Still playing Borderlands 3 as my main PS game. 2 vaults down, don’t know how many more left.
ATOM RPG is hard! I don’t recall having such trouble with Fallout 1 and 2. Either they weren’t this hard or I have become used to easier games. I think my problem is how I distributed my stats, giving me a very intelligent but a weak character, that keeps dying in actual fights.
Read up a bit on it about character stats, and thinking about starting a new game with new character.
While I kept dying in ATOM RPG, I looked through my backlog and started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All. I loved the first one, but took a break before diving deep in the next one. So, playing through that now. Still a great game, might even be better than the first one. I’ll probably finish this before I go back to ATOM.
Also started Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter on PC. Prologue was very interesting, just started Chapter 1. Playing it slowly on the side, when I generally don’t have access to PS and Switch, not cause the game isn’t fun, but because I don’t enjoy playing on PC much. Fortunately only Trails in the Sky is left on PC, and all other games are available on console, so shouldn’t be too much of a trouble.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
I hope I am ok to join in here, and if not please let me know. I lost my Switch in a house fire and have been relying on my tablet for entertainment. Emulators have been a blessing.
Currently I am playing the Final Fantasy I Pixel Remaster. I really did not expect to enjoy it as much as I am. The story is loose, the text is sparse, but that is actually right up my alley.
The locations are fairly varied and pretty. The dungeons aren’t too much, and some might actually benefit from having a little more.
It is a simple, to the point JRPG and I really appreciate it for that. The hardest thing to get used to is the magic system. You are alloted three slots per level of magic (I don’t even know how to tell what my magic level is, but I haven’t been locked out so far) and you purchase your magic in towns in the same way you would any item or equipment. Each level of magic has it’s own amount of uses, that I believe goes up with your magic level. Ethers restore 1 point for each level of magic. Once you sort it all out it isn’t too bad, but I find myself reluctant to use magic some of the time.
I believe I have crossed the halfway threshold, and am excited to finish it. I’m not sure if I will dive straight into II or play a pallette cleanser
So sorry to hear about your Switch (and house fire - hope you all were safe).
These weekly threads are for everyone. Doesn’t matter what you are playing, and where you are playing. You are welcome to join and share. So, don’t worry about this.
Earliest FF I have played is VII. Though I do plan to play the earlier games in the series, they aren’t high on priority.
Thank you, everyone made it out, and we were able to save quite a bit of stuff. Just not my Switch, and I was pretty attached to it. I got it at the midnight release And my buddy bought me a shell in my favorite color I put on it. Of course, being a gen 1 I had to mod it
Final Fantasy X is still my favorite, followed by IV. FFI is nice and simple, and I’m digging the hell out of it. I’m almost finished with it now actually. Not sure what I will play after, but I’ll need a break before FFII. The Pixel Remasters have a lot of awesome QoL changes that I really appreciate, and make it so that it is not a chore due to archaic mechanics
Good to know that there wasn’t too much damage, but I can understand losing something you are attached to. I also got Switch on launch, and am pretty attached to it.
My favourite is FF XII. It’s the first one I played, and fell in love the series. Have since played 13, 14 (didn’t even finish the base game though), 15 and 7 remake. From older ones, I have played 9 and 7. Thought about starting 10 a few times but haven’t been able to get myself to play it.
And yeah, it’s only because of the QoL changes in Pixel remaster that I am even thinking about playing the older ones.
I am on the final dungeon of the first Final Fantasy, and I can easily recommend the Pixel Remasters. As for X, you shouldn’t need much convincing lol, I think a lot of people will tell you to play it
