Downloading the Crypt of the Necrodancer DLC right now. In preparation I've been listening to its songs and goodness me...they are awesome. The synths, the tempo, the drums. Love it

Started playing Crypt of the Necrodancer again and got reminded of how awesome the soundtrack is.

25 million in one week...that is insane.

What constitutes a Hypermode run? (did I use that verb correctly? I never used it before )

Don't have a favourite legend, yet. It's great that all of them are balanced very well. Except maybe Mirage - community says his ultimate is rather weak. He will definitely be the first Legend I'll unlock, though. Only a few more levels to go My mates and I managed to win 4 times today. The final battles were always incredibly intense. Just now I finished second after my two random teammates left during the drop...played a little defensively but still managed to get 4 kills. Wiped a whole squad with perfect execution of Wraith's Into the Void skill. I'm pretty sure I will pay money for this game once the Battle Pass drops in March. Already had so much fun with this and I can see myself playing for quite a long time.

4 hours in, I just battled a rare mirage (couldn't defeat it, as I was too weak) and this was the battle music: Hunter's Chance is one of my absolute favourite FF tracks and this remix is sooooo good. Yes, I love the fan service. Gameplay is top notch. I like the battle system, mirages and everything that goes with them. The Vita version suffers from a lot of loading screens (I assume these aren't in the PS4 version?) and the occasional frame rate hiccup. Even with overclocking enabled. Doesn't impact the experience, though.

Just to piss off @Hero-of-Time some more I started yet another game on my Vita. I gave back the copy of Dragon Quest Builders and instead borrowed World of Final Fantasy from my mate. Put in two hours and I think I have finally found the single-player game I'm going to stick with. It's charming, funny (Lann is such a goofball), lovely to look at and the gameplay seems to be right up my alley.

Pretty sure something like that will be added in the future. Just read a post on reddit how the "no-marketing strategy" was perfect for this. If this game had been announced weeks/months ago with something like "not Titanfall; f2p; battle royale" it would've been dead on arrival. I have to agree. This was the best approach the devs could've taken.

Demo is out now!

My faith that people here finally realize what a good game is. And it's freaking 80% off. BUY IT!

Buy Crypt of the Necrodancer. EVERYONE BUY IT.

Spent the last 2 hours playing this non-stop. It's so much fun. Managed to win after my two teammates bailed on me 3 minutes into a match. Had to camp a little and pick my fights, but I ended up winning with 5 kills It's very impressive how polished Apex Legends already is. Respawn definitely deserve all the praise they're getting. However, there are still some features I (and the community) would like to see. But hey, it's only been two days

I'm actually trying to find a single player game that I want to focus on. Non of the games I'm playing right now manage to grab me 100%.

Hm... I just finished Chapter 1. I think I rushed it, because I wanted to get better equipment early. I missed 4 challenges. Only managed to do the speed challenge. I'll take my time with Chapter 2 and actually create a nice city. My first town was horrible

Sadly no An XCOM-style strategy game would be a perfect fit...not that I want that, but it's likely to happen.

Borrowed this from a mate. And I'm not feeling it. Reached the first chapter's boss and it's just annoying. I actually found everything annoying. Building, gathering, fighting, quests, exploration...everything annoyed me. Does it get better with later chapters?

Strategy game. Calling it now.

First win With total strangers. It was so much fun. I think I carried out my offensive role pretty nicely

Never played it. I guess I wouldn't like the story of Bravely Default.

Never played it. I guess I'd like the story of Bravely Default, as well.

Played two matches just now. First one went like this: Landed, found a weapon, immediately fucked up and died Second one: My squad and I actually played very well and as a team. The ping-system is really good. It's easy to use and offers valuable information. Makes playing with randoms quite fun. We finished 3rd place. I have to say: This is quite a surprise. Gameplay seems very polished, runs like a charm and it's fun as heck. Wasn't so sure about it being squad-only and "hero-based" but mymy...I'm intrigued. They already have a roadmap: I can see myself pay some money for this. Really hope it'll follow a similar approach to Fortnite, i.e. pay once for a Battle Pass and be able to earn enough "currency" to get the next one through it. I do hope we'll see duo- and solo-modes eventually, though I'm cautiously optimistic.

@Hero-of-Time in case you're interested: I just finished Chapter 1. Great stuff. I don't know if it was possible to explore the town. I actually didn't bother because the story was so engaging and suspenseful. The characters are great and every interaction seemed to be meaningful. Kiryu is in trouble, or rather... So far, I thoroughly enjoy it. Gonna be interesting to see when and what kind of mini-games open up. The only thing I really know about the Yakuza series is: It's wacky, insane and totally bonkers.

I might vote, but I don't have access to the other platforms, as well

It doesn't look too too bad, in my opinion. Got bored of Fortnite after a (very enjoyable) year with it and Blackout still suffers from annoying bugs, so I'll give this one a whirl tomorrow. Obviously, I'm disappointed that Titanfall 3 isn't happening but maybe Apex Legends will turn out to be fun. However, I don't like how there is no solo game mode and squads are only 3 players...weird design choice.
