On to Yakuza 3 Remastered. Kinda jarring going from the new engine on Kiwami 2 back to a remastered ps3 game, but it's not as terrible as I had feared. 3 is apparently the worst of the series as well but thankfully it's also the shortest. I hear the remasters of 4 and especially 5 are way better in terms of quality though.

Playing 2k battlegrounds. It's a fun game but not worth it price tag

The new wolfenstein games are so so good. The gameplay is fine nothing TOO special, fun to kill nazis and Klan members, but the story/alternate history/characters are really really interesting and funny. They just keep throwing twists at you, I didn't know what to expect when I started the series, it blew me away

Games I've beaten in 2020:

Luigi's Mansion
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
The Last of Us Part II
Death Stranding
Celeste
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

It's sad the only games I've beaten this year was Resident Evil 3 and some Lego games

Actually forgot I did beat Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

i wish UA3 was better...the 1st 4 are among my all time fav games. series peeked with XL2 tho

just beat trails in the sky FC. going back to Ghost of Tsushima next

I haven't played anything in about a month. I completed the first episode of Hitman season 1, but haven't done anymore.

I have been hearing the call of Skyrim as of late, but I don't know if I want to delve back into that.

Detroit: Becoming Human

WWE 2K Battlegrounds.

Game came in the mail yesterday and its been pretty enjoyable based on the time I've spent with it so far.

It has its fair share of issues and the overall quality of work reflects a lot in its budget price.

Laughed at the very first match in campaign mode being against Baron Corbin since that is such a WWE move to do with a hyped up new guy or big storyline.

I've been playing it, I have no idea why I got it. Maybe it's because I loved WWE All Stars so much.

Despite it's lack of depth, it does what it supposed to do very well.

Between sessions of Yakuza 3 I've also started playing CrossCode. 16-bit style JRPG framed as an MMO even though it's single player. Kinda charming. Not far enough into it to make a judgement on the story though and I've only got access to minimal skills so I can't fairly judge what the battle system becomes but it is fun so far. Kinda plays like the old Mana games at this point though which is fine with me.

Jumping back into No Man’s Sky. Another massive update. Free, as usual.

Mario Sunshine is pretty good...dunno why I never picked it up for the Game Cube.

Wait it's only on steam right now. And you don't do PC. But it's coming to other platforms later this year.

just checked out a few reviews/gameplay vids on it.


looks like an amazing combat system. ive never enjoy a roguelike but if i were to this would be it. ill keep my eyes open for a console release :y:

Yeah I typically don't like Roguelikes either. Dead Cells and Sundered are the only ones I've ever really played for any length of time and not ended up hating them.

I want to play Hades.

Z.O.E 2.

Might have to tweak the controls since it's been a while since I played the first. Fun so far.

Considering purchasing Yakuza 0. Feel like it'd be quite a commitment considering how busy I get.

It is a great game. Goro Majima is king. It is a bit time consuming though, more so if you do the side story "minigames". Those side things add a shit ton of time to the game but you get good rewards for beating both of them.

after reading this i looked into crosscode and bought it. dunno when ill get around to it but it looks good

also disco elysium needs a console date. i want it on switch ideally. i have a laptop that could totally run it but its not my jam...still...tempting

Alot of strategy comes into play with crosscodes battles further in. Lots of juggling elementals and ranged/melee in order to target enemies weaknesses. Some of the bosses require a lot of rapid switching. Have to use environmental objects a bit too. I really like it.

Also it has a lot of puzzles and they can be quite fun. Some of them are challenging af too and require you to think outside the box.

Yeah disco elysium looks incredible. Really wanna play it.

Cross Code is an amazing game. Def worth the price and more

Completed Detroit: Becoming Human. Managed to get the best ending. Going through all the other endings on YouTube.

Ended up purchasing Yakuza 0. Hopefully I get the time to play it.

I started Skyrim, but I just wasn't feeling it, so I am going to play Witcher 2 instead, which I've started in the past but never ventured beyond the prologue.

When you get a little ways into it and the story becomes a bit clearer its like ooooh shit this is not what I was expecting. In a good way.

I love the nods to the ever frustrating "silent" protagonist role in rpgs too. Weird how it triggers emotions from the player that wouldn't normally be in play.

Witcher 2 is prob the weakest of the series for me but is still a great game. Witcher 1 is what got me into it obviously so I have a special place for that game and 3 is damn near unbeatable at this point. I'd say 3 is easily the best open world RPG ever.

Wild Hunt is awesome, but it is still quite fresh in my memory, so I am not looking to play it at the moment.

Ignored it for 2yrs even after it went on Gamepass. But it's been nearly a month since I started Naruto Shinobi Strikers and it's hooked me. Dunno why.

sigh

this game is so cool and tells a really interesting story, but i was so disinvested from it because of how truly horrid the actual gameplay is, just hours of wandering through hallways and into the wrong rooms, not being able to read the map properly, game-breakingly bad clunky combat where the hit detection is practically random, i just wanted the game to be over. i was only really motivated to keep playing because of how my friend and i were gonna play it together years ago and that saga. i got to a point six hours in where i saved before a boss with low health, and was softlocked out of going into any other part of the map that had healing items. I spent over an hour save stating my way through the bossfight... a true shame because this game could have been so good. bad game, but deserves a remake

Games I've beaten in 2020:

Rule of Rose

I finished up FF9, unfortunately all the nostalgia and lovely stuff I remembered all happened in the first half of the game. The second half from like the Iifa tree onwards all felt kind of convoluted and not as lovely, the game was really easy too. Even the big secret bosses were a breeze.

I've started playing the Crash N Sane trilogy, finished Crash 1 and currently smashing through 2. Also have KOTOR downloaded on my PC with a few pretty mods.
I've never really given the series much time so looking forward to a full playthrough.

Yeah, this is a good update. This is a reeeeeeeally good update. It's amazing how No Man'sSky was the laughing stock of the industry when it came out, and now 4 years later, Hello Games is the only developer I trust as much as CD Project Red.

Mario 35

It took me 34 levels, but i finally won a game on Mario 35. Coin rankings unlocked.

Finished Crosscode. Great game. Can't wait for the DLC.

Gonna finish up Yakuza 3 now and move on to 4.

just started crosscode. i like the characters and the world. not sure if the combat will hold me but im enjoying it so far


skill tree is nice too
