Finished World 1 last night. Here's my haul: There is one neat mechanic that I've always appreciated. I'll put it in a spoiler tag just in case:

I do own the original cartridge, but it's at my mom's place and I won't spend 4 hours of travel time just to get it

I'm ready Won't be able to play today, though.

HOLY SHIT, THERE'S A SECRET CHARACTER TO PLAY IN THIS VERSION.

Sometimes you make it really difficult for me to like you.

Unbelievable. What a remarkable achievement this game is. The story may be incrediby confusing and highly vague, but the narrative and how everything is conveyed (sound, music, gameplay, setting, theming) is nothing short of masterful. Each character has its own tragic development to go through. One in particular made me tear up a little: And then there's 2B and 9S....

This game is positively bonkers Just reached Ending C and it raised more questions than it answered. I have way too many therories, ideas, questions to put into words...Guess I'll grab something to eat and continue playing

Ending B complete. And the game makes sure to let you know that there's more to come. Aside from the occasional technical hiccups (i.e. framedrops) this game is a masterpiece so far. Especially from a narrative standpoint. I'm pretty sure I have a lot more to discover. I can't make sense of anything right now... I love this Edit: Played some more, because I couldn't stop. Can't wait to see how everything will develop, but now it's time for sleep.

NieR: Automata's pacing is insane. I've been almost exclusively following the story quests for 5 hours today. The following is an excerpt of my thought process during that time: "Sweet boss, awesome fight." "HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT IS THIS?" "Excuse me? What the fuck?" "Yeah, sure...why not." "Phew, that was intense...FUCK ME SIDEWAYS." "HA, gotcha!" "Wow..." And then I just sat in silence for a while. This has been the most incredible action sequence I've ever experienced. Be it in video games, movies, books or whatever.

After 95 hours of Dragon Quest XI I'm a little burnt out by that game. The Platinum trophy can wait I've spent 5 hours with NieR: Automata and here are my thoughts: hard mode sucks - as many of you know I absolutely love difficult games but this is just a one-hit-KO-fest; I hate that shit - I turned down the difficulty and it's much better, still challenging but not unfair and being able to use the lock-on is probably how the game is meant to be played; not being allowed to use it in hard mode makes that difficulty even worse the game is nuts absolutely crazy but so cool - fought an opera singer boss just now and it was so fucking awesome the music is spectacular setting and story seem right up my alley with AI/machines and all that jazz the "name" 2B always reminds me of Shakespeare

Bought the Megan Man X Legacy Collections 1 and 2. Started playing Mega Man X and got my ass handed to me. I remember playing/beating the SNES version some time ago. How can I suck so bad at this now?

Just now. My reaction: What the fuck...

Well, there was a power outage just now in our street. I rebooted my PS4 and it had to rebuild its database. Turns out that everything I did with the console today is lost. It's not that bad, though. I only installed NieR: Automata, downloaded patches for two other games and lost save files for NieR and Doom. They didn't get uploaded unfortunately...lost about 2 hours of progress in both games. Phew, it was a wee bit scary

Wow, the game just kicked my ass up, down, left and right. This prologue is tough. A little annoying that you have to start from the very beginning when you die. Played it twice so far. My first attempt ended with a little toy soldier killing me because I didn't use the dodge button. In the second try I was a moron again...after getting hit once by a huge, rotating shit-fuck-of-death I jumped right back into it. Nice one, drahkon, really proud of you. Anyway, the whole time I got better with every button press. Pretty sure I can beat the prologue soon once the combat really clicks. Edit: Third time's a charm. Had to start a new save file but I managed to beat the first section. I'm missing an ending now, though, since I haven't died. But I know that there will be a chapter select so I hope I can get this ending eventually.

The game arrived Going to start now. Of course on hard difficulty. Very Hard doesn't sound like a lot of fun when you can die in one hit. "This game does not feature auto saving. Play the game to find out how to save." Ok, thanks for letting me know

Here’s the list of games that I’ve completed in 2018. Some of them have been released in 2017 or earlier but they still are in the run for my top 5 games this year. Ghost Recon Wildlands Shadow of the Beast Lara Croft GO Ni No Kuni II God of War Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy Overcooked Zero Time Dilemma Vostok Inc. Prey Dead Cells Yoku’s Island Express Celeste Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Dragon Quest XI Following are the top 5 games I’ve played this year: #5 – Ni No Kuni II – A lovely JRPG. Way too easy, but great nonetheless. #4 – Ghost Recon Wildlands – This one was quite a journey. Played it with my best friend for a long long time in co-op but after a year we managed to get the Platinum. It was a great experience. Lots of laughs have been had. #3 – Zero Time Dilemma – The conclusion to the Zero Escape series and a bloody good one. #2 – Celeste – Wonderfully difficult platformer with a surprisingly emotional story. #1 – Dragon Quest XI – The perfect JRPG. Even the lack of variety in songs could reduce my enjoyment. The thing is: I haven’t even gotten the Platinum, yet, but I still can say that this is definitely my favourite game of the year – maybe ever.

Ah, a good old H-o-T grinding story. Always great to read. And it gets better.

Found another offer for 25.50€. It usually still costs somewhere between 35 and 40€ around here. The German version is hard to find. With shipping, importing it from the UK would still cost me between 22-25€.

It's currently 27,50€ on eBay for the UK version. I'm soooo tempted, even though I'm completely absorbed by Dragon Quest XI. Has anybody played the DLC, yet? Would you say it's worth waiting for the Yorha Edition (will be 40€ and comes out in Febuary) or is the game pretty much a complete experience on its own?

The PDC World Darts Championship is on free TV. The other big tournaments are broadcast on paid for sports channels. I have to say I'm not too happy with the audience this year. They have been quite disrespectful more than once now...it's a shame.

You can get some of your PS4 stats right here. My first game: Don't Starve 5878 hours spent with 282 games my three most played games: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - 650 hours Call of Duty: Black Ops III - 568 hours and...surprise: Call of Duty: WWII - 448 hours I've earned 4469 trophies since the PS4's launch 56 Platinum 347 Gold 936 Silver 3130 Bronze apparently my rarest trophy is Dangerous Golf's Platinum; only 134 people earned it. Meh, it was an easy one Ok, thanks Sony. Now make those stats available on the PS4 without a video.

Haven't been here in a long time. I'm not really drunk but I am on my way to reach that point. Anyway. Dragon Quest XI will hopefully arrive tomorrow. If not, I will lose my shit. Darts is cool. My life is good. I love you all.

IIRC Germany had the largest viewership last year in this tournament. (maybe it was only for the final, no idea). Hopp is still young (heck, he's 22...7 years younger than me ). I think with enough time, practice and experience he could rise up to be a top competitor. Agree. I actually liked how Dekker psyched himself up during the match. It was pretty much a big "fuck you" to the audience

I was very annoyed with the crowd during Dekker's and Ashton's match. Yes, you can cheer as loud as you want for one player, but booing when it's the other one's turn and cheering when he misses his darts...no class. It was a great match, though. Ashton started incredibly well but Dekker came back just as impressive. Shame that Martin Schindler lost but he said his nerves got the better of him. He had his chances but was too nervous. Can't blame him, though. It was his first match in Ally Pally...of course you're nervous
