Topic: What game(s) have you been playing lately?

[Shiroi Koumori]

I've tried the demo for Monsters of the Deep VR at a gaming convention. It was nice but I am not willing to buy a PSVR set.

I've been playing a lot of The Sims 3. I love designing houses

Are you able to construct proper basements? That was always the issue I had with Sims 2.

Playing the new Wolfenstein...it's far, far more difficult than the previous two. I started out on Death Incarnate difficulty, and it's absolutely brutal. I had to end up going down two difficulty levels just to make some decent progress again. It's a good game, but levels are all over the place, it's not as convenient as it used to be when it comes to collecting items and gaining perks, and it just doesn't have the charm that The New Order (and The Old Blood) did. I'm starting to like it more, but it just feels a bit messy by comparison.

Decided to give STRAFE a try since it had a major update some time back, not disappointed at all.
Halloween is soon, meaning DUSK gets released, I've been waiting...

Just gotten back to finishing up Final Fantasy XV. I stopped near the end, so I'm basically fartin around and completing other quests and leveling up my characters.

Anybody get a chance to play that The Mummy Demastered game? It looks like Castlevania meets Contra:

So that game is based of the godawful tom cruise flick? The game looks cool, but the film was garbage I hear.

Curse of Issyos brings up another nostalgia of BGM music style which is so sorrow that brings me to the dark ages of Personal PC...which is cool but gameplay difficulty is WAY TOO unforgiving mainly due to limited continue times...

The film IS horrible. And from what I hear, the Dark universe is basically dead (for now, but Universal might take another crack at a "Universal Monster Cinematic Universe" sometime in the future, and here's hoping they ditch the dumb "super hero action" concept and play up what these movies ARE, horror). Those people I know that have played this said it's the BEST thing to come from the Dark Universe, and that it's sorta like Castlevania, Metroid and Contra with a dash of Dark Souls. From hearing bits of the music, it the OST seems to take inspiration from John Carpenter's style (basically now, the "Retro Wave" style).

Just finished Ys VIII.

(click to show/hide)

I liked this game better then the attempted remake that was Memories of Celceta. Ys VIII does, however, reuse the end of the world scenario that was the main catalyst of Ys VII. I'm wondering if Falcom is running out of ideas...
There was also a bit of MoC in this game too as Dana struggled to reclaim her memories. All-in-all I found this game to be a better experience then MoC was. But why didn't Adol have his traditional armour on? He is after all an adventurer, and people adventuring during that time did not wear fancy clothes, they wore armour, cause they never knew what kind of danger they would run into. The look of the characters' attire was also a bit of a head-scratcher. I think Falcom is forgetting that the Ys series seems to take place around the late middle-ages, yet everyone is dressed up like it's the 18th century. They should ease up on their exuberant fashion a little. But overall a good game.

Currently I am playing Skyrim and Breath of the Wild on the Switch. And between them I play Castlevania DoS, PoR, OoE.

Question Zuljaras.

Is Skyrim complete for the switch? Or did Bethesda get lazy with this one as well and we must download the majority of the game from the internet?

A 100% is on the cartridge. With ALL 3 DLCs included in the game right from the start. You can download only patches and additional Languages and they are optional.

This is the best port on the Switch. I am really impressed by the quality of the game on the Switch. I hope Fallout is next!

[Bloodreign]

The 2 Last Blade games, which made me bite the bullet and pick up the Japanese PS1 version of the original, then the 2 games on the PS2 Neo Geo Online Collection compilation.

The movesets make my thumb hurt like crazy using a PS2 pad in MAME, and PCSX2 (which is how I tested the quality of many PS2 Neo Geo games before buying them).

[JR]

Played a quick game of Rastan on the Taito Collection. I don't ever remember that game not allowing continues on the last level. I could've sworn I've beaten it before, but then again, I seriously doubt I could finish the final level on one credit. (That sort of restriction in older games is total bullshit, IMO...right up there with DMC-style performance grading on my list of gaming pet peeves)
