I've been playing this myself for the last several days, and have been getting pretty much exactly what I both wanted and expected out of it. As Samantha says the battles, as well as the preparations necessary to facilitate them, really are a little bit too opaque at first—I was probably 4/5s of the way to the end…
I started the year off with Undertale, which is only from last year but still managed to pass me by at the time. Also, when everybody else was freaking out over Dark Souls III, I was instead playing Bloodborne for the first time, and getting manhandled by every jackoff with a pitchfork from here to Byrgenwerth.
Well, I wasn't particularly kind to Mighty No. 9 in my review, but I don't know about worst game of the year. It wasn't even a total catastrophe or anything, it just really can't keep up in a year where the bar has so far been incredibly high.
Bravely Default was great for this, yeah. The sequel presumably is too, although I haven't played it yet (is that ANOTHER one from this year? Good lord.) What I liked most about Bravely Default (A game that I had lots of problems with otherwise) was that the game was pretty much all found in the character building…
Been a minute since I checked in with WAYPTW. Last time I was replaying Oxenfree for the fourth or so time. Now I'm dong it for the ninth time. Still haven't unlocked that supposedly totally real hidden ending. But I'm not going to let a history of utter, humiliating failure stop me from continuing to try!
I've made a lot of "hey, why not" purchases in my time and landed a lot of winners. Just recently I nabbed Grow Home as a "fuck it, why not" style purchase because it was on sale and I'd heard good things, and even my all-time-ish favourite end-my-life-forever-I'm-dead-now game, Life Is Strange, I bought mostly on a…
Chocobo Hot N' Cold is the main game, Final Fantasy IX is the minigame surrounding it.
If memory serves, every boss in FFIX has three drops: a common, an uncommon, and a rare, which I think either have to be stolen in order, or have their statistical likelihood of being stolen stacked such that you'll basically always get them in that order anyway. The rare drops are usually solid gear that you're…
I don't even really start fighting bosses until I've nabbed all their loot, which sometimes takes waaaay too long, even with a bunch of steal-boosting gear and abilities equipped. I'm normally not much of a completionist, but for some reason FFIX really flips that switch in me.

What I love about the Digimon taxonomy is that the vanishingly tiny amount of sense the whole thing makes on the show gets thrown out the window by games like Digimon World, in which each Rookie can evolve into like a half dozen Champions of absolutely no visual or thematic relevance. Biyomon > Birdramon > Garudamon…
Plus Michelle Monaghan is in there for like, 3/8s of a second!
Zero was originally supposed to pick up the plot threads left over after Mega Man X5, but Capcom made X6 without Inafune's involvement. Because of that unintended additional entry in the X series, Inafune had to adjust MMZ's story to accommodate what happened in X6.
I wrote this game up a few weeks back, and incredibly I'm still playing Kingdom Hearts Unchained X in my spare-few-minutes time. I had very little exposure to or experience with mobile games until recently (I only got my first ever smart phone in January of this year) but my understanding was that KHUX adhered to the…
Truly I am among my people.
"It is the current year" is such a hilarious line because it manages to be both utterly meaningless and somehow still obviously untrue.
Aaaaaaagh, this is such a good choice
I remember my first time. It's like a stranger's cat choosing your lap to sit on.
I'll do you one better: turn off the HUD. All of it. You don't need it as much as you think you do. At the very least, turn off the mini-map and set the HUD to 'small'.
