Oh huh it is. You live in the UK right? PM your address and you can have my copy, it's a great game but I'm never likely to play it again.

I do but that's ok - I'm already kind of swamped in video games and I'd feel guilty accepting it. I'm sure I'll get around to picking it up myself at some point either before or after Automata (thank you though)

the tradeoff for playing a lot of games is i dont have many long timesinkers. only one game is in the forever club, which i quit long ago

TF2 - 968hr
Borderlands 2 - 111hrs wasted
Terraria - 103
The Last Remnant - 70
Fallout 3/NV - 42 each
Oblivion - 39 too many
LA Noire - 32
Valkyria Chronicles - 31

that said, it's always fun to see how many hours i've spent playing games over 2 weeks in my steam profile. right now it's hosed though because i've been idling so it says 120 hours. but 80's not unusual for me

Speaking of DQ, what are the chances Dragon Quest XI gets a western release? I'm hoping X is a fluke in not coming here because it's an MMO and came out after FFXIV's total flop but before its successful relaunch. But XI's a normal DQ game, so we gotta get it, right?

SE have been localising everything DQ lately, so it looks fairly likely. 10 was an aberration because it was an MMO.
Make sure you buy DQ8 next month if you wanna be double sure.

I splurged a bit because I can and picked up Dragon Quest Builders and a few other PS4 games and a headset. Good lord I feel goofy as heck getting all in to this!

I was going to be gifted the PS4Pro but I figured that seeing at it was nearly £200 more and I don't own a 4K TV, I couldn't really make use of it.

I already played DQ8, though having it portable is definitely tempting.

I totally impulse-bought DQ8 back when it first came out on PS4 and fell in love. It was the first Dragon Quest game I really played (not just screwed around with as a curiosity) and I loved it so so much.

It's going to be interesting to see which versions they translate though, since it's the only game I can think of with PS4/3DS versions (and a Switch one forthcoming, will that be a PS4 or 3DS port though?) and by necessity they're pretty different.

I am sitting at the auto shop waiting see how bad the minor fender bender I was I last week jacked up my wheel. I have been here an hour and 4t minutes and I've heard an impact wrench used about 3 times in that time and no other tools. I don't think anyone works here.

Just started playing Shantae!!! So far the movement and everything is very satisfying even with only being in the beginning town. Also it's very pretty. Haven't fought any actual enemies yet.

I did just enter the bathhouse. And that music that plays there :lol:

This game IS already trying to give me way too much story though. I don't need plot in a platformer

I'm sorry that it is singed, but at least it still tastes good right?

Also I remember a post asking what the deal is with Shantae's idle animation where she like bounces back and forth, but it makes way more sense in the context of the game. It's typically synced up really well to the music, so she's GROOVIN

I assume I come back to the these levels later with some other abilities? It looks like it wants me to double jump or scale the walls somehow for some collectables. Platforming is quite fun so far.

Her crouch animation is dumb though

Yeah it's Megaman X style where the levels are mostly linear but you can't get some stuff without a later upgrade.

I just now discovered the Shantae games myself. I don't like the interface of the first one though so I might skip it and play Pirate's Curse first.

Is Half-Genie Hero the best one or is Pirate's Curse still the best?

Waiting for the end of the day and then I'll play some World of Final Fantasy or Battlefield. Getting the wife a laptop for Christmas was a great idea because now all she wants to do is play Stardew Valley and I get the TV all for myself. I installed the "look up anything" and "NPCs appear on the map" mods and it blew her loving mind. She spent 120 hours making detailed notes and keeping the wiki open on a tablet, and now it's like the training weights are off.

Bit of both really. Pirate's Curse has much better abilities, no transformations, and is a bit more challenging.
Half-Genie is much much nicer looking, has a better soundtrack, and is a little more convenient to navigate/backtrack around in.

Every Shantae game has the same issues of being about 50% mandatory backtracking and mostly being really easy except for a few random spots.

Pirates Curse is still my favorite but if the Risky Boots mode is Half Genie with pirates curse movement it may be pretty even

Hell, even Mass Effect 3 had a lot of good parts. It's the series's gameplay highpoint and the multiplayer was surprisingly fun.

I'm no longer so in love with Bioware games that I play them multiple times like I did with KOTOR and Mass Effect 2, but, I mean, I didn't hate Dragon Age Inquisition, so I'm cautiously optimistic for Andromeda.

These are good points and cement my own cautious optimism.

Also I beat Thomas is Alone last night and it was fun and cute. Not as good as VVVVVVV which I beat earlier this week but still neat. Gonna have to find some more indie puzzle games on the Vita.
