2/5. Setting - S Tier, Characters - A Tier, Story - D tier. Everything was working for me in this game until the final chapter. That seems to be a pattern in Dontnod games.. everything is great until the final act. And since this game only has 3 parts it has that much more effect on the overall score. If they just removed all the fairytale stuff and kept it rooted in reality this could've been incredible.

think I told this story but we moved over the pandemic and when we got to our house i searched facebook market and found a 32 inch sony wega CRT and when picking it up I caused like... thousands of dollars of damage to my girlfriends car trying to get it in the backseat. She got so pissed off lmfao. I bent the door, scratched the car and the seats got all hosed up, and the guy helping me carry it got a hernia. Overall it was worth it lol

The sequel is legitimately great. I'm probably at that "been so long since I've played it I've forgotten everything" stage where I'll go back and replay it soon.

Just did the same thing with Yoku's Island last year and it was just as great as I remembered.

it may be the perfect Metroidvania imo

BTW https://ggapp.io/ is a cool site to keep track of your games. I like it more than backloggery since it's easy to make custom lists like "Games Beat" etc. I've been using it the past few years since it was unsure whether this site would fall into the grasp of satan himself but I continue to use it because I like it

https://ggapp.io/synthy add me from here, i think

That's also something I didn't bother with. I'm just using to for 2020 and onward. If I went back and tried to catalog the play status of every game I've ever played it would be a mess.

As such right now my 100% completed list is majority Picross games.

yeah I'm not adding every game I've ever played because that's impossible to remember

this is standard for sekiro lol. the ogre guy has some hosed up animations that can murk you instantly.. but the Hirata Estate is the best spot to farm xp/money in the early game

Just saw that you said you already beat the ogre, so my bad. In my defense I was extremely wasted last night.

Hirata Estate is still a good option, however.

thanks for the advice all! stocked up on pellets and diving back to the estate now, i took a bit of time beating up parts of ashina to feel more comfortable with wolf too. i platinum'd bloodborne, i can handle this*!!!

*might eat these words

in my experience the difficulty in sekiro eventually plateaus and then even gets a bit easier the more you upgrade/find new items. so you can definitely do it

My cousin's copy of Wheel of Fortune NES was jet black instead of the classic grey. I thought nothing of it until I powered it on and heard the theme song. It was hacked and downtuned by at least 40%. Ever since then I freak out like rainman whenever I hear it.

Even getting all achieves there's so much I didn't touch, like getting the no hit medals or nightmare mode or doing the extra campaigns, just an absurd amount of high quality content.

my main goal was to cook every food, max as much stats as possible, and get the 1h sword that hits like 11x a second

Forgot to post when I beat Elden Ring. It's a 5/5, nothing more to say since everyone knows.

Wrapped up my D3 Witch Doctor run at lvl69. It was really fun, gonna get him to 70 in adventure mode then swap to Xenoblade 2.

4/5. Gacha mechanics sucked rear end, party AI was full on retarded (never combo toppled/launched/smashed anyone), also no reason to control anyone outside of Rex for these reasons.

XC1 party members at least had different ways of playing, which made it feel fresh when you swapped. In this game, everyone is the same boring rear end driver who will never realize an enemy is Toppled. You're kinda pigeon holed into being Rex forever, if you want to do the epic combos.

You're right about needing to be Rex all the time but I have vague recollection of Tora's AI being able to combo, or at least being the only character besides Rex that can reliably do Topple, Launch, Smash all by himself. The problem is by the end of the game Pyra/Mythra are so unbelievably OP that you would be a fool to not use Rex. I wanted to have Zeke in my group but since Nia is a requirement for heals and Zeke isn't a tank the only one you can really replace is Rex and it's just not worth the time and is actively detrimental if you want to fight some of the endgame unique monsters.

Yeah, unfortunately I had to bench Tora due to the nature of Poppi's upgrades. The minigame is fine as a minigame, but being a necessity to make her stronger was a mistake imo. Still one of the best characters in the game tho
