lmao wtf... this is like the most random thing ever

LMAO!!

[monochrome.]

Whew. I finally finished CS3 @ 111 hours. I got a true sense of pride and accomplishment. EA can never  Translating unvoiced lines were so headache inducing but other than that, it wasn't as bad as I thought, I was able to understand the whole thing for the most part. That ending though.... WTF, Falcom! That was just too cruel. Most heartless ending they've done yet. I want my tears back, Kondo. >.< 

 

I'm a bit disappointed since I came into the game thinking this will be the last one in the arc. And I can understand the frustrations of people, especially those who hates this arc. lol I do think it took Falcom FOREVER to even get going on Erebonia's Sept-Terrions. Other than that, it has everything I love about Kiseki. The characters interactions, world building and lore, in-depth and detailed NPCs (still the best NPCs out of all games tbh). And class VII's growth. OMFG. Gone are the days when they got their asses kicked in 50% of the main boss battles. I'm so proud. lmao Laura and Fie are still my queens but my least faves Gaius and Emma are climbing up my Class VII ranks. They slayed in this game. :3

 

My only real complaint with this game is the harem. It's borderline unbearable. I was able to tolerate it in CS1 and CS2, but they're just way too "in-your-face" throughout this game. I was hoping they'd stick to Rean/Alisa since they're obviously the canon pair. I thought Kurt/Juna would be a cute OTP too, but nahhhh, let's make Rean's students be attracted to him too. Honestly, it pissed me off. lol >.<

 

 

For the next game, I want a playable Rosine. I've seen a lot of people asking for this too. <3

It would make me less bitter for my flop Rosine = Red Moon Rose theory. :D

Most heartless ending? Omfg I want to play CSIII so much right now. when will they release it in English? And I thought csii

Crow death was cruel

been though a lot of heartache in games for the past two months so I think I'm ready

 

Also finished LB main game. Loved it so much. It just really pulled my heart a lot and the twists and turns really just makes me think that it was going to drop but nope Jun Maeda really pulled it together. Great stuff. Will be playing ex later when it gets patch hopefully

 Finished main game of Witcher 3. Really enjoyable. Getting withdrawals from thinking about not playing it another time through. Now for some comments and criticisms.

 

 Played it on the hardest difficulty and it wasn't that difficult. Decent learning curve for the battle style, but by the time you get it down pat, you'll be hard pressed to die ever again. Took me a long time to get going at the start because I kept dying. The loading is pretty annoying. Also, it seems like they had about 10, maybe 15 faces and re-used them over and over for various characters. Kinda bothered me. Really miffed I didn't go for the canon romantic ending. It's possible to lock yourself into a romantic route before ever meeting Yen (the other romantic choice). I didn't particularly enjoy her character when you do finally get to do some quests for and with her and they really hammered home that you might've made the wrong choice. Level doesn't mean too much in this game, it's plausible to fight monsters 5-10 levels higher then you. Another issue for me was the brightness. They specifically want you to spam a potion to help you see because more then not, you can't see anything in this game. Skellige was kind of annoying because there's a metric shit ton of stuff to do in the water and you are most likely gonna be slow as hell from all the extra stuff you pick up.

it's more cruel than both CS1 and CS2's ending combined

 

so far, there's no announcement for release date yet but most people are predicting somewhere around Fall 2018 to early 2019

 

if XSEED does the translations again, I think they usually announce the release date a few months before it comes out, so who knows really

I just don't understand how EA screwed up with Battlefront so bad. I mean, it's Star Wars. All they needed to do was have Dice make a decent game w/o all the BS... it could have even been a "Star Wars Battlefield" and it would have been amazing. Fans are happy, EA still gets their $$$, everyone is happy w/o all the drama. Even without the microtransactions (for now anyway), the damage has already been done since the system was designed to encourage their purchase in the first place. 

 

It's a shame since I was actually looking forward for this game. :( I should have known EA will be EA. Despite all of this, I still want to at least give it a try at some point, but I'm probably not going to like it.

 Trying to make bank with all the micro transactions. Stopped playing sports games years ago because they were glorified roster updates and playing online was a drag because all people do is cheese. This will be the second year in a row I didn't pick up a CoD game even though a large portion of my friends list play mostly that. Only picked up one DLC for Destiny and I enjoyed it for what it was, but didn't play the 2nd one at all.

i've been really busy lately so I haven't had much time to play games

Also been playing though ffxiv not very far into it but darn is so addicting

[denizen mars]

considering upgrading after 5 years. I mostly play triple a fps + indie games (i.e. I wanna play fallout 4 finally! my current pc can't handle anything recent other than some indie games). Should I shell out $200 more for 32 gb of ram vs 16 gb?

I'm currently running my system with 8gb and can play most current games right now but if you have to decide 16 to 32,I'll get 16 then use the rest on a gpu and cpu only because there's not much games that demand more than 16. I wager 12 is enough right now. Also mining gpu price are lowing and ram can be upgraded easily if you really need that extra 16 for 32gb Edited December 1, 2017 by Salieri

Anyone play FGO, I just started and it's pretty fun, the gacha is pretty bad though, 1% chance to get a 5 star wtf At least we get Santa Alter for free at the end of this Christmas event

Played it before like the beginning part but didn't like it at all since it's a getcha and there's a huge money sink into which turned me off right away.

 

Speaking of fate, just got my ffxiv character to look like saber

Well to be fair, you can still get away with using lower level servants but yeah if you want the best ones it's pretty hard to roll for. Hopefully the arcade ver they have rolling out comes to consoles with no gacha involved.

So I finally finished Ys 8 a few weeks ago despite the current state of the translations. And wow, that was a fantastic adventure. It's up there as one of my favorite games of the year. The gameplay was fun and addictive. I loved playing as everyone except Sahad and Gratika and that's because i'm just not into the heavy hitter type. As per usual with Falcom, all the NPCs have their own personalities and stories and I loved getting to know most of them. I didn't expect the story to be THAT deep. The ending was so beautiful and bittersweet. The ending feels like something out of Kiseki (w/o the cliffhangers). Dana is definitely one of my video game heroines now. She's awesome.

 

The translations weren't game breaking for me but I can understand if it ruined the game for others. I don't think the accuracy of the translations were the problem but some of the naming terms they used and the flow of conversations were just... ugh. At least they're making an effort to fix it. It's definitely worth another play again. 

 

 

YASS, my uni semester is finally over! I was going to get a job again but I'm so mentally and physically exhausted I'm just going to spend one month being unproductive playing games and catching up with anime. lmao

Started playing Fate Grand Order today! My first summon I got a couple 4 star cards so I'll assume that's good

Still trying to figure out the mechanics of the game as I get carried by lv100 friend supports 

[Rolling Thunder]

So near the end of Nov. I bought a PS4 and a couple of games, I was also give a $50 gift card but I don't know what to use for it. The games I have are Assassin's Creed Origin, Sims 4, Injustice 2, Little Big Planet 3 and NBA 2K18.
