Quite the busy weekend. I’m nearly finished with FF7 remake. I’m nearly done with chapter 17. Hoping to have it finished this weekend if I can. Also playing Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and a small amount of Splat Pack: AHH real monsters.
On Xbox, I’m playing Forza Horizon 4 and I just bought High on Life 2
@Tasuki no doubt. Grabbed a 1987 Pontiac TA but sort of regretted it. Fairly slow and sluggish lol. That was my “ dream car” when I was a little guy. I’m gunning for the 87 Buick regal next which is basically a grand national
Lame if true. I want to know what’s up for Zelda and Mario this year. Fire emblem yoshi, and maybe splatoon raiders will keep me busy sure, but I need more than that.
@Insert_Username absolutely. I love the RE series, but even more so in the later games when ink ribbons were dropped. I like tension, but that’s a whole other level where you can quickly be forced to restart your play through if not managed properly.
I’m playing now. It’s probably just me but I found it a bit harder starting out. I actually restarted the game file once I learned there’s permadeath. So I’m playing on easy to avoid any losses and just restart a mission if a team member dies. So far so good though. Wish you could speed up battles though. Fire emblem is classic comfort food for me, even if I haven’t played this before.
I thought it just was ok. I won’t go as far as to say it scratched that Zelda itch like blossom tales did. Even hyper light drifter and title dew 2 were far better experiences imo. Not a bad game though.
@JaxonH knowing you’re a SRPG fan, maybe give dark deity 2 a shot. May not hold your full undivided attention, but man it’s awesome. It suffered from launching the same day as silksong. Might be worth firing up while we wait for FF7
One of my absolute favorite games this year was dark deity 2. Shame it never got reviewed NL.
My favorite N game this year was probably prime 4 followed closely by DKB. The only issue with DKB is that I felt it overstayed its welcome by quite a few hours.
With Metroid Prime 4 now in my rear view mirror, I’ve started playing Wario World for the first time ever. It’s actually super fun, but can be clunky at times though. Boss battles are simple, yet still engaging.
On the Xbox front, I’m finally going back to finish my Rise of the Tomb Raider play through that I stopped a few months back. Also just fired up GTA Vice City for the first time since I was in HS. So much fun, and what a nostalgia rush. Merry Christmas everyone!

Pretty much only fire emblem path of radiance. I’m hooked.
Re: Zombies Return In Resident Evil Requiem, But Now They're More Terrifying Than Ever
@Insert_Username absolutely. I love the RE series, but even more so in the later games when ink ribbons were dropped. I like tension, but that’s a whole other level where you can quickly be forced to restart your play through if not managed properly.
Re: Zombies Return In Resident Evil Requiem, But Now They're More Terrifying Than Ever
@Olliemar28 @Insert_Username music to this wuss’ ears. I can’t play without saving often.
Re: Zombies Return In Resident Evil Requiem, But Now They're More Terrifying Than Ever
So to clarify, ink ribbons will NOT be on casual correct?

Re: Nintendo Reveals First New Joy-Con 2 Colours For Switch 2
Such a waste of an announcement. Make the controller FULLY pastel green and purple. It’s pointless.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance (GameCube) - Aged & Easier Than You're Used To, But Still A Winner
@JaxonH 💯. I’ve grown accustomed to no permadeath and rewind.

Re: Opinion: Who Needs Link? This Top-Down Metroidvania Is The Best Zelda Game Of 2025
I thought it just was ok. I won’t go as far as to say it scratched that Zelda itch like blossom tales did. Even hyper light drifter and title dew 2 were far better experiences imo. Not a bad game though.
