I'm trying to work through Pillars of Eternity now. Currently in Twin Elms and still enjoying it a good bit. My mate is doing the same because he wants a completed character file for Pillars of Eternity 2.

Still in the middle of Chrono Trigger. It's a solid game, but I often time have trouble finding the motivation to start playing it. It's a good game, but it's worn down on me. Add in that I'm maybe halfway through at best, and I dunno if I'll finish it before P4G gets here, which was my goal.

It feels weird, going back to Twilight Princess when I'm already used to BotW's controls. Even the wolf sections feel off, since I'm already used to Ōkami's controls. Still, I can see a couple of QoL changes were added: Link's climbing speed increased, you only need to find 12 Tears of Light in each area, and the starting wallet holds 500 rupees. Textures were also given an overhaul, so nothing looks pixelated. Now if only Link's hat would stop clipping through his shield...
In contrast, this is my first time entering the Devil May Cry series and I can easily tell the HD collection is a lazy port. Sure, the in-game graphics can be rendered in 1080p, but the FMVs are all in their original resolution, making them look worse than standard gameplay footage, and none of the textures have been updated. You could probably get similar performance results with an emulator and a widescreen hack.
Still, it's pretty fun. DMC1 is fine if you accept that the level design was salvaged from a scrapped Resident Evil game.
I knew people hated DMC2, and I wanted to try to give it a fair chance. I put it down after four chapters, tried DMC3 and immediately understood why everyone hates 2. 3's controls just feels so much more fluid.

My sister bought it for me a while ago and I haven't played it yet. I've only played the PS2 version when it came out. Aside from new dresspheres and slightly upgraded graphics everything is pretty much the same. Which I like. I'm almost finished with my first playthrough. I didn't really care for the story. I usually get more into it the second time around. I'm going to try to get 100% in my second playthrough though.
It feels so nostalgic playing it again.

Despite that, this is definitely my game of the year so far. Curious as to whether Smash will surpass it or not.
While I'm at it, might as well rank all the characters. They're all great, with the top two being absolutely stellar.
1. Alfyn
2. Primrose
3. Therion
4. Tressa
5. Ophilia
6. Olberic
7. Cyrus
8. H'aanit
You know you've got a good cast when Cyrus somehow is 7th overall.

I played the demo and when I rolled into town to collect a new party member and help them with their quest I was quite surprised to see the existing party members were represented nowhere in the quest. They were just invisible.
Does that sense stick or does it improve?

I've never really been a huge fan of strategy RPGs, and the furthest I ever got was Mario + Rabbids (which is a great game in it's own right). However, the freedom VC provides is just incredible. Despite it being a slow, turn-based game, it feels real-time. Positioning troops, using tank cover, and setting up ambushes is incredibly fun. Tanks are a bitch to control, and some of the classes are just straight up useless (there's virtually no use for shocktroopers until they get to level 13+) but those problems pale in comparison to how great the combat is.
Spoiler: Story
Despite the story hiccups, I still loved the game. Placed my pre-order for VC4 right after I finished. And, since I tried out the demo, I might as well cover my thoughts on that too.
1. Gameplay-wise, I like VC4 more. Scouts seem to be nerfed, shocktroopers got a well-deserved buff, and everyone else stayed where they're at. The grenadier is pretty OP, but I'm hoping it's just for that specific mission. I also like how unique the missions are too, compared to just "take the camp" or "kill the boss" from VC1.
2. I like the setup for the story more as well. Rather than giving us the intro to the protagonist's life and how he joined the war, it just throws us straight into the war. The characters fill out their tropes, but I much prefer starting the story with everyone already in the squad than learning how each and every one joined. I also like that the main characters all know each other from before the game begins, and I'm enjoying the darker tone so far (such as the Imperials burning down an city within the first two chapters). It's already out in Japan, but luckily I've kept myself fairly spoiler free, although I know of one major plot point. It's too early to say for sure, but I have a feeling VC4 will top VC1 by a good margin.

That said there's nothing quite like VC's gameplay and I am absolutely excited for the full release. Grenadiers I think are broken and are there to stay.
Also its been a while since I played the first game but I think the characters are far more dysfunctional this time around? As in their personal perks seen more negative and balanced than I remember from VC1

As I said before, I'm hoping that it was just for that specific mission. I didn't really try to use Grenadiers in the second mission, but that was mostly because the mission didn't really need them all that much. Just needed to bullrush the camps with some scouts and the tank and summon snipers when needed.
Hopefully some of the later missions require more mobility, forcing grenadiers to stay back behind cover instead of getting caught in the crossfire. I'm also curious as to how enemy grenadiers will fight.

@Thunder
Once you beat the Demo, you unlock one bonus mission which gives you more power and more difficulty. In that mission Grenadiers are still clutch but they are also a nightmare as the enemy has them as well.
If they land near you then aside from the damage and ragdoll you get from the explosion, you also lose AP making it harder to approach them.
Snipers are the ideal way to handle them I think but given how they have an arc of fire the Grenedier will likely be well covered.
Best chance I think will be to buff a scout and go on a near suicide run to take them out.

Shit, forgot about the extra mission. I never had time to do it, and I just forgot about it afterwards. Looks like I know what I'm doing when I get home.
Hopefully the whole game won't revolve around the grenadiers. They introduce some really cool strategy potential in how you take them out, but hopefully it doesn't just boil down to scout suicide runs.
Tried out a few of the DLC missions for VC1. The scout mission was painfully easy, but good lord the lancer mission is kicking my ass. Those god damn reinforcements just don't stop coming, and it's hard to take the tanks out without perma-killing one of your lancers (which I go out of my way to prevent).
EDIT: Finished the rest of the demo (Both skirmishes + bonus mission). A few thoughts.
1. I have a feeling Grenadiers are gonna get annoying fast. They're not really broken, per se, but it'll be hard to accomplish much until they get taken out. For me, the best ways to take care of them were sneaking around them with scouts or just sniping them with Kai.
2. Surprised Minerva was playable. There seems to be a lot of work put into her animations and whatnot, so I doubt she's demo-specific. However, there's also another tank that'll join the squad at some point (given that there's a 2nd tank slot in the skirmishes) and only one more squad captain left. I hope she's the 4th captain, but I'm not holding out too much hope.
3. I hope this doesn't last long into the game, but the AI just seems...dumb. There's been a few occasions where a scout will completely miss me from maybe 15 ft. away. Probably the worst offender though was during the bonus mission. A scout snuck up behind my shocktrooper, but for whatever reason they just ran right past me instead of shooting me down. I wasn't even behind cover either; I was literally just standing in the open, and the scout just ran right past me and got gunned down almost right away.

It's like everything I loved about Octopath gameplay, but better. The combat is great, the bosses are fun and unique, the customization is incredible, and that job system...oh man. Nothing tops the feeling of getting a new job and playing around with it. It takes a lot to get me to like grinding, but BD managed to pull it off. Grinding out jobs just to see what else they can do is so much fun.
And the best part? I'm a little over 15 hours in and I ONLY JUST STARTED CHAPTER 3. So not only is this game fucking gigantic, but I then get to play Bravely Second once I finish it. Add in Torna: Golden Country and Valkyria Chronicles 4, and I don't know if I'll have any free time in the next month and a half.
I heard that the story wasn't that good, but I'm enjoying it so far. It's clearly not the focus, but it pulls it's weight when needed. Tiz is pretty boring and generic, but the other 3 party members are fantastic. It's rare that I'll laugh audibly when playing a game, but Ringabel has made me laugh at least 10 times so far.
The music, while not on the level of Xenoblade or Octopath, is still pretty damn great. Serpent Eating the Ground is obviously the highlight, but I haven't heard it in-game yet (which figures to make it that much better). Of the music I've heard so far, Love's Vagrant is my favorite.

I actually now have a new gaming tradition of naming everything "Ryuji". Doesn't matter the context. Main protag in P5? Ryuji. The raft name in Kingdom Hearts? Ryuji. Everyone's special in Bravely Default? Ryuji.
I also made sure to replace every text line with either "For real?!" or "Ain't that bad?!".

The biggest draw for Valkyria Chronicles is its combat, and it's fantastic as ever in VC4. The same basic additions apply, but there's a ton of balancing and new features. Scouts are nerfed significantly, while Shocktroopers got a huge buff. Grenadiers are much less OP than I thought they were, and Engineers are almost a necessity on any map now. The only disparity I noticed was between Lancer and Sniper: Lancers, while necessary, aren't that good, while Snipers are very good. Kai barely misses. Ever. The new additions are also really cool. The new tanks allow for a lot of customization regarding battle: Do you want more mobile transport with the Cactus, or a more offensive tank with the Glory? The Command feature is also really cool, albeit a bit OP near the end. Being able to refresh Minerva's entire AP gauge while also leading a pair of Lancers around became a staple in my VC4 toolbox.
The map design is also a huge step up. Long gone are the more generic environments. Each of the maps feels special in it's own right, whether it be the setting or the actual layout. The first map for the Battle of Siegval stood out in particular: A wide open field with only a few cliffs, and gun fire blasting overhead.
The gameplay holds up well, but what about the story? I'm happy to say that it's much, much better than VC1's. VC1 had a fine story, but it was pretty loose in a few areas. VC4 tightens everything up, and almost every action has some sort of consequence later on. There's only one part that felt tacked on, but everything else felt fluid and natural. There's one big, big moment I want to talk about though.
Spoiler: MAJOR, MAJOR STORY SPOILERS (VC1 AND VC4)
The one issue I did have was the Kai/Raz romance sub-plot. It doesn't fit Raz's character at all (The guy literally grabs Kai's ass with no hesitation in Chapter 3, but you mean to tell me he gets embarrassed by his feelings for her?), and it literally gets dropped right after it finishes up. They could've simply kept it as "I'm your friend for life" and it would've worked just as well, if not better.
The other twists and turns in the story are also really interesting, and it handles death quite well. The theme of "Regrets and consequences" is constantly brought up throughout the story, and it feels natural.
The presentation is also stellar. The storybook artstyle still holds up, and the music is just as great as it was before. A lot of music is re-used, but it still fits quite well. The usage of the VC1 Main Theme and Final Boss theme was very good.
The content in this game is also impressive. 18 chapters, a prologue, and 5 interludes. The chapters themselves are also much longer than VC1's. Then add in the skirmishes and the squad stories (which are an absolute joy, by the way) and you get a very good package of content. I'm looking forward to the DLC as well.
Overall, VC4 gets an easy 10/10 from me. It's one of the few games that managed to live up to every single one of my expectations, and I'd recommend it to anyone that likes JRPGs or strategy games.

As I said, it’s just completely out of character for Raz. Most of the time, he falls in the “lovable yet horny douche” category, and he and Kai are really close friends. Kai immediately decks him after and then just fights him 1v1, so it didn’t feel too weird st the time.
However, for whatever reason, Raz suddenly has a crush on her later on, confesses to her, and then the matter is almost entirely dropped and Raz goes back to being the old Raz. Had it just stayed as “close friends” the story would’ve been pretty much identical. It’s much less creepy given the context, but the romance doesn’t help matters at all.
I might as well use this post to talk about the final boss as well.

...um, I feel like the game is just a tad too long, or has pacing issues, to really be enjoyable? I mean, some of the revelations you get near the end are neat. But then they keep throwing more revelations out, like they are trying to one-up each other. Also, once again, the main couple of the game (Shulk and Fiora) get lauded as being obviously in love with each other, and Oh my god, it's just obvious to everyone that they'll end up together down the road.
Well, once again, I saw nothing that seemed to show me that early in the game. And adding Melia in for the sake of a Love Triangle was dumb. (And the less I say about Sharla backstabbing Melia, whom she previously told she'd support her feelings with Shulk, only to go back on those words... the better)
By the way, some of that equipment just looks dumb. Especially for the female members. The seventh party member shoving majority of her boobs into my face all the time, and I can even see her buttcrack in the 'speed' armor...

They change up the gameplay? What's different?
In the main game, the player only gets to control the Driver, the Driver wields the Blade's weapon except during special attacks, and the Blade is always in the back, providing buffs and the like. All special attacks are done by the Blade while the Driver just stands there.
In Torna, the player controls the "Vanguard" while the AI-controlled "Rearguard" has Arts of their own that they use. The player can have the Vanguard and Rearguard switch roles. The Driver and Blade have their own weapons and only share weapons for the Level IV special attack. For example, I might start out controlling Addam with Mythra as the Rearguard, but then I switch to Mythra with Addam as the Rearguard. Drivers and Blades both have their own special attacks, too.
I'll grant that it's possible to have different roles and still be equals, but mechanically, Blades came off to me as secondary to Drivers in the main game--the moons to a Driver's planet, if you will.

Anyway, it's now 1681 in my playthrough of Europa Universalis IV. Most of the African coast is controlled by the Roman Empire. Rome also has two colonial subjects: Roman Cemanahuac is a group of tropical islands west of Europe near the Aztec homeland, while Roman Lutriwita is a few large islands and several small islands to the south of the Spice Islands. Reclaiming all of Gallia, Hispania, and Britannia before the 1821 end date is unlikely; expanding too quickly has some rather nasty side effects, not to mention I've also set my sights on Africa. I actually have a benevolent reason for conquering Africa, though; I aim to abolish slavery the instant I have the option of doing so, and if I control all of the provinces that produce slaves as a trade good, I'll be able to essentially destroy the slave trade, too.

I'm trying to save money, and I was looking for a nice cheap RPG. Saw that Persona Q was only $20, so I decided to get because why the hell not. It's nothing like a Persona game, but I'm still having an absolute blast with it. The battle system is like a mix between Bravely Default and Persona, and it's a ton of fun. Trying to conserve your SP by exploiting weaknesses makes fights a lot more interesting than I thought they'd be. Exploring the labyrinths is a lot of fun too, and having a 100% filled out map is so damn satisfying. The story is pretty non-existant, but the fanservice is fantastic. Seeing the casts play off each other is really awesome, and it's led to a lot of pretty damn funny moments. Whether it be Teddie trying to hit on Aigis only to get shot at, or Kanji desperately trying to pet Korumaru, it's always really fun and cute. The traits of the characters are played up to the extreme (Chie only cares about meat, Yosuke can't get a girl to save his life, Akihiko wants to beat everything up and eat protein nonstop, etc) which I'm fine with. The music is absolutely superb too: The battle theme, Light Up the Fire in the Night, is by far my favorite Persona battle theme, and the themes in PQ2 look just as amazing (Invitation to Freedom sounds incredible).

Finished up Bravely Default. The big twist was certainly...interesting. It dragged on a bit, but once I leveled up to 99 and maxed all the jobs I had fun playing through all the bosses, despite the lackluster bosses. I'll definitely pick up Bravely Second at some point, but that may not be for a while yet.
I'm trying to save money, and I was looking for a nice cheap RPG. Saw that Persona Q was only $20, so I decided to get because why the hell not. It's nothing like a Persona game, but I'm still having an absolute blast with it. The battle system is like a mix between Bravely Default and Persona, and it's a ton of fun. Trying to conserve your SP by exploiting weaknesses makes fights a lot more interesting than I thought they'd be. Exploring the labyrinths is a lot of fun too, and having a 100% filled out map is so damn satisfying. The story is pretty non-existant, but the fanservice is fantastic. Seeing the casts play off each other is really awesome, and it's led to a lot of pretty damn funny moments. Whether it be Teddie trying to hit on Aigis only to get shot at, or Kanji desperately trying to pet Korumaru, it's always really fun and cute. The traits of the characters are played up to the extreme (Chie only cares about meat, Yosuke can't get a girl to save his life, Akihiko wants to beat everything up and eat protein nonstop, etc) which I'm fine with. The music is absolutely superb too: The battle theme, Light Up the Fire in the Night, is by far my favorite Persona battle theme, and the themes in PQ2 look just as amazing (Invitation to Freedom sounds incredible).

The story is actually alright once it develops a bit in Persona Q but yeah the exaggerated character traits can get a little frustrating at times. I really liked the combat system though admittedly I broke it. I wish there had been "multiple party" moments because there's too many characters I like to use all at once. That problem will be even worse in Persona Q2 when they add the P5 crew to the mix.

Yeah, it didn't take long for me to realize that Naoto is busted as hell. I actually took her out of the party due to how fucking OP she was. I've just been running a party of my favorite characters (Yu, Akihiko, Yukiko, Mitsuru, Yukari). I regret using Yukari so much, because she's a total bitch in Q. It's too late to swap her though.
The Clergyman boss was so fucking cool. I was laughing my ass off at how ridiculous he was. The over the top accent really sold it for me.
In the middle of the Evil Spirit Club (I think that's what it's called?). Those fucking doll things got me good. I pretty much threw my 3DS on the ground I was so damn scared. I was not expecting jumpscares in a Persona game, goddammit! I just reached the hospital part, so god knows how much worse it's gonna get.

I've been taking a stroll down memory lane these past few weeks with my old-ass N64 games. Lately it's been F-Zero X. Finally getting out of my comfort zone and expanding to difficulty levels outside of Novice. Expert shouldn't be too hard to complete as long as I consistently maintain a high velocity on the courses. Master, on the hand...I dread facing the AI on that difficulty.
Used to play that all the Time on the Wii with my mates! It's such a good game. Love it's music.

I also plugged my PSP back in and started a new file for Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3.
