#FE

+Awesome battle system
+Surprisingly likable characters and decent writing (for what it is)
+

Best JRPG I've played in awhile.  9/10

[chronovore]

Just finished Age of Empires: Castle Siege. Game is completely solid, easy to finish without any F2P purchase, but I threw them money early on because a friend worked on it. Anyway, I'm 200/200 and still engaged, but it's done.

Next: finish WETCH_DOGES, which I hope to get a Platinum Trophy for. It'll be my first, if I make it.

played thru Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands. game was painfully... average? competent? it wasn't bad or boring, but there was literally nothing in it that felt new, surprising, or exciting. the last pop game i played was sands of time (bc warrior within looked like shit) and this felt like the same game. reminded me of Mega man in that it was fun but totally predictable.

also reminded of how bad ubisoft ran the series into the ground, before that became their standard business model. there were a shitload of pop games that came out between sands of time and forgotten sands, and none of them seem remarkable.

Someone was asking me in my gaf blog on VLR if I dislike all games lately, so I looked through my reviews of what I've played in 2016 so far and I've actually really liked a lot of what I played this year!  In fact, making a top10 was tough and I had to leave a lot of quality good gaming like Ratchet Remake and Uncharted 4 out.  Plus I know Persona 5 is gonna be on there and maaaaaybe FFXV if it doesn't suck.  Also Last Guardian maybe?

Anyhow, this is my top10 so far from what I've played in 2016 (not necessarily what released in 2016)

1.  Soma
2.  Ao no Kiseki
3.  Nier
4.  Asura's Wrath
5.  SMT4-2
6.  Hitman
7.  GG Xrd Sign & Rev
8.  Fran Bow
9.  Project Diva Future Sound
10.  Exist Archives / Cold Steel II tie, both were good 8/10 rpgs that are getting kicked off once I put Persona 5 on there.

I'm about 2-3 hours of play away from Platinum Trophy-ing Shadow of Mordor, but going back to it feels like work.

[CatsCatsCats]

Idk that I finished anything tbh, games I sank the most time into were Elite Dangerous and Overwatch, can't really think of a game I "beat"

[demi]

I spent most of my time with Rise of Iron, but now that it's pretty much done, I can go back to attacking the list.

[demi]

Really good. I'm actually hoping to play it with a group of people and play it out like a movie for them.

[archnemesis]

I picked up Until Dawn for next to nothing but haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe that's what I should play next.

[demi]

Its a quick game, and a quick plat if you use a guide.

[seagrams hotsauce]

DOOM - easy GOTY, no real explanation needed here if you've played more than a few minutes. If you haven't, go rip your head off with a chainsaw and give me some ammo already ya fuckin jerkoff

Her Story - point and clicks are still fun, and this was so much more satisfying than a whole season of law and order criminal intent combined. Ace dumb twist.

Rise of the Tomb Raider - TR2k13 was great and this is more of the same but with more tombs and collectables. Fine.

The Beginner's Guide - I love nongames about games, so this was right up my alley. It kinda ruins the Stanley Parable though.

Superhot - amazing gimmick, kinda barely is a game tho

Just Cause 3 - this sucked, just play JC2

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - This game blew and every sidequest felt like a chore. The story was painfully dumb. Fuck this game so much

[demi]

I learned that if you have the PlayStation App installed you can actually delete PSN games on your profile that are at 0% (no trophies). It bugged me that I had Super Stardust on there for so long. No more!

Wish XB1 added this back in. You can only do it with 360 games.

[bork]

Nice; got rid of some trophies for games I bought and returned or promptly sold off.

[Cerveza mas fina]

You dont need the app for that

[demi]

I dont have a PS4 at work

[Cerveza mas fina]

I thought playing games was your work

[demi]

PS4 has no games

Remember when the 360 would add the demo version of a game's Achievements to your total?

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

[Cerveza mas fina]

how was everbody has gone to rapture?

[archnemesis]

I ended up beating two more games, The Last Guardian and Letter Quest Remastered. That's 31 in total.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is okay. I prefer "Dear Esther", "Gone Home", and "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter".

[zomgee]

Esther Carter's Gone Home to the Rapture


For winter break I beat Batman: Telltale and Firewatch.

I really enjoyed the Batman story and I'm already looking forward to more. Firewatch, not so much. A lot of lead up to what felt like "it was the mysterious third cousin what committed the murders, the end!"

[a slime appears]

Firewatch, not so much. A lot of lead up to what felt like "it was the mysterious third cousin what committed the murders, the end!"

Firewatch was unequivocally terrible. The story was middling with a poor ending, no character development to speak of, and visually the game looked like a student project. A huge letdown considering the praise it was given.

how was everbody has gone to rapture?

Not very good. A better "walking simulator" is The Vanishing of Ethan Carter which shares the same mysterious vibe but has nicer visuals and a more interesting plot with a minor attempt at providing gameplay.

[Rufus]

how was everbody has gone to rapture?

Amazing soundtrack. The story is a well-acted radio-play, only instead of a narrator telling you what you see you walk through the environments yourself. Not all that interesting. Again, amazing soundtrack though.

[demi]

Rapture was my first "walking simulator" and I thought it was pretty garbage overall. There's zero payoff with the story (and this is probably THE most important bit with these, imo). The atmosphere is neat, I guess. The music was pretty good.

[chronovore]

Finished Shadow of Mordor before platinum-trophying it, because it started to feel like work. It was a great game, but had some trophies that encouraged a type of play that was micromanaging instead of Fuck Shit Up, which is its core strength.

Also determined to be "done" with Clash Royale. Was on a 10-loss streak, I'm not competing, and don't like being laughed at. I'm disturbed that it even bothered me, so I am removing it from my life.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Vanishing of Ethan Carter was alright, as was Virginia. Gone Home was really nice though.

Im ok with these games now and again but they could benefit of a bit more gameplay.

[zomgee]

Oh I also finished Hitman which was some of the most fun I've had in ages.
