    Played Transformers: Battlegrounds on switch... Eh, it's ok. I got the dlc but that was a waste of 10 bucks because a glitch makes it that you can't equip your new weapons you get from Wheeljack's lab therefore making it impossible to beat.

    Played Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World on GBA. A great classic. I did not do the hidden 8th world because I do not want the koopa troopa shells to change to Mario heads. Creepy.

    Played Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark on 3DS. Ohly crap this game is tons better than battlegrounds. I've beaten the game but I'm going back to get the side objectives later.

    Playing through Transformers: Prime - The Game on 3DS. It's decent but too short. Easily beaten in 3 hours.
    To unlock certain unlockables you have to do some objectives like beating a level in a certain way to get them but some are difficult to accomplish. Like Arcee chasing Airachnid in a highway and you can not take any damage. Avoid rocks and attacks. You got to have reflexes of a cat to do that. Something I don't have the skill to do anymore.

    Playing Elite Sniper 4. Had one hell of a great shot today. Was 200+Meters away and shot a guy through foliage and hit him in a grenade setting it off and killing a second guy at the same time! I laughed at that one. Love hitting enemies from 200+ Meters away.

    More elite sniper fun.

    On the Monastary level. Cleared most of the level. Got the big monastery but first need to clear a fort next to it. I sneak up the hill and start marking guys for targets. I take one or two out, but get spotted and have to retreat. Wait for things to calm down. I set a mine on a path from their direction to my hiding spot. Shot a guy or two and they are on alert. One guy come up the hill. BOOM! He is killed. I sneak down and plant another mine same spot. Do my thing now three guys come up. BOOOM! Triple kill! Cleared the rest of the fort out and now need to work the monastery.

    Tamed my first Griffin in Ark!

    Also started playing a game called Grounded, it’s like Honey I Shrunk the Kids as a survival game.

    I've been playing Final Fantasy IV (or 2 for us here in the US.) It's a bucket list game for me as it was my introduction into RPGs and I have never beaten it but like most Final Fantasy games, I'm getting frustrated. There are little tricks to every encounter and I know thats to keep the fights from getting old but the constant use of MP and getting beat on over and over gets old. Trying to work up the gumption to finish it but ugh. Feels like work more than gaming.

    Been playing Detroit: Become Human

    Going for Platinum right now. Probably would've gotten it already, but I made one "mistake" like halfway through the game. Whats funny is that I replayed that mission because I didn't like the outcome, but turns out I should've left it. I should have the Platinum trophy by tonight though.

    Ecco the Dolphin-Just got out of Pteranodon Pond after several deaths. If I remember correctly, Origin Beach is the last prehistoric level that isn't completely horrible. I do love the visual aesthetics however.

    I kinda know how you feel. I have a love/hate relationship with FFIV.

    I disliked the original FF on NES so much I swore off RPGs for a few years. But I had so much fun with FFIV it got me back into the genre. However, I was still never able to finish it. Inside the Giant of Bab-Il I got to those damn black orbs and couldn’t get any farther. I did finally finish it 15 years later, when I pushed through and did it. The endgame is rough.

    Why not just grind? That's what I do in every FF game. I will spend like 2 hours grinding every time I get to a new section.

    When I originally got stuck in FFIV, I tried grinding. The problem was that I was basically stuck inside the Giant and had no access to shops. There was a save point just before the boss where I could grind for a while then use a tent, but then I ran out of tents. So after grinding the only way I had to restore health was using a bunch of potions, and eventually those started running low. I had no save from before entering the Giant, so my only choices were to beat the boss or restart the whole game. So I just gave up.

    15 years later I played through the whole thing again and beat the orbs without too much trouble. I was still an RPG rookie way back when, so maybe that explains the trouble I had.

    So you know exactly what I'm saying. And I'm to the point I need to start gathering things to help me through the final parts of the game and it's even more work. I don't know if I want to keep doing this.

    Just bought Pokémon Yellow, since gamefreak was too stingy to give us LG/FR. Never did finish Kanto. I have Butterfree, Pidgey, Nidoran f, Mankey, Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Bellsprout. I got and kicked out Nidoran m, Clefairy and Oddish for the deck. I blew into Vermillion city last night. I had no idea that you were supposed to make your Pikachu happy in order to get Bulbasaur the first time I played. My group is coming along nicely for the most part. Although my Nidoran and Bellsprout are struggling a bit.

    I'm traveling through the Metroid series in preparation for Dread.

    I'm not going for 100% on items on them except for the Prime series.

    Finished the original Metroid GBA and Metroid 2: Return of Samus NN3DS and played Metroid: Zero Mission (which I find easier than the original) and just beat Metroid: Samus Returns (which I find the original easier) and started Super Metroid last night. After SM I'm heading to the Prime series. I'm skipping Other M and Federation Force and will finish with Metroid Fusion.

    Agent Intercept... This is a mixed bag for me. It's a lovely, lovely homage to Spyhunter (more the GameCube era than anything else) and it can be fun but wow is it a mess.
    They just patched it due to graphical issues (and lemme tell ya, there are a-plenty. An RTX was having issues on some levels and this game runs on a potato, so...), and their focus with the game seems to be more about MMO rather than a good story mode.

    If you want to compete against other human beings and beat their scores, great. If you want side missions that more or less go nowhere but give you "cred", great. If you want a solid core game with a lot of thrills and fun, this ain't it. Three lands, five levels each... I beat it in an afternoon's worth of time. ...it was $20.00 plus tax. Not really feeling it was worth the money. Sure, there's DLC coming and there will be new levels to play on the competitive side of things, but I'd really like to see a longer version of the main game itself.

    Really feeling burnt on this one. I want to love it, I enjoy playing it, it looks great but... *sigh* It feels like something you'd get for free on Game Pass Ultimate or Gold. Can't believe I actually bought it. Really thought there'd be more to it. Not saying it's not worth your money, it's just not worth this much money. Wait for a good sale before buying it.

    I finished Judgement. A great spin-off from Yakuza series.

    The story and characters are great and distinct, even if they are set in the same universe. The combat and the different fighting styles feels unique, and the graphics are pretty good.

    Only wish the detective segments weren’t too simple, but other than that, it makes me excited for the sequel Lost Judgement!
