Brian Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I have been trying to get through FF16. I find it pretty boring. Also trying to wrap up Sea of Stars. Ready to face the final boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my highest recommendation for an indie party game. (it's $6 right now on PC with 3 other party games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Going to take on Ganon in TOTK next. I love the 11th hour new mechanic addition, I'm really glad I didn't have that spoiled for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't but saw Max and the YOVG guys playing it and it looked like a lot of fun. It seemed to be a lot like Gang Beasts so if you're into that silly grabbing and punchy ragdoll stuff you should enjoy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 ToTK is done! I’ll want to go back and clean up some of the Shrines I missed, and maybe some light roots in the process. But overall, very, very good game. I pulled out my turret rover schematic from early in the game to take on the gauntlet. Hardly had to swing my sword. I definitely feel like I cheesed it, but hey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Booted up both Pikmin 4 and Final Fantasy XVI yesterday. Oddly enough, there's a light-footed, roller-skate quality to the movement that they both share, that I dig a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardAct Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Been playing Elden Ring and loving it............. That was up till the Fire giant! Fuck that guy!!! I'm level 121 and just could not get that guy down. So I had to walk away for a couple days. Started up the new Forza and hooked up my G29 wheel and have been loving that also. Game pass is a great service at a reasonable price! Today I fired up Elden Ring again with the mindset of 20 tries and then put it back down again if need be. After about another 4 tries I changed up my ashes of war (AGAIN of course) on my generic +18 sword to one with bleed from lighting and also decided to slow it down and was successful today. Pretty great moment I must say. Had to be at least 150 tries. I know that's what these games do but it's not healthy to be that frustrated!!!

crispy4000 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 FFXVI is so my jam. I don't mind the switch to action combat, for this entry at least, and the vibe it strikes is just exactly what I wanted from this series for ages. Graphics mode and motion blur set to 3, the way Digital Foundry recommended. I definitely don't mind 30fps here coming off Zelda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your disagreement with the critical reception just motivates me more to find out for myself. Absolutely nothing so far makes me want to quit it. I am glad I waited for them to fix the motion blur. That much would have been hard to take on release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a few hours in when they patched to turn it off. I'm not trying to ruin your experience but kinda giving you a heads up. I honestly think everyone that played it here thinks the same way. It did have epic scenes that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy being the voice of dissent. I'll champion games like Skyward Sword when others won't in spite of its flaws. I can also tolerate a good amount of JRPG cheese. But yes, we'll see.

Enjoying any Wii game that heavily relies on motion controls is an unpopular opinion. Pretty sure we're still in the mintority. The Zelda cycle was a thing, where people love the newest entry, then hate it and bemoan the fact that the old, previously hated one was so much better. I haven't seen that happen so much with Skyward Sword though. Instead, people say older 3D Zeldas are better than BoTW/ToTK but avoid mentioning SS by name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dualhunter Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Started Astlibra Revision. Beat the first boss using a ton of healing items but went back to an earlier save because I had bought a bunch of stuff from the shops yet. Boss was much easier the second time with some more levels gain and new gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
