What Games Are You Playing?

[Ian Wolf]

My brother and I have been playing Gen 1 Pokemon with our own defined version of Nuzlocke rules. I managed to defeat the champ just now with a team of four: Venusaur, Pidgeot, Snorlax and Lapras.

I finished up Bully Scholarship Edition. Had some glitches to contend with but this is a short and sweet game with a great soundtrack. A shame the ending feels so abrupt.

I’m now playing through Persona 2: Innocent Sin (The PSP edition) via my PS TV.

Completed Game #7 | Kandagawa Jet Girls (PS4)

With Sony being more restrictive on fanservice, Senran Kagura creator Kenichiro Takaki eventually decided to leave Marvelous for Cygames but before he left, he worked on one more project with Honey Parade Games called Kandagawa Jet Girls, which is also a multimedia project because there was an anime adaptation also (coming to the UK soon by MVM).

With Senran Kagura focused on being an action/musou type brawler, Kandagawa Jet Girls is a racing/shooter done in teams of two people. One person controls the Jet vehicle while the other shoots at other opponents or obstacles on the path. The idea of this game is actually pretty well executed as the concept works fairly well on the controls and gameplay, it's simple and adds a bit of uniqueness to the mix. I guess in a sense you could argue this is basically an anime version of Mario Kart: Double Dash.

The gameplay does have some flaws however. The level design is not varied enough and while they do offer tons of alternate paths and angles, it's pretty much the same locations and I feel they missed the opportunity to be a lot more wild on the settings. In addition, the difficulty is very easy for the most part against the AI. The controls work for the most part but drifting and turning feels imperfect and doesn't always work at its best. I feel that if the game did manage to get a sequel they should try and make the gameplay more fast-paced and improve its drifting mechanic like Ridge Racer and F-Zero to add extra fun and replayability to the mix.

That being said, the mini-games are super fun and I love them a lot. Fanservice games generally have what I like to call the 'punishment' mechanic which is pretty much why Sony is asking Japan to tone it down a lot - Kandagawa Jet Girls does not have this type and instead goes for different variety like cleaning a vehicle, mopping up puddles on a path, exercising on a machine and doing drift stunt work. There's no prodding anime girls like Senran Kagura had, though the girls' chests do jiggle which is perfectly fine by me. What I'm basically trying to say is that this game is a good example of how other fanservice games should have tackled their mechanics than being super ecchi and risk getting into infamous media mess. Slightly off-topic I know but as someone who loves fanservice I do want a good balance that doesn't make me feel too awkward when playing certain games these days (like Gal*Gun's main gameplay is great but the mini-games does make me question the decision making at times).

Anyway, back on the topic of things, Kandagawa Jet Girls has a nice variety of characters. You have the regular main girl who is cheerful, the rich drillhaired ohoho girl (my favourite), idol girls, foreign girls, shrine girls, gyaru girls and also a chubby girl which is not something you see every day in anime land. Voice-acting for each of the girls is also good and their banter during the race is nice. The story is mostly non-existent but it's short and doesn't overstay its welcome.

You can customise your character in terms of hairstyle, accessories, clothes and also their vehicles in terms of improving their speed and handling. The jet customisation is important if you want to complete the mini-missions in the story campaign. Each race has 3 stars, one for 1st place and the other two can be anything from not hitting a wall, not using the special weapon (Square), shooting a specific amount of balloons, a specific speed and various others. It's mostly doable without customisation and only 60% of the stars are needed for the trophies.

Overall, Kandagawa Jet Girls is not that bad of a game and for the price I paid which was £32 but came with first print items like the OST and artbook it's definitely been worthwhile. The game is short, about 15 hours overall or maybe less, but it's an easy Platinum trophy if you like trophy hunting.

Kandagawa Jet Girls is available to own physically (JP/US) and digitally on PlayStation 4 and also digitally on PC.​

[Furrek]

Oddworld: Soulstorm on PS5. I don't know yet if I like this game, or I just want to finish it and be done with it mostly because of bugs. Sometimes Sligs are facing only one direction and are not moving at all, so I need to either die or load checkpoint to proceed. The worse so far was

Spoiler

the Phat Station, when I was moving with a few Mukodons. The last one following me was catch by camera and it forced all of doors to shut down. Well, I was standing at this right moment at the doors and I was "merged" with the platform above me. When alarm shut down, for some reason my character was moved to a different place (the begin of area) and it forced me to checkpoint at place I was done with. It was so weird and I had to start over.

 

[Hunter_Killer]

Rabi-Ribi (third time, lol):

 

[Scrambled Valkyrie]

Just finished Yakuza: Like A Dragon on PS4. Excellent entry in the series in my opinion. I wasn't sure I would like the move to RPG gameplay from the traditional 3D fighting roots of the series (particularly since I've played every entry that came west since the PS2 era) but it was done really well. Also one of my favourite stories from the saga so far.

Last night I started the Lodoss game: Record of Lodoss war: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth on steam. It's really good! Metroidvania fans and Lodoss fans should really enjoy this. I hope it comes to consoles so non-PC players get to play it too! to be honest I don't game on steam much and I'd prefer it if it was on console myself but there was no way I was missing out on it.

 

[Geriatric hedgehog]

@Geriatric hedgehog I've stopped dead in my dandanronpa-series-playing tracks first thanks to the simulwatch but also to Nier. But I was actually playing Ultra Despair Girls first; are you skipping that one? I kinda want to get to the anime to see the conclusion to the original arc too but I can't pass on more Nagito...

Heh I only have the PS4 version with Danganronpas 1, 2 & V3 and have been playing them piecemeal since buying it five months back. Competition for the TV is high and I often get to play only after family is asleep, which means I also doze off whist playing heh. Not to mention competition with anime for my free time!

Don't have Ultra Despair Girls, so yeah skipped that (got the impression it wasn't all that relevant to the main story, but there is one episode dedicated to it in the anime) and just watched a summary of the story on YouTube. And yeah Nagito is an intolerable, bloody, creepy-@$$ character but I think he is actually beautifully realised given the effect he has on the audience! Watching the anime now and it seems to be doing a really good job of closing out the story, so would definitely recommend it. Good thing I realised soon after starting on V3 that it actually was not a continuation of the previous arcs' story, so that's on hold.

Speaking of Nier, I've got old man Nier & automata and eventually will get new Nier Replicant and hopefully try and bash those all out one after the other! Struggle to play games that aren't on the switch these days heh.

Yeah, I only have the PS4 versions as well, and actually I've had them for quite some time now but only recently took the time to try it out. It honestly took a while to get going, but when D1 got its hooks on me, it didn't let go. Loved that game! Same holds true for D2, which I actually didn't like as much as D1, but I still enjoyed a lot and much of it is due to Nagito!

I wonder if I should just watch a story summary like you, it's true that I'm eager to go back to that cycle of "oh so that's the first one to go! I wonder who's next... - oh damn, let's find out what happened" etc. It's extremely addicting! And eager to see the conclusion to the originals casts' stories.

As for Nier, oh man, what to say... If you really have limited time, maybe you should directly start with Nier Replicant instead of old man, they'll end up being the same game with the former being the definitive edition anyhow. I thought I loved Replicant more than Automata but now I find myself thinking a lot about A's stronger moments, and they're very strong. I'll refrain from details, but you've probably read stuff already/played Drakengard maybe.

 

[Geriatric hedgehog]

I haven't actually played any of the Drakengard nor Nier games and must have just missed the former's in my game-playing days, which is a shame as they sound right up my street. Very excited about Nier, good to know I don't necessarily need to play the original as will definitely save time (and I hear gameplay is disappointing in that as well). Maybe I'll even have a ps5 by the time I get to the Niers (have the Higurashi & Umineko games also lined up as per @Vincentdante recommendations).

I did really enjoy the Danganronpa games, and like you, preferred the first. Think the characters were more likeable in that but yeah, Nagito is special in the second in a nauseating way heh. Very interesting gameplay in relation to the mystery & courtroom mechanics (partly why I wasn't fussed about Despair Girls, given it's very different gameplay). Really makes me wish though that they would do something better written & more adult oriented with those concepts, maybe like in the vein of Garden of Sinners or the first half of Babylon, in game form.

 

[Scrambled Valkyrie]

In addition to still playing Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth I've also started Batman: Arkham Asylum (remaster version on PS4) was in a batman kind of mood after reading some bat-books and watching the animated series on blu ray. I think it holds up quite well (Played the PS3 version years ago but never got round to the sequels). Decided this time I would go through all 3.

 

[Scrambled Valkyrie]

I got "old man" Neir years ago as a freebie from a buddy. Never got round to it (along with so many other PS3 games). I'm not sure if it's worth playing considering all the acclaim replicant seems to be getting when the general consensus about the original was that you had to suffer some terrible gameplay mechanics to enjoy a good story. Would I be missing anything by skipping the original? Have been meaning to play Automata for some time.

 

[Geriatric hedgehog]

Never got round to it (along with so many other PS3 games)

Heh exactly the same for me, my videogame to-play-list has been gradually ballooning since before I got the PS4 as life just got a lot busier. Ah well, I think I will be exchanging sleep for game-playing to have a hope in denting that!

As for Nier, from what @João Gomes mentioned, I guess I'll be skipping the old man one unless there is a strong case to be made for playing that. If I had the time I'd even want to try and get the old Drakengard games to play on the PS2 but I remember reading their gameplay isn't great either.

 

[HWR]

I finished up Bully Scholarship Edition. Had some glitches to contend with but this is a short and sweet game with a great soundtrack. A shame the ending feels so abrupt.

I’m now playing through Persona 2: Innocent Sin (The PSP edition) via my PS TV.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin had a solid story but I wasn’t as much of a fan of the gameplay mechanics and difficulty level.

I’m now playing through Red Dead Redemption on XBox Series X. A great game though the Mexico missions feel repetitive in nature.

 

[Captaaainuniverse]

Might start on the first one now, but when I get more time I’m thinking American McGee’s Alice games. Origin has Madness Returns for cheap and the first game is pretty easy to get working with it as it used to be DLC and to get that working involves... one word in the game engine file. No wonder the don’t advertise any add ons for it anymore

 

[awadama]

I'm sick of all these games that have been clogging up my cupboard for years, so I've started on Tales of Zestiria.

It seems pleasant enough so far. Standard Tales stuff - I'm sure I'll have a nice time with it!

 

[Furrek]

Original War on PC. It's kinda old game (released in 2001) but it's one of the best RTS I ever played. There is an active community that helps with fixing bugs, does a new stuff, plays together You can get it for around $1 on sale. I recommend it for anyone who wants to play something really unique.

 

[ActionFaust]

Will probably do a bigger post talking about Arknights at some point but as they've just started the Episode 8: Roaring Flare event I figured I'd post my first 10 pulls on the new event banner featuring Mudrock and Rosmontis.

Received two new 6* operators (Mudrock and Hellagur) from this attempt. 6*s usually have a 2% recruitment rate so I was very shocked to see two of them in this lineup. Made another few attempts using leftover permits and the free daily permit and didn't get anyone too interesting. Will hold back from the banner for now just incase I recruit Rosmontis from the free daily permits but otherwise I'm not too bothered since she'll likely turn up in another banner sometime.

As it stands I now have 24 out of 32 6* operators. Much better luck than I have in most games of the genre.

 

[D1tchd1gger]

Much better luck than I have in most games of the genre.

You tried Princess Connect yet? From what I can gather is one of the best in terms of drop rates. I've got all but 3 of the 49 characters so far. Of the 3, 2 are from the original cast, which can be earned in ways other than the gacha, and 1 that's been introduced since that has to be pulled (as far as I can gather they eventually appear in the various other shops).

I did try PriConne a while back but the characters and story just didn't grab me tbh. I loved the anime but I can't say the same for the game. Great to hear about the gacha rates though.

but the characters and story just didn't grab me

I've only watched/read the first chapter of the story so far, too busy to doing all the daily missions, etc for that, but have watched most of the character stories as they give attribute bonuses and whilst there are characters that I don't like for one reason or another, there are also ones that I love. With such a big cast that's bound to happen as, I guess, they're trying to cater to different tastes.
