SMTV is kicking my ass. I'm at the second major boss and I've lost for attempts in a row. The good news is I think I might get him on the 5th. I can get him down to his final form with 25% damage. So with a little luck in a slight change and strategy I think I can finally knock him out.


That's sort of the thing I love and hate about this series. These fights aren't something you can just beat by grinding and leveling up your characters. If you don't have a well thought out strategy, it really doesn't matter what level you're at.

Yeah I definitely noticed that about this game. It took me several attempts and some strategizing to get past the first boss.

yep, strategy is highly valued in this series which is something I like, but it definitely is taken too far at times. In previous games there have been instances where you have to create a certain type of demon with a certain custom set of skills. In the past its required a ridiculous amount of work to achieve that, and I certainly been in circumstances where I've just quit instead of trying to figure it out.

430 hours into Asphalt 9. Feeling a little burnt out but can't stop playing.

15 hours into Crysis 2. It feels extraordinarily long for a fps, it's very enjoyable though and smokes the first game by a mile IMO

25 hours into the Great Ace attorney on case 5 of the first game and I'm feeling burnout there a bit. There's so much unnecessary text at times. I wouldn't mind if there was voice acting but sometimes it gets tiring. Still great fun and value overall. If the 2nd game is a similar runtime you're easily looking at 50 hrs of gameplay.

10 cases and 2 games in one package. And it's pretty much the Ace Attorney you know and love.

Played a little of Streets of Rage 4 and... Whoa that's how you make a sequel. It's really good! Shame the turtles game they're making using pixel art.

Just bought Shakedown Hawaii

I've all but given up on JRPGs at this point. The excessive menus and complicated battle systems. Eh

Though I'm interested in a new Xeno game, still haven't played past 25 hrs of Xenoblade 2.

My first reaction is that there really aren't that many menus and it's not too complicated. However, the more I thought about it, I've been playing games in and around this series for about 15 years. So yeah, they're probably complicated.

I started Divinity OS2, so far it's great, so many quests, so many way to tackle them. Interesting world and characters.

hope you all had a great Christmas! Sorry to hear about the parking GG. Also yes Streets of Rage 4 is incredible.

I now have a Switch.

Any highlights in the sale about to end I should be looking out for?

Everyone always seems to like Mario and rabbids Kingdom battle, and that's pretty cheap. I can't say anything in the sale really catches my eye as far as deals you won't see again. Oh, World of Goo is cheap if you never got around to that.

So, who would have thought it, but George Costanza apparently owned a Virtual Boy.

Mario VS Rabbids is indeed cheap and good.  For what it's worth, I liked the DLC even better.

FAST RMX is cheap now if you never played it on WiiU.  It's basically F-Zero

If you're looking for couch co-op Human Fall Flat is a fun 3rd person puzzle game and currently on sale.

Lovers in a dangerous Space time is superb in couch co-op as well, although I don't think it's currently discounted.

Yoku's Island express is a pinbal/metroidvania hybrid that was rather enjoyable.  I believe aspro played it as well.

Lair of the Clockwork God is a platformer/point and click hybrid which is supposedly very funny. It's currently 75% off but I haven't played it myself.

And of course, Splatoon.  It's not on sale, but it is very, very good.

These guys need to make sequels to Final Fight, Golden Axe, Aliens vs Predator and The Punisher.

There's over 2700 games on sale here. I wouldn't know where to begin. I think recently I bought Shakedown Hawaii, Streets of Rage 4, Roki and Road 96. Pretty sure they are still on sale till 31st December

Asphalt 9 is free, and awesome. Great to play whilst watching TV.

I think the Crysis trilogy is still on sale too, great value and very good games. Started Crysis 3 yesterday. Love starting one game after the other, feels like binge watching a great TV show.

I thought the graphics in crysis 2 looked great, but 3 on switch barely looks like a switch game. There's some crazy ass stuff like ridiculous details on faces, crazy amounts of foliage moving.

I saw a ivy wall, walked up to it expecting some baked in shader or texture and instead the hundreds of leaves are all separately rendered and all independently swaying in the wind. The motions controls add a lot and all games are great to play in handheld too.

Just been playing Shakedown Hawaii.

If you like GTA this is a fun breezy romp. Hijack cars old school, then run, jump and shoot like MERCs.

A good time. Reminds me of gta Chinatown wars or a 2d version of Vice City.

Did anyone here play Disco Elysium? I swear someone did and gave it a pretty glowing review, but I don't quite remember now. Just noticed it was on sale for ps4, and it's one of those games that's been on my watch list.

My wife is making me watch don't look up on Netflix. It has a star studded cast, but it's still a crappy Netflix movie. I bet they paid the actors double just to be part of it.

I haven't seen a single Netflix movie that wasnnt horrible. Not even a cast of great actors can inspire them to make some actual cinema.
