koifish | 562 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 taking a break from wild card to play Final Fantasy on WS. It has SFC-level graphics but still keeps the spells/day system and other traits of the original (well, you can choose to turn on autotarget, but I keep it off to preserve the original design). Text is all in kana, so it's easier to read, even if I still have to look up some words here and there. FF players, have you seen how expensive poison cures are? I got poisoned in temple of chaos, and found that it's cheaper to just go out in the field and let the poisoned person die and then go to resurrect them, than it is to heal their poison. At some point I will have to pay out for poison heals though, because the temple of chaos is just full of poison-givers. I'm also revisiting Mario Adventure, the SMB3 romhack. Have you played this before? If you haven't played it and if you love SMB3, then you should REALLY check this romhack out. I don't know how to beat it, but it is really fun.

Aguy | 777 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox. It was on Game pass years ago, but I only got 30% through the story. So I'm going into to it pretty fresh. I feel like the controls are a little complicated. I've already killed multiple people on accident when I just wanted to talk to them.

Kguillemette | 1,569 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Super Paper Mario About 4 hours in and I find the game absolutely charming. No it's not perfect, it lacks the strategy elements of TTYD and feels very imprecise as a puzzle/platformer with RPG, which is what this is. The story is adorable however and Count Bleck is a wonderful villain to add to the extended mario universe. I'd be lying if I said this game is not fun. I just might play this to the conclusion! I want to see what goofy things and 4th wall breaking antics there are to be found here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s different from the other Mario RPG games but I had the same reaction as you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMan52 | 2,483 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Playing through the PAL release of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell on GameCube. Played through the American release last year (backlog challenge). Also playing Sonic Origins Plus on Switch. I found Hidden Palace Zone in Sonic 2. Almost missed it...I got hit by that spiked ball and fell down to what is actually the entrance to Hidden Palace.

Kguillemette | 1,569 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Game night! Mario party 5!! The pace is much faster than other Mario party games I've played, and the mini games are mostly fun. A couple have been total duds though, and the kids agree. One difference this Mario Party game has is that you are really playing against the board as much as the other players. The stars are always within reach it seems, and you are mostly trying to make them out of reach for the other players. Still very fun, but the consensus among my kids is that Mario Party 7 is the best among the ones we have. So far we have 5, 7, 8, 10, and Top 100, and DS. I'd like to track down 6 for a reasonable price, so the hunt commences! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,153 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Starfield. It’s pretty good. It reminds me a lot of Borderlands, but Starfield takes itself way too seriously. It would probably remind me of any other Bethesda RPG if I had played any of them. There is like way to much to remember. I wish there was like a dumbass mode where the game just made decisions for me for gear, weapons, loot, etc. 8 hours in and I still have no idea what the stats on anything are or do nor do I care to learn. I got it with game pass, other than that I’m not sure I would have bought it at MSRP. Maybe at Xmas when it’s 39.99 or 29.99. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kguillemette | 1,569 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Speaking of NSO, they just added Crusader of Centy. I'll be giving that a spin in the near future! Always wanted to play that one legitimately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguy | 777 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I haven't picked up a controller all week, but still working through Starfield NG+. Hopefully I'll have some time this evening. I think Atelier Ryza 3 will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabonga | 2,390 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I was in the middle of a replay of Banner of the Maid when my switch console went south. Since it is in the hospital I finally got around to hooking my Genesis Mini 2 up to my tv (I spent half a day fighting with said tv to get the HDMI ports to work) . I am currently in the tavern battle in Book 3 (with the drunken revelers) in Shining Force CD. While the first two books are pretty much run of the mill for early SF stuff - not bad but familiar - Book 3 and the Museum battle make up for that in spades. On the bright side when the switch comes home I am all set up to use it on the tv now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
