55 hours into Pokemon Sun and my decision to level 18 different and seemingly random Pokemon is as dumb now as it was 30 hours before.

But I'm stubborn and will persevere. Have to admit though going into fights like kahuna battles 6-8 levels down on them is actually good fun.

Japan only so far.

Will pick up Gravity Rush 2. Might wait on Yakuza 0 for a couple of weeks while playing GR2.

Jan 2 - Everybody's Gone To The Rapture (PS4) Jan 11 - very DOOM (PS4) I played it on easy as I don't play many first person shooters and if I kept dying I'd just get frustrated. The dichotomy between the stillness when wandering around and then the chaos as you start running, jumping and shooting ...

Those 'more of the same' reviews have only made me look forward to it more.

That review embargo lifted a good 10 days or so before release too.

Jan 2 - Everybody's Gone To The Rapture (PS4) I'm very conflicted about this game. There are brilliant story moments and great visuals, both in the recreation of the southern English countryside and moments of spectacle, but on the other hand there are moments when I'm lost, plodding slowly around a...

So my 3DS tells me I played Pokemon Sun for about 8 hours yesterday. Merry Christmas family .

"died in a freak gasoline fight accident" springs to mind.

It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement in any of the games though. Weren't the levels just taken from puzzle mode.

Great listen. I'll go back and listen to the other episodes.

Also, and I'm a bit ashamed to admit this given the podcast but for some reason I pretty much ignored time attack mode and would play either puzzle or versus(com or 2p).

I've been playing a bit of a lot of games recently without any overall plan to finish anything. Played the first 15 or so chapters of Fire Emblem Fates Conquest (3DS) (Medium difficulty, Casual death rules) to see if it will grab me more than Birthright did. I think I may have made a mistake in tryi...

I think that another home console Valkyria Chronicles would be about refining the gameplay really. Improve the AI, sort out some balance among the five solder classes and sort out the end level ranking so its not solely based on number of turns, for example. I feel that the series never really got a...

I still can't get over it being an action RPG rather than a turn based strategy. Hopefully there will be a demo to change my mind because I would definitely try a demo of it.

Also since a series like this is more Japan focused, surely the surprise is that its coming to Xbox One.

That will be three Yakuza games in little over a year. I don't think I can cope. Also while I will definitely pick it up when it drops in price, LocoRoco and its world tilting shoulder button controls always felt like they were perfect for a portable console. Also are the LocoRoco and Patapon remast...

Yup and his Barrage move is ridiculously overpowered.

I actually played FFT:WotL before FF12 and therefore was already excited about getting more Balthier when I got FF12 a few months later. I never did finish it though, left it at that damn tower.

Excellent timing as it means I don't have to track down a physical copy, but given I only finished Trials and Tribulations a couple of weeks ago I'll wait until after Christmas.

Been playing BoxBoy on the 3DS after finishing Crimson Shroud (which I neglected to mention here, good if short). As a puzzle platformer its not that hard so far (World 12) but it is enjoyable as the levels are short and in each world they keep introducing new mechanics or moves. I picked up its seq...

Haha, I never saw those! The Super Monaco GP novel must have been a real rapid page turner! Well the career mode actually had a barebones plot. You make your way from a poor team to become world champion, then some upstart kid shows up and takes your seat, you then worked your way back to the title...

Motorsport Manager is by a bunch of chaps I know well. They know their stuff, if that sounds like a game you'd be into, you should get it. Got this on Friday. From the first 5 hours, I think I could breach the 100 hour mark on this Pokémon Sun and Moon - 3DS Pokemon Sun is on my Christmas list. Hav...

I started Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations last week after finishing the first two games two months back. I'm starting the fifth case and they have all been great, I also feel it nudges you in the right direction a little bit more than Justice for All which is appreciated. That break between pl...
