Games You've Bought 2018

Lol nah, FFXII seems a bit pricy for a PS2 remaster and I'm more interested in a game I haven't already played. Besides, I'm coming out of Tokyo Xanadu and Cold Steel 2 is just a couple weeks away. Playing another long-ass JRPG between the two doesn't seem like the best idea.

Eh, I'd say for £28 (at least price seems to be showing over here atm) it's pretty solid. It's a really good remaster, in both upscaling the existing assets quite well (it was already a good looking PS2 game) and adding a bunch of great QoL improvements on top of a pretty dang solid game.

 

Agree with the latter though. I'd been umming and arring over getting P5 or Cybersleuth with payday cash before the current PSN sale wraps up but eventually figured no to adding another long game to my list. Especially as I've still got FFXII to wrap up.

If you guys know anything about me, you know I love Dragon Ball. It's been a passion of mine going back oh well probably two months now. So needless to say I was excited for this game. I'm not great at fighters but this is pretty welcoming to new players. Loving it so far.......

GAME OF THE YEAR!!!

Was trying to hold off buying any more games for as long as I could but this had been beckoning to me for months. Plus, I've started to sell off games I probably won't touch again.

I don't know much about the Legend of the Five Rings universe (other than it using made up names that translate into silliness) and have no interest in the CCG/LCG (I forget which) but this game sounds ace; accusations of cultural appropriation aside.

 

It sounds like the big old Game of Thrones board game stripped down to its perfect, quicker-playing ideal, focusing solely on area control. It sounds very basic, in that you take turns putting out tokens to invade or defend areas but there are all sorts of wrinkles in the way of asymmetrical powers, unique clan tokens, special abilities if you control certain regions, shinobi attacks from anywhere, raiding to make areas worthless, bluffs, etc. And it looks purdy.

I too bought things on sale on Amazon.

Hori pads were £16/pop which is a trillion times better than the £50 a full on DS4 goes for and now means I can do 4-player games with siblings and, as did the other day, at work.

They're small, ideally aimed at children. The R2 is a bit funky but otherwise you get used to them quite quickly. Especially if you're playing the rule of "it's my PS4 I get the DS4".

 

Hidden Agenda was also from Amazon for £5, which is pretty dang decent price. Idea being it'll be a good game to play with family (maybe) as an alt to movies.

 

And Street Fighter was cos I have zero fighting games, I know it had the update recently, and to flesh out my selection for taking PS4 to work. Where I was promptly asked if I had WipEout Omega and I don't and now I'm like "fuck I should have got WipEout Omega".

Maybe later.

 

Oh I guess on a board game front I picked up:

Neat little game, great for kids too and relatively small in size (which I do like). And for £7 can't really go wrong. (I saw a video listed on on YT the other day for a board game with 150 plastic miniatures in it and all I could think was "damn that's gonna be a £200 board game".

Are the Hori Mini Gamepads actually quite small?

 

I was honestly looking into one simply for how the D-Pad is designed. As much as I like the DS4, I don't like using it for actual directional movement. It's fine when games use Up, Down, Left, and Right as say shortcuts or quick equip functions. Yet, the way it's design hurts my thumb if I actually have to use it for constant character movement.

I got myself Titanfall 2 on PC.

 

I forgot how awful Origin is. I bought the digital code on Amazon because screw trying to add card information on that mess. Even when I got the game in, I tried downloading it and Origin asks me if I want to download Origin. WTF, I'm already in Origin, but the other option is to open Origin. I had to go to the Games tab and that's where I could download the actual game.
