DQ Ever

MegaChem

@larryisaman Absolute joke? What is the incentive to manufacture a Switch 2 GKC release if an upgrade is available? Your stated example applies to a game that was only physically available on Switch 1. Examples of a simultaneous release with an upgrade path aren’t that abundant, such as FFT Ivalice Chronicles. Maybe for FFT this was because the Switch 2 physical release was a code in the box.

Persona 3 Reload - Currently in late December and starting to take it easy. Back to Tartarus and seeing whether I can complete all social links.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade - Currently Chapter 7 and enjoying revisiting this game. I wish I could play through on hard at the start, but oh well.

Persona 3 Reload - currently in November and still my main course this weekend. Crushing Tartarus.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 - Floor 13. Excellent coop game.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Beat the game but still may visit some side quests.

Star Wars Outlaws - Still loving it and around 5 h in so far. Finally able to fly around in space.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A - participating in season 5 a bit more.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - still on my way to the volcano and just reached Goron city. Will for sure complete the third Divine Beast.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond - Just started this one and so far have completed two bosses. Beautiful game.

Final Fantasy Tactics Ivalice Chronicles - I’ve been playing through this one since release on Tactician difficulty. Just finished Limberry Castle in Chapter 4. It was a bit tough as I’m trying not to grind.

Happy gaming!

Persona 3 Reload - currently in mid-October and still my main course this weekend. I would say the story is weaker than 4 or 5 so far, but still good.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 - Floor 13. Excellent coop game.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Around 21 h in and presumably near the end. Graphics update on Switch 2 is fantastic.

Star Wars Outlaws - Still loving it and around 5 h in so far. Huge Star Wars fan and this resonates way more with me than Cyberpunk did (I’ve dropped it and should probably pick it up again sometime).

Pokemon Legends: Z-A - participating in season 5 a bit.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - on my way to the volcano and just reached Goron city. Will try to complete the third Divine Beast.

Last night I finished the Dragon Quest VII demo and was surprised as to how long it ran. Placed my preorder and looking forward to the whole game. Happy gaming!

Persona 3 Reload is the main course this weekend. Currently about 40 h in and the update makes this game play very well. Also working my way through Luigi’s Mansion 3 with my kid. Excellent coop game. I think I’m close to the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, so will spend some time on that as well.

Edit - I forgot yet another game! Started Star Wars Outlaws and totally loving it as a Star Wars fan. Performance is impressive for a portable.

Inspired by the multitasking wonders of @JohnnyMind, also going to be mixing in some postgame collection in Pokemon Legends: Z-A and the third temple of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Happy gaming!

@Metaphor1987 “Most people” and “which won't appeal to almost anyone” [sans reference to any data] is never going to be an argument that holds. This is your opinion. I appreciate it and understand your points.

I will be double dipping because I care less about the format of the game. Maybe many others are in the same boat, but who knows, right? A total of $40 to play this game with the dlc (which I missed with the PS4 release) plus an MtG booster pack sounds great to me. Can’t wait to play.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles (NS) on Tactician difficulty! So excited to visit this game again after too many years to count. It has been great so far because I forgot a lot of the story lines. This will consume my next month.

Also, I’m at the very end of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (NS). What a game and sad for it to be over soon (but perfect timing for the next release). Happy gaming!

Cyberpunk 2077 - Somewhere in the middle/latter half of Act II. Will beat a few more side missions. Getting close to finishing the act.

DK Bananza - Playing this one through with my daughter. Super fun and somewhere around layer 1000. The bosses get a bit more complex further into the game.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Just completed Lanayru Temple. On to the volcano. For sure this weekend.

Raidou Remastered - Completed the 8th chapter last weekend and will aim to finish the next. Such a great game. Teleports me back to the PS2 days.

Persona 3 Portable - Reached the 47th floor of Tartarus. Completing a few requests and building social links.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Time to conquer divine beast #2. So great revisiting this one on Switch 2.

Lastly, The Legend of Zelda Windwaker - Just completed the first dungeon. May get to the next dungeon if I get the chance. Happy gaming!
