apparently this game released what are hikarin's thoughts on it? should i pull the trigger?

started playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night today, my first ever Castlevania game. i spent the first half hour or so without knowing you could cast spells or use sub weapons, and i would have continued through the game without them if my friend hadn't told me about them. this game is fun but does not explain ANYTHING...

>>1757 Symphony of the Night is legendary but it laid the groundwork for better Metroidvanias IMO. My favorite is Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

On my armored core playthrough. Already finished the main storylines both with Chrome and Murakumo, so I'm gonna see if I can fight Nine Ball. I doubt it, by the time I reach to him my health is already gimped to hell and back, but something's got to give.

nineball defeated, now doing project phantasma

>>1757 I mostly played Aria of Sorrow, great game I liked this song from SotN

>>1761 my favorite part is when you cast the spell dark metamorphosis and he says "DARK METAMORPHOSIS" and for some reason that's the only spell that does this.

>>1762 they put effort into that

After some months, maybe a year, I finally got the real ending from Action Doom 2. It's a first person beat-em-up that takes a few queues from Streets of Rage and other games. The story can be quite nasty however, so if you can stomach the places it could possibly go, it's a really good game. And the real ending is worth it https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/123821-action-doom-2-urban-brawl-reloaded/

>>1756 I'm having quite some fun with it, it still needs more content of course, but it actually exceeded a bit my expectations, I thought it was going to be way more bare bones, almost like a demo, considering how convoluted the development seemed to be, but there's already quite a lot to explore and to do. I've been playing in an anarchy server I found, want to play together some time?

>>1765 >I've been playing in an anarchy server I found, want to play together some time? I might have to consider it honestly, it's hard for me to keep track of online games due to me not playing that much really. It happens with a group of friends I got that they jump from game to game every few weeks and I assume this would be the same really.

>>1765 What server are you playing on?

"Finished" with Armored Core Phantasma. The remaining battles in the arena are, however, really pushing it in.

Finished Dark Souls 1 the other day. It was definitely an interesting journey

>>1775 Favourite location in the game?

>>1776 Probably the Castle inside Anor Londo. Silver knights are great to grind and they drop good gear. It also feels rewarding to get inside the first time as its a struggle. Also it contains the best bosses in the game and Gwenevere

would anyone like to play heartopia

>>1778 what is heartopia?

Gta Vice City. The radios in this game are the best thing

>>1779 a chinese mobile gacha animal crossing where you can hold hands

I forgot to pick up my daily rewards in Arknights Endfield and I want to sleep, that's all.

I know this is a bit norman of me but I have been playing quite a bit of Overwatch recently. They have made some good changes recently and the next season is changing quite a lot, I am looking forward to it.

i find it funny overwatch 2 just became overwatch 1 very funi

>>1755 Don't forget MoA Disc 2 when you'll get to it! It's almost a PvP simulator!

I have been playing a lot of project zomboid recently and build 42 MP has been very enjoyable

>>1786 what all has been changed in this update? i have beard good things but i don't actually know what they changed lule.

Been playing a ton of Sea of Thieves and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition recently, I 100% the basic Hyrule Warriors on the WiiU ages ago when I was more of a shut-in so it's fun playing with all the new (to me) DLC and characters. SoT has been on a serious decline though in terms of update quantity and quality so I've been kinda petering out on that and have been trying to look for a new multiplayer game to sink my teeth into but I'm really picky about that sort of thing.. >->

>>1778 this is actually kinda cool wth

On Project Phantasma, I can't get past the 18th AC unit. The AI is just too OP. Sadistic just flies like a roided mosquito and his attacks are way too strong. I can't fight him on equal arsenal without compromising mobility, and even then these AC units really do have gear that is impossible to use as a regular player. Also there is a mission where you're supposed to break some crates in a labyrinth. That can go fuck itself, the maze stages in the first game were already bad, that one is just impossible really. That being said I dunno if I should jump to MoA without finishing the arena here. But I am out of ideas.

Update, I got to the top 10 on the arena. I had to change the location to the caves where there's no room to fly, but other AC units were also ridiculously easy afterwards. As of now I am carrying two back weapons that allow extra ammo + the small shotgun. Also I equipped some legs that give you more speed than the rest while sacrificing defense, but since the units at this point just annihilate 3k AP with one single hit, the extra movement speed is critical to survive. A wide FC also has been crucial for times where I need to have the enemy on the corner of my peripheral vision, while also able to hit them. This game has a lot of things to like, but I will not lie, some segments are real hairsplitters.

been getting drunk alone at night and playing Slay the Spire. it is a good game and a fun time waster. basically all of the character addons on the Steam workshop are anime characters.

Well, I made it, I cleared the arena on Project Phantasma. It may feel a bit like cheesing, but the absolute movement these units were pulling lead me to using an AC unit that would allow me to circlestrafe around these enemies. I think the main issue the game has as a flaw, is that it's not easy to identify which builds are actually good, and which are non-viable. This one was really fun, but it wasn't that fun figuring out what was going to be useful, and what wasn't. Overall, the last fights really boosted the game a few points up. Really really liked it.

Oh and I just figured out there is actually an "easy mode" you can unlock if you fail enough times in the game. Gives you a much more lenient boost, a ranged melee attack, improved radar, ability to use heavy weapons without being stationary... Why would that be unlockable after being a shit player!? Wouldn't it be better to unlock that by actually playing properly? Either way, seems like I've beaten both games on a secret "hard mode", so I guess that speaks more of my skill level, haha. But it'd have been neat to have a much bigger arsenal in a regular playthrough.

I got to floor 7 in rengoku 1 today and noticed that a room I was in had a particularly interesting shape
