    Currently alternating between trying to Platinum the original Dead Space, which I finally picked up, and rockin' Turf Wars in Splatoon.

    It's a very interesting thematic contrast, to say the least.

    Still at Etrian Mystery Dungeon, the need to grind for materials is constantly increasing with the need to create bases. Experimenting with leaders and surprisingly using the Gunner and limiting its MP usage is working out quite well.

    Still stressful. Very stressful.

    Majora's Mask (3DS version)
    I really detest "Groundhog Day" type of time-travel, but I heard good things about this game so I thought I'd give it a shot. Going pretty well, but that ice dungeon sucked hard. On the other hand "Goht" was a fun boss, silly name and all.

    I try to ignore it, but some of the time travel mechanics are bizarre. Like I travel back in time, loose whatever was in my bottles but not the bottles themselves, despite getting both at the same time (and of course I can't keep going back and getting infinite bottles).


    Also, fighting Flatwoods aliens on horseback. There's something I'd never expect in a video game.

    Finally putting the pissant strategy guide to good use and tracking down lockboxes, health shrines, and security cameras.
    God, I forgot how kickass this game was. It's like the love child of Grand Theft Auto and a John Woo film. I've encountered a few dumb glitches.

    Tales of Xillia 2: I decided to get 4/5 endings and I got the bad ending tonight. Man, that boss took me five tries. Going into detail is going into pretty big spoiler territory so...
    Ludger refuses to kill Julius to open the way to Canaan and attacks all his allies. This causes you to enter a battle with all of them and if you get cornered you are beyond screwed. Everybody can also inflict status ailments so you need to get away long enough to use Syrup Bottles. Oh, and I'm pretty sure you can't get any Hourglass items by this point.

    So yeah. That was tonight. I plan on getting the normal and true endings tomorrow. I gotta get some sleep.



    Oh, and I've also been playing World Heroes lately. It's not a great game by any stretch of the imagination but I still really like it. My main is Brocken and I am terrible at World Heroes.

    played some Disney Infinity last night, upgrading my toy box...and i never knew you could make it FULL, but obviously I did. Anyone else have this problem?

    Then I played some Survival rounds as Donald Duck...he's slow until you level him up, which seems to take forever. But he's adorable when he waddles around. I love using his Temper-Tantrum to attack the big guys.

    Playing some white knights chronicles 1 and 2; they're both on the same disc. for ps3.

    i love the graphics. the character creator is amazing. the combat is fun. the controls though are a mess. they had to shove a chat button on the square button. which can really screw you up, when you are in combat. they decided to put it there instead of making it the select button. or start or something. it isn't like there is a purpose to it. i mean there was multiplayer on this game, but the servers according to he game are NO longer online. so you can no longer play the game online anyways.

    so it is a completely useless button, that i wish i could remap, but as far as i can tell you can not.

    i also have no idea why they bothered with the character creator at all. your character has no weight to the story. in fact in the ballroom battle part, your character isn't even in the battle at all.

    instead you've switched you to playing the cliche douche guy. you do all the work, he basically gets all the credit. lol

    but at the same time i am glad i did get to create my character. it is a rather amazing character creator. and maybe i am a bigger factor later on? idk. these are just my first impressions of the game.

    over all, even though the game has some problems, it is a fun game. it isn't as fun as dragon's dogma. which is an amazing game, which actually puts your character that you created, AS the main character. not some other dude that delivers wine for a living, that just happened to meet a princess at like 7 years old. that's not cliche at all. lol

    but i'm still enjoying it. the art style is really pretty. you can make some a rather unique character in it. who basically is just a tag along character in somebody else's story, but i did spend about an hour messing around with that. it was quite fun.

    it is a fun game. it's a fun RPG. it just has it's share of problems.

    Just finished AC IV Black flag.

    Good game, like the open world ship upgrades and all. Story was ace and Edward's story arc was well done, quite a few feels for Kenway in this.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Very entertaining game. Disappointed with the character-customization, but that's just about the ONLY disappointing aspect of the game.

    Ultra Street Fighter 4. I like fighting games and games where there is no real objective other then beating the crap out of others like Mortal Kombat or Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. It's just a shame I need an Xbox One to play the upcoming fifth.

    Finally got around to playing 2013's Tomb Raider. Damn this game is awesome. I really need to get the Square Enix ultimate Action Triple pack (rented it over the weekend) Lara just got captured by some thugs and tied up without her axe or bow.

    I just started on Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess for the PS4, and so far it's going great. Haven't played the first two games in years and this update to last year's game feels quite refreshing. I'm glad the Tecmo team are continuing this series!

    Currently playing Captain Toad on the Wii U and Dragon's Crown on PS3. Both games are obviously quite different but both are fun in their own ways. I was also in the middle of playing Deus Ex Human Revolution on my PC but it's having some hardware issues right now so that's been put aside.
