Topic: Games you've recently beat

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Thanks. I really like the idea of a big interconnected world as it adds more depth and background knowing that there's more going on. There were reports that the Crossbell arc could be localised for the PS4. Hopefully the same will be done for the Trails in the Sky trilogy so more people can enjoy them. At the moment I don't have the means to play Trails in the Sky the 3rd because it was only released on Steam. :-/

@mookysam No computer? I imagine that game would practically be able to run on a toaster.

After I beat Trails of the Sky SC I felt way burned. Yes the writing is good, the plot is good but the game drags way long. I also have Trails the 3d but I have not the courage to play it. Trails of the Cold Steel 1 has some bizzare anime jokes that I am not that fond of but the plot is engaging. I have not beaten it yet in Vita but it has some framerate issues. I was thinking tracking a cheap PS4 copy

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Man, you weren't lying about the music. It's not even all that bad, it's just... aggressively bland. Like, I JUST stopped listening to it, and I can't even remember what it sounded like.

Thorough as always, Foxy. I think I'll give this a pass after I finally get around to replaying Jade Cocoon. It sounds like a massive downgrade in almost every way. Yet another promising franchise on PS1 that withered on the PS2 (another series that comes to mind is Galerians; great PS1 game, but the PS2 sequel was pretty bland in comparison).

I'm rubbish at ever replying to this thread as I mainly read the forum on my phone but good work @Ralizah @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy @Th3solution @RR529 @RangerTwin @mookysam for their thoughts over the last couple of pages. I particularly enjoyed the review of Let It Die, even if Foxy didn't enjoy the game as much!

And no offence to anyone who I might have missed off that list. You're all lovely too.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Eh, better to overdo than to underdo it. The result is that I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what it would be like playing the game, which is the function of a user review in the first place.

Ah, a thrash metal fan, are we? Were these foes slain to Master of Puppets-era Metallica, or are you a post-Black album hipster?

@RogerRoger I saw what you did there

Been away in Berlin so not much gaming but managed to finish Mutazione which was an awesomely chill and lovely narrative game. If you are in to such things that is.

i recently beat (or i should say RE-beat) Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Dracula is still a b**** of a fight

Damn, I haven’t beat a game in a long while. Huge backlog, little time and no drive to pick & stick with a game. 😩

@FullbringIchigo Noice. Did you do the inverted castle too?

Completed my first (Claire) play through of Resident Evil 2 REmake the other day. Overall I did enjoy it although I did not like some of the backtracking required, mind you some of that was due to me being an idiot and forgetting an item like some ammo or medicine. I am undecided whether or not to do another play through as Leon. It definitely won't be straight away.

As I was playing it, it dawned on me that I hardly remember any of the game. That well could be, but I remember more of the first and third games. So I either only played as Leon when I played the original version, large chunks of the game have been introduced for the remake, or I only played part of game originally. Either way it was almost like playing a totally new game for me.

@JohnnyShoulder RE2make is a radically redesigned game, so it's no surprise that it doesn't feel terribly familiar to you.

@Arugula @Ralizah I didn't even remember the Tyrant, Mr G or Sherry. I think the last two are unique to Claire's run though.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy He is never referenced as Mr X in the REmake. I thought the Tyrant was what people were referencing when they mentioned Mr X? But yeah it is William Berkin, Sherry's Dad. Think he is just called G in the game.

I like all the character models you unlock, which have different animations which you can play.

EDIT: Just figured out that is who you were on about! Whoops! 😶

@mookysam yes i did, i even uploaded the ending to YouTube

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Mr X is called The Tyrant in my play through of the REmake. You don't find out who 'G' is until a bit later in the game, he is just called 'G' when you unlock his character model. I think that is correct, I will double check when I'm on my PS4 later.

I finally finished Kiwami 2 the other day. Another great game in the series but the story felt like it fell a little flat at the end. The Majima storyline was a neat addition to the overall story but a bit boring to play which is a shame seeing as the character is so great.

Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when Majima comes for you?

@KratosMD @RogerRoger @Ralizah @Thrillho Yeah, I never completed Yakuza Zero, but I played it through about halfway (maybe I’ll get back to it one day) and one of the highlights are the characters. The protagonists are very endearing and relatable, despite being gangsters who beat people up and engage in illegal ventures.
I heard that Majima has a major change in personality from Zero to Kiwami, but I really liked him in Zero. Almost as much as Kiryu.

“Nani?”
