I played Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle & The Millionaires' Conspiracy on my iPad and loved it. It was different than the previous Layton games and the graphics were much improved. Overall, I can’t recommend the game highly enough.
The PSVR is the best VR system on the market today.
Oh man Silent Hill 2 still holds up. I think it’s probably the best game ever made, there’s 0 bloat and every minute counts. Currently in [REDACTED DUE TO IT BEING AN ANSWER IN MY QUIZ] and yeah, I admit to actually screaming out loud. Laura is a wee brat though, locking me in that room. Someone parent that girl properly.
@nessisonett Yeah that game seriously freaked me out when I played it when it came out, more so than any other game up until then. Pyramid Head is such an iconic enemy in video gaming for me.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@KratosMD I got it on PS4. It’s basically 4 locations with something like 6 stages per location, it’s a relatively short game but it does get pretty challenging at points, though I haven’t been overwhelmed. I say this going into the final location
I’ve been playing GTA III, I’ve only ever played San Andreas and V and I’m really enjoying it. I’m doing a good job in lockdown of playing games I should have played a long time ago. Both this and Limbo are games I’m glad I’ve got round to in the last few days.
@JohnnyShoulder Hey, it's gotta be a cliché for a reason, right...?!
@KratosMD I'm glad you acknowledged yet another spectacularly convoluted title, but also glad you've found something to hold your interest. I think that's always gonna be a problem going back to the PS Vita; part of me is resigned to never finding anything new for it now, so it's simply become a nice legacy console for when I wanna replay things. Its back-catalogue is just so finite, even with PSP backwards compatibility.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
Demon Gaze was OK for a DRPG on the Vita. Better than Dungeon Travelers 2, anyway, which had insane levels of fanservice and some terribly bland characters who keep talking to you. I liked it enough to finish it.
In a sad twist of fate, though, the cute elf guy from the original kinda... lets himself go in the sequel.
Then again, Etrian Odyssey perma-ruined me on other dungeon crawlers. Nothing in the genre even begins to compare to that series.
On topic: I'm playing something on my Switch called Runner3, and it's an auto-runner indistinguishable from something I'd play on a mobile device. I think the gameplay is supposed to be in time with the music or something, but the audio is seriously nothing to write home about. That's a problem I notice with a lot of indie rhythm-type games (such as the bland Crypt of the NecroDancer).
Also, the bonus "impossible levels" have really wack difficulty balancing.
I figure I'll play a level a day and eventually be done with it.
@nessisonett He really does. Honestly, all he's missing is the gopher face and a fixation on anime porn.
@Ryall I stopped one or two post-game bosses short of obtaining the platinum in the original, but I mostly enjoyed my time with it. I like how vocaloid-heavy the music is in both.
@Ralizah Oh no I was more referring to a certain returning character in the 2nd game that had a similar transformation! Still one of the strangest moments in gaming for me, seeing his... new look for the first time.
@nessisonett Ah, you mean fat Byakuya. Yeah, the transformation is reminiscent of that, for sure. The body reminds me a lot more of Hifumi, though: especially with those stubby little legs.
Fantasy Life is one of the best games on the 3DS. Really tragic that the series went down the mobile rabbit hole and never reappeared. Yet another amazing Level-5 property that'll become irrelevant.
@KratosMD Oh, yeah, it's a story-driven JRPG that takes tens of hours to "beat" (i.e. reach the credits). If you want to master all of the various "lives," though, you'll be playing long after the credits finish. Especially if you spring for the DLC, which adds a difficult post-game area to explore, and adds another final level onto the 'life' mastery system.
I'm not sure I'd say the game even has "grinding" to it, unless you mean level grinding to better survive in some of the game's more dangerous areas (which I found to be pretty necessary in the DLC areas, and sometimes before tackling a difficult enemy). Each life, or job, requires you to complete a series of increasingly difficult tasks to go up in rank. For the woodcutter, this means cutting down trees from increasingly more dangerous areas. The warrior, if I remember correctly, has to fight increasingly difficult creatures (there are a number of special boss monsters you can find wandering around various areas in the game that you'll want to fight as well, sort of like Monster Hunter). The cook had to create increasingly more elaborate dishes. etc. Because all of the crafting jobs require the acquisition of resources, all of the lives feed into one-another and cumulatively help you grow stronger. Like, Woodcutting and Carpentry go hand-in-hand, as do Mining and Blacksmithing. You'll probably find yourself frequently switching between lives (which is easy-ish to do; you just go to a desk and request a Life change, which changes you active job) because of this, and most of them feel like they contribute to bettering your character in some way (if I recall correctly, all the Carpenter life does is task you with building furniture, which is mainly good for selling and for decorating the houses you can buy, if you're into that sort of thing; almost everything else is very useful to the JRPG side of the equation).
If you have any 3DS playing friends, the game is a lot of fun in local co-op multiplayer, btw. Still great even if you play it purely single-player, though.
