A year later and the same crap. Merry Christmas!

How about Sakura Wars - So Long my Love (PS2/Wii) and the Sakura Wars PS4 game?

I think learning the combat in Sekiro would make me less frustrated if the lead up to the minibosses was more fun. Funny, I enjoyed the stealth bits as they were a nice change of pace in a Fromsoft game. And I enjoyed the exploration aspect of it as well as swinging around like a madman. I picked u...

#32 - Beyond Good & Evil Heavy mythologised, put on a pedastal, I hadn't played it in about 15 years or so. I remembered bits of it but had forgotten a lot. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. My general memories of it were "meh", and I think I enjoyed it more this time than last ...

I too have become involved in a fledgling podcast. The first game we covered was Deadly Premonition (in three parts!). There is some dodgy audio because my laptop is crap and I am hoping to rectify that with boxing day sales this year so that we are going to be sounding more professional as we go. W...

I started playing Alliance Alive HD last night. Put about 90 minutes or so in, finished the first act. That is a really cool little game. It's so nice to have a turn-based RPG where the gameplay isn't ruined by some stupid gimmick. I really like the story so far too - I love stuff that leans heavy ...

#31 - Shin Megami Tensei V

Quite a ride in this game. Some of the criticisms are valid - sidequests are kind of shallow for example - but I think it's a good Megaten game overall. Nocturne is still my favourite though.

But either one would be good for next year's podcast.....HINTHINT.

No idea what Jack Bros. is...

It was actually the first SMT related game released in the West.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Bros.

SMT I, SMT II, SMT If, SMT Nocturne, SMT IV, SMT IV Apocalypse, SMT V, Majin Tensei I & II, Soul Hackers, Maken X/Maken Shao, Digital Devil Saga I & II, Devil Summoner I & II, Raidou Kuzunoha I & II, and just to torture you......Jack Bros.

Still (slowly) making my way through FFIX. I'm enjoying it enough, but I feel like I'm trying to will it into getting its hooks in me. I want to be hooked and thinking about it when I'm not playing it, but we're not there quite yet. I'm coming towards the end of this game, been playing it on and of...

45 hours into Shin Megami Tensei V. Certainly the easiest Megaten game I've ever played because of certain tweaks, but enjoying it overall. Performance is a little rough though, and I'm not even one who usually notices or is bothered by that stuff.

Nice one. I’ve got an old Entombed album, Left Hand Path, but never listened to much else. Just found a cool Essentials playlist on Apple Music though, so I’ll check that out. Don’t know Edge of Sanity at all but like what I just found, so will have a dabble there too. Thanks a lot! Left Hand Path ...

Here’s something specialist… Witch Vomit - Abhorrent Rapture. I’ve always been very selective about death metal, probably only genuinely liking a handful of albums, although I would count Bolt Thrower’s Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness in my top fifteen albums ever! This might not quite reach tho...

Nothing. I've been playing nothing because Atlus decided to arbitrarily move the release date of SMT V and not bother to make an announcement or tell anyone about it. So I've been binging Taskmaster instead, angrily.

So Shin Megami Tensei V was advertised as a world wide release. Turns out it is for everywhere except Canada. They just arbitrarily moved the release date ....... and didn't bother to tell anyone or make any announcement about it. I spent two and a half hours on Friday going to stores and being rebu...

That’s a shame as the game really grew on me as it progressed and I think of it fondly. The controls definitely stood out as the more dated part of the package but didn’t seem too bad after the initially steep learning curve. Have you played ico or shadow of the colossus on the ps2 as they are simi...

#34 - The Last Guardian.

I am maybe halfway through, and I am done. I give up. The controls are complete and utter dogshit. This game is UNplayable and I cannot continue to torture myself with this utter garbage anymore.

Horrible.

#33 - Saints Row IV. Had some neat ideas, and the superpowers were fun to use, but I think SR3 is the better game. I didn't care for how some of the sidequest activities were changed and I didn't like being graded on them.

#32 - Saints Row The Third Remastered (PS4) - Picked this up for $20. I had fun with it, and there's a lot of ridiculous over the top stuff that you don't see in a lot of games. Worth a playthrough.
