Final Fantasy VI.

Six is NOT afraid of Seven. That JRPG did EVERYTHING right. Awesome story, awesome gameplay, awesome characters, awesome world to explore, awesome villain, and such an amazing soundtrack.

I have to agree that FFVI is completely amazing everything this game has going on is awesome, I wish though that this game would get a fantastic remake it deserves

Beat Momohime's route in Muramasa Rebirth for the Vita. The game gets repetitive really fast. I'm think this game is beant to be played on Fury Mode.

I beat Bioshock Infinite for PC. That game has one of the most twisted storylines I have ever seen. The story reminded me a lot of Virtue's Last Reward's story. The ending was shocking. Other than that, this is a fantastic game with very fun gameplay mechanics. I hardly found any flaws other than some areas where gameplay can be a bit repetitive. It could very well compete with The Last of Us for GotY.

 

Final Score: 4.25/5

I've been playing Gunpoint, an indie game on steam, that is an espionage sidescroller that involves manipulating electricity (and being sneaky, obviously) in order to complete your missions.  The game is rather unique in that it doesn't give you a gun (unless you spend a shitton of money on one in the store, and honestly, it would just kill the fun of it, to me), and it actually scores you on stealth!  If you're quiet, don't kill anyone, and if no one knows you're there, you get a better rank.  This ties in with speed though, because your rank will suffer if you take your sweet time.

 

Now, getting to the electricity part- basically, at a certain mission, you'll be required to purchase a crosslink.  This device will let you change how things are affected by light-switches and such- for example, you can rig a light-switch to open a locked door for you, or have it trigger an elevator for you.  Eventually though, only certain things can affect other things- red can only affect red, green can only affect green, etc.  So you'll get into a complicated pattern of say, having a red light-switch activate an elevator, so that when the elevator dings, it'll activate a green sound-detector, that will activate a green elevator switch that will end up activating a blue sound-detector just to open a blue door.  It gets complicated and really makes you think, but it's so satisfying when you finally figure out what you have to do.  There are also other gadgets you can buy that can very well change how you do the missions, as well.

 

There's a pretty good story behind it all, too- it starts off with you basically being hired by a woman at a company to work as a spy, but as you're on your way to see her, she gets murdered, and you're the only one on the security tapes- so simply enough, you go to get rid of the security tapes.  However, there are a lot of other parties you get involved with- all revolving around this murder and the company.  I haven't finished it quite yet, but it's very much grabbed my attention.

 

This would probably be my personal pick for GotY so far, but I'll have to wait and see what else comes out the rest of the year.  If you have a spare $10, I highly recommend this.

Well, I've beaten Shin Megami Tensei IV I choose to go with Walter (Chaos path). And I was like Jesus Christ what have I done!?

Not going to say what happened but it was something different and sad and awesome at the same time.

 

Anyways I'm going to let my 3DS take a rest, and time to start up Persona 4 I had to buy another one, for me...

My mother wanted the one I let her borrow. Well anyways time to start this game up.

I've been making solid progress on Etrian Odyssey. Presently looking for the exit of floor 19, while also trying to do some quests on the side. Kinda stopped playing Mercenary Kings. Not because I stopped having fun or anything, I just haven't gotten back to it. ._. I usually co-op it with a friend, and our schedules haven't been all that in sync lately. XD I would like to pick it back up again. (Actually, if anyone on here plays it, shoot me a PM or something and we can play some time. :3)

I haven't technically started playing it yet, since I'm busy right now, but I have the page open and all I have to do is click the link to start it. What is it? Well...

 

Take a look for yourself...

Just got to Kanji's dungeon in Persona 4, Everything is going well for me so far... though it seems I can't beat Contrarian King in Yukiko's dungeon just yet... oh well I'll beat him soon maybe?

 

Also throwing this out there being on a dead line for rescuing someone is pretty intense.

I just started playing Animal Crossing: City Folk (USA version) after about 8 months from playing along with TloZ Skyward Sword.

The good news is that he's the hardest out of all the post-dungeon bosses in the entire game. It's best to use a Persona who's immune or resistant to Physical attacks (Rampage is the one that kills you) or use a Party whose Level is at 30. 

 

Played a little bit of Shin Megami Tensei IV. Don't you hate when enemies get criticals almost all the time and you die because of it? That Minotaur boss!

 

I'm so excited about Tales of Xillia launching tomorrow. I'm planning on starting with Jude's Route first than Milla's.

Well I did get him beat last night, Just managed to fuse Rakhasha which is strong against physical attacks. And its quite beatable at level 24 I found out just takes time

And also I saved Kanji, Yet another boss that my Rakhasha Persona helped on.

Man that is annoying with the enemies getting criticals... I know late in the game there is some bosses that will get a critical  every odd turn and totally kill you without you getting a chance to do anything.

 

Whats worse is they hit your party and you are weak against the spell they hit you with and on top of that its a critical hit which gives then more turnes  ... <.<

I really don't want to switch the difficulty to Easy Mode. The last time I did that was from the game Catherine. That's because it's almost impossible to beat the game on Normal.

I know I was tempted to turn it to easy... after dying plenty of times, but trust me once you get passed the beginning area of the game and get into Tokyo the game gets much more easy

Ventus, this may seem off topic, but if you can find Devil Survivor 2 in stores, get it with no questions asked. Think Shin Megami Tensei meets Disgaea/FFT. You'll love the story. It's on the same level as Persona 4.

Looks pretty good, I'll have to look and see if I can find it!, I think I like Shin Megami Tensei games now?

Thanks for letting me now about that game!
