Mamoulian War

Starting Chapter 12 in Tales of Xillia 2. 18 millions Gald still to pay off from my debt. Moving forward pretty fast on Hardest Difficulty. The hardest fight so far, was in Gaius' subquest episode 2. Had to beat all 4 guys from Chimeriad in Fractured Dimension. After getting kicked my ass 4 times, I have emerged victorious. Using Linked and Mystic Artes at the right time was key to victory. After the fight I got two levels :-P

I have just started Chapter 11 in Tales of Xillia 2 NG+. I have already full roster. I really love, that you can make your party from 9 characters, so I am always alternating and playing with different character. And all of the characters have their own quest stories. And still no need for grinding, unless you want to. I miss so much the times, when games still had lot of sidequest with stories around them MMO type questing just ruins the enjoyment of most games for me, most of the time

250??I did it in 80 or 90, I think. Are you going for all Grade stuff? Oh, my bad, I missed 2 in my message :/ I play Tales of Xillia 2. I have finishe Platinum in Original ToX in about 135 hours. ToX 2 is lasting much longer for me, because beside of Platinum, I somehow feel, that I should unlock all waepons, beasts and skits in the encyclopedia :-D I haven't played ToX2 yet. I hear the platinum is a pita, so I might skip it for the second game. I beat Dragon's Crown yesterday. I don't know if I will go for higher difficulty playthroughs. I played a bit on hard and it was fun, but playing alone has finally got boring. I played some random online games and it was decent fun. Actually it is not as much pita as it looked like, it just takes more time to do all the stuff, but keep in mind, that in my current 250 hours, I have spent at least 20 on completionist thingies, which are not required for Platinum. The hardest things are Battle Trophies, but if I was able to master them all, most of the players should be able to do them as well. I do not consider myself Uber Tales of Pro regarding to combat execution. Tales of Zestiria Platinum will be much bigger pita. The second issue I had was grinding Gaius' Chivalry support ability to 450. This one was time consuming, but in the end, I have found two enemies, which made the grind much faster. To bad I found it when I was at number 250 :-D The enemies can be found in Culmar Trail and Mon Highlands. I do not know their names, but both have models of female soldiers/bandits. So if you ever go for the platinum, do not forget about these enemies. It will save you few hours for sure ;-) Everything else was on par with original ToX. It has even the same recommended spots for some character related trophies and battle trophies.

Reign of Winter, Curse of the Crimson Throne or Jade Regent Adventure Path put into Turn Based isometric world with rules as close as possible to Pathfinder RPG or some true space opera based on Starfinder rules

He's definitely put in his time in the video game business. Can't blame a guy for wanting to relax and enjoy his life. I'd retire right now, if I could afford to, and I'm significantly younger than Brian Fargo. I'd retire immediately if I had the money to do so and I'm 30 years younger than Fargo. But then again I'm not creating anything else except tears and misery. I'm sorry but this made me laugh out loud this morning. I needed that. It was meant as such. My job isn't the sorta job where you make many friends Are you a tax collector? :-P

Finished Chapter 8 of Tales of Xillia in my NG+ run for Platinum. 8 more chapters to go :-P currently getting close to 250 hours mark O.o

Oh god.... the blonde thing... is that man or a woman. I am so affraid to click that link, to find out myself O.o

If you want to enjoy For Honor in fullest, you have to either shell out 70+730USD or play 5200 hours. Do you still think that Microtransactions should stay in the games? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/03/analysis-for-honor-unlocks-cost-730-or-5200-hours/

Well if you are used to higher standard of previous BW games, especially voiceover. It's harder to get used to lower standards of ME:A. If you are used to lower standards of Beth games, well you at least know, that it would be almost impossible to go any lower :-P

Yesterdays evening relax https://www.youtu.be/3uavlCw1DMY I am the green one. Unfortunatelly I have lost the fight, due to braking mostake in the last segment of the video But I enjoyed every second of it!

(saved this one for future use) https://gfycat.com/KlutzyImmenseJellyfish This one is hillarious as well :-D

I see. I have to reconsider naming my characters in various games. Behold my new fighter in Pillars of Eternity named Blod!

Well it's easy, do not buy games, which contain microtransactions, and they will go away, like multiplayer passes... It just needs that you start apending your money more wisely. Give your money to a smaller company, even if their game is not "Teh Best Evah" or trendy, but treats customers as a customers and not walking wallets, and the bigwigs will notice their revenue to fall and change their ways. It happened already with MP passes, it can happen again. Just stop falling for their hype, and be prepared to miss some AAA stuff. You will still have enough fun, there are more games made each month than ever before... Just be resillient about this...

No!

Taking into account that a main heroine in the game about machines is called Aloy, I have my doubts about the quality of the writing in this game :-P

BioWare removed the power wheel entirely. You and your companions can use three powers each and you aren't given any control over which powers the companions use--companions are all AI. They've also tied single player and multiplayer together, making ME into a multiplayer game you can play with bots. So they turned it into another Battlefield game?

I started my second playthrough of Tales of Xillia 2. I have all of the hrind based trophies behind me already, so I have decided to go for another full playthrough, trying to fill up the encyclopedias and get the last four Gameplay Trophies, which I have missed in my first blind playthrough.

Well, the more trailers the game usually has, the more ****ty it ends up, and the new ME has more of them already, than any other game I remember...

They confirmed one new companion added to the game at later stages of post development support in newest backer update.

New Backer Update from Numenera. They added upgrades to Immortal Edition on your platform of choice if you pledged at some kind of collector edition. And you get also some Backer Outfit or something :-P Keys are redeemable on Backer Portal. Enjoy!

More like Shadow of Duty: Mordor Warfare, if they start releasing on yearly basis :-P

Oh yeah, you are right, when I was a kid, the magazines were more honest when reviewing the games and if a game got mark above 8/10, you could be sure, it was the next best thing since invention of sliced bread :-/ Now they give out 8/10 to games like candies. Says a lot how they depend on ads from these companies and their objectivity...

I do not know, but even at 15, all people I knew at that time at same age, had at least some basic bull**** sense. What happened in last 20 years, that it changed so much?

Just save some for the drought that will undoubtedly come (or the disappointment when a bunch of them turn out to suck)Well thankfully I have pretty big backlog, but I have now real issues with what to buy now, and for what to wait until the sale. And also PoE 2 came into it... and I have to fund my Pathfinder RPG hobby as well :'( I really can't remember when was the last time, when there was so much games up to my taste released in such a short time span *shrugs* The only game which I own, and I am affraid that it would suck is Final Fantasy XV. For this reason, I have decided to not start the game, before most of the patches Tabata-san promised will be released.
