I have to admit...I wish Pokemon would slow down on the releases. I haven't beaten Pokemon Legends Arceus yet and that game would've given me my Pokemon fix for the next few years.

I'm thinking about dropping Indivisible. I'm having a tough time pushing myself through it even though I'm only 7 hours in.

I am however continuing both Fossil Fighters and Xenoblade 2: Torna The Golden Country. I'm having a lot of fun with those two still!

I'm trying to continue playing Indivisible but man this game really isn't doing it for me. I initially bought it because I thought the combat was cool and I loved the art style but nothing is really grabbing me.

Other than that I am on chapter 4 of fossil fighters and I am really enjoying that game! I'm still surprised I haven't heard of it until recently.

Alongside that I decided I would do a 100% completion playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna The Golden Country. So far, I am having an absolute blast. I forgot how funny some of the post battle conversations are in this one 😂.

Can one of y'all speed up time so we can get to september please? 😂

Haha, my Wii U was truly a smash bros & Netflix machine at the time:

I wasn't old enough back then to buy my own games so I always had to wait for birthdays or christmas 😅

This might forever be the most disappointing release on switch for me personally. I don't think anything else has ever made me so happy and then instantly disappointed like this release when it was announced

Honestly, I haven't played too much this past week unfortunately. I'm still playing Fossil Fighters here and there but that's about it. I might try and replay Xenoblade 1 and 2 just to hold myself over until Xenoblade 3 comes out.

I don't understand how people have a problem with the accents. Like I understood people didn't like Xenoblade 2s english voice acting because there wasn't good voice direction, but I never had a problem with the accents themselves. I thought shulks voice actor did a fantastic job, and honestly, I can't imagine him without a British accent lol.

I CAN'T WAIT! This is EASILY my most anticipated game of 2022 right now!

@Edwirichuu DUUUUUUUUUUUDE OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD I CANT TELL YOU HOW HYPED I AMMMMMMM

@Edwirichuu Honestly, I have no idea what Xenoblade 3 would be like if it's announced. (Spoilers for Xenoblade 1 and 2) I think it would be cool if we got to play as Klaus during the events before he recreated the universe like a prequel, but of course, that's unlikely to happen lol. I wouldn't say no to seeing the Xenoblade 2 characters again in a future game though.

Only a few hours to go....the wait is killing me lol

Personally, I really want to see Xenoblade 3 but honestly, I'd be hyped over just about any first-party announcement lol

This game is super underrated! I enjoyed the main game but the post-game is soooo addicting!

@Primarina This is just my opinion but 4 player raids weren't really good imo. It took away the thing that I loved about Pokemon which is strategy. Idk if anything has changed since I haven't played SwSh in 2 years but from what I remember you can't apply any status affects or buffs because they just get removed instantly. So raid battles just turned into using your super effective move and then wait for your next turn. Since there's 4 players this process drags on way too long.

Also you said "Every Pokemon game before SwSh only had PvP" which isn't true. Gen 3 and Pokemon Platinum for example allowed players to do things like co-op battle tower together along with other multiplayer features in battle frontier. I also want to add that the wild area isn't really special anymore since Pokemon Legends Arceus came out and does it better.

The only thing that makes SwSh special compared to the other games would be curry and Dynamax but I don't really care about either of those personally.

I finished up Shin Megami Tensei V last week and it was a total blast! It started to drag slightly towards the end but I'll definitely be doing a new game plus playthrough. I heard that if you do a "reborn" ng+ playthrough it only takes 3-4 hours to get to the final boss.

Anyway my friend recommended me this game called Fossil Fighters. I've never heard of it before but I started it a few days ago. So far I'm really digging it! (No pun intended 😜)

Wait I still haven't bought the first game yet 😅

Just like everyone else I started Pokemon Legends: Arceus. It's a bit slow at the start but I'm only like 2 hours into the game. I decided that before I continue to get deeper in the game I'm going to finish Shin Megami Tensei V first! I'm towards the end of that game!

I don't care TOO much about graphics but I do expect them to be at least satisfactory. I don't absolutely despise the graphics in this game but I wouldn't call it one of the best-looking games on the switch either.

I am now 30 hours into Shin Megami Tensei V. This game is amazing. I do kind of wish there was a bit more story but the gameplay really makes up for it.

God, I remember thinking how crazy it was when they bought Zenimax. I didn't think it would get even crazier!

As many others said, all I need is a Nintendo direct around that time and I'll be fine 👍

I started playing Indivisible last week. It isn't a bad game at all but it doesn't seem to hold my attention like I thought it would. I love the art style and combat but whenever I play for just 30 minutes it feels like I've been playing for hours. So I decided to take a break from it and start Shin Megami Tensei V. It's only been 6 days since I started and I already have 15 hours in the game! Man if I played this game last year when it released this probably would've been my game of the year. I didn't expect myself to be so hooked on the gameplay but here I am 😂.

This is going to be my first Kirby game and I am so excited!

@somebread Oh that's good! I was worried I was gonna have to find some other way to play the first P4A 😂. Thank you and @GameOtaku for clarifying!

So I'm a bit confused here. I read that persona 4 arena ultimax is a direct sequel to persona 4 arena. Is that right? I thought it was a sequel to persona 4 golden and "ultimax" meant it was supposed to be the definitive edition or something lol.

I finished Sonic Colors: Ultimate a few days ago and it was alright. I can't believe the end credits were so long lol. Especially compared to how short some of the levels were.

I always wrote off Splatoon because just from looking at it I didn't think I would like it. Once I actually played it I was hooked! I'm kinda sad I didn't jump into the game when the Splatfests were going on. Definitely going to be looking forward to this game!

This year already looks better than last year and I'm super excited! My only problem will be finding the time to play everything lmao

Merry Christmas everyone! I got Shin Megami Tensei V and WarioWare: Get It Together for Christmas! I see Final Fantasy VIII on sale as well so I might pick that one up as well. Before I start any of those though, I'm on the final chapter of Ys IX so I'm hoping to finish it soon!

I've been playing Ys IX and I'm currently on chapter 6. I do have to admit I think I enjoyed Ys VIII a bit better but I am enjoying this one so far!

I really need to get around to trying SMT 5. I keep seeing clips on youtube about the interactions between demons and they're hilarious lol.

This was my favorite reveal from the presentation! I can't wait to play it!

I didn't play too many games that released this year but I think my personal favorite is NEO: TWEWY.

Both Monster Hunter Stories 2 and Metroid Dread are close behind. Ys IX might also be up there but I can't say yet because I haven't finished it.

I had mentioned this on another article somewhere but earlier this week I finally finished Persona 4 Golden and man I have so much to say about it but I'll try to keep my thoughts brief 😂

I think my favorite character is actually Kanji. It's funny when I first met him I thought he was going to be annoying but man I freaking love him! A close second is definitely Marie though. Simply because I always find it funny when she makes Rise jealous 😂. Truthfully I didn't expect her background to be related to ameno-sagiri. However, I will say I didn't really understand why she "dropped" so many poems in the velvet room. I get the feeling I probably missed something.

My least favorite character is probably Teddie. I liked him at first but admittedly the amount of times he flirted with the girls got a little annoying 😅

The overall plot of the game was fantastic! Persona games were always a bit intimidating to me because of how long they are (even compared to other RPGs) but I'm surprised that the plot was really able to keep me on my toes the entire time!

There was so many things that I didn't expect. I really couldn't tell you how much my heart broke when Nanako "died". Also last week I found out Adachi was the true killer and I guess I badmouthed him a little too much so my comment got removed 😅. In that comment I mentioned how unsettling Adachi's evil face looked after seeing it for the first time. However, there's this ending called the accomplice ending and turns out Adachi has this even CREEPIER face that's EXCLUSIVE to the accomplice ending. Super unsettling stuff 😅.

One thing that I didn't quite understand: Do we ever find out who actually killed Dojima's wife? I know Dojima talks about how she died but it doesn't seem like we ever found out who did it. I was expecting it to be Adachi after finding out what he was really like.

Anyway I got the golden ending for my first playthrough and it was totally worth it. It hurt saying goodbye to everyone and boarding the train but I was happy that the golden ending allowed us to return! I loved seeing how much everyone changed (Yukiko had the best new look imo 😜). Even Namatame was running for Mayor! It almost felt like another universe 🤣. Goodness man I felt so empty after finishing this game lol. I can safely say I understand the hype behind this series now.

TL;DR: Persona 4 Golden is easily one of my favorite RPGs now! I might do a ng+ playthrough sometime in the future. It was a beautiful game and I'm looking forward to playing more persona games in the future

For all I know it might be another spin off title 😅. I would love to be wrong though!

Dude I literally just finished persona 4 golden on steam 2 days ago! Talk about good timing for me 😂

@link3710 Forgive me but I don't see why that really matters? They said a new smash game would need a smaller roster and removing clone fighters (since they're counted as separate characters and have their own spot on the roster) is an easy place to start.

Unpopular opinion but I really wouldn't mind if they cut down the size of the roster. To me personally a big roster doesn't equal a good game.

They could remove Dr. Mario, Pichu, 2 links, all echo fighters (except for maybe ken) and 2 fire emblem characters that aren't echoes (maybe Ike and roy). The roster would shrink by 12 from doing this and if I'm being honest I wouldn't miss any of those characters

Hey, that's a pretty cool feature!

Even if they aren't on the list...we know the real answer is The Wand of Gamelon or Faces of Evil

Looks like I'll be at work when this is going live but that's alright. I always look forward to the discussion that happens afterwards lol.

I wonder if the Castlevania Advance Collection will eventually drop
down to $5 like the Castlevania Anniversary Collection did.

I bought Ys IX since it finally went on sale. My family and I are driving back home today. It's supposed to be a 13 hour drive so I'll be playing Ys IX pretty much all day lol. Once I get home I might do some more Persona 4 Golden as well

Still having a lot of fun with Persona 4 Golden!

From the mainline series I'd rank them like this:
1. Pokemon Gold
2. Pokemon Platinum
3. Pokemon Emerald
4. Pokemon Black
5. Pokemon Yellow
6. Pokemon Sword.

I haven't played any Pokemon games from Gen 6 or 7.

I decided to take a little break from doing my 100% completion playthrough for Dragon Quest XI and I decided to hop back into Persona 4 Golden. I've just gotta say Persona 4 is absolutely amazing! Initially, I was going to pick up Shin Megami Tensei V on day one but I decided to hold off until I finish Persona 4.

So I finished Final Fantasy IX and that is now my favorite one atm! It was a wonderful journey! One of my favorite parts was when Eiko wrote that anonymous love letter to Zidane but it ended up getting lost and whoever found it believed it was for them 😂. I actually laughed out loud when Steiner thought it was from Beatrix and vice versa lmao. I mean hey, I guess it did end up working out for them.
Honestly it just had a lot funny moments like this but it also managed to make me really sad at times too. Vivi is my favorite character from the game so you could imagine how I felt when I found out he died at the end .

So now the only FF game I have left to play on switch is FF8. I've heard a lot of interesting things about that one so I can't wait to see for myself 😅.

For now though, I've decided to jump back in to Dragon Quest XI and try to complete it to 100% completion. I've currently got 49 side quests finished so I'm a little more than halfway done with those. I've also started Fast RMX which is a pretty fun game from what I've played so far!

I can't believe this game is actually coming out soon. After so many years of waiting it doesn't feel real 😂.

I hope Ys IX goes on sale at some point lol.
