Happenstance

Now I guess my final question for you guys is, should I be going back and playing 1 and 2 first? I've read that its perfectly fine to start with 3 and how it's the best one and there are no issues with story but as a lore guy, should I really be seeing this world from the very beginning? I have tried 1 before (I think I still own that Wii version with the red controller somewhere) and didn't necessarily get hooked enough to carry on past the first hour but I think it's possible.

I'm gonna have to stop reading these spoilers soon. Your fast catching up with where I left it.

Yeah that was why I was hoping it would be the same in-store. Game now charge something like £4.99 shipping though I think so it doesn't work out any cheaper than if I use one of the quicker places.

I was going to try and buy it in town yesterday but it's a lot harder to buy games there than it used to be so no luck. I'll just order it online later.

Just finished watching Godzilla Minus One myself. I'll also post some proper thoughts later but I can absolutely say I loved it. Massive smile on my face anytime the classic Godzilla music hit!

Yeah I like the look of the first one a lot less. The new style for Second Story R is the big draw for me.

I'm thinking maybe Xenoblade Chronicles 3. There's always Sea of Stars as I never bought that on another platform yet I guess and possibly that Star Ocean The Second Story R I loved the look of but wasn't convinced by the combat in the demo.

Well my plans to start another RPG have not gone well. Decided to go with Saga Frontiers as it's short then it just seemed to run terribly. One of those older games where if you use the run button your character shoots across the screen with very little control and it didn't look great either so I've dropped that one. Went with Chrono Cross next and now the slowness of everything is getting to me I think I might just have to go with something more modern.

Well Liverpool v Man U was incredibly frustrating...

Just completed the story. As I said, lot of charm but not really on the same level as later Mario RPGs. Found it was getting a bit tedious by the end as well. Glad I've finally played it though.

F.A.Qs

I tend to prefer more linear games anyway. I find it works better for a tighter narrative.

Ooh nice, the Spider-Man 2099 omnibus finally got a restock so I managed to snag a copy

Finally managed to catch the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth controller during one of it's discounts so got that coming today now as well. I was using the 8bitdo Pro 2 which worked perfectly fine but it will be nice to be able to turn the Switch on while docked with this controller. I've been meaning to get one for a while.

Started playing Mario RPG yesterday. It's definitely charming and I'm enjoying it so far but I think the humour definitely is better in later games from what I've seen so far. Hoping the music gets a bit more varied at some point as well, I'm already getting sick of the same thing over and over again.

I ended up buying Frontier. I seem to be in a very JRPG mood at the moment so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I haven't started it yet but when it first came out I heard nothing but high praise and I loved FTL which they did prior to it.

I was looking at an entry point for the saga games myself yesterday as some are in the sales. Settled on either Romancing Saga 3 or Saga Frontier from Reddit posts.

Went back through my old lists and filled in a few gaps to find my old gotys: 2009 - Uncharted 2 2010 - Mass Effect 2 2011 - Batman Arkham City 2012 - Mass Effect 3 2013 - Tomb Raider 2014 - South Park: The Stick of Truth 2015 - The Witcher 3 2016 - Hitman 2017 - Yakuza 0 2018 - Spider-Man 2019 - ? 2020 - Final Fantasy VII Remake 2021 - Mass Effect Legendary Edition 2022 - Rogue Legacy 2

Grabbed some more games in todays eshop sale: Final Fantasy VII (Apparently I just like to own this everywhere) Scott Pilgrim vs the World Into the Breach Vampire Survivors (Doesn't feel like a handheld without this so another double dip) Chrono Cross

Probably a good idea for a thread there. Interesting to see them all listed.

I use PSPrices email notifications for any wishlist stuff

Ah nice thanks. Google lied to me then! Time to see what else I own!

Is there no way to see your previously purchased games on the eshop? I can look at my purchase history but that only goes back a year. I'd completely forgotten I already owned Dead Cells on there until I happened to look at it browsing the store.

Not surprisingly my day of gaming didn't give me enough data for the year in review site
