Hopefully, I won't have to get the console for several months - if not years. Nintendo's launch titles usually aren't anything to write home about. BotW was a notable exception in recent memory, but was also available on the previous generation.

The top seems to be the same size, the old one just bulges more while the new one almost goes straight down.

I know multiple people who complain about every release and then buy it, preferably both versions. A few even complaint there's no third edition to buy anymore.

If anything, GF could reduce their quality even more.

No, I don't think so. They are just different and people don't like change. For context, I'm a massive JRPG fan and I've played: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 and 15. And of course tons of spin-offs. Planning on playing 7, 8 and 13 - don't care for MMOs and 16.

Out of these, I love of course the obvious early ones: 4 and 6.

However, 10 is my favorite overall. It has the most solid gameplay (fuck ATB tbh) and a great story, even though we sideline Sin way too much for Seymore who I don't care for. It's biggest problem are the minigames though, I hate Blitzball and especially the Cloister of Trials.

9 could be better, but the steam version crashes so much I didn't get to finish it.

Now, after 10 we got a lot more experimental:

12 was fun but had massive problems. It's biggest was the autobattle mechanic alongside the speed up in modern releases. You basically don't play the game and you don't even strategize. It's always faster to sprint a few minutes around the map and get back with more levels which ultimately killed any interest I had in the battle system. But I dislike programmable party members in every game, so your milage may vary. The world building on the other hand was awesome.

15 was a great game. I think it's reception isn't wrong necessarily because of how much it differs from trailers and such. However, I played it years after release and without having seen a single trailer. I had a blast throughout. The writting is among FF's best, not because it's such a great story, but because the relationships between the main party are so strong. I even liked the battle system - it's different and has a lot of potential, I think. It's biggest failure is that you need to watch a series, a movie and read lots of other material to grasp the story - a lot of it isn't in the game.

16, I can't say much about. I'm honestly not very interested in basic medieval fantasy settings, they've stripped out the RPGs mechanics and quite frankly I just don't own a system I could play it on. Maybe I'd like it after all, I don't know.

Assuming that's not some default config I just don't know, that's actually a rather competently built config for i3 or similar. If he did that hinself he should manage.

Sunbreak? Yes. Not only did my playtime at least double with the DLC, the game is also really easy before that point. Monster Hunter has three difficulty rankings for quests: Low Rank, High Rank and Master Rank - the last one being the DLC. You get new monsters - inlcuding armor sets, a whole new post game, new upgrade mechanics, new maps...

I don't think the mainline games will change anytime soon, just like they didn't adopt the battle styles of the last Legends game.

Like, don't get me wrong, I think the idea they are going for is good. But I also think it does look really clunky and would kill the PvP scene.

Personally, I'd go for a turn based and position based approach like Like a Dragon or Dragon Quest are experimenting with.

Honestly, it's the right image for both. At least for team based games. The first thing that comes to mind are unpleasent people when I hear ladder.

I can attest to many of the other games mentioned, but I haven't seen Radiant Historia Perfect Chronolgy mentioned yet. It's my favorite game on the 3DS. It does feature time travel as a mechanic and has unique battle mechanics.

If you're up for SRPGs too (S meaning strategy), I wholeheartedly recommend Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 1 + 2. The first one is overall a bit better.

To mix it up - I just finished Witcher 3 (Hearts of Stone)! It's been the best content in the game so far.

Now, I'm playing Witcher 3 (Blood and Wine). Of course, I got to the new map and immediately started collecting all side quests there.

I keep repeating myself like a broken record, but I'm still on Witcher 3!

I've made a lost of progress since last time, completing the remaining main story starting from one of the first main quests in Skellige. Apparently it does go by quite fast if you've done literally every side quest available to that point.

This week I'll get into Heart of Stone. I've done the frog prince fight already and I gotta say: It's been such a massive improvement in terms of boss fights, you start to wonder why they have been so bland before.

Also, once again after doing every quest I found, it was kinda funny to fully upgrade the Runewright out of pocket - I've heard people complain about that one.

He's just getting a cutscene of his owner sitting there, hence why the cushion does bear his smell. But he's long gone (10 min) and definitly not in there - the dog searches anyway.

In Owner's Footsteps

• Find out if Owner is in Kitchen.
• Find out if Owner is in Bedroom.
• Find out if Owner is trapped in Couch Cushions. (200 EXP)

The ending of Future Redeemed links the games to:

As for future games, I think they confirmed moving away from the combat formula, which implies moving away from the Klaus story. But it could be something new set in world as shown at the end of XB 3.

Anyways, still on Witcher 3. It's a never ending game, but I didn't play much at all these past to weeks. I did continue the main story, but only by 1 or 2 quests. I just got the mask from Yen in Skellige.

This weekend, I've got a lot of time so there will be much more progress, I think

Ignoring all the other choices, why is his right arm green?

About 3 days. I do it every now and then since it does help relief a medical issue.

Interestingly, I don't get hungry and don't feel much difference overall. I could go much longer, but I don't want to worry about refeeding syndrome.

Pretty much everything? I have very specific likes and pretty much stopped consuming things outside of those, since I can't even fit all the stuff I'm guaranteed to like.

I guess among like-minded people, Final Fantasy 7 is the most glaring omission.

For lemmy, it's probably anything Star Wars or Star Trek.

I love almost everything about this, apparently 100h+ in Infinite Wealth was not enough for me. Although, having discovered Like a Dragon only because of their switch to turn-based combat, I'm not sure the brawling is a good fit for me.

I'll probably pick it up eventually, assuming a new main game doesn't drop till then.

I admit I'm not big on gwent and especially not horse racing. However, I really enjoy learning about different creatures, their lore and how to dispose of them. The game is great at introducing new ones every few quests. There are some great moral questions in there, too!

But at the end of the day, I just like long RPGs. The feeling of getting lost in a vast world is one of my favorite things in games. Tweaking a build over months, slowly diving into more and more mechanics. I don't play much else, honestly, and only one at a time.

To be fair, that's 70h over the course of 2 months already. And I've still got a big chunk of the main story and 2 DLCs in front on me. Sadly, life's been quite busy.
