The thing is I'm having trouble lowering my expectations because Nintendo apparently sent some of their ambassadors on YouTube a box that says "break in case of extreme excitement" right before E3 so...
Still been busy with school and work so I couldn't play much again this week. I did make a little progress in Doom Eternal and I also started Castlevania Bloodlines from the Castlevania anniversary collection. Honestly those Castlevania games are perfect to play in short bursts!
Outside of that I've also revisited Bayonetta 2 and did like two levels. I'm thinking I should hold off on progressing and get back to it once Bayonetta 3 is announced.
I'll replay games if I enjoy it enough. I've played through XCDE about 3 times thus far and I want to replay XC2 at some point. (I honestly think XC2 has one of the best Ng+ modes I've ever seen). Otherwise, (if they're short enough/if I have time) I tend to replay games if a new game is coming out for a series that I heavily enjoy. I'm probably gonna go through the No More Heroes games again a little before No More Heroes 3 comes out.
I actually haven't played much this past week because school and work have been crazy lately 😅.
I've been pretty hooked on Doom Eternal and hoping I can finish it next week! I also did a few levels in Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon. Other than that, I haven't played much else.
I'm buying this day one for sure! I was actually thinking about getting the first 3 dragon quest games on switch for a while but I decided not to. I'm really glad I held off lol!
Well, it's been over a week since I finished Nier: Automata, and I still can't stop thinking about it so I decided to try and complete the game to 100% completion.
I've also started persona 4 golden which has been pretty fun so far. I remember some of the characters from BlazBlue cross-tag battle and it's really nice seeing them again lol.
On top of that, I got back into Doom Eternal. Right now I'm at the ARC Complex which I think is the sixth stage. I really enjoy playing it in handheld mode but I also worry that my joycons will drift when playing such a fast-paced game.
I've always seen such split comments on if this one or the first one was better. I finished the first one last year and while it was a super charming game, I have to admit it did drag a bit for me. I don't know if I want to get this one but maybe I will if it goes on sale as frequently as the first one.
I only played it last year but I'm really glad I got the chance to play it portable! It's such a fantastic game! I've still gotta finish up the DLC for it!
After three months I have FINALLY finished FF12. Lol it's never taken me so long to finish an RPG before but I feel so accomplished now that I've beaten it. Tbh even though I loved the gameplay, I still think this is my least favorite Final Fantasy so far.
I also recently got to ending E for Nier Automata last night....man I literally cannot stop thinking about it! I didn't want to delete my save file when it gave me the option because I was thinking about completing the game and getting all the endings. Honestly I kinda feel bad the more I think about it lol.
I still feel like I have so many questions (I think I might've missed what caused project gestalt to fail) and I definitely plan on getting Nier Replicant sometime. I kind of want to wait for a sale but man...I'm really tempted to pick it up right now lol.
I've got persona 4 golden in the PC backlog as well. I'm excited to give that game a go and see what the hype surrounding persona is about!
I am continuing to brute force my way through FF12. I just made it to the end of the first ascent and I thought I made it to the end of the dungeon lmao turns out I've still got the second and third ascent to go.....I've gotta be honest, I have no clue how people finished this dungeon without auto saves in the original version. I heard the story events at the end of the dungeon are super good but I'm really tempted to quit and just watch the ending on YouTube.
I've also finished my first playthrough of Nier Automata. I didn't realize the game required multiple playthroughs so when I got the first ending I was kinda surprised it ended the way it did lol. I also bought persona 4 so I'll have that to jump into afterwards and I'm really looking forward to it!
At this point, I feel like Mario Kart 8 deluxe has been out for so long it would feel weird for them to add DLC for the first time after 4 years. I mean then again...Mario party did get its online update years later...
Gosh dang it, I hate it when nintendo announces an amazing game on such short notice 😂 I was already planning on getting Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 in June! Not to mention all of the amazing RPGs coming out in July....my wallet is never ready 😂
Man, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is one of the earliest memories of video games that I have lol. They had a PlayStation and N64 at this after-school program I used to be in when I was in Kindergarten. I remember playing it constantly, the thing is I don't remember which one it was in particular lol. Luckily both 1 and 2 are included here, so I can't wait to pick this up!
Maybe I'll remember which one I used to play once I hear the soundtrack lol.
I feel like even if Mother 3 got localized the game would have so much hype to the point where it ends up with unrealistic expectations. I played the fan translation and it was great. I don't usually emulate games at all but the fan translation was so simple to do so. I'd really recommend the fan translation if anyone REALLY wants to play it at this point.
So I'm still trying to finish FF12 (Currently 50 hours in)...I've got to be honest I'm kind of ready for the game to be over.
I think the gambit system and quickenings are super cool but that alongside balthier is all I really like about the game lol. I'm at pharos right now which is apparently the longest dungeon in the game and I REALLY don't feel like doing it. But it's also the second to last dungeon so I don't want to quit when I'm so close to the end.
Aside from that I finished Ys VIII to 100% completion last weekend and let me just say...that was such an amazing game! Finishing it completely was such a bittersweet feeling. Even though I'm a bit sad the adventure is over, it put me in the perfect mood for Ys IX! The next game I'm gonna try to complete to 100% is Dragon Quest 11!
Since FF12 is dragging so much I've been playing some Doom Eternal as well, but I only enjoy Doom in short bursts. So, I've also been playing Nier: Automata on PC! For all I know I might finish Nier before FF12 lol it's been super fun thus far!
I would prefer themes over folders (tbh I'd still be down with folders though). I said this before but I think amiibo should include themes and new profile pictures related to whatever amiibo you have. I've got a ken amiibo and would love a street fighter-themed switch lmao.
Well, my 100% completion playthrough for ys 8 is almost over. I'm currently at the final boss but I want to get S ranks in all the hunts/raids so I can max out adols reputation. Hopefully I can finish it this weekend! After finishing this I think the next game I'll complete to 100% might be Dragon Quest 11.
I'm also slowly making my way through FF12. I'm not sure how far I am but I just made it to old archades!
Ys IX is probably one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I'm almost done with my 100% completion playthrough of Ys VIII so this is a perfect release date! It also releases a couple of days before my birthday so I guess I know what I'll be asking for lol
Honestly I'm so happy the studio is doing well! I'm hoping we get to see what they've been up to when E3 comes around. I know it was mentioned that Yasunori Mitsuda and ACE+ were working on a new soundtrack together a few weeks ago. The only time those two have worked together in the past was for the Xenoblade soundtracks (I think) so who knows 👀. Only time will tell though.
So I played the demo for Cris Tales earlier this week and oh my gosh I loved it! The way they handled the time travel mechanic is so cool! I ended up playing the whole demo in one go and was sort of sad when it ended.
Aside from that, I'm on the third level of doom eternal. I've been enjoying it a lot but I'm currently stuck on one part and haven't gone back to it yet lol. In FF12 I reached the sochen cave palace. I initially took a one-week break from the game because I was struggling with King Bomb but I only found out yesterday that he's an optional boss lmao.
I'm also still on chapter 5 of my 100% completion playthrough for Ys VIII, I'm taking it slow but I'm enjoying every second of it!
I've been continuing my 100% playthrough of Ys VIII and I'm currently on chapter 5! I'm so glad I chose to replay it because now I'm even more amped for Ys IX! I also did make some more progress into FF XII, I think now I'm at king bomb. I only did one attempt and got destroyed lol.
Recently I caved after a stupidly long day at work and bought Doom Eternal since it was on sale. So far it's really fun! I'm only about 5 hours in but for all I know, I might end up making this my main focus.
Still waiting on those first 2 games to come to switch. I've been keeping an eye on this series for so long now but I've also been trying to avoid spoilers lol. Honestly, I might just cave and get them on Steam or something
