GOTM is either Yakuza 2 or Fire Emblem: Awakening which I started playing again because of all the trips this month and now I'm playing it again? I'm just about at the point where I have to start throttling back how many bad guys I feed Donny or nobody else will get any experience

My game of the month is, surprisingly, Paper Mario Color Splash. Running around filling in colorless spots and solving problems for toads is far more fun than I thought it could be, and the writing is genuinely funny at times. The battles might not be as fun as they are in the Mario and Luigi games, but they've been really fun since I started messing around with the different types of cards instead of just spamming generic jumps and hammers.

I think mine was Pac Man CE2. Was that October? I'd have to double check what came out. Edit: Rez Infinite!!!

It's not like they're super easy plats or anything. I guess people that wouldn't usually care about trophies go out of their way to get them since the games have that whole reputation for being difficult But the Souls trophies are kind of disappointing because they just seem more grindy than challenging. A no deaths trophy or something would be neat

You can out level most difficulty in souls (or better yet, summon) and just look up a guide and collect everything. Also DSII has in-game achievements for beating the game without dying and one for beating it without lighting a bonfire which is a neat idea.

My game of the month was set to be Atlas Reactor but in a surprise twist Battlefield 1 is totally amaze balls right out the launch gate so it might have stolen the award.

GotM for me is definitely Thumper. Though if we're just talking about games we played this month it's Odin Sphere.

GotM for me is a tossup between Shadow Warrior 2 and Battlefield 1, both games that I didn't think I'd enjoy half as much as I am.

I'm still proud of it though because I'm a huge wimp and hadn't even walked into the chalice dungeons because of the spiders until earlier this week

DQ Builders is GOTY for me, probably. And I'm saying that while only being on chapter 2, which is supposed to be the worst chapter.

I've been playing the Dying Light DLC that came out earlier this year and I have such mixed feelings on it. It boils down to the fact that to accommodate the awesome driving they added in, they had to design the new area with lots of flat ground and roads, which massively cuts down on the awesome parkour that made the base game so enjoyable. I understand the design decision to not give you a "car, please teleport next to me so I don't have to run all the way to you" button considering the kind of setting it is and how a lot of the gameplay is about traversing dangerous mobs of zombies, but I still really wish there was one. You can get pretty loving far from the buggy while dicking around on foot. Oh, and the writing remains maybe the worst I've ever seen in a AAA game.

It just surprises me how many people are willing to go through the trouble of doing stuff like the NPC quests or collecting all rings/sorceries etc where there's a lot of looking things up. The only souls plat I ever bothered to get was Dark Souls 3 and getting the covenant items was a slog since those blue covenants were kinda broken at launch (they must've patched that by this point idk) I really like collecting platinum trophies (i'm almost at 100 which is cool/depressing) I just think the trophy lists on those games are kind of a missed opportunity. It would've been a neat incentive for speedruns/challenge runs

I only finished two games this month, but if I had to choose, probably Wolf Among Us. It's the first Telltale game I've ever beaten and I had a real fun time with it As far as unfinished games go I've been replaying Bayo 1 on Wii U, and aside from banging my head against chapter 5 for two and a half hours it's just as good as I remember it. My favorite of the Nintendo costumes they added to the game is the Samus costume since you can mess around with the visor in-game and in cutscenes by holding down on the d-pad and it's hilarious

tap my mountain posted:My gotm is still Dead Rising. I finished every achievement except for 7 day survivor and I'm not sure I really want to do it. I tried doing it while watching TV, but I only made it 22 hours before I made a timing mistake and came back to the game over screen. if you're resigned to babysit it you should look up what psychopaths spawn during which hours and plot out a path to minmax food. it's more fun at least

The story in Dying Light is eh but I do like how Crane complains when sidequest characters want him to do fetch quests (but then he does it anyway because loot is cool). Also Crane is voiced by sonic the hedgehog and I think that's real funny

Snak posted:It works out even better with DS3s weapon skill system. The caestus skill is a poise boost and damage absorption, which lets you tank hits if you time it right. So you can active it right as you're about to eat a big hit, only take a third of the damage and just pummel them during their recovery. It was pretty good in 2 because dual stance gave you way more options than the caestus in 1, but yeah I need to try out that weapon art. Now I wanna see some insane souls savant pull off something like the Daigo Parry using Caestus in DS3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtuA5we0RZU)

Every single line of dialogue is bad, and the worst of them are the ones coming from characters that are supposed to be funny.

I'm 80-odd hours in on NG+ and I only just popped that one because my dumb rear end missed the Blood Rock the first time around.  Doing all this grindy odd stuff actually ends up being fun though, just because the PvE and PvP combat are so good.

Zaphod42 posted:Except... those things are nothing alike? It isn't doing the "bazillion weapons" thing at all, there's no RNG. Its just a standard FPS with lots of guns. Calling it borderlands is wholly disengenous. Zaphod42 posted:Dude I've never spent more than 3 seconds thinking about which gems to socket and never had ANY problems. Its your own autism that's an issue if you can't stop yourself from min/maxing. Zaphod42 posted:What? I've played the game 4-player co-op for many nights with my friends and my cousin, and we've not had any issues at all. I want to enjoy killing things in this game. I really do. The weapons themselves are great. Everything else just seems to be deliberately wedging itself as far up my rear end as possible.
