Does anyone know how to contact crim, we need him back.
What're you on about, I've been here the whole time
Sorry if it seems like I flat left y'all, life got ridiculously busy in the new year. I have the 3 girls at home, my wife, I took on new responsibilities at work I should have thought more clearly about beyond 'well my students need this'. All of that lead to time just disappearing. So I have just been out of touch, sorry fam! I really feel for you Phase, I read through previous threads to get a sense (the old man reached out for me on PSN to give me the brief overview). All of that sounds awful though I am glad you are at least home now. I hope after this recent setback it's all smooth sailing for you going forward with this new situation!
Part of the reason I disappeared is because I have barely played anything. I made it through the 2b and 9s portions of Nier Automata. I'm at a part in the third run I hate where they keep taking abilities from me like JUMPING WHEN THEY WANT ME TO PLATFORM so I put it down, probably until summer. This year, I have only beaten Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and The Manhattan Project in the TMNT collection (the kiddo and I agreed this one was way too long). That was back in January. I just haven't had any real time.
For you DQ heads, I have made it about 20 hours into DQ8 on the 3DS. I always feel underpowered, underleveled, and underprepared for literally everything. DQ11 felt great all the way through and I know I am doing something wrong with DQ8. I am at a part where I just got a boat, I am sailing west to get at jester boy but I keep getting clobbered by a single enemy that uses gigaflash. Not cool but I will pick back up after spring break on the train next week. Any pointers on this game would be MUCH appreciated.
I gave up on my racing game quest pretty fast. Racing games are fun but not the way that fighters were. So I want to shift my focus this year to series. I have never actually played DMC so I downloaded the whole shebang straight through 5 yesterday. I have always been curious but needlessly concerned about the difficulty. I am going easy in all of them when I am given the chance. I tend to avoid character action because of difficulty but they look cool so I think I'm just going to go for it. I might even finally just give God of War a go.
Oh, j I bought Ishin! and started it. Probably saving it for my summer game. I made it through chapter 2. Good stuff though I really don't like having to deal with blacksmithing/crafting most of the time (DQ11, strangely I was fine with). And izzy, I keep ALMOST buying that SNK collection just to play Crystalis again. I LOVE Crystalis, was the first action rpg I ever beat, I was obsessed with its ridiculously obtuse puzzles and the whole 'NES you must talk to everyone before you can move on' nonsense. Such a cool game.
I am going to make it a goal to check in at least weekly, fam. Hope all's well with the rest of the crew!
PS- Very, very late 2022 GOTY incoming by the end of the week (Lost Judgment and I have unsettled business...) !
