Mamoulian War

Continue on my Tales of Symphonia marathon. I am in the last 3rd of the game, (start of Disc 2, if it would be the GC version of the game). Slowly playing around, doing all the sidequests and titles, which I missed 5 years ago, when I’ve played the game for the first time. Enjoying it much more than a lot of newer games, Just the combat is kind of not the most enjoyable 😕

Yup, it was merger with Enix. But for some reason I have enjoyed also XII and XIII-2. I have not even started the XV, because how much they "westernified" the game. No reason to play japanese game, if it does not feel japanese anymore 😞 Thankfuly Tales of and Atelier series are still pretty much staying at least partially to their roots.

Just because of this, I still enjoy some older games more than their newer counterparts, which uses Ultra Realistic Graphics. Final Fantasy series comes as a perfect example of this...

They are 4 years to late to jump on the ASCII bandwagon 😛 https://www.gog.com/game/sanctuaryrpg_black_edition well unless it is the same developer 😄

I have arrived at Tethe’alla in Tales of Symphonia. Slowly acquiring easier to get titles, and uncovering the plot twist second time. Some stuff I remember good, some stuff I do not remember at all. Combat feels little bit clumsy compared to other older Tales of titles, I’ve played. It will be very long time before I’ll have chance for Platinum with this one

Well it is harder to find play time for sure, but I am trying to find enough time once in a while to finish some games at my backlog. Sometimes more successfully, sometimes less. I still love RPGs, and I try to find enough time over time to finish them even if it takes few years 😄 Thankfully I still have good enough memory, to go back to the story after few months of break 🙂

I do not know, how it is on Steam, but in GOG you get an email notification, everytime your wishlisted game is on sale. I am putting on my wishlist mostly games where I am not sure, if they will be my cup of tea or not, but spending few bucks on them once in a while is not painful. I found few awesome jewels that way.

Nope, you should have wishlisted them on GOG instead 😛

Just released the second seal in Tales of Symphonia. The game is very hard if you don’t grind. I am already curious how much I will get ass kicked, when I’ll go for the Gung Ho title next playthrough 😄

Started my second playthrough of Tales of Symphonia. This time with walkthrough to go for allmof the sidequests and trying to do most of the titles. It was almost exactly 5 years, after, I’ve beat it for the first time.

Not to such extent than it is now. It is very big difference between listening to your fans, and listening to people who do not play your games, and just rage for clicks and ad money

I am more a Pathfinder guy 😛 And so far for me was the most interesting Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, because of very mature setting. Thankfully it was released, before the outrage culture overtook the internet.

Played Assetto Corsa today for more than 2 hours after a looong break. I am in middle of GT2X Championship, and as a next in line was Mugello track. This track is for me more challenging than Nordschleife and very hard to drive it without errors. And the race was 30 laps long Thankfully the setup provided by the game for this race was pretty solid so after 3 completely botched races, I was able to finish it on 4th try with only one hickup. Still after slowly moving forward to first place, I had to defend my position almost until the very last lap of the race. If anyone is interested, you can find my race against Medium AI here:

Also, very good video on addiction mechanics, which are put deliberately into games, to make people spending more and more and more. Also including excerpts of the Let’s go Whaling presentation, which was on some developer conference and was about the various kinds of manipulative exploitations, which get’s the money from your pockets the easiest way (including social bullying...) maybe it will show you some reasons, while these companies should be considered as evil corporations as well, even if they are not on the level of Monsanto and Nestlè... Even if you do not like Jim Sterling, this one is worth watching...

Now I just wish, that Morgoth would be still around... Video is NSFW - when you are so ****, than the developers rather ask people to pirate their games, than to buy from you...

The big advantage of GOG in this is that they are based in EU. If other launchers start to put some code, which will prevent competition in the market, all they need to sue them at EU court, like Google and MS were sued few times in the past.

Purchased today both Super Neptunia RPG and Judgement. More japanese madness to play *cheers* PS: Kamurocho Open World > Hong Kong Open World 😛

Nomclue what is his name, but IMO nazi and a jew does not belong into a one sentence, just saying. I do not know any background about US personas, just I am puzzled by the possible misuse by Googles higher ups, which is hinted at the video from UEG, if this is indeed real case.

@Pidesco if you can, watch the Upper Echelon video, I’ve linked. He speaks about controversies on both sides. Google and the guy behind Project Veritas. I think both sides are trying it to skew it in their favour. On remark of racism, some Google people are openly pointing at one Orthodox Jew and calling him nazi. So the *ism card in this case is not entirely backed with stoneproofed arguments.

@Chilloutman More about it in a video which tries to be as objective as possible. Man needs to really dig deep in this one to find relevant and true information.

Well, it just little bit smells, because at the same time, right before E3, there was 4 or 5 prominent youtoubers attacked by the same "group" of urinalists, which were bashing Epic Store for it's customer unfriendly behaviour. And with that, people start to draw different kind of conclusions 🙂

Few puzzlepieces behind the latest outrage? It makes a lot of sense, but yeah, you never know 😛

I object your honor. It wasn’t rape. I just awarded the lady with my iconic surprise mechanics. I believe that surprise buttsex is ethical and quite fun for all ages. *facepalm*

Just few minutes ago, after having it pretty long time on my backlog, I've finished Hyperdimension Neptunia VII. My first playthrough ended with the most common Ascension Ending. The game is IMO much better than all previous installments. Cut-scenes are shorter, gameplay is more refined, sending out scouts is more user friendly. Can't wait for the release of Super Neptunia RPG in few days. I can only recommend, if you are into that kind of jRPGs

If you have Mortal Kombat X or XL, you can get Gold Scorpion (which could be obtained only as a Kollector’s Edition item) for free. You can get as well other postlanch XL skins for both games (Krimson Ermac, Bleu Steel Sub-Zero and Kosplay pack for Jacqui and Cassie) for free. worked for me on my PS4 in EU and might work on other platforms as well.
