Yeah. Same here. The first one was brutal even when you understood the mechanisms but I still enjoyed it.

Unicorn Overlord.

Same here. It seems like they have been making good progress and have sorted out whatever was causing their delay. Now I just hope we get a release window or date in the next few months.

A citizen of culture I see. :)

I have it pre-ordered and my son and I are planning to run through it on Friday. I will let you know if it is as good as I hope.

I’m loving GF Relink. It’s main story is short from what I’ve heard but the only complaint I have is that it feels like I need to go back and watch the anime to get a better connection with the crew. Still a fun and light story without the deeper connection to their beginnings. The combat is the main draw though and the post game content is where it is at. I hope they drop more complex enemies in the future. Some are easy but I have lost to quite a few and it’s nice to feel like its my fault and not a mechanic of the game.

Everyone should get Helldivers 2. The first Helldivers was a personal favorite. I loved the gameplay, the environment and the obvious nod to Starship Troopers. I’ve read nothing but positive reviews on the new combat in 2 and I’m dropping everything this weekend to play it.

I’m fully invested in Granblue Fantasy Relink this week. I might get into Persona 3 Reloaded this week but that is a massive investment. Got to complete everything before Helldivers 2 drops next week. My son and I are excited to drop in a give it to them bugs.

I heard the story is good but for full price I’m going to wait until it gets a price drop. I’m not really interested in the grinding aspect of the game outside of the main story. I imagine the game will drop in price pretty quickly and to experience 10 hours of gameplay I’ll maybe give 20. Maybe.

I read a rumor that they will be dropping a trailer for FFVII Rebirth and announcing the demo to be available today at the end. That could be exciting for those still kind of on the fence. I am hoping for some updates on a few indie titles that I haven’t heard from in a while but I think this will mostly be focused on Death Stranding 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin.

Its… fine.

The story so far is a bit tooooooo safe and friendly for me. It’s not bad and I can see a community that would love the friendly atmosphere but its just not catching me. The music is amazing, I like the art style and the characters have charm. The combat is a bit to repetitive and easy for me. I’m going to finish the game because I LOVE persona but I can’t say I would recommend it unless I knew your taste better. There is definitely a crowd for this but sadly, it doesn’t look like its me.

What title are you going to grab off the shelf? I was going to grab the Jedi Survivor instead of P5T but with Persona 3 Reloaded around the corner, I wanted to get in the mood. At least that was my reason for pushing P5T to the front of the line.

I’m running through Persona 5 Tactica before Granblue Fantasy: Relink and Persona 3 Reloaded drop. My backlog keeps expanding.

Great point. How do we get like 3 posters and not one dice?

Yeah. It is coming out on an already stacked period. It is nice that it is playable from the disc.

I’m really salty that the “deluxe” edition doesn’t have a steelbook case. :( Its the only thing I wanted. The stickers are cool and all because I can put them on my cooler but all that extra stuff is just going into a drawer.

It is really just a DLC to the game. You can play the original game just fine without this. It seems reasonable to give gamers a choice to pay for additional content if they think it is worth the value of what they have added. I don’t think I would consider that a cash grab. If nothing was added and it was just a graphical update, then I would agree with you but 10 bucks for a new game mode and cut levels is okay if you’re into the game. I personally have a backlog that I’m still working through so I’ll wait to get caught up or if it drops in price to like 5 dollars or below to see what the new mode is about.

A customizable system would be an amazing feature.

I’m looking forward to playing Teardown and Grandia. I might try Dragon’s Dogma if I get done with SpiderMan 2 this month. December is slow and I have to get caught up before the end of January.

I really enjoyed what they put together and I’m glad that it is getting the love it deserves.

I can’t say that I’ve played a ton of indies this year so I feel its not fair for me to say it is the best of the bunch but I agree that it was an amazing title.

Same here. I do hope they have a story in the world like The Division or something similar. I remember reading that was the concept at first.

It will be interesting to see what style of remake they use for this title. I personally would like it to look like DragonQuest XI but I know I’m in a minority with that request. :(
