Original Generation is totally messed up though. I can hardly make heads or tails of it.
Yeah you're right, OG gets a little closer to KH in terms of the weight of its lore over the decades, but I'd still say it's not as bad, despite having more games that it draws plot stuff from.

As far as I can tell KH is deliberately confusing because confusing = cool to Nomura.

Lol at the guy who sold his ps4 just to finance the KH ps4.

Also is it just me or does the design look like crayon scribbles? Like all I see are white scratches.

lol, people are super silly. As always, Gamestop can't know how many units they are going to actually get of a special edition. Pre-order at your own risk and accept that getting that special edition may not pan out, but at least you lose nothing if you don't get it.

Mine was Ni No Kuni 2 at 69 hours. Granted 10-15 of those hours were just leaving the game on while the town building stuff was progressing.

Same, but 100+ hours, many of which had a rubber band strapped to the controller so it wouldn't fall asleep.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I put like 100 hours into Ni no Kuni 2 but that was like me doing all the content and finishing the skirmishes and the magic door dungeons and such. You get enough money to finish the town looooong before you finish all that content, like I was routinely capped out at max kingsgilders. It's kind of sad and weird that once a building has finished all its research options there's no real point to keeping it staffed so you get all these people who are like "I'd love to come to Evermore and research science!" and then after 10 hours you shove them into a mining camp for better drops.

You guys do know you can stop playing a game once you get the platinum trophy, right? Like, games get boring once you get all the trophies.

I got 31 platinums this year. I have a problem.

Do you suspend games a lot? That’s why mine thinks I played for over 3k.

I absolutely shudder to think of the hours of Souls games I racked up when I was out of work for eight months, holy poo poo. Like easily in the high hundreds

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Ace Combat 7 progress:

Everything has been going smoothly and now that I hit the (Mission 15) total blackout of communications and everything going to hell, the game finally got to that neat political intrigue phase. Although I can't help but wonder if the Belkans are somewhat responsible for every single conflict in this world. Also, in the Princess rescue mission, they play a song through the radio so I guess that is going to be the one getting remixed for the climax.

Also just finished the mission with this playing and it couldn't get more :discourse:

Apparently I played 85 games in 2018 according to that website. :wtc:

Must have popped a lot of poo poo on for 15 minutes and tried a bunch of PS plus games for 30 seconds because by my account I think I played about 20.

Also the time played log is outrageously high. Says I played 1677 (4.5 hours a day) hours when I play about 1-2 hours of games on weeknights and probably 2-4 hours a day on weekends. I don't think I've actually logged 4.5 hours in day more than a few times. Unless it's just logging all of the time I have the PS4 on because I pretty much have it on all evening between streaming, games and just idling while I'm making dinner or whatever.

I realize I'm going to probably sound like a weird non-gamer person when I ask this, but what is the point of trophies/achievements/platinum on a game? They've never been anything I've chased unless there was some kind of reward tied to them, but they obviously have tremendous appeal to be in almost every game on every platform out there.

Some people cant help but complete lists and the trophy system gets in their minds and it creates sales. Like thousands of copies of bad games with easy trophies get sold a day

As predicted in the Bible. :cheers:



When I beat a game, but I'm still enjoying it and want more, I look at the trophy list for ideas. If it's fun or interesting, I go for it, but if it's bullshit, I won't. I've only ever platinumed two games, Bloodborne and HZD, because their trophies were reasonable and the games fantastic.
