Currently on what is (I hope) the final 15 hours of Dragon Quest VII 3DS. Have really enjoyed the game (the often tragic vignettes/side stories and related before-and-after events can be really entertaining) but it’s ridiculously long with too many fetch quests, I’m ready to start a new RPG at this point. This is my second title in the DQ series, my first was DQ V on DS which I absolutely loved and is now tied with both Chrono Trigger and Earthbound for my all time favorite JRPG.
How about you? Any one game in particular that just keeps hanging on to your backlog that you’re beyond ready to complete?
I’m like 300 hours into Breath of the Wild which I had to stop because of RL issues and am trying to get back into it again. But now I’ve wasted too much time and Mario is coming out and then I got all the stuff I missed. :c
Then there is the fact that I can’t seem to stop checking forums and now discord… :C
Both SMG 1&2 are so good, Koizumi and Hayashida are master craftsmen in 3D platforming direction.
Get ready for Grandmaster Galaxy “Perfect Run” on SMG2 whenever you get around to clearing it. I beat it twice, two no hit runs: once on foot and once taking Yoshi through the entire stage (have to use the endless flutter glitch to get him past the parts he is not supposed to get by, makes the stage even more grueling).
I recommend keeping up with it… I had that reaction as well, ended up really enjoying it. I don’t think it’s Super Metroid or Prime, but then that’s an unfair comparison to almost any game. I think I prefer it to Zero Mission and Fusion.
Final Fantasy VI on my Super Famicom, I’m probably 2/3. Never played it before and I’m loving it. Kind of understand FF7 better after playing it, I just understand where the music, dark atmosphere and style derives from if you get me. I’m not a huge FF player, but FFVI has really hit my nostalgia strings from FF7 without even having played it before!
I am playing through the original Turok on the 64. I’ve had an itch to play it and I’m currently on level 7 The Lost Land. Hoping to finish it this weekend.
I really wanted to finish South Park FbW today, but I ran into some auto-save glitch that made me lose 3 hours of progress. I couldn’t manually save either because the game was constantly trying to auto-save (which it wasn’t). When I restarted the game due to a freeze (yup, it’s a Ubisoft game alright) all my progress since my last manual save was gone. Now the game will have to wait until I’m done with Mario Odyssey.
I’m having a hard time focusing on one game I keep bouncing between multiple games… I’m trying to just focus on Star Ocean: Until The End of Time on PS2.
I’ve been “finishing” The Red Star for the last couple of months. Slowly crawling thought the later levels. It became really hard for me mainly because it’s a linear game and you can’t max out the upgrade system (at least on the first run) nor relocate the points so if you put them in the wrong place it’s gonna get tough.
But I’m loving it nonetheless. I find it very unique with it’s combination of beat em up and shump. I wonder if the unfished xbox version has differences.
