I was playing Psychonauts. I was interested on its atmosphere and humour despite its mediocre gameplay and excess, EXCESS, of cutscenes and interruptions, but for whatever reason they decided to add a bunch of unconnected, random mind levels at the later parts of the game. The Milkman level was at least funny with all those agents. The actress and Napoleon ones... not really. Dropped at the highly stereotipical mexican level.

Now I'm playing Golvellius: La queste du second. Pretty good custom quest. Amazing overworld and wonderful dungeon design.

Honestly, you should push on from there. That's the last random mind level; after that it's the game's climax and Hellish final level (although it got nerfed quite a bit for the Steam release, so it might not be nearly as difficult as people who played the original release claim it to be).

I just started playing Tales of Xillia 2. So far, it is better in almost every way over the original Xillia. Comboing bosses are back! :D They also brought back sidestepping from Tales of Graces f.

That game needs a complete overhaul for its quest tracker. It just can not handle the late game where you have like 20 quests related to the various endings.

Beat Shovel Knight. I can honestly say this is easily one of the best games I've ever played, at least certainly one of the best in recent years. For me it was endless fun from start to finish, a love letter to the classic 8-bit days of gaming while adding its own spin on things as well. Excellent visuals, atmosphere, soundtrack, and even the story gave me some feels. It's an amazing package that just about anyone who calls themselves a gamer should play.

 

Next up, I'll probably try to beat Megaman 3 on my 3DS, then move on to V for the Game Boy. I should also try advancing past the beginning of Sticker Star... and the first world of Tropical Freeze... and the mid-second world of NSMBU... I certainly am good at commitment.

Been playing Rune Factory 4 for the past 3 days.

 

Can honestly say I'm addicted, I haven't been active anywhere online in the past 3 days.

To fill the gap from now and Dangan Ronpa 2, I've been tackling some small downloadable games I grabbed on the 3DS e-shop at some point or another. Currently playing Pushmo. I've got a little over a page and a half of puzzles remaining from the looks of it. Having quite a bit of fun with this one. The later puzzles are really devious. O:

I shall murder anyone who spoils Danganronpa 2 :evil:. :P

 

I made it to Chapter 4 in Tales of Xillia 2. There are A LOT of sidequests in this game. So far, they have been very enjoyable. Man I really find Nova to be annoying. After being slapped with a 20 million gald debt, she is pestering me for money!

I mean.

 

Same here, except I've had my copy since the 8th, and I've managed to not neglect other things in the process. Like eating. And work. And playing Elsword.

Beat Megaman V today, along with finishing up my 3 file, both on 3DS Virtual Console. 3 is great as usual, just not too fond of the button layout with it on 3DS, or maybe it's just the buttons themselves.

 

As for V, it was actually kinda refreshing in a way. Some new ideas and features were thrown in and it was quite fun, though the story was kind of meh, but I guess that's standard of Megaman. My only real problems were that there were just a couple segments that required a little too much precision, and it seemed like you had to backtrack too far if you died in each level, like there weren't enough checkpoints. I know some Megaman games did this already, but this one seemed to do so even more. Also, the controls were just a little too floaty for my tastes, especially since I'm used to the precise controls of the NES games. Otherwise, it wasn't half bad.

 

I... should probably get back to the four or five games in limbo. :heh:

What are you talking about? That villain twist in the end was incredible! No one could ever have guessed who was behind it all.

 

It was almost as good as the time Wily disguised himself in sunglasses, a fake beard and a dracula cape. He had me completely fooled!

 

... Ooops. I probably should have put that last one in spoilers. ;)

Well I mean at least Wily himself wasn't the last boss of V. :blah:

So along side Pusmo, I started playing Saints Row IV since it was 20 bucks on the PSN. Never played the other games, but I'm having a great time with this one. XD It's just so over the top and whacky. Not very far in it yet though, as I've been doing all the side stuff. Damn there's a lot of it. ._.

Bought Megaman 6 off the eShop a little after it came out last week and beat it today. Was better than I remember, really good, had some great stage design and neat ideas with the Rush adapter. ... might have enjoyed it a little better than 3 possibly. *hides from the bricks*
