What are you playing right now?

I finished Fuko's route. I'm going to do Komura-sensei's route, and then Misae's route, and then Tomoyo's route, and on from there, with Nagisa's route last. Nagisa is the girl most like me, and my favourite.

I'm still obsessing about Skyrim on PS4. I got my character to Level 19 and finally decided to join the emperor's army so I can get some of the main quests and the storyline going. Even after playing for hours I'm still amazed about how much there is to explore. I still have so many open quests and undiscovered areas I sometimes even refuse to talk to new people in the towns so I don't get flooded with too much stuff.

Grandia 1. was a big fan of Grandia 2...and good grief there is so much reading in Grandia 1, good thing that the characters are funny, as it's definitely a game more about the reading than the combat so far (4 hours in), Grandia 2 seems to have gone the opposite philosophy.

How interesting! I played them in the opposite order (ie. I played Grandia at release) and the original is one of my favourite JRPGs (and easily Game Arts' best game), whereas 2 was a massive disappointment that lacked the original's charm and substance. This is in spite of the hideous graphics and bad voiceovers.

I need to replay it some time, I have it on my Vita and more recently played through Grandia 2, when its (new) PC port was released.

I've been playing Trails in the Sky FC. I was playing The 3rd but I feel pretty apathetic about it compared to the first two, so I figure if I replay the whole trilogy the momentum alone should push me through The 3rd. That's how gaming physics work, right?! These games actually remind me a lot of Grandia, in that they have an incredible amount of charm and a well-judged mix of industrial revolution and magical themes... and they both start off as small, character-focused stories and become much more epic. It feels like a lot of JRPGs now forget the importance of character progression being mirrored by the plot.

I've wanted to try out Grandia, but part of me is still hoping that the Saturn version will get translated.

I'm playing TESO and Hackmud. And looking to get into AC Black Flag.

I'm at a convention, so some different stuff today.

Spent a good chunk of time rampaging through the leaderboards of Gyruss and Robotron in the arcade room. I'm relatively certain I screwed up some sort of high score competition by taking every slot on the list with Gyruss. Though I knew that would happen. That machine keeps showing up at these, and every time, I set a high score and it never gets beaten. I've played games like these way too much.

....And then there's Star Fox. The original. Holy crapsticks that has NOT aged well. It's aged really badly. Yeah, it was nice back in the day, but nowadays it's borderline unplayable. I mean, it runs at like, almost half a frame per minute maybe. And the controls really arent very good. In some areas it's hard to even tell what's going on. The N64 one was so much better. And then the series simply ended there. What's that? There were more games? No, you all just hallucinated those. They dont exist.

Lastly, some laptop gaming. Today, Enter the Gungeon (also found on PS4). It's like Isaac, except you die alot more. It's fun, but it has it's moments where the RNG is just a real turdball. It'll make you hate keys. So much. And that shopkeeper, I've never wanted to kill a shopkeeper in a roguelike as much as that guy. But you cant do it, not in this game.

Also cosplaying as Chara from Undertale the whole time all of this is happening. Somehow, it just adds to it.

I'm still playing Rune Factory 4. I'm confronting the greatest challenge in the game: getting everyone's relationship points to 10.

Chess

I've had a couple days off from uni stuff and there's been a lot of stuff coming out for VR so I've been playing a fair bit of Superhot VR and Pavlov VR. The best thing about Pavlov VR is that it got Steam Workshop support, and so now it has a fair few custom maps. So everyone seems to be playing this map.



Since Goldeneye 64 was one of my favourite games as a kid, it's been awesome. I don't really know much about guns, so it's taking me a while to get used to all the different gun loading mechanics. Most embarrassing moment I seem to keep having is forgetting to use two hands to hold the sniper rifle and having it launch itself back across the room.

I'm considering switching over to Dragon Quest IX for a bit.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.

And soon I'll start the Adventure of Link, since I'm playing through all the Zelda games.

I disagree; I think it's just as unplayable today as it was back then.

Allegedly you can swap the hardware around and get improved framerate by using an updated SuperFX chip, but people are getting mixed results.



I'm still working on Spirit Tracks =| The Tower sections are really annoying to try to work through in 15-minute chunks (having to get all three seeds every time), so I've been putting it off and telling myself I'll work through that part while I'm at home.

I'm playing Dragon Quest VIII [3DS] for the first time. I also got Fire Emblem Echoes, but I'll save that for later.

I'm currently playing X-Plane 11 and Rocksmith 2014 more than anything else, not that these are games really. The most recent games I've been playing are Dishonoured 2, Bioshock Remastered 2, Sniper Elite V2 & 3, and Wolfenstein The New Order.

Grand Theft Auto:The Trilogy for the Vintage PS2 along with Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas (Xbox 360 Version),Grand Theft Auto IV:The Complete Edititon,Grand Theft Auto V & Assassin's Creed:Ezio Trilogy,but not The Americas Collection or Rogue along with Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory,Splinter Cell:Double Agent & Splinter Cell:Blacklist
