I finished Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. The first didn't age as well as I remembered it. I thought it had excellent level design and now it just didn't feel as good. The platforming feels very imprecise and I can't tell if it is the game or my old PS4 controller. NGS2 is a game I had no recollection of playing. I remember nothing about it my first play through. It's certainly boss heavy. Now, on to Ninja Gaiden 3 , a game ive never played at all.
Finished Ys IX: Monstrum Nox today! Hard to believe I've been playing this series for 32 years!!

What did you think of Days Gone?

is there a recent game in the series someone could check out if they were interested in checking it out? I played Y's 1 & 2 on Turbo Graphic 16, but that's my only experience. It was okay, but I have a feeling it's on an accurate depiction of the series these days.
It had a lot of great ideas and I enjoyed it but near the end I just wanted to get it done already...
I played it after Ghost of Tsushima, so anything else would have paled in comparison.

I think Memories of Celceta was the first to have the modern gameplay systems in place, then came Lacrimosa of Dana (XIII); if you can get either cheaply, go for it. They all make references to the games that came before, but they're all also self contained stories in themselves, so you really don't need to play one before the others...

Congrats! So fast!
Now playing the ultra beautiful and Hollow Knight-like ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights!
A funny thing happened with GTA V on my third play through. I really enjoyed it this time. When I first bought it for the PS3, I felt it was just more of the same, similar missions, samey outrageous characters, and I hated Trevor with a passion. I felt like I moved on from that kind of game, especially after really enjoying the more realistic approach of GTA IV.
I bought it for the PS4, feeling that I didn't give it a fair shake the first time. I felt a little better about it, but still my thoughts were pretty much the same. Now, with the Game Pass, I downloaded it for my third play through. Everything just clicked. There is so much content, even way more that I missed the previous two times. I enjoyed the missions, the characters (still hate Trevor though), the story snd the overall outrageous nature of the game. I experienced way more of the city, finding areas that I never knew existed and playing missions that I never did before. Mostly, it clicked for me this time. I chose to kill Trevor this time because he still bothers me.
Wow, how do you hate the only good thing about GTAV?!
I also take it personally, Trevor is my spirit animal!
(The rock textures are great, too, actually.)
Gagan said:Since this I'm at 21 games beaten.

Just beat Doom Eternal again, but not gonna count it till I finish up the DLC with it.
I got to like 25, I hate video games again.
I'm only really playing Strive n Multiplayer shooters right now lol
beat AER Memories of Old. I bought it very cheap on a whim, which turned out to be the correct price. You're a human who can turn in a bird, which is pretty handy when your world consists of a bunch of floating islands in the sky. The game is only a couple of hours long and is basically a walking simulator where the walking is replaced with flying. The flying iitself is pretty interesting, but there's very little else to the game. You're told to fly somewhere, you read some text, fly somewhere else, there's 3 or 4 puzzle dungeons and that's it. The overworld is pretty enough in a low-poly kind of way, but there's no interactivity, no ennemies. There's some wildlife sprinkled through the world, but it doesn't even react to your presence. The story itself can be summarized in one or to lines of text and it doesn't even answer all the questions it poses. 4/10
Beat Stonefly. I was looking forward to this as it's by the same team that made Creature in the Well, which was very unique both visually and in its gameplay. The graphicaly style and concept of the game world are great, as is the minute to minute gameplay, with a lot of offensive options opening up over the span of the game to deal with the different types of bugs, but the game become too repetitive soon. You pilot a bug sized mech as you try to track down a mech that was stolen from you. The gameplay consists mainly of fighting other bugs over resources, to the point where story progression is gated behind looting resources, making you grind the levels too much. The game would have been better off if they brought it 2 hours down to 6 hours but got rid of all the grinding. The gameplay just isn't fun enough to carry the game, nor is the story sufficiently interesting. 5/10
Lucky bastard. I may add, but I've probably forgotten half the stuff I completed.
