HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! -
1) Goldeneye 007 :xsx: (100% Achievements) 2) NASCAR Heat 4 (Platinum) Late-platty glitches aside (had to win an extra race to activate the 200 wins trophy and had to delete my career and jumpstart a Cup series career to buy 6 truck series trucks and pop the 6 cars platinum), I think this was mostly a good game. It veers a bit too much towards simulation where you need to have good set-ups to be able to realistically compete but since it's an old game there's mostly good setups already on the internet. I love the career mode, NASCAR games where you can race up from dirt to trucks to late models to cup always hits the right way. I did avoid racing multiple series at the same time because the trophies apparently glitch if you do, but I figure I'll buy the Switch NASCAR Heat Ultimate and use that as my prime NASCAR multi-series NASCAR game

2.) Forspoken This one was kind of rough around the edges. I didn't hate it, and the traversal was super fun, but the story was kind of simplistic, cliché and not very subtle. The main character was only likely through the lens of her companion somehow being even less likable, and the map was about double the size it should have been and strewn about with so much random busy work that it probably made Ubisoft jealous. The story had potential, but the dialogue and a lot of the core story writing was just plain not great. I really solid writer probably could have done something far more interesting with it even hitting the same story beats. The world building was pretty decent though overall. Felt like the world had a pretty rich history that was fun to read about. I don't regret buying it, and I did have fun with it, but I honestly wish it was shorter overall. I ended up only doing enough to get the Platinum, and thank god that didn't require 100% completion because I was more than ready to be done by that point.

I liked the chapter this week too. There’s more to it than what I might have thought last week, but it’s also not too convoluted. Pretty good balance in that regard. Situation is getting critical again this week in The Elusive Samurai! Sakamoto was short this week

It was a birthday gift in 2021 which is part of why I had a physical cartridge. And also why I feel even worse about losing it. I'm hoping at some point I at least find it whenever we move from here or something. The last I remember is putting it inside a pouch in my backpack. I fear that it accidentally fell out when I was reaching for something else or something like that. Holy shit, I found it! It was in a duffle bag that was in my girlfriend's closet. I literally checked every other bag and coat I owned and finally asked her about any time she remembered me using one of her bags. All is good

I was all digital on my 3DS, so no worries about losing game carts I put so many hours into Bravely Default…
-
I want to get Bravely Default II also. I wanted to wait until I finished the first one, but I can't find my 3DS cartridge anymore -_-
-
Octopath Traveler is on the ol’ to-do list… some day… if I can ever finish all my goals in Diablo 2 I need a good JRPG back in my life though. It’s either going to be Octopath or Bravely Default 2 next up. (I effing loved Bravely Default and Bravely Second!)

Has anyone else read To Your Eternity? Just bought and read the first volume. Was really impressed. A unique story that is deftly told. Reminded me a lot of Fire Punch. By the author of A Silent Voice.

1. Pokemon Violet 2. :snes: Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 3. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage 4. Octopath Traveler I FINALLY DID IT! I 100%'d the whole game. Beat all the side stories, beat all the main stories, and went to the Gate of Finis and whooped Galdera's ass. Not after he fucked me up two times prior. I loved this game so damn much. It has just about everything I would ever ask for in a JRPG. Multiple characters, can start as any of them, they're not necessarily mandatory, and all the secret optional stuff to find. Optional dungeons and bosses, hidden equipment, engaging stories and characters, a real difficulty curve that is only easy if you learn how to break the game - which is kind of the reward. By the time I was strong enough to beat the first Chapter 4, the rest of the final bosses were relatively easy (Simeon sucked, though), but that also gave me more incentive to swap up my team a bit. I also loved the job system. It's a bit annoying not being able to double up with the secret jobs, and I would love if you could add one command from the other jobs(ala FFV), but it forces you to think more carefully about your setup, and keeps the 8 characters more unique. Only Alfyn can concoct, and while that was annoying to me because I really wanted Tressa to be my Alfyn, it made me develop them into their own personalities that could even work in conjunction with each other. I started with Therion because I love thieves and wanted to be able to steal and open up all the chests from the get-go. If I ever do a replay, I feel I'd struggle to pick a different character, but it would probably be Ophilia, because she's a monster. My primary party was basically Therion, Olberic, Ophilia, and Alfyn, though I also liked swapping Olberic with H'aanit and liked the cut of Tressa's jib. Part of me wishes I gave more attention to Primrose early, but after a bit of grinding, she was pretty essential in the final boss. An ultimately minor, but should-be-addressed complaint is the formulaic structure of the stories and the fact that the stories aren't really interwoven. There are small connections that have huge implications in the final boss story, but the lack of important interactions between the characters hindered the immersion for me a bit. The Travel Banter and especially the Tavern Banter was a novel way to include, but the lack of voice-acting and actual scenes makes it feel more tacked on than profound, which is a shame since most of these characters have interesting backstories and personalities that deserve more of a highlight. Some of the dialogue during the banters only confirms this. The formulaic feel can also be said for the dungeons, which very few felt notable or significant from the others. The ones in the forest or inside a building were always the most engaging, but the myriad caves all blurred together. And the shape of them all gives little but "find the boss fight and get the loot, maybe a cutscene." I think something like that could be at least masked by putting some of the dungeons in your way. There is no actual dungeon you have to go through to reach a town or settlement, and I think having some areas like that - where the area has a transient, but significant plot connection - would help in making the chapter-locked dungeons feel less repetitive. I don't know if this specific idea has been implemented, but from what I've heard, the sequel does a lot to fix the formulaic feel and the lack of real party interaction. The last complaint I have is the final dungeon, which I guess I'll put in spoilers just in case. I also ramble a lot here about my specific strategy, so you know, if ya wanna skip: So yes, the final dungeon is annoying, but I kind of liked that it forced me to really take my setups more seriously. I know there are ways I could have cheesed even more damage, but it involved strategies I didn't want to take the risk on or do the research to figure out how to safeguard them. I do think it's a big ask for people who don't want to get into math and hyper analyzing your setup, and I'm sure some would be upset that the one unifying element of the stories is locked into a boss like that, but then again, those who are looking for the optional dungeons are probably willing to put in that work anyway. Fantastic game. I can't wait to buy the second one. It only took me 4 years to beat it, but it happened.

The visuals are nice. There are some nice creature comfort improvements on your backpack. Everything is the same size so far. Super easy to mark stuff to sell. There are different sections for consumables, gear, quest items, etc. I haven't played too much, only level 15 necro, so I can't say how the leveling and stuff works too much. I'm not going to spend any real time working on a build due to the 3 day beta. There are some nice world even type things that other people can help with. Overall it feels good so far.

Duuuuude that finale was "chef kiss* And as much as I'm not a fan of the animation style really fitting with this series I will give them credit for the effects in some of the scenes near these last couple of episodes and that final fight. I actually really enjoyed how that fight flowed.

Lots of potentially helpful/insightful reax to D4 here on the PureDiablo D2 Single Player Forum that you might find interesting to read. These views are of course coming from people that are primarily D2 fans. PureDiablo is the successor to the old Diabloii.net forums if anybody around here used to post there. The D2 SPF is loaded with great stuff

Based on vibes, how much more does this feel like Diablo in comparison to Diablo 3? I only played a small bit of D3 as local co-op, but it didn't have the same feels as D1 and D2. So I guess I'm wondering if D4 does anything different that might appeal to someone who's gut reaction to D3 was lukewarm?
