Still trying to get the platinum trophy for Ghost of Tsushima and do the expansion.

After that I’ll either go back to Life is Strange 2 and continue that game or start we ❤️ Katamari which arrived in the mail a few days ago.

Oh and the fortnite dragon ball super event ofcourse, still want to unlock that glider and the emote and still have 26 levels on the battlepass left until I’m lvl 200

@TedGundy I have to agree with @CharlieGirl
The game’s themes are very heavy even if you have no mental issues yourself. And if you have issues like I have the game is especially very triggering. I did think the true ending was worth it but I don’t think I’d recommend this game to people that even doubt wether they can handle the themes.
And yeah this is an assumption but your response sounds very much like coming down to “man up” or “git gud” and those are not very good mindsets when it comes to themes like self harm, depression, guilt etc.

@moodycat if your issue was the gameplay than, no, omori isn’t for you.
If your issue is a kid going on a silly adventure the answer is also no.
However If your issue is the tone and themes of earthbound and undertale, in that case omori might be something you’d end up liking.

TL;DR gameplay is earthbound, game structure is earthbound and undertale, game tone and themes are its own unique things.

No spoilers ahead unless you count the amount of endings as spoilers.

@MARl0 there’s only 2 endings that require a full playthrough and both playthroughs are completely different. The other endings can be done on a normal route by making a seperate save at the end and making basically 4 different choices for how to respond to certain spoiler events. The only one left is an extension to the true ending which requires a certain action to be done 3 times in a playthrough.

Beat God of War 4 yesterday and trying to get the platinum now.
Besides that still trying to get the fallguys fortnite skin, thought I had until the 17th but apparently it ends the 10th.
Other than those I’ll probably start something new, thinking about final fantasy 7, wild arms or trails of cold steel 1.

Playing yakuza 5 ps4 at the moment on my ps5 which I’m about halfway through with.

Also bought tiny tina’s wonderlands at a sale for ps5 for €25 which I’ll be playing after. It’s actually my first ps5 game I bought myself new/not used since my launch pre orders, all my other pickups where either used or gifts.

Besides that I am still playing fire emblem fates birthright on my 3ds, animal crossing new horizons on my switch and forza horizon 5 on my XSX.

Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - All Stamp Side Quests And Rewards, Stamp Cards, Achievement List, Tips

Just 100%ed the game today including all 50 achievements. Usually I need guides but this game is 100% easily doable guideless. The game literally tells you where’s what for every quest and if you go for 100% you’ll get a general feel for where all crystals, gems, resources and enemies are when you need to grind.

Also tip for those struggling with the lvl 50 trophy. Put the game on hardmode and redo the first boss. All bosses give the capped 9.999 exp on hard mode and the first boss is an easy kill on hard, second one too but the first is shorter and doable damage less with ease.

EDIT: and if you struggle with hard mode you can do the 4th boss with all lvl 4 exp multipliers. That gives 9.999 too. Although I’d argue the 4th boss on easy is harder than the 1st boss on hard, despite all bosses supposedly being just as hard on hard difficulty.

I’m a fan of it if it’s consistent or when it has multiple versions during 1 console gen if it has enough per iteration to seperate them on a shelf.
Xbox does them the worst. Nintendo and sony are consisten. If I see platinum hits and essentials for ps3 at flea markets for €2< I instantly buy them because I like them. Even if I already own the regular edition of the game on ps3.

Playing fire emblem fates birthright on my 3DS. Not liking it as much as awakening so far but still a great game.

Gonna finally start yakuza 5 on my ps4/5. Only have 5, 6, LaD and dead souls left to play. Played all other games including the 2 judgment games and fist of the north star already.

On xbox I might start mass effect 3, and next week I’ll play yoku’s island express.

With the chance of my comment being deleted.
LRG is a scam FOMO company that betrayed their original costumers from their original psvita days. From stuff like removing their “preservation” and “forever physical” slogans and removing all traces of those slogans because they “never” had them to shipping the DOOM collection with the original patch thay has the always online DRM despite the update removing the DRM being launched before the physical got announced to having shiren the wanderer on pc be a code in the box because it undersold at pre orders and they never announced the change from a DRM free disc to a code. And many many other things.

EDIT: have been wanting to say this for a few LRG articles now but this seemed like the perfect one to share my grievances.
