Re: Games Completed 2019
Anyone else wanna join me in completing the 52 Game Challenge this year (2020)? If you haven't heard of it, it's pretty self-explanatory - but you kinda make your own rules too. Some people will count games they've played to a certain point and then said, "Yeah, that's enough for me." Othe...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I'm also presently jumping back and forth between: - No More Heroes 2 (how have I not played this absolutely bonkers masterpiece til now?) Glad to see new people enjoying that one. Did you play the first before? I played a bit of the first one, but that open world and side job stuff completely lost...

Re: Your Games of the Decade
2016 - Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana You and someone else around these parts have been pushing this game enough that I now have to get around to it at some point. My favourite JRPGs that I've played this decade have been from previous decades (VC4 excepted). Best Remaster/Remake - .hack//GU: Last Reco...

Re: Games Completed 2019
I just copy/pasted my thoughts from a YouTube comment I made a couple days back. :P I THINK this is everything I finished, but odds are good I've forgotten something. For 2019 releases... Metro Exodus (my GOTY, easy, one of the all-time greatest games IMHO) RE2make (my runner-up) Man of Medan (HIGHL...

Re: 2020 Hype Thread
Nice one lad, and good to see you posting again. I'm not even sure why I stopped, I guess I just got sucked too far into Discord and routinely failed to consider the joy of forum posting. I think my disposition to instant gratification makes following a slower forum comprised mostly of Eurozone peo...

Re: 2020 Hype Thread
KSub - The Ys games are all mostly unrelated... The series is framed as a series of journal entries from Adol Cristin's adventure log, found 200(?) years after his exploits - so they're all self-contained stories, for the most part. I think some of the earlier entries have direct sequels, but all th...

2020 Hype Thread
I basically made this list of 2020 releases that aim to destroy my personal finances, so I want to expand upon it into a hype/discussion thread. What games and expansions are you excited about? What are you playing on release day? What are you gonna wait for a sale on? Tell me! The sharehol- er, *I*...

Re: Your most played game this year
Definitely Apex Legends. I honestly don't even want to know how much time I've blown on this game, but I reckon it's deep into the hundreds of hours territory. It fills a void I didn't know I had, and it's great to just drop in for a match or two, get upset, and then move on to something else before...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I finally got Resident Evil 2 (2019) , since RE3 is getting a remake too and looks absolutely dope, and RE2make was like 50% off on PSN. My goodness this game feels amazing to play. The controls and combat are as perfect as everyone has been saying. Kneecapping zombies and knifing them while they'r...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I'm *still* keeping up on Apex Legends, somehow - I find it's like a sort of caffeine for my brain, the fast-paced nature of matches and the unpredictability of opponent skill level is a shot of adrenaline to the system to help me get up and ready to hammer out more methodical pursuits in life, work...

Re: Your Games of the Decade
My list is heavily tipped towards action games of Japanese origin as that's what I've been into the last 10 years. There are a bunch of games I haven't spent enough time with though. For example, I have yet to play through a Dark/Demon Souls-type FromSoft game in full. So this isn't my final word u...

Re: Your Games of the Decade
@Magical isopod: I’m surprised you found 2010 tricky as for me that was one of the hardest as there were so many incredible games released that year! Bioshock 2, Dead Rising 2, Danganronpa, Deadly Premonition, Fallout:New Vegas, Ghost Trick, God of War 3, Halo:Reach, Heavy Rain, Mass Effect 2, Peac...

Re: 2019 in Gaming and your Game of the Year
I'm gonna copy/paste my write-up of Metro Exodus - which is my GOTY - from my Games of the Decade write-up. Because I'm lazy. But I def have thoughts on a number of other 2019 releases, both good and bad. Overall, I'd say 2019 was a pretty decent year. Not as good as 2017, but better than 2018. Metr...

Re: Your Games of the Decade
2010 - Xenoblade Chronicles 2010 was a pretty weak year all-around, but Xenoblade stands above the pack by being a really damn compelling fictional universe that still has interesting stories to tell throughout its 100 hour run time. Has a ton of difficulty spikes and grind walls though that make i...
