I would absolutely love this but only like for traditional turn based RPGs like say the new Eiyuden Chronicle. The easiest way I drop games like that is I’m underleveled I don’t wanna grind and I just go nah I’m done. Hell if this was real I probably would have beaten Eiyuden Chronicle Rising hahaha.
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Gonna be a real busy one this week with everything that’s occurred and everything upcoming this week. Who told the last week of April to be so packed????? Anywho here we go with a packed week of some Dragons Dogma 2 and the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide as well as some more Princess Peach Showtime and AI: The Somnium Files. AI in particular is just absolutely excellent. Also snagged a bunch of good sales this week like Suicide Squad and Hollow Knight. Even some preorders like Endless Ocean: Luminous and Little Kitty Big City. Even snagged WWE 2K23 for cheap to get some wrestling love going. We love Rhea Ripley. As for this weekend I dabbled in some of the Splatoon 3 Springfest and some WWE 2K23 and the rest of the weekend I’m thinking some Trails Into Reverie and some Persona 3 Reload. Loving both of those games too they’re really exciting RPGs. As for the week ahead oh boi we got a busy one we talking Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes, Tales of Kenzaura: Zau, Saga Emerald Beyond, the Fallout 4 PS5 upgrade, the Knuckles show, the full Persona 3 Reload OST on Spotify, and the crown jewel of the week Stellar Blade. To say I’m excited is a bit of a understatement because I am positively hype. Of course I’ll be working with all those games on Switch and PS5 and others already listed like Suicide Squad but I’ve of course still got other ones I’m looking to put more time into as well like Pepper Grinder, Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, FFVII Rebirth and probably many more I’m already forgetting hahaha. Anime this week are gonna be a shout-out to the standouts of the Winter season before next week we pick out our Spring ones. Those of course being Witch and the Beast, High Card, Metallic Rouge, Shangri-La Frontier, Undead Unluck, Delicious in Dungeon, and my GOAT URUSEI YATSURA. Also might get to go on a ooting this week and get to see the new Spy X Family: Code White Movie. Also in terms of shows I’m gonna try to focus on Twisted Metal and FALLOUT and of course Knuckles. As for podcasts of the week I gotta give it to my usual favorites like Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Windbreak and Firelink and just like the games probably so many more that I’ve forgotten. With how my jobs getting with morning shifts I’m getting to cash in on those GOTY podcasts. Don’t think I mentioned this here but I also completed the full smash bros set of amiibos a week or two ago. Extremity proud of it. And of course we gotta give a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their stupendous stunning streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a great rest of the weekend and week, And Happy Gaming.
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Pretty decent week this week as I got to beat Hi-Fi Rush, try out Eddy Gordo and dabble in Helldivers 2 and Penny’s Big Breakaway. All absolutely excellent tho I would say my favorite of that was Hi-FI Rush. The final boss fight with Kale is just a work of art. Also picked up a copy of Pepper Grinder and preordered Saga Emerald Beyond. Also secured the money in the bank for the FFXVI DLC coming out this week The Rising Tide. And I would say the most important and interesting part of this week if you couldn’t tell by my little reference there is I would now say I’ve gotten into professional wrestling. Yep I saw Wrestlemania last weekend and it just clicked for me finally and I just love it. Like most things with “sides” I would say like marvel or dc I’ve firmly decided on WWE over AEW. As for games this weekend aside from hifi rush and penny like I said I’m thinking of finishing off the weekend with some Trails Into Reverie and Persona 3 Reload. Other than that I got some real early shifts this week so I’m thinking of looking on the bright side with that one and using it to work on some more Unicorn Overlord. Other then that the switch plans are simple: Princess Peach Showtime, Another Code, AI The Somnium Files and the games I’ve listed before. And on the PS5 I’m thinking of dabbling in some FFXVI before the DLC as well as other games like Dragons Dogma 2 and FFVII Rebirth as well as the other games I’ve listed before too. Anime of the week have to go to such excellent shows like Mashle, Solo Leveling, High Card, Shangri-La Frontier, Delicious in Dungeon and Witch and the Beast. Tho I won’t lie my main focus I feel this month in terms of shows is gonna be on Game Adaptations. I wanna watch Twisted Metal and Fallout before the Knuckles show comes out and I think they all will make a excellent trio of shows. As for podcasts of the week you know it’s the usual beauties like Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, WIndbreaker and Firelink, Nextlander, Minnmax, Remap Radio and this week special newcomer Easy Allies podcast. All seriously awesome and excellent listens. Of course we gotta give a special amd lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their absolutely excellent streams. As always be good to each other. Stay safe and have a great rest of the weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Alrighty here we go with another edition of WAYP. Pretty simple this week. Big things of the past week would have to be seeing everything John Wick related, the movie Monkey Man and beating both Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown and Rain Code. All of it was simply amazing really. All simply superb. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking of just keeping it simple and doing Trails Into Reverie on switch with some of the womens basketball finals on and either Eiyuden Chronicle Rising or Hi-Fi Rush on PS5. Did the Stellar Blade demo and I locked that preorder in it’s absolutely amazing. As for the rest of the week I think I’ll keep it simple. Talking the Saga Emerald Beyond Demo on switch and Princess Peach Showtime and Another Code and Unicorn Overlord and I’m thinking AI: The Somnium Files will take the place of Rain Code now as there’s rumors they’re about to announce a third one. If they do I really wanna have both of the other games done before then. And hopefully finally start Penny’s Big Breakaway too. Over on PS5 if I can actually start Eiyuden Chronicle Rising that’s definitely the main focus of the week with a little Hi-Fi Rush, Persona 3 Reload, FFVII Rebirth, Tekken 8 to try Eddy Gordo out, Dragons Dogma 2 and hopefully finally start Helldivers 2 as well. As for anime of the week we’re finally really back at it with some absolutely excellent stars like Mashle, Delicious In Dungeon, Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier, and The Witch and The Beast. Podcasts of the week are of course Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Nextlander, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink. Tho being quite honest I think I’m gonna start cracking into my GOTY podcasr backlog so I’ll be getting oddly nostalgic for all the amazing games of last year. And of course y’all we wouldn’t ne some without a shoutout to my amazing friend at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams. Enjoy the eclipse tomorrow if any of y’all are near it. As always be good to each other. Stay safe. And have a awesome rest of the weekend and Happy Gaming.
I’m so excited for this. The second the preorders go live I’m preordering the Digital Collectors Edition. Didn’t do that one for Endwalker but now that I’m so deeply in love with XIV I not only wanna do this but I think it deserves it.
@AdamNovice personally speaking when the latest big Expansion was Endwalker I was able to start from literally quest 1 and disregarding like a month break I took from being annoyed by ARR and some seriously long nights of knocking out ends of expansions or patches (were talking I started at 10pm EST and was hopping off the PS5 sometimes as late as 5am.) I caught all the way up to Endwalker in said 8 months and like literally 3 days later Endwalker was out. So I think you can do it. You got this.
Well here we go with another WAYP. Been a busy week this week but I’ll lead with the big news of the week. Beat Granblue Fantasy Relink. Yeah there’s a post game it seems but seeing as credits rolled I’m gonna consider it finished for now. Weekend otherwise was filled with some Splatoon 3 for the Splatfest, Princess Peach Showtime which is a absolutely amazing game and I wanna do some Trails Into Reverie and crack into Dragons Dogma 2 for the rest of the weekend. Got two Amiibo coming in this weekend too: Young Link and Meta Knight. Really excited about them both and that leaves me with only 5 of the Smash Amiibo left to get. Kirby, Luigi, Pichu, King Dedede and Isabelle. As for the rest of the week well I do wanna stop at a GameStop with a whole record number of trades and get roughly $160 dollars out of them. That should cover a copy of Rise Of The Ronins, a preorder of FFXIV Dawntrail (JUNE 28TH BAYBEE), the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide in April and the new Guilty Gear Strive character A.B.A and the stage she comes with. Speaking of looking forward to a nice hangout on Wednesday with a good friend chatting and learning her. (Shoutout Ouji_Senpai.) Now if GameStop gives me like way more for my trades? Well I wouldn’t know what to do with myself hahaha but probably a preorder on Stellar Blade and maybe a Switch copy of Apollo Justice Trilogy Ace Attorney. But I’m keeping safe and humble on that you know how GameStop can be. As for the games I’m planning on tackling those are pretty simple. Some Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Splatoon 3 Side Order, Detective Pikachu Returns and maybe cracking into Penny’s Big Breakaway on Switch alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Trails and Peach and over on PS5 some FFVII Rebirth, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload and maybe cracking into Helldivers 2 finally alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Dragons Dogma 2 and Ronins. Anime of the week gotta go to Shangri La Frontier, Delusional Monthly Magazine, Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren. All absolutely excellent. Still trucking along on Shameless and that’s excellent too. Podcasts of the week of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Windbreaker, Firelink, Summon Sign and Nextlander. And of course another wonderful shoutout to my wonderful friend over at Twitch.tv/akibread for their absolutely amazing streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a absolutely wonderful weekend and Happy Gaming.
Oh boi oh boy it’s time for another incredible and amazing WAYP. Busy busy week of games as this week I not only beat all of FFXIV: Endwalker as far as MSQ is concerned meaning I’m all caught up for Dawntrail but also I beat Trails of Cold Steel IV YIPPEE. And not only that but because of super lucky set of game trades at GameStop I was able to purchase Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown, PGA Tour 23 Deluxe Edition, Helldivers 2 and I scored a preorder on Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes. Granted these were all on PS5 so I may need to make more time for that then switch but hey I got Princess Peach Showtime coming this week. And Hi-Fi Rush. And Dragon’s Dogma 2…… hahahahahaha. That’s not even beginning to mention the absolute mother-load of amiibos I got like Rosalina, Steve and Alex and Donkey Kong to name a few. I think another Amiibo photo shoot is in order. For the rest of the weekend I have some lovely plans so I don’t think I’ll get any gaming in outside of maybe a game of Mario Party Superstars or Nintendo Switch Sports. But going forward plans are mostly the games I’ve already listed plus getting into Trails Into Reverie, Another Code: Recollection, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Penny’s Big Breakaway, Unicorn Overlord and Splatoon 3 Side Order on Switch. Like I said it’s really PS5 where I got games on games to work through. Still got stuff like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.. Oh and I wanna work on that Eiyuden Chronicle Rising prequel thing. Got it a couple years back and never played it. As for anime of the week gotta keep it simple and just to the ones I watched before knocking out super early due to my new work position tiring me out ahahah. And those would just be Frieren and Delusional Monthly Magazine. Frieren is a all time great. As for Podcasts it’s the usuals. Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast and Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, Summon Sign and the Superb Remap Radio. As always a lovely shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their excellent soothing streams. Make sure to be good to one other another and stay safe y’all. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️. Have a good rest of your weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Hmmmmmmmm dream announcements at Summer Game Fest huh? I guess I would have to go with maybe the Dawntrail Release Date. FFIX Remake? All sorts of things really I’m not sure I’m just happy to watch.
Nah they can keep more Queens Blood. I know there’s no defined plans for DLC yet but if this was one of them just scrap it. It’s entirely not fun and a absolute pace killer in one of the early chapters. Worst part of the game honest.
Well another week another WAYP. Kinda busy week? Kinda neglected my switch this weekend due to work on Friday amd having plans on Saturday. So we’re gonna remedy that with some Unicorn Overlord today. Very extremely excited to play that as I always love a good Vanillaware game. Also gonna probably take a couple minutes before bed tonight and do the Dragons Dogma 2 Character Creator Demo thing so I can skip that part when the game comes out because yes I did get to pick up a digital copy of that this weekend too. Usually I skip demos because I like starting the game as is when it comes out but I don’t exactly enjoy character creators as much as other people so I don’t mind skipping that. As for games I plan to tackle the rest of the week well all that’s left on the Nintendo DLC train is the Splatoon DLC after I beat Pokémon this week so on switch I’m thinking some Splatoon 3, Cold Steel IV, Another Code, Mario Vs DK, Unicorn Overlord and Rain Code. And over on the PS5 a rotation of FFVII Rebirth, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, Granblue Fantasy Relink, and hopefully finishing off the last of FFXIV: Endwalker content. Maybe crack into some Foamstars too if I get some free time. Anime of the week is short and simple. Gotta give it to Frieren, Delusional Monthly Magazine, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura as always. Also of course continued special shout-out to a show I’m loving Shameless. Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Super Beast, Big Think Dimension, Remap Radio, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Windbreaker, Firelink, Press Start Turbo, Summon Sign, and Nextlander. As always a big huge lovely shoutout to my friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their lovely streams. And this week a personal and special thank you to Akira Toriyama and all he’s done may he Rest In Peace. As always stay lovely to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. Happy MAR10 Day. And Happy Gaming.
I personally think they’re full of it on this one as while I think they may have intended it with the original release I think they’re absolutely lying about just dropping it. As we’ve come to learn games nowadays take lots of money and lots of time so I don’t think they started work got a year in and dropped it and neither do I believe they only got to work either last year when people demanded the answer content or even just a couple weeks ago when Reload came out. I mean I’ll get it still but just don’t BS like this. Oh and don’t get me started on their treatment of the P3P content. Seriously don’t we’ll be here all day ahahaha.
I like how this article is worded a whole lot. But I gotta ask is this like a planned lore thing like this is how the story goes or is this a special weekend event? Kinda wanna get into this game but stuff like this confuses me.
So personally anyone involved in sexual harassment stuff like he is are scum so I can’t fault the company for that but in all honestly that just sounds annoying to be playing and seeing like 4K sweaty the rock and then they turn the camera and you just see BLUR
@McBurn I mean so do I but like 7 million ain’t bad. I mean shoot it means it’s slowly gaining on Persona. Perhaps one day it surpasses them. Wonder when or if they’ll ever have their P5 Moment.
Well shoot I did make a promise yesterday to beat this game before the end of the year now I guess it’s gotta be by September ahahaha. Kinda weird how they just revealed this out of nowhere even if it was at a Xbox event. Could we maybe see some of the P3P content? Truly make this the definitive edition of P3 to pick up.
Honestly a topic like this is slightly too heavy for me to give a genuine thoughtful answer on I mean I think one of the bigger issues facing the industry is also the insane M and As that have occurred over the last few years too. But honestly I just wanna praise the guy who wrote this article it’s really well done and really shows how loads of things like Russia and Ukraine have had cascading effects. Like I genuinely didn’t expect that one there. Good job for real.
Well here we are with another jam packed WAYP. Been a pretty quiet weekend. Skipped the switch mostly because of seeing Dune 2 on Friday and getting a nice solid start on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Saturday. Both absolutely beautiful and amazing works of art. Got a super duper early shift at my new store I’m working at on Monday so I think I’m gonna keep it light and chill on Sunday with just some Trails of Cold Steel IV. Finished up the Xenoblade 3 DLC: Future Redeemed this week and that was absolutely amazing as well. Leaves just the Pokémon DLC The Indigo Disk and the Splatoon 3 DLC Side Order to tackle tho with luck and help from a friend I should be able to wrap up all the Pokémon stuff tomorrow. Which means I’ll probably just focus on really trying to knock out Cold Steel IV while fitting in some time for Penny’s Big Breakaway and a copy of Unicorn Overload that I have coming in this week. Very extremely excited for that Vanillaware games are always a great time. Oh and trying to wrap up Rain Code too. Other than that mostly just a solid rotation of games on PS5 too like Tekken 8 and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Persona 3 Reload. And wrapping up Post Endwalker with the last patch 6.5 Growing Light. Anime of the week gotta go to Frieren and Mashle and High Card and Urusei Yatsura as always. Big special shout-out to Shameless again I’m absolutely addicted to that show. Podcasts of the week again gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink and RPGsites Tetracast. And as always a big shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread keeping dreams and hopes alive. If the weather is as nice where any of y’all are at as it is here make sure to get out and enjoy it it’s beautiful and feels like a summer day. Make sure to stay safe out there and have awesome weekend and as always Happy Gaming.
Well it’s been a busy busy WAYP for sure this time ahahahaha. This weekends been full of Splatoon 3, Side Order amd lovely FFXIV. Aiming to do some more Cold Steel IV today. Definitely gonna wanna take a small break between beating it and doing Reverie. Splatoon tho is excellent and I’m loving Side Order. Think I’m gonna be playing a good amount of Splatoon 3 this week as I wanna get to Level 15 in the Catalog before the Season ends on Thursday so I can get the Sherlock Holmes looking outifit. Also think maybe if I put that nose to the grindstone this week I can knock out the rest of the Post Endwalker Patch MSQs. That too has been a absolutely excellent little mini story. Tho this is the big week of course with FFVII Rebirth. Absolutely can’t wait. Gonna try to get some digital currency so I can also get a copy of Penny’s Big Breakaway for Switch and Hi-Fi Rush for PS5. Those were some absolutely hype announcements this week. Also as a aside thanks to a absolutely humbling gift from my stepdad I got like 10 amiibos this week. He gifted me Byleth and the rest of the Splatoon set I need and I also picked up on my own a Sora amd Terry amiibo. I got that fever again hahaha. But yeah basically the gaming plans this week are simple. Beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed, Get to Level 15 in Splatoon 3, and do more Side Order. Beat the Post Endwalker MSQ so I’m all set to focus on FFVII Rebirth AND I’m all set for Dawntrail this summer. And maybe dabble in some Octopath Traveler 2 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. Again absolutely excellent games. Anime of the week are simple. Again much love to Shangri La Frontier, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon, Frieren and Urusei Yatsura. Big shoutout this week to a show I’m absolutely addicted to the point of watching episodes in the middle of playing Like A Dragon and that’s Shameless or as I’m starting to think of it the FFXIV of TV Shows. Podcasts this week are simple of course, Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, RPGsites Tetracast and Summon Sign. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big love filled shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread. As always y’all keep safe, keep happy and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.
@get2sammyb honestly call me crazy but I think From should buy the IP out from under them like they did with Elden Ring. I feel we could see so much more that way.
Alrighty here we go with a jam packed edition of WAYP of this weekend. Where do I start ahaha. Started off the weekend with Mario Vs Donkey Kong and lemme tell you something that game is excellent. It’s beautiful, it’s fun and it brings me back to the old days when games were just games. Then I did some Splatoon 3 Splatfest yesterday and had some fun on new maps I’ve never played before. Team Friday Baby. Really looking forward to Side Order coming out so I can really enjoy Splatoon 3 again by sprinkling some multiplayer in beside the story mode progress like I did when the game first came out. It’s just a good combo of mindless fun and genuine progress. But I didn’t get too much time to Splat it up because last night I did something even better. I went out and had a awesome time with a awesome friend. Picked up a copy of Persona 3 Reload that I can’t wait to crack into and also grabbed the latest Chainsaw Man and JOJO Part 6 mangas as well as Encyclopedia Eorzeas 1 and 3 to complete the set. My friend I should mention also picked up some pretty damn preem books themselves if I do say so myself. But then we went to our main plans of the night and saw Madame Web. Small funny story of me looking at my phone during the previews and them nudging me saying look at the screen whereupon I fangirl out that Advent Bloody Children is on the screen. But as for the movie itself it was a good nice time that was a decent movie overall. Enjoyable at some parts and dull at others it’s not nearly bad as it was made out to be and I would say a enjoyable 7/10 or even 8/10. But of course while that was the highlight of the weekend I didn’t even mention that update from last week I finally did it. I finished the MSQ for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. All I gotta say is it was absolutely beautiful As for today and the week ahead it’s gonna be some more Cold Steel IV and trying out P3R and over the week just a general rotation of games. Some Granblue Fantasy Relink, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Post Endwalker Patch Quests, Another Code, Rain Code, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and of course the Side Order for Splatoon 3 when that comes out on Thursday too. It’s mostly just a holding pattern if you ask me this week as I feel we’ll get a shadow drop of Hi Fi Rush at a partner showcase this week so I got some Eshop money saved for that and of course the Most Anticipated Game of the Year Final Fantasy VII Rebirth just the week after this. And man I really can’t wait for Princess Peach Showtime ahahah.Of course anime of the week gotta go to Frieren, Delicious in Dungeon, Urusei Yatsura, High Card and Hokkaido Gals. Podcasts of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, and Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind. I’ve actually run into some issues with my job so this week I don’t have as many podcasts to say I listened to because really I didn’t listen to much. Of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big special shout-out to someone very much SPECIALZ my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Gonna be honest they streamed some NMH this week and I’m just saying if y’all want a fun time I think I might be friends with IRL Shinobu from NMH? I don’t know if that don’t get you to check them out I don’t know what will. As always y’all keep safe, be good to each other and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Well this week is a pretty proud WAYP. Because yes as stated in last weeks entry I did play the majority of the week Trails of Cold Steel IV and feel properly stuck in. And not only made good progress I feel but more importantly to me on a personal level I finally did it. After avoiding it for 2+ years I finally went back to FFXIV and conquered the quest I seemingly couldn’t overcome. I hope my Ma is looking down and smiling. As for this week tho oh boy well we got the Super Bowl today and since that means the end of Trails Football Sunday’s as I call them I think I’ll tackle some Cold Steel IV today as well but I definitely wanna dabble in some other Nintendo games this week like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and Another Code Recollection. Otherwise in terms of Nintendo games I’m looking forward to Mario Vs Donkey Kong at the end of the week but otherwise my main goal is rotating the games previously mentioned and some more Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Granblue Fantasy Relink and also my goal of the week which is gonna be to see if I can wrap all of the base Endwalker MSQ in FFXIV by next weekend. Which is to say the stuff that came out when Endwalker launched back in 2021 not any of the post Endwalker patches. Anime of the week of course gotta go to the usual beauties like Urusei Yatsura, Mashle, Solo Leveling, Undead Unluck, Shangri La Frontier, and High Card. All absolutely amazing. And of course Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Windbreaker, Firelink, Sacred Symbols, Summon Sign, Minnmax and Nextlander. Of course we always gotta give the love and shoutout to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread who was a major motivator and help in me overcoming Endwalker. As always y’all have a excellent rest of your weekend and Happy Gaming.
This may be a pretty simple WAYP this week ahahaha. Mainly being that on the Switch I’m really only planning on one game for the foreseeable future and that’s Trails Of Cold Steel IV. I dropped off it about 3 years ago and I was really dragging my feet on going back to it but I did so last night and it wasn’t as bad as I felt it would be so I think similarly to how I did Trails To Azure last year ima just hunker down and slam it out this month and maybe next month. Then I can enjoy Reverie and hopefully have both done by the time Daybreak comes out and hey then I can maybe have a trails game on my GOTY list for once hahaha. Tho seeing as how my day off is slightly changed this week I think I’ll finally maybe go back to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed. Over on the PS5 it’ll be a simple rotation of the new darlings really. Tekken 8, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Granblue Fantasy Relink. All absolutely excellent and beautiful games. Of course I have plans to snag a copy of Persona 3 Reload this month at some point but this all leads up to the end of the week when Saturday the 10th I head back to Endwalker in Final Fantasy XIV thanks to my dear best friend helping me out with a month of subscription paid for after the website just refused to let me. So yeah I would mainly say that’s the two big focuses of the week. Carving out a crap ton of Cold Steel IV and Endwalker hahaha. As for anime of the week the strong shoutouts continue with The Witch and The Beast, Mashle, Urusei Yatsura and of course my absolutely strong Sunday lineup of Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier and Undead Unluck. As for the podcasts of the week well you know it’s the usual. Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into The Aether, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Sacred Symbols and Summon Sign from Last Stand Media, Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind and Nextlander. All seriously excellent. As always gotta give a shout-out to a lovely friend as always to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams as always. And take care of yourselves folks, be excellent to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. And happy gaming.
Hmmmmmm alright here we go with another WAYP. Been a busy week in many many MANY ways. I would easily say that most of the week I feel you could best sum me up by a WWII solider covered in ash and soot and all that smoking a cigarette with the thousand yard stare. But enough of heavy stuff we here for gaming everyone. And boi do we have some gaming to do. Had a excellent first night with Tekken 8 last night that game is everything I wanted it to be and more it’s so much fun and I just couldn’t believe I’m playing it. Tonight I’m gonna do some more Another Code: Recollection as I really enjoyed starting it on my day off and then after that I’m gonna start Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Apparently the first couple hours are like nothing but cutscenes but they play like a J drama so hey I’m here for it. Can’t wait until we get to Hawaii the first time. Also ended up buying Under Night In Birth II Sys:Celes and the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass now that we have a date for Side:Order so I’ll be playing UNI2 on my day off this week and thanks to Splatoon I’m now motivated to tackle the remaining Expansions for my other Nintendo published games. I’ve done all of Fire Emblem Engage so that just leaves Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed and Pokemon Scarlet The Teal Mask. That’s my long term like do it before the end of the year goal. And of course the Splatoon 3 one when it comes out too. Also got a digital copy of Granblue Fantasy Relink downloaded and ready to go so Wednesday might be a double whammy of new games on my day off of UNI2 and Granblue. And of course as we head into February my two hype titles of the month are coming that being Mario VS Donkey Kong and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Not my two most hype titles of the year so far that would be Rebirth and Princess Peach Showtime. Feels good to feel good with all these new games. On the anime front you already know having watched all the winter shows I have some really good picks. Urusei Yatsura, Shangri La Frontier, Frieren, High Card, A Sign Of Affection, Solo Leveling, Mashle and many more but those are just the stand outs and just absolutely excellent. Podcasts of the week are the usual: Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Nextlander, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Sacred Symbols and Summon Sign from Last Stand Media, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast and Windbreaker and Firelink from the lovely fellas over at Second Wind. And of course a weekly WAYP ain’t complete without a shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Excellent stoner catgirl with excellent choices in games like infinite wealth and in wrestlers. As always yall be good to each other and stay safe and have fun. Have a great weekend. And Happy Gaming.
@LiamCroft are you allowed to say what level that last chapter needed you to be? The one you say they don’t give a recommendation for? Would love to know what level to aim for by endgame.
When are militaries gonna realize that even if this sort of stuff was allowed the people they recruit are probably gonna suck or give up easy. Or won’t take it serious because they think they’ll just respawn next round?
Alrighty another week and another WAYP. Here we go ehehehe. This weekends been kinda decent I guess. Some Octopath 2 and some Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising as well as some Rain Code. I mean that was my pick for this weekends poll. It’s finally clicking and I hope I’m not just saying that because I’m on Chapter 4 of 6 I’m thinking. My copy of Another Code has come in so I’m happy as heck about that. Also got the Noah and Mio amiibo alongside some ESHOP money so I think I’m gonna get Under Night In Birth 2 Sys: Celes and probably the Rain Code DLC. Big week this week tho we got Tekken 8 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth at the end of the week two games I’m super hyped for. Then the good times just keep rolling really ehehe. Think I’m gonna try fitting in a play through of FFVII Remake Intergrade before Rebirth. Specifically the Intermission with Yuffie. Otherwise while I wait for the big releases at the end of the week it’s business as usual. Some Assassins Creed, some Octopath maybe and even some Golden Sun I really liked what I played. Anime of the week gotta go to the new stand outs of winter like Mashle, Sign Of Affection, Witch and the Beast, Solo Leveling and a lot more. All excellent so far. As for podcasts I’m also in GOTY collection mode still so ya know outside of Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension it’s collection duty for stuff like Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander, Remap Radio and of course Windbreaker and Firelink from the great guys of Second Wind. Of course we gotta give a big lovely shoutout to my friend again at twitch.tv/akibread. With these new releases coming I think I’m finally feeling those early January blues going away. It’s a good time to like games friends so as always have a great weekend, be safe and Happy Gaming.
Alright here we go another week another WAYP. Been a relatively quiet week. Tried Dave The Diver. Absolutely love it think that’ll be how I spend my weekend after work today. Terrific lovely little game. Did some Splatoon Splatfest yesterday too. Always love dipping into it for a little bit of fun. Can’t wait for that Side: Order DLC. Other then that I’ve been really going hard on Granblue in every form. Watching Relink Footage, playing some Versus Rising story mode and some matches with friends. Y’all ain’t ready for Lucillius in either game and just the force that is PARADISE LOST. Fate/Samurai Remnant, Assassins Creed they all continue to be nice. I think I might wanna check out and get that Prince Of Persia game too. Honestly I’m really just waiting on two games now. Another Code at the end of the week and Golden Sun on Wednesday. Golden Sun I’m really excited for because I’ve never played it before. Again it really do just be those January vibes where all you feeling is just…… meh. Anime of the week I finally get to shoutout the first of the winter anime as I’m checking some out today and tomorrow so shoutout to Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier, Undead Unluck, High Card and Sasaki And Peeps. Will let y’all know how those go next week. Podcasts of the week of course are the usual. Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Minnmax, Remap, Windbreaker, Firelink, Nextlander, RPGsites Tetracast and Into The Aether. As always I’ll ask to show some love to my friend over at Twitch.tv/akibread. Otherwise hey let’s hope that with stuff like Xbox’s Developer Direct this week we start getting a bit more hype with the weeks going forward. Have a awesome weekend everyone and happy gaming.
Alrighty first WAYP of the year and it feels nice hahaha. But as for my weekend of gaming honestly it’s kinda a quiet one I went hard on some Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising yesterday and I’m loving that game so much. Loads of fun. As for today tho I’m thinking of tackling some Persona 5 Tactica and getting that first boss finally defeated. Lovely game really it’s just so slow. And after that maybe some more Fate Samurai Remnant or even some Baldurs Gate 3? I dunno until new games come out or until I tackle FFXIV Endwalker (currently scheduled for FEB 11.) I feel I’m just gonna go on like a 3 or 4 game rotation on Switch and PS5. Those games being Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince, Persona 5 Tactica, Star Ocean The Second Story R and Rain Code on Switch. And Fate Samurai/Remnant, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, Baldurs Gate 3 and Assassins Creed Mirage on PS5. Oh and I wanna try out Dave The Diver on my day off this week so there’s that. Honestly this is that time of year where it really is just playing stuff you didn’t beat last year while waiting for the first big releases of this year. I even feel that way when it comes to the anime of the week this week. I finished some like 100 girlfriends that I really enjoyed but in terms of new stuff? Nothing is really out so far ima just shill for the continuing Mashle, Frieren and Shangri La Frontier. As for the podcasts of the week ya know it’s the usual: Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Minnmax, Into The Aether, Nextlander, RPGsites Tetracast, Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind and of course Remap Radio. Of course just because it’s a new year doesn’t mean we leave the homies behind ya know I gotta still give love to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Otherwise yeah hopefully the rest of y’all are enjoying a nice relaxing January and let’s get hype for the big releases like Another Code, Tekken 8 and more. Have a good weekend yall and Happy Gaming.
So I hope I don’t come off like a screaming lunatic but honestly I wanna make a comment on the question at the end of the article. Do I forgive and forget? Yeah I do. It’s called they released a good game poorly 4 years ago and have worked hard ever since. I guess it’s like I kinda hate this mindset on most articles I see about these guys which is like what do you expect me to hold a grudge for the rest of my life with these dudes?
Wow a year ago I wasn’t even really on this site and now a year later here I am participating in the last WAYP of the year. Well I’m happy to do it. Been a good week of getting games even if we haven’t beat very many of them hahaha. Between Christmas and other things I picked up copies of Assassins Creed Mirage, Fate/Samurai Remnant, Armored Core VI Flames of Rubicon, Dave the Diver (finally), and the big game, my first game on switch of 2024 and the game I picked for the poll Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince. It’s that last game I think I’ll focus on in the new year too. My December/early January game. It won’t technically be my first game of the year that’ll be Fate Samurai/Remnant. The Type Moon guys take New Years seriously so will I. But of course that’s the holiday what about this weekend? Well this weekend didn’t have much gaming outside of some Armored Core but that’s because I was doing something personally much more important. I had a excellent time with a amazing friend at a local mall. And honestly like most times with them it was simply amazing. The gifts they got me I’ll treasure and love for a long long long time. Maybe forever but that’s too big for me to think hahahah. Agent Gap is now a member of Operation Strix. They’ll see this so they’ll get the reference hehehe. I’ve said it before to yall but there really are some things more important than gaming. As for the rest of the weekend and week ahead ima focus on getting my Top 10 Lists in order and really just minding my business and working until the first big releases of 2024. For me those will be Another Code Recollection and Tekken 8. As for anime of the week it was a lot of finales and honestly all the finales I watched stuck the landing. My Inexperienced Love Story, Girlfriend, Girlfriend, Frieren, Spy X Family, 16 Bit Sensation, Eminence in Shadow, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Add in Ron Kaminohashi which I’m trying to finish today and you probably have my fall picks when it comes to anime. As for podcasts of course we’re full of GOTY Installments from all of them which makes me really happy I love those sorts of episodes. So you know the usual: Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Nextlander, Fire Escape, RPGsites Tetracast, Weapon Wheel and of course my two newcomers Windbreaker and Firelink from the Second Wind Media guys. Also of course a big shoutout to my stoner retro catgirl friend at twitch.tv/akibread. Here’s hoping through these small shoutouts we can make 2024 their year. Overall yall it’s been a great year with everyone on this site from contributors to fellows commenters. It’s been one of the greatest years in gaming with one of the strongest start to the next year that I think I have ever seen. To my buddies who read this every week like my buddy Gaddy, Agent Gap, Az, Spence, Sib and so so so many more that I could write a entire article about thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart. And I look forward to a terrrifc, happy and healthy new year with all of you and all of you commenters and contributors. As always have a excellent, happy, safe and healthy weekend and Happy Gaming. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Well we got ourselves a very festive week eh hehehehe. As for the week well I wrapped up Super Mario RPG this week and snagged this little PlayStation Indie called Eternights so kinda fun on that front. And currently the plan is to try to beat FFXVI tonight after my work shift. With that and some anime catch-up this week it’ll then be to task making all my Top 10 Lists of the year to share with friends. Of course we can’t forget the big day and yes like anyway else even I can’t resist the mood even with some extenuating circumstances. Personally for most of the holiday I’ll be in good old NYC with family. Excited for next week to share the gifts with all of y’all. Otherwise I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda feeling like most people where it’s like eh I don’t really feel like much games seeing as I either beat them or know i won’t be beating them by the end of the year. I guess the games this week will be things like Baldurs Gate 3, Like A Dragon Gaiden so I’m prepared for Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Sea of Stars, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising on the PS5 and games like Star Ocean 2, Persona 5 Tactica, Pokémon Scarlet The Indigo Disk and Trails Into Reverie on switch. Still looking at Dave The Diver. Who knows maybe a mystery benefactor will feel like spreading holiday cheer? 🥺 hehehehe. In anime this week yet another terrific performance by Jujutsu Kaisen, Eminence In Shadow, SHY, Frieren and Spy X Family. Definitely looking at some top 10 candidates there. In podcasts this week it’s GOTY Season so I’m loving the meaty length episodes I’m getting from stuff like Fire Escape, Minnmax, RPGsites Tetracast, Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, Nextlander and Remap Radio. Of course I always save the best for last and yeah I’m thinking the newest consistent addition to this is gonna be shouting out my awesome retro stoner catgirl friend at twitch.tv/akibread. This holiday season getting to give them hopefully even the smallest boost of support is one of the greatest gifts I can get please y’all go give some love and support if you can. As of writing this journal tonight they’re streaming Fatal Frame 4 if you want some spooky while you’re warm and cozy. As always y’all stay beautiful stay kind stay safe and have a terrific weekend. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays and Hqppy Gaming.
Alrighty bit of a interesting week this week. To start with of course this weekend was full of Indigo Disk and man is it one heck of a time so far. Definitely a toughie of a DLC but won’t lie I’m liking it more then The Teal Mask so far. Also got to have some excellent matches in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising with a friend and that is just a absolutely excellent fighting game. (shoutout Ouji_Senpai.) Gotta say think my main is gonna be Vira or Yuel. As for tonight and tomorrow actually I’m thinking of skimping on switch gaming I definitely wanna do some Super Mario RPG like I voted on but tonight I’m going to see The Boy and The Heron with my best friend and I’m really excited for that and then thinking afterwards will just be some low key Like A Dragon Gaiden time I ain’t played it in like two weeks. IM FINALLY FREE OF MORNING SHIFTS. Except for Wednesday but that’s it. So I look forward to wrapping up Alan Wake II this week as that game has just turned absolutely stellar. And otherwise I really just wanna zone in hard on some FFXVI. Would really like to beat it by Christmas and I’m 88% of the way there so here’s hoping I can do it. Otherwise most of the week is gonna just be some minor switch games like Star Ocean 2 and Persona 5 Tactica and some minor PS5 games like some more matches and story mode of Granblue. Honestly now it’s about time to start writing up the top 10 lists for the year. Very excited to share those. As for anime of the week again it’s the excellent quartet of Eminence in Shadow, Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren and Spy X Family. Getting close to the end of the season and the end of a lot of those shows so here’s hoping for excellent finishes for a lot of them. Podcasts of the week of course are Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander and Friends Per Second. Without saying why I can now comfortably stamp that one with approval for the foreseeable future. Also for anyone who saw last weeks journal where I shouted out a special friend and their redebut stream that stream was absolutely stellar and I just wanna shout them out again so y’all can still go give them love on the daily. That would be my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. As always y’all have a excellent weekend and Happy Gaming.
Well this has been one heck of a week I’ll tell ya what. Thinking this is gonna be a big entry this week in more ways then one. Well to start with similar to Jim I have also been on a video game wrap up spree. In the past week I beat Warioware Move It, Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4 and The Teal Mask DLC. Not to mention as a preview of the upcoming gaming plans I got close to the end of Alan Wake II and Final Fantasy XVI. So this week I’m thinking of taking a break from the switch. I did play some Super Mario RPG on Friday and am probably closing in on the end of that game too but I’m thinking of devoting more time to the PS5 this week. Work on beating my top two GOTYs, Alan Wake II and FFXVI and definitely try out some new games I got this week like Assassins Creed Mirage and a special game I’ll mention later. Tho I am thinking of tackling the Sonic Frontiers DLC today since they apparently patched it to make it easier. Oh i also do wanna give the Indigo Disk DLC that comes out this week for Scarlet and Violet a look too. I definitely wanna be able to put together my GOTY list, my movies list and my animes list by Christmas. Also no lie not picky on the platform but I definitely wanna look at getting a copy of Dave the Diver. I went from not really caring about it to thinking it’s kinda cool and I wanna play. But oh man the big news of the week sure we’re those game awards huh? I won’t blab on and on but I would say it was a A- this year seriously some great things there. For me personally I loved the FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth Trailers, the Blade Trailer, SEGA IS BACK, the Alan Wake performance and of course number bloody one the ELPHELT VALENTINE TRAILER MY BABY IS BACK. Of course there were some out now trailers there and that leads to the pickups of the week with that special game I mentioned. I of course grabbed the FFXVI Echoes of the Fallen DLC and my babygirl Elphelt but I also snagged the Deluxe Edition of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Won’t have to think about buying DLC for that game for a while yessir. Excited for that game and it’s early access starting tomorrow. Of course anime of the week gotta go to Jujutsu Kaisen and Eminence in Shadow for continuing to just absolutely kill it. Podcasts of course are same as usual Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Remap Radio, RPGsites Tetracast, Nextlander and Into The Aether. But with the Jirard the Completionist accusations cleared in his innocence I can now also go back to shouting out Friends Per Second again. Speaking of shoutouts last but absolutely certainly not least I wanna give a big and special shout-out to a friend of mine. Anyone reading this who sees this before December 14th please please go to twitch.tv/akibread my friend is having a 12 hour redebut stream please go show them some love. As always y’all have a excellent week, best of luck with y’all own GOTY lists and Happy Gaming.
Personally I can get why people aren’t happy with this lineup I really do but considering I’ve been wanting to play Lego 2K Drive for a while but never saw a good price for it that alone has me a little happy.
Well here we go with another week of WAYP. Been one crazy week this week. Update from last week I beat Sonic Superstsrs but not just that game tho we’ll get to that later. This weekend I not only saw the new Nicholas Cage movie Dream Scenario and the new Godzilla movie Godzilla Minus One but I also beat Spider-Man 2 as well. All three were superb in different ways and a great time all around. Got some nifty new joycons this week too. The Pastel Purple and Green they’re very pretty. Unfortunately this week is nothing but early morning work shifts for me like back in the summer so truthfully the only PS5 game I can say is gonna get a lot of love from me is gonna be Alan Wake II most likely on my day off. Think I’m gonna try to snag a preorder of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising this week too. The shiny Deluxe edition so I can nab the season pass with it. With the Game Awards coming up I’ll probably check that out with friends and vote on it like today I’m thinking. Also for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking of abandoning my plans to 100% all of Super Mario Wonder for now and probably just try to beat it tonight. With luck I can say that about a lot of games this week. Pikmin 4, Pokémon Scarlet The Teal Mask so on and so forth. Excited for those Game Awards tho definitely. As for anime of the week I won’t lie I slacked a little this week so I’m only going to give credit to Spy X Family and Shangri La Frontier this week. Podcasts this week of course gotta be Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, Remap Radio, RPGsite Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander and Weapon Wheel. As always yall hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy gaming.
Hang on a second, what does custom mean. Does that mean I can play on like easy easy mode and change settings so like my character is a absolute monster beast that makes combat a breeze?
Man the second guy was lame as hell but y’all can’t deny the from soft kid wasn’t funny as hell. It was like a flash bang grenade going off, everyone was just like what? Reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton?

Re: Latest Sony Patent Wants to Take the Grind Out of Games by Playing Them For You
I would absolutely love this but only like for traditional turn based RPGs like say the new Eiyuden Chronicle. The easiest way I drop games like that is I’m underleveled I don’t wanna grind and I just go nah I’m done. Hell if this was real I probably would have beaten Eiyuden Chronicle Rising hahaha.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 525
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Gonna be a real busy one this week with everything that’s occurred and everything upcoming this week. Who told the last week of April to be so packed????? Anywho here we go with a packed week of some Dragons Dogma 2 and the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide as well as some more Princess Peach Showtime and AI: The Somnium Files. AI in particular is just absolutely excellent. Also snagged a bunch of good sales this week like Suicide Squad and Hollow Knight. Even some preorders like Endless Ocean: Luminous and Little Kitty Big City. Even snagged WWE 2K23 for cheap to get some wrestling love going. We love Rhea Ripley. As for this weekend I dabbled in some of the Splatoon 3 Springfest and some WWE 2K23 and the rest of the weekend I’m thinking some Trails Into Reverie and some Persona 3 Reload. Loving both of those games too they’re really exciting RPGs. As for the week ahead oh boi we got a busy one we talking Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes, Tales of Kenzaura: Zau, Saga Emerald Beyond, the Fallout 4 PS5 upgrade, the Knuckles show, the full Persona 3 Reload OST on Spotify, and the crown jewel of the week Stellar Blade. To say I’m excited is a bit of a understatement because I am positively hype. Of course I’ll be working with all those games on Switch and PS5 and others already listed like Suicide Squad but I’ve of course still got other ones I’m looking to put more time into as well like Pepper Grinder, Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, FFVII Rebirth and probably many more I’m already forgetting hahaha. Anime this week are gonna be a shout-out to the standouts of the Winter season before next week we pick out our Spring ones. Those of course being Witch and the Beast, High Card, Metallic Rouge, Shangri-La Frontier, Undead Unluck, Delicious in Dungeon, and my GOAT URUSEI YATSURA. Also might get to go on a ooting this week and get to see the new Spy X Family: Code White Movie. Also in terms of shows I’m gonna try to focus on Twisted Metal and FALLOUT and of course Knuckles. As for podcasts of the week I gotta give it to my usual favorites like Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Windbreak and Firelink and just like the games probably so many more that I’ve forgotten. With how my jobs getting with morning shifts I’m getting to cash in on those GOTY podcasts. Don’t think I mentioned this here but I also completed the full smash bros set of amiibos a week or two ago. Extremity proud of it. And of course we gotta give a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their stupendous stunning streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a great rest of the weekend and week, And Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 524
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Pretty decent week this week as I got to beat Hi-Fi Rush, try out Eddy Gordo and dabble in Helldivers 2 and Penny’s Big Breakaway. All absolutely excellent tho I would say my favorite of that was Hi-FI Rush. The final boss fight with Kale is just a work of art. Also picked up a copy of Pepper Grinder and preordered Saga Emerald Beyond. Also secured the money in the bank for the FFXVI DLC coming out this week The Rising Tide. And I would say the most important and interesting part of this week if you couldn’t tell by my little reference there is I would now say I’ve gotten into professional wrestling. Yep I saw Wrestlemania last weekend and it just clicked for me finally and I just love it. Like most things with “sides” I would say like marvel or dc I’ve firmly decided on WWE over AEW. As for games this weekend aside from hifi rush and penny like I said I’m thinking of finishing off the weekend with some Trails Into Reverie and Persona 3 Reload. Other than that I got some real early shifts this week so I’m thinking of looking on the bright side with that one and using it to work on some more Unicorn Overlord. Other then that the switch plans are simple: Princess Peach Showtime, Another Code, AI The Somnium Files and the games I’ve listed before. And on the PS5 I’m thinking of dabbling in some FFXVI before the DLC as well as other games like Dragons Dogma 2 and FFVII Rebirth as well as the other games I’ve listed before too. Anime of the week have to go to such excellent shows like Mashle, Solo Leveling, High Card, Shangri-La Frontier, Delicious in Dungeon and Witch and the Beast. Tho I won’t lie my main focus I feel this month in terms of shows is gonna be on Game Adaptations. I wanna watch Twisted Metal and Fallout before the Knuckles show comes out and I think they all will make a excellent trio of shows. As for podcasts of the week you know it’s the usual beauties like Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, WIndbreaker and Firelink, Nextlander, Minnmax, Remap Radio and this week special newcomer Easy Allies podcast. All seriously awesome and excellent listens. Of course we gotta give a special amd lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their absolutely excellent streams. As always be good to each other. Stay safe and have a great rest of the weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Bungie Might Be Making Destiny 3, Its Fanbase Speculates
If they made a destiny 3 and it was a clean start to the story you could jump on like FFXIV Dawntrail I’d get it day 1
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 523
Alrighty here we go with another edition of WAYP. Pretty simple this week. Big things of the past week would have to be seeing everything John Wick related, the movie Monkey Man and beating both Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown and Rain Code. All of it was simply amazing really. All simply superb. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking of just keeping it simple and doing Trails Into Reverie on switch with some of the womens basketball finals on and either Eiyuden Chronicle Rising or Hi-Fi Rush on PS5. Did the Stellar Blade demo and I locked that preorder in it’s absolutely amazing. As for the rest of the week I think I’ll keep it simple. Talking the Saga Emerald Beyond Demo on switch and Princess Peach Showtime and Another Code and Unicorn Overlord and I’m thinking AI: The Somnium Files will take the place of Rain Code now as there’s rumors they’re about to announce a third one. If they do I really wanna have both of the other games done before then. And hopefully finally start Penny’s Big Breakaway too. Over on PS5 if I can actually start Eiyuden Chronicle Rising that’s definitely the main focus of the week with a little Hi-Fi Rush, Persona 3 Reload, FFVII Rebirth, Tekken 8 to try Eddy Gordo out, Dragons Dogma 2 and hopefully finally start Helldivers 2 as well. As for anime of the week we’re finally really back at it with some absolutely excellent stars like Mashle, Delicious In Dungeon, Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier, and The Witch and The Beast. Podcasts of the week are of course Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Nextlander, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink. Tho being quite honest I think I’m gonna start cracking into my GOTY podcasr backlog so I’ll be getting oddly nostalgic for all the amazing games of last year. And of course y’all we wouldn’t ne some without a shoutout to my amazing friend at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams. Enjoy the eclipse tomorrow if any of y’all are near it. As always be good to each other. Stay safe. And have a awesome rest of the weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Nothing Stops the Final Fantasy Train! FF14: Dawntrail Deploys 2nd July on PS5, PS4
I’m so excited for this. The second the preorders go live I’m preordering the Digital Collectors Edition. Didn’t do that one for Endwalker but now that I’m so deeply in love with XIV I not only wanna do this but I think it deserves it.
Re: Nothing Stops the Final Fantasy Train! FF14: Dawntrail Deploys 2nd July on PS5, PS4
@AdamNovice personally speaking when the latest big Expansion was Endwalker I was able to start from literally quest 1 and disregarding like a month break I took from being annoyed by ARR and some seriously long nights of knocking out ends of expansions or patches (were talking I started at 10pm EST and was hopping off the PS5 sometimes as late as 5am.) I caught all the way up to Endwalker in said 8 months and like literally 3 days later Endwalker was out. So I think you can do it. You got this.
Re: Guilty Gear Strive Is Getting a Fourth Season, Teases Slayer as Next DLC Character

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 521
Well here we go with another WAYP. Been a busy week this week but I’ll lead with the big news of the week. Beat Granblue Fantasy Relink. Yeah there’s a post game it seems but seeing as credits rolled I’m gonna consider it finished for now. Weekend otherwise was filled with some Splatoon 3 for the Splatfest, Princess Peach Showtime which is a absolutely amazing game and I wanna do some Trails Into Reverie and crack into Dragons Dogma 2 for the rest of the weekend. Got two Amiibo coming in this weekend too: Young Link and Meta Knight. Really excited about them both and that leaves me with only 5 of the Smash Amiibo left to get. Kirby, Luigi, Pichu, King Dedede and Isabelle. As for the rest of the week well I do wanna stop at a GameStop with a whole record number of trades and get roughly $160 dollars out of them. That should cover a copy of Rise Of The Ronins, a preorder of FFXIV Dawntrail (JUNE 28TH BAYBEE), the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide in April and the new Guilty Gear Strive character A.B.A and the stage she comes with. Speaking of looking forward to a nice hangout on Wednesday with a good friend chatting and learning her. (Shoutout Ouji_Senpai.) Now if GameStop gives me like way more for my trades? Well I wouldn’t know what to do with myself hahaha but probably a preorder on Stellar Blade and maybe a Switch copy of Apollo Justice Trilogy Ace Attorney. But I’m keeping safe and humble on that you know how GameStop can be. As for the games I’m planning on tackling those are pretty simple. Some Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Splatoon 3 Side Order, Detective Pikachu Returns and maybe cracking into Penny’s Big Breakaway on Switch alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Trails and Peach and over on PS5 some FFVII Rebirth, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload and maybe cracking into Helldivers 2 finally alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Dragons Dogma 2 and Ronins. Anime of the week gotta go to Shangri La Frontier, Delusional Monthly Magazine, Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren. All absolutely excellent. Still trucking along on Shameless and that’s excellent too. Podcasts of the week of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Windbreaker, Firelink, Summon Sign and Nextlander. And of course another wonderful shoutout to my wonderful friend over at Twitch.tv/akibread for their absolutely amazing streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a absolutely wonderful weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 520
Oh boi oh boy it’s time for another incredible and amazing WAYP. Busy busy week of games as this week I not only beat all of FFXIV: Endwalker as far as MSQ is concerned meaning I’m all caught up for Dawntrail but also I beat Trails of Cold Steel IV YIPPEE. And not only that but because of super lucky set of game trades at GameStop I was able to purchase Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown, PGA Tour 23 Deluxe Edition, Helldivers 2 and I scored a preorder on Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes. Granted these were all on PS5 so I may need to make more time for that then switch but hey I got Princess Peach Showtime coming this week. And Hi-Fi Rush. And Dragon’s Dogma 2…… hahahahahaha. That’s not even beginning to mention the absolute mother-load of amiibos I got like Rosalina, Steve and Alex and Donkey Kong to name a few. I think another Amiibo photo shoot is in order. For the rest of the weekend I have some lovely plans so I don’t think I’ll get any gaming in outside of maybe a game of Mario Party Superstars or Nintendo Switch Sports. But going forward plans are mostly the games I’ve already listed plus getting into Trails Into Reverie, Another Code: Recollection, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Penny’s Big Breakaway, Unicorn Overlord and Splatoon 3 Side Order on Switch. Like I said it’s really PS5 where I got games on games to work through. Still got stuff like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.. Oh and I wanna work on that Eiyuden Chronicle Rising prequel thing. Got it a couple years back and never played it. As for anime of the week gotta keep it simple and just to the ones I watched before knocking out super early due to my new work position tiring me out ahahah. And those would just be Frieren and Delusional Monthly Magazine. Frieren is a all time great. As for Podcasts it’s the usuals. Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast and Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, Summon Sign and the Superb Remap Radio. As always a lovely shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their excellent soothing streams. Make sure to be good to one other another and stay safe y’all. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️. Have a good rest of your weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Re: E3's Spirit Lives on with Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest on 7th June
Hmmmmmmmm dream announcements at Summer Game Fest huh? I guess I would have to go with maybe the Dawntrail Release Date. FFIX Remake? All sorts of things really I’m not sure I’m just happy to watch.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Acclaimed CCG Queen's Blood Could Get Expanded
Nah they can keep more Queens Blood. I know there’s no defined plans for DLC yet but if this was one of them just scrap it. It’s entirely not fun and a absolute pace killer in one of the early chapters. Worst part of the game honest.

I absolutely can’t wait for this game Ive been wanting to play it since it came out on Xbox. This and Dragons Dogma 2 gonna make a good week ahahah
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 519
Well another week another WAYP. Kinda busy week? Kinda neglected my switch this weekend due to work on Friday amd having plans on Saturday. So we’re gonna remedy that with some Unicorn Overlord today. Very extremely excited to play that as I always love a good Vanillaware game. Also gonna probably take a couple minutes before bed tonight and do the Dragons Dogma 2 Character Creator Demo thing so I can skip that part when the game comes out because yes I did get to pick up a digital copy of that this weekend too. Usually I skip demos because I like starting the game as is when it comes out but I don’t exactly enjoy character creators as much as other people so I don’t mind skipping that. As for games I plan to tackle the rest of the week well all that’s left on the Nintendo DLC train is the Splatoon DLC after I beat Pokémon this week so on switch I’m thinking some Splatoon 3, Cold Steel IV, Another Code, Mario Vs DK, Unicorn Overlord and Rain Code. And over on the PS5 a rotation of FFVII Rebirth, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, Granblue Fantasy Relink, and hopefully finishing off the last of FFXIV: Endwalker content. Maybe crack into some Foamstars too if I get some free time. Anime of the week is short and simple. Gotta give it to Frieren, Delusional Monthly Magazine, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura as always. Also of course continued special shout-out to a show I’m loving Shameless. Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Super Beast, Big Think Dimension, Remap Radio, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Windbreaker, Firelink, Press Start Turbo, Summon Sign, and Nextlander. As always a big huge lovely shoutout to my friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their lovely streams. And this week a personal and special thank you to Akira Toriyama and all he’s done may he Rest In Peace. As always stay lovely to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. Happy MAR10 Day. And Happy Gaming.
Re: Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis DLC Was Dropped from the Base Game Due to Development Difficulties
I personally think they’re full of it on this one as while I think they may have intended it with the original release I think they’re absolutely lying about just dropping it. As we’ve come to learn games nowadays take lots of money and lots of time so I don’t think they started work got a year in and dropped it and neither do I believe they only got to work either last year when people demanded the answer content or even just a couple weeks ago when Reload came out. I mean I’ll get it still but just don’t BS like this. Oh and don’t get me started on their treatment of the P3P content. Seriously don’t we’ll be here all day ahahaha.

Re: Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Releases in September, Is Part of an Expansion Pass
Well shoot I did make a promise yesterday to beat this game before the end of the year now I guess it’s gotta be by September ahahaha.

Re: Persona Series Sales Pass 22 Million, Atlus Celebrates with Special Trailer
@McBurn genuine question for a fellow trails fan. How much has that series sold as a whole.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 518
Well here we are with another jam packed WAYP. Been a pretty quiet weekend. Skipped the switch mostly because of seeing Dune 2 on Friday and getting a nice solid start on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Saturday. Both absolutely beautiful and amazing works of art. Got a super duper early shift at my new store I’m working at on Monday so I think I’m gonna keep it light and chill on Sunday with just some Trails of Cold Steel IV. Finished up the Xenoblade 3 DLC: Future Redeemed this week and that was absolutely amazing as well. Leaves just the Pokémon DLC The Indigo Disk and the Splatoon 3 DLC Side Order to tackle tho with luck and help from a friend I should be able to wrap up all the Pokémon stuff tomorrow. Which means I’ll probably just focus on really trying to knock out Cold Steel IV while fitting in some time for Penny’s Big Breakaway and a copy of Unicorn Overload that I have coming in this week. Very extremely excited for that Vanillaware games are always a great time. Oh and trying to wrap up Rain Code too. Other than that mostly just a solid rotation of games on PS5 too like Tekken 8 and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Persona 3 Reload. And wrapping up Post Endwalker with the last patch 6.5 Growing Light. Anime of the week gotta go to Frieren and Mashle and High Card and Urusei Yatsura as always. Big special shout-out to Shameless again I’m absolutely addicted to that show. Podcasts of the week again gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink and RPGsites Tetracast. And as always a big shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread keeping dreams and hopes alive. If the weather is as nice where any of y’all are at as it is here make sure to get out and enjoy it it’s beautiful and feels like a summer day. Make sure to stay safe out there and have awesome weekend and as always Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 517
Well it’s been a busy busy WAYP for sure this time ahahahaha. This weekends been full of Splatoon 3, Side Order amd lovely FFXIV. Aiming to do some more Cold Steel IV today. Definitely gonna wanna take a small break between beating it and doing Reverie. Splatoon tho is excellent and I’m loving Side Order. Think I’m gonna be playing a good amount of Splatoon 3 this week as I wanna get to Level 15 in the Catalog before the Season ends on Thursday so I can get the Sherlock Holmes looking outifit. Also think maybe if I put that nose to the grindstone this week I can knock out the rest of the Post Endwalker Patch MSQs. That too has been a absolutely excellent little mini story. Tho this is the big week of course with FFVII Rebirth. Absolutely can’t wait. Gonna try to get some digital currency so I can also get a copy of Penny’s Big Breakaway for Switch and Hi-Fi Rush for PS5. Those were some absolutely hype announcements this week. Also as a aside thanks to a absolutely humbling gift from my stepdad I got like 10 amiibos this week. He gifted me Byleth and the rest of the Splatoon set I need and I also picked up on my own a Sora amd Terry amiibo. I got that fever again hahaha. But yeah basically the gaming plans this week are simple. Beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed, Get to Level 15 in Splatoon 3, and do more Side Order. Beat the Post Endwalker MSQ so I’m all set to focus on FFVII Rebirth AND I’m all set for Dawntrail this summer. And maybe dabble in some Octopath Traveler 2 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. Again absolutely excellent games. Anime of the week are simple. Again much love to Shangri La Frontier, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon, Frieren and Urusei Yatsura. Big shoutout this week to a show I’m absolutely addicted to the point of watching episodes in the middle of playing Like A Dragon and that’s Shameless or as I’m starting to think of it the FFXIV of TV Shows. Podcasts this week are simple of course, Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, RPGsites Tetracast and Summon Sign. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big love filled shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread. As always y’all keep safe, keep happy and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 516
Alrighty here we go with a jam packed edition of WAYP of this weekend. Where do I start ahaha. Started off the weekend with Mario Vs Donkey Kong and lemme tell you something that game is excellent. It’s beautiful, it’s fun and it brings me back to the old days when games were just games. Then I did some Splatoon 3 Splatfest yesterday and had some fun on new maps I’ve never played before. Team Friday Baby. Really looking forward to Side Order coming out so I can really enjoy Splatoon 3 again by sprinkling some multiplayer in beside the story mode progress like I did when the game first came out. It’s just a good combo of mindless fun and genuine progress. But I didn’t get too much time to Splat it up because last night I did something even better. I went out and had a awesome time with a awesome friend. Picked up a copy of Persona 3 Reload that I can’t wait to crack into and also grabbed the latest Chainsaw Man and JOJO Part 6 mangas as well as Encyclopedia Eorzeas 1 and 3 to complete the set. My friend I should mention also picked up some pretty damn preem books themselves if I do say so myself. But then we went to our main plans of the night and saw Madame Web. Small funny story of me looking at my phone during the previews and them nudging me saying look at the screen whereupon I fangirl out that Advent Bloody Children is on the screen. But as for the movie itself it was a good nice time that was a decent movie overall. Enjoyable at some parts and dull at others it’s not nearly bad as it was made out to be and I would say a enjoyable 7/10 or even 8/10. But of course while that was the highlight of the weekend I didn’t even mention that update from last week I finally did it. I finished the MSQ for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. All I gotta say is it was absolutely beautiful As for today and the week ahead it’s gonna be some more Cold Steel IV and trying out P3R and over the week just a general rotation of games. Some Granblue Fantasy Relink, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Post Endwalker Patch Quests, Another Code, Rain Code, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and of course the Side Order for Splatoon 3 when that comes out on Thursday too. It’s mostly just a holding pattern if you ask me this week as I feel we’ll get a shadow drop of Hi Fi Rush at a partner showcase this week so I got some Eshop money saved for that and of course the Most Anticipated Game of the Year Final Fantasy VII Rebirth just the week after this. And man I really can’t wait for Princess Peach Showtime ahahah.Of course anime of the week gotta go to Frieren, Delicious in Dungeon, Urusei Yatsura, High Card and Hokkaido Gals. Podcasts of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, and Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind. I’ve actually run into some issues with my job so this week I don’t have as many podcasts to say I listened to because really I didn’t listen to much. Of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big special shout-out to someone very much SPECIALZ my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Gonna be honest they streamed some NMH this week and I’m just saying if y’all want a fun time I think I might be friends with IRL Shinobu from NMH? I don’t know if that don’t get you to check them out I don’t know what will. As always y’all keep safe, be good to each other and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 515
Well this week is a pretty proud WAYP. Because yes as stated in last weeks entry I did play the majority of the week Trails of Cold Steel IV and feel properly stuck in. And not only made good progress I feel but more importantly to me on a personal level I finally did it. After avoiding it for 2+ years I finally went back to FFXIV and conquered the quest I seemingly couldn’t overcome. I hope my Ma is looking down and smiling. As for this week tho oh boy well we got the Super Bowl today and since that means the end of Trails Football Sunday’s as I call them I think I’ll tackle some Cold Steel IV today as well but I definitely wanna dabble in some other Nintendo games this week like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and Another Code Recollection. Otherwise in terms of Nintendo games I’m looking forward to Mario Vs Donkey Kong at the end of the week but otherwise my main goal is rotating the games previously mentioned and some more Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Granblue Fantasy Relink and also my goal of the week which is gonna be to see if I can wrap all of the base Endwalker MSQ in FFXIV by next weekend. Which is to say the stuff that came out when Endwalker launched back in 2021 not any of the post Endwalker patches. Anime of the week of course gotta go to the usual beauties like Urusei Yatsura, Mashle, Solo Leveling, Undead Unluck, Shangri La Frontier, and High Card. All absolutely amazing. And of course Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Windbreaker, Firelink, Sacred Symbols, Summon Sign, Minnmax and Nextlander. Of course we always gotta give the love and shoutout to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread who was a major motivator and help in me overcoming Endwalker. As always y’all have a excellent rest of your weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 514
This may be a pretty simple WAYP this week ahahaha. Mainly being that on the Switch I’m really only planning on one game for the foreseeable future and that’s Trails Of Cold Steel IV. I dropped off it about 3 years ago and I was really dragging my feet on going back to it but I did so last night and it wasn’t as bad as I felt it would be so I think similarly to how I did Trails To Azure last year ima just hunker down and slam it out this month and maybe next month. Then I can enjoy Reverie and hopefully have both done by the time Daybreak comes out and hey then I can maybe have a trails game on my GOTY list for once hahaha. Tho seeing as how my day off is slightly changed this week I think I’ll finally maybe go back to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed. Over on the PS5 it’ll be a simple rotation of the new darlings really. Tekken 8, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Granblue Fantasy Relink. All absolutely excellent and beautiful games. Of course I have plans to snag a copy of Persona 3 Reload this month at some point but this all leads up to the end of the week when Saturday the 10th I head back to Endwalker in Final Fantasy XIV thanks to my dear best friend helping me out with a month of subscription paid for after the website just refused to let me. So yeah I would mainly say that’s the two big focuses of the week. Carving out a crap ton of Cold Steel IV and Endwalker hahaha. As for anime of the week the strong shoutouts continue with The Witch and The Beast, Mashle, Urusei Yatsura and of course my absolutely strong Sunday lineup of Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier and Undead Unluck. As for the podcasts of the week well you know it’s the usual. Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into The Aether, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Sacred Symbols and Summon Sign from Last Stand Media, Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind and Nextlander. All seriously excellent. As always gotta give a shout-out to a lovely friend as always to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams as always. And take care of yourselves folks, be excellent to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. And happy gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 513
Hmmmmmm alright here we go with another WAYP. Been a busy week in many many MANY ways. I would easily say that most of the week I feel you could best sum me up by a WWII solider covered in ash and soot and all that smoking a cigarette with the thousand yard stare. But enough of heavy stuff we here for gaming everyone. And boi do we have some gaming to do. Had a excellent first night with Tekken 8 last night that game is everything I wanted it to be and more it’s so much fun and I just couldn’t believe I’m playing it. Tonight I’m gonna do some more Another Code: Recollection as I really enjoyed starting it on my day off and then after that I’m gonna start Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Apparently the first couple hours are like nothing but cutscenes but they play like a J drama so hey I’m here for it. Can’t wait until we get to Hawaii the first time. Also ended up buying Under Night In Birth II Sys:Celes and the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass now that we have a date for Side:Order so I’ll be playing UNI2 on my day off this week and thanks to Splatoon I’m now motivated to tackle the remaining Expansions for my other Nintendo published games. I’ve done all of Fire Emblem Engage so that just leaves Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed and Pokemon Scarlet The Teal Mask. That’s my long term like do it before the end of the year goal. And of course the Splatoon 3 one when it comes out too. Also got a digital copy of Granblue Fantasy Relink downloaded and ready to go so Wednesday might be a double whammy of new games on my day off of UNI2 and Granblue. And of course as we head into February my two hype titles of the month are coming that being Mario VS Donkey Kong and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Not my two most hype titles of the year so far that would be Rebirth and Princess Peach Showtime. Feels good to feel good with all these new games. On the anime front you already know having watched all the winter shows I have some really good picks. Urusei Yatsura, Shangri La Frontier, Frieren, High Card, A Sign Of Affection, Solo Leveling, Mashle and many more but those are just the stand outs and just absolutely excellent. Podcasts of the week are the usual: Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Nextlander, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Sacred Symbols and Summon Sign from Last Stand Media, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast and Windbreaker and Firelink from the lovely fellas over at Second Wind. And of course a weekly WAYP ain’t complete without a shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Excellent stoner catgirl with excellent choices in games like infinite wealth and in wrestlers. As always yall be good to each other and stay safe and have fun. Have a great weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 512
Alrighty another week and another WAYP. Here we go ehehehe. This weekends been kinda decent I guess. Some Octopath 2 and some Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising as well as some Rain Code. I mean that was my pick for this weekends poll. It’s finally clicking and I hope I’m not just saying that because I’m on Chapter 4 of 6 I’m thinking. My copy of Another Code has come in so I’m happy as heck about that. Also got the Noah and Mio amiibo alongside some ESHOP money so I think I’m gonna get Under Night In Birth 2 Sys: Celes and probably the Rain Code DLC. Big week this week tho we got Tekken 8 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth at the end of the week two games I’m super hyped for. Then the good times just keep rolling really ehehe. Think I’m gonna try fitting in a play through of FFVII Remake Intergrade before Rebirth. Specifically the Intermission with Yuffie. Otherwise while I wait for the big releases at the end of the week it’s business as usual. Some Assassins Creed, some Octopath maybe and even some Golden Sun I really liked what I played. Anime of the week gotta go to the new stand outs of winter like Mashle, Sign Of Affection, Witch and the Beast, Solo Leveling and a lot more. All excellent so far. As for podcasts I’m also in GOTY collection mode still so ya know outside of Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension it’s collection duty for stuff like Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander, Remap Radio and of course Windbreaker and Firelink from the great guys of Second Wind. Of course we gotta give a big lovely shoutout to my friend again at twitch.tv/akibread. With these new releases coming I think I’m finally feeling those early January blues going away. It’s a good time to like games friends so as always have a great weekend, be safe and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 511
Alright here we go another week another WAYP. Been a relatively quiet week. Tried Dave The Diver. Absolutely love it think that’ll be how I spend my weekend after work today. Terrific lovely little game. Did some Splatoon Splatfest yesterday too. Always love dipping into it for a little bit of fun. Can’t wait for that Side: Order DLC. Other then that I’ve been really going hard on Granblue in every form. Watching Relink Footage, playing some Versus Rising story mode and some matches with friends. Y’all ain’t ready for Lucillius in either game and just the force that is PARADISE LOST. Fate/Samurai Remnant, Assassins Creed they all continue to be nice. I think I might wanna check out and get that Prince Of Persia game too. Honestly I’m really just waiting on two games now. Another Code at the end of the week and Golden Sun on Wednesday. Golden Sun I’m really excited for because I’ve never played it before. Again it really do just be those January vibes where all you feeling is just…… meh. Anime of the week I finally get to shoutout the first of the winter anime as I’m checking some out today and tomorrow so shoutout to Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier, Undead Unluck, High Card and Sasaki And Peeps. Will let y’all know how those go next week. Podcasts of the week of course are the usual. Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Minnmax, Remap, Windbreaker, Firelink, Nextlander, RPGsites Tetracast and Into The Aether. As always I’ll ask to show some love to my friend over at Twitch.tv/akibread. Otherwise hey let’s hope that with stuff like Xbox’s Developer Direct this week we start getting a bit more hype with the weeks going forward. Have a awesome weekend everyone and happy gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
Alrighty first WAYP of the year and it feels nice hahaha. But as for my weekend of gaming honestly it’s kinda a quiet one I went hard on some Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising yesterday and I’m loving that game so much. Loads of fun. As for today tho I’m thinking of tackling some Persona 5 Tactica and getting that first boss finally defeated. Lovely game really it’s just so slow. And after that maybe some more Fate Samurai Remnant or even some Baldurs Gate 3? I dunno until new games come out or until I tackle FFXIV Endwalker (currently scheduled for FEB 11.) I feel I’m just gonna go on like a 3 or 4 game rotation on Switch and PS5. Those games being Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince, Persona 5 Tactica, Star Ocean The Second Story R and Rain Code on Switch. And Fate Samurai/Remnant, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, Baldurs Gate 3 and Assassins Creed Mirage on PS5. Oh and I wanna try out Dave The Diver on my day off this week so there’s that. Honestly this is that time of year where it really is just playing stuff you didn’t beat last year while waiting for the first big releases of this year. I even feel that way when it comes to the anime of the week this week. I finished some like 100 girlfriends that I really enjoyed but in terms of new stuff? Nothing is really out so far ima just shill for the continuing Mashle, Frieren and Shangri La Frontier. As for the podcasts of the week ya know it’s the usual: Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Minnmax, Into The Aether, Nextlander, RPGsites Tetracast, Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind and of course Remap Radio. Of course just because it’s a new year doesn’t mean we leave the homies behind ya know I gotta still give love to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Otherwise yeah hopefully the rest of y’all are enjoying a nice relaxing January and let’s get hype for the big releases like Another Code, Tekken 8 and more. Have a good weekend yall and Happy Gaming.
Re: Despite Circling Wolves, CD Projekt Red Not Interested in Being Acquired
So I hope I don’t come off like a screaming lunatic but honestly I wanna make a comment on the question at the end of the article. Do I forgive and forget? Yeah I do. It’s called they released a good game poorly 4 years ago and have worked hard ever since. I guess it’s like I kinda hate this mindset on most articles I see about these guys which is like what do you expect me to hold a grudge for the rest of my life with these dudes?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 509
Wow a year ago I wasn’t even really on this site and now a year later here I am participating in the last WAYP of the year. Well I’m happy to do it. Been a good week of getting games even if we haven’t beat very many of them hahaha. Between Christmas and other things I picked up copies of Assassins Creed Mirage, Fate/Samurai Remnant, Armored Core VI Flames of Rubicon, Dave the Diver (finally), and the big game, my first game on switch of 2024 and the game I picked for the poll Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince. It’s that last game I think I’ll focus on in the new year too. My December/early January game. It won’t technically be my first game of the year that’ll be Fate Samurai/Remnant. The Type Moon guys take New Years seriously so will I. But of course that’s the holiday what about this weekend? Well this weekend didn’t have much gaming outside of some Armored Core but that’s because I was doing something personally much more important. I had a excellent time with a amazing friend at a local mall. And honestly like most times with them it was simply amazing. The gifts they got me I’ll treasure and love for a long long long time. Maybe forever but that’s too big for me to think hahahah. Agent Gap is now a member of Operation Strix. They’ll see this so they’ll get the reference hehehe. I’ve said it before to yall but there really are some things more important than gaming. As for the rest of the weekend and week ahead ima focus on getting my Top 10 Lists in order and really just minding my business and working until the first big releases of 2024. For me those will be Another Code Recollection and Tekken 8. As for anime of the week it was a lot of finales and honestly all the finales I watched stuck the landing. My Inexperienced Love Story, Girlfriend, Girlfriend, Frieren, Spy X Family, 16 Bit Sensation, Eminence in Shadow, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Add in Ron Kaminohashi which I’m trying to finish today and you probably have my fall picks when it comes to anime. As for podcasts of course we’re full of GOTY Installments from all of them which makes me really happy I love those sorts of episodes. So you know the usual: Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Nextlander, Fire Escape, RPGsites Tetracast, Weapon Wheel and of course my two newcomers Windbreaker and Firelink from the Second Wind Media guys. Also of course a big shoutout to my stoner retro catgirl friend at twitch.tv/akibread. Here’s hoping through these small shoutouts we can make 2024 their year. Overall yall it’s been a great year with everyone on this site from contributors to fellows commenters. It’s been one of the greatest years in gaming with one of the strongest start to the next year that I think I have ever seen. To my buddies who read this every week like my buddy Gaddy, Agent Gap, Az, Spence, Sib and so so so many more that I could write a entire article about thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart. And I look forward to a terrrifc, happy and healthy new year with all of you and all of you commenters and contributors. As always have a excellent, happy, safe and healthy weekend and Happy Gaming. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
@Ephexis83 I’m like at least 98 percent certain you’re looking at January of this years listings. Like 11 months ago.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 508
Well we got ourselves a very festive week eh hehehehe. As for the week well I wrapped up Super Mario RPG this week and snagged this little PlayStation Indie called Eternights so kinda fun on that front. And currently the plan is to try to beat FFXVI tonight after my work shift. With that and some anime catch-up this week it’ll then be to task making all my Top 10 Lists of the year to share with friends. Of course we can’t forget the big day and yes like anyway else even I can’t resist the mood even with some extenuating circumstances. Personally for most of the holiday I’ll be in good old NYC with family. Excited for next week to share the gifts with all of y’all. Otherwise I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda feeling like most people where it’s like eh I don’t really feel like much games seeing as I either beat them or know i won’t be beating them by the end of the year. I guess the games this week will be things like Baldurs Gate 3, Like A Dragon Gaiden so I’m prepared for Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Sea of Stars, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising on the PS5 and games like Star Ocean 2, Persona 5 Tactica, Pokémon Scarlet The Indigo Disk and Trails Into Reverie on switch. Still looking at Dave The Diver. Who knows maybe a mystery benefactor will feel like spreading holiday cheer? 🥺 hehehehe. In anime this week yet another terrific performance by Jujutsu Kaisen, Eminence In Shadow, SHY, Frieren and Spy X Family. Definitely looking at some top 10 candidates there. In podcasts this week it’s GOTY Season so I’m loving the meaty length episodes I’m getting from stuff like Fire Escape, Minnmax, RPGsites Tetracast, Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, Nextlander and Remap Radio. Of course I always save the best for last and yeah I’m thinking the newest consistent addition to this is gonna be shouting out my awesome retro stoner catgirl friend at twitch.tv/akibread. This holiday season getting to give them hopefully even the smallest boost of support is one of the greatest gifts I can get please y’all go give some love and support if you can. As of writing this journal tonight they’re streaming Fatal Frame 4 if you want some spooky while you’re warm and cozy. As always y’all stay beautiful stay kind stay safe and have a terrific weekend. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays and Hqppy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 507
Alrighty bit of a interesting week this week. To start with of course this weekend was full of Indigo Disk and man is it one heck of a time so far. Definitely a toughie of a DLC but won’t lie I’m liking it more then The Teal Mask so far. Also got to have some excellent matches in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising with a friend and that is just a absolutely excellent fighting game. (shoutout Ouji_Senpai.) Gotta say think my main is gonna be Vira or Yuel. As for tonight and tomorrow actually I’m thinking of skimping on switch gaming I definitely wanna do some Super Mario RPG like I voted on but tonight I’m going to see The Boy and The Heron with my best friend and I’m really excited for that and then thinking afterwards will just be some low key Like A Dragon Gaiden time I ain’t played it in like two weeks. IM FINALLY FREE OF MORNING SHIFTS. Except for Wednesday but that’s it. So I look forward to wrapping up Alan Wake II this week as that game has just turned absolutely stellar. And otherwise I really just wanna zone in hard on some FFXVI. Would really like to beat it by Christmas and I’m 88% of the way there so here’s hoping I can do it. Otherwise most of the week is gonna just be some minor switch games like Star Ocean 2 and Persona 5 Tactica and some minor PS5 games like some more matches and story mode of Granblue. Honestly now it’s about time to start writing up the top 10 lists for the year. Very excited to share those. As for anime of the week again it’s the excellent quartet of Eminence in Shadow, Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren and Spy X Family. Getting close to the end of the season and the end of a lot of those shows so here’s hoping for excellent finishes for a lot of them. Podcasts of the week of course are Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander and Friends Per Second. Without saying why I can now comfortably stamp that one with approval for the foreseeable future. Also for anyone who saw last weeks journal where I shouted out a special friend and their redebut stream that stream was absolutely stellar and I just wanna shout them out again so y’all can still go give them love on the daily. That would be my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. As always y’all have a excellent weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 506
Well this has been one heck of a week I’ll tell ya what. Thinking this is gonna be a big entry this week in more ways then one. Well to start with similar to Jim I have also been on a video game wrap up spree. In the past week I beat Warioware Move It, Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4 and The Teal Mask DLC. Not to mention as a preview of the upcoming gaming plans I got close to the end of Alan Wake II and Final Fantasy XVI. So this week I’m thinking of taking a break from the switch. I did play some Super Mario RPG on Friday and am probably closing in on the end of that game too but I’m thinking of devoting more time to the PS5 this week. Work on beating my top two GOTYs, Alan Wake II and FFXVI and definitely try out some new games I got this week like Assassins Creed Mirage and a special game I’ll mention later. Tho I am thinking of tackling the Sonic Frontiers DLC today since they apparently patched it to make it easier. Oh i also do wanna give the Indigo Disk DLC that comes out this week for Scarlet and Violet a look too. I definitely wanna be able to put together my GOTY list, my movies list and my animes list by Christmas. Also no lie not picky on the platform but I definitely wanna look at getting a copy of Dave the Diver. I went from not really caring about it to thinking it’s kinda cool and I wanna play. But oh man the big news of the week sure we’re those game awards huh? I won’t blab on and on but I would say it was a A- this year seriously some great things there. For me personally I loved the FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth Trailers, the Blade Trailer, SEGA IS BACK, the Alan Wake performance and of course number bloody one the ELPHELT VALENTINE TRAILER MY BABY IS BACK. Of course there were some out now trailers there and that leads to the pickups of the week with that special game I mentioned. I of course grabbed the FFXVI Echoes of the Fallen DLC and my babygirl Elphelt but I also snagged the Deluxe Edition of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Won’t have to think about buying DLC for that game for a while yessir. Excited for that game and it’s early access starting tomorrow. Of course anime of the week gotta go to Jujutsu Kaisen and Eminence in Shadow for continuing to just absolutely kill it. Podcasts of course are same as usual Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Remap Radio, RPGsites Tetracast, Nextlander and Into The Aether. But with the Jirard the Completionist accusations cleared in his innocence I can now also go back to shouting out Friends Per Second again. Speaking of shoutouts last but absolutely certainly not least I wanna give a big and special shout-out to a friend of mine. Anyone reading this who sees this before December 14th please please go to twitch.tv/akibread my friend is having a 12 hour redebut stream please go show them some love. As always y’all have a excellent week, best of luck with y’all own GOTY lists and Happy Gaming.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for December 2023?
Personally I can get why people aren’t happy with this lineup I really do but considering I’ve been wanting to play Lego 2K Drive for a while but never saw a good price for it that alone has me a little happy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 505
Well here we go with another week of WAYP. Been one crazy week this week. Update from last week I beat Sonic Superstsrs but not just that game tho we’ll get to that later. This weekend I not only saw the new Nicholas Cage movie Dream Scenario and the new Godzilla movie Godzilla Minus One but I also beat Spider-Man 2 as well. All three were superb in different ways and a great time all around. Got some nifty new joycons this week too. The Pastel Purple and Green they’re very pretty. Unfortunately this week is nothing but early morning work shifts for me like back in the summer so truthfully the only PS5 game I can say is gonna get a lot of love from me is gonna be Alan Wake II most likely on my day off. Think I’m gonna try to snag a preorder of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising this week too. The shiny Deluxe edition so I can nab the season pass with it. With the Game Awards coming up I’ll probably check that out with friends and vote on it like today I’m thinking. Also for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking of abandoning my plans to 100% all of Super Mario Wonder for now and probably just try to beat it tonight. With luck I can say that about a lot of games this week. Pikmin 4, Pokémon Scarlet The Teal Mask so on and so forth. Excited for those Game Awards tho definitely. As for anime of the week I won’t lie I slacked a little this week so I’m only going to give credit to Spy X Family and Shangri La Frontier this week. Podcasts this week of course gotta be Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, Remap Radio, RPGsite Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander and Weapon Wheel. As always yall hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy gaming.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Update 5 Is Monstrous, Adds an Entire Epilogue, New Difficulty Settings, and Much More
Hang on a second, what does custom mean. Does that mean I can play on like easy easy mode and change settings so like my character is a absolute monster beast that makes combat a breeze?

Re: GTA Stage Invader Prompts The Game Awards to Shore Up Security
Man the second guy was lame as hell but y’all can’t deny the from soft kid wasn’t funny as hell. It was like a flash bang grenade going off, everyone was just like what? Reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton?
