What have you been playing lately?
I've been extremely obsessed with Final fantasy 14 since about 2020, but whenever I can drag myself away from my computer I've also been enjoying Shin megami tensei V as of late. I'd always been interested in the series and I decided to just jump right in now that it's conveniently on switch and MC is my preferred type of boy.

Been taking my time with Nier replicant cause I didn't wanna burn myself out on the parts of the game that you need to replay multiple times. Now I finished the remake exclusive ending and I can say I had a good time with this game. Love the story and characters but the gameplay still feels clunky even in remake form. I'd love to recommend this game to people but it's with the disclaimer that you gotta be patient with it.

Man, what a time to be a Drakengard fan. I want a new game that connects both but I don't want another Drakengard 2. Baby cannibalism and dehumanization of women doesn't really work for the dei audience.

I have not seen the new content yet, but maybe, a big one, they'll bring back Papa Nier in an important role. Brother Nier's a great design but Papa's wasting on the 360 and PS3.

I'll be honest and say I'm a casual fan so there's a lot that I missed out on. I could probably look around for some side material though I never ended up playing the mobile game. As a sidenote I'm not exactly pleased with the remake ending they added. My first thought is that it's fanficcy. Kaine brings you back complete with your deleted save and the entire area they added for it is an automata reference. It cheapens the sacrifice in my eyes for the sake of fanservice.

Back then, I remember there was this video [spoiler]That showed how to restore your save on the PS3 with a flash drive[/spoiler] (what is the spoiler shortcut) that was super popular. Ending E was designed to be painful and it worked.

That feels like a very modern gaming decision where they need journalists to boost them up.

About 12 hours into Re:Chain of Memories and I think I hate it :(

I appreciate the attempt to make the game less mindless with the card system but in turn it's just an exercise in frustration. Just spent the last half hour getting repeatedly killed by Larxene so I think I need to grind up ny deck level to actually use the sleights. Bet the dungeon crawler gameplay is more fun on GBA when you can play it on the go.

I quit by Halloween Town on the OG game and couldn't even make it out of Traverse in Re:CoM. The system was just not for me.

I genuinely think they should have made Re:CoM have KH1's system with cards as a replacement for magic and summons. It felt so clunky, to me, trying to navigate bosses while shuffling through a deck. Nomura was deep in the gimmick battle pits at the time and it shows in TWEWY

I started Pokemon Scarlet cause lately I've really been getting into VGC channels on youtube and it gave me an itch to get into main series pokemon games again. I took a long break after I played Moon due to some form of series burnout. My experience with Scarlet is definitely a mixed bag because there's some interesting ideas in there but I can also tell that the whole thing is kinda undercooked and I get similar vibes as with Breath of the wild where I think some of the personality and theming was lost when they got rid of classic dungeons and story structure. On a fujochan note I've seen that Fujos go wild over a gym leader and the champion in Sword and Shield but now that I think about it I'm not sure if there's any homo ship in Scarvi that I've seen around. I mostly recall there's a shota with weird hair that I've seen thirst about.

>I'm not sure if there's any homo ship in Scarvi that I've seen around
The main ones are MC/Arven, MC/Kieran (from DLC) and Brassius/Hassel, take your pick from shota x oniisan, shota x shota or old man yaoi. Larry is also a fan favorite with some ships. I don't remember if Grusha has much BL but he's cute.

I think you're right. I'm on (what I think) is the final fight with Axel in Castle Oblivion and the system just hasn't grown on me. If it had the same combat as the first game, but you collected cards that dropped and could use them for the slights it'd work way better for the 3D environment.

Still even with the terrible gameplay I'm enjoying the story way more than the first game. While the plot twist with Namine is obvious the Organization members are all very fun especially Larxene and Marluxia.

>Larxene and Marluxia.
Based.

I remember when everyone thought his name was Mar-luck-see-a because no one could read Japanese which properly spells out his name. 2005 fandom was full of autistic 14 year old girls with nothing but love for lolrandum humor and gay jokes that would get you permabanned everywhere.

If you're playing on the collection, your next stop is actually KH2 not Days. They went by chronological order because of how they released it on PS3-4.

Thanks for the heads up, I bought the two PS3 collections so I guess I'm set, odd way to arrange them. Though speaking of 365. To my knowledge its not actually the game in the collection but a movie? Is it worth seeking out a 3DS copy of it or is the stuff included in 1.5 all you need?

I would recommend watching one of the fan made Days movie edits with gameplay from the DS game edited in because the movie they give you cuts out a lot of context and gives you, at best, a wiki summary that trims all of the Disney. You'll get the basics of the story enough to understand why what happened, happened.

If you want to try playing it, there's an HD emulated version that fixes all the fucked up sprites. It is not a good looking game on large screens. Another of Nomura's gimmick games that he intended to be played on the way to work or in short play sessions so playing it completely through is extremely hit or miss. Not trying to put you off, it's more or less to soften the blow as many fans didn't exactly enjoy its format. Personally, I got halfway in before dropping it, but it has its charms.

It's kinda funny how despite having mixed feelings on gen 9 pokemon I still find myself defending it when I come across people who pretend like new pokemon are mostly bad. Sure I think some of the newer designs are abominations but there's pokemon in the original 151 that I also find abominations and in the more recent games they've done some interesting things when translating real animal traits and biology into this modern fantasy setting.

There are newer Pokemon creatures and characters I like, but I just had to accept that I haven't really enjoyed a game past Gen III and the series especially really struggled to jump to 3D. Haven't bought any since SWSH even though I still consider myself a fan. It's just a fun world I want to keep up with.

Feels bad when I like certain pokemon cause they're pretty and/or cute like Gardevoir and Lopunny but it's the pokemon that are now associated with coomer men. I can relate to whomever liked Ankha animal crossing before that one animation went viral.

I feel that way about Braixen, though Gard and Lop have always been a bit too "girly" for my tastes.

What's funny is I think the newer gens are trying to capture the same appeal for a female market with Pokemon like Intellion but it just doesn't have nearly the same success. I guess the female furry/kemo market isn't there. Lol, it's fine though they are succeeding with the humans.

Finally on KHII! I was not expecting a second game after Chain of Memories but I'm glad Reverse/Rebirth was so short since I don't know how many more card shenanigans I could take.

In the opening of KHII at the moment, on the 5th day of what I assume is a week-long prologue. Not exactly sure what's going on with Roxas if he's like a parallel world version of Sora or a memory given life but I'll be curious to see how long you actually get to play as him.

I am currently obsessed with 911 Operator. It's an emergency services dispatch simulator - and one of the most relaxing games ever. Feels like watching the city lights late at night (or maybe it's just my autism speaking).
Can't recommend it enough, especially if you use headphones. There is a sequel, and I'm going to play it next.

I actually started a new playthrough of monster girl quest after thinking about it again recently. I originally played it many years ago and never finished it so this time I'm intending to finish it. Like I mentioned in that other thread, I'm not really interested in hetero anymore unless the guy is some degree of weak and submissive. While BL is my main interest I do like it when a guy is being bullied and dominated by a woman. I remember the writing being pretty decent for a porn game but I had forgotten how much of Alice's dialogue is just some variation of "I want food" or "You're stupid, Luka."

Finally decided to force myself to play through Fire Emblem Engage after dropping it mid-way last time.

The combat is actually pretty fun in a flipped way (very player-turn focused), but everything about the designs makes me want to turn the sword on myself.

At least Ike and Soren are back. I'm surprised Nintendo acknowledged both of them outside of FE Heroes stuff.

I droppped it around chapter 16 and nothing can convince me to pick it back up. In the first place the only reason I even bother to clear FE maps is to know what happens next and advance the story of my favourite units. If I don't care then I'm not having fun. Also I might have been filtered by the mechanics, I don't like Emblems at all. I'd sooner replay Tellius with animations on.

The funny thing is, I actually like the Engage(ed) designs too. Just not for this series …

The actual ring mechanics is kinda fun as a thought, but it takes away too much from the core of the series imo, and like you said– the characters and story aren't good.

I think Diamant is the best of the lot, and he does basically nothing after being recruited.

Yeah while probably not suitable for FE I suspect a good story could have carried those designs. In a vaccuum they're not bad, just a bit hit and miss. Not the artist's fault though, it's absolutely a direction issue.
And yeah Diamant is pretty much just vibes. I still think they asked for a mix of Sylvain and boarmitri then slapped that design onto a main Lord. Lazy shit.
But what I'm really mad about is that they had a great opportunity to have characters from past games talk shit out and befriend other characters from different games in a game that isn't a gatcha for people with adhd and they just don't give a fuck. This is like, the one thing I find fun about crossovers and they don't even exploit it. What is the point, why do they even bother

You'd think they would want a celebration of everything that makes the series what it is, but nah. Take a few flavor lines from each emblem character, and enjoy them being backseated to colgate-kun.
On the bright side, this has inspired me to go back to FE9 after I finish my run. It has some of my favorite ships in the series, and and Tellius' lore is much more fun.

 No.9616

They mistook celebrating FE with filling up an average, generic mold of all FE sadly. Sure, let's blend all the best dishes in the word and hope something good comes out instead of a complete mess.
I still feel a little too burnt out to play Tellius again personally. I played it 10 years ago and there are maps there I restarted 30 times. Then again the game was also hard as fuck because I missed a few key recruitments (Marcia…) Maybe some day though.

There's a 'uncensored' patch that fixes some of the dialogue and supports, but even then … yeah, it's rough.
