Virtues Last Reward was an absolute rollercoaster in the end Holy Moly!
So happy with how everything turned out and so excited to see the conclusion in ZTD!
(I’ll PM my impressions tomorrow as it’s a bit late and I have lot’s to talk about )

Nice man! Both of those games sound perfect for Christmas! I played a good amount of Melody of Memory over the weekend and oh boy, it's so good! I knew I was going to buy this game as soon as it got announced but I didn't know just how much I was going to enjoy it. Kingdom Hearts has such amazing music to a game that puts all the attention on the music is fantastic. It's such a joy playing songs from the entire series while reliving all of the fond memories I have from each game. I look forward to you getting your hands on it so we can discuss your thoughts on it and see how my feelings towards it progress.

I'm really excited for Age of Calamity as well! The original Hyrule Warriors was really cool and I can't wait to get some more story from the world of Breath of the Wild! I'm pretty much on a media blackout of that game so I look forward to discovering what the game has to offer.

I'm right there with you on learning to be patient when it comes to all kinds of things, including gaming. I don't even have my child yet but while preparing for his arrival I am learning to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way to play some games while balancing time with my wife. With all the financial costs associated with a child it's been harder to find room in the budget for games but luckily with some overtime opportunities at my job I've been able to set some money aside for some games. Those games being Melody of Memory, Age of Calamity, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. All three of these will definitely keep me busy well into next year!

I feel the same way about PS5! I would love to get one with Demon's Souls as well. Doesn't look like I will be getting my hands on one until sometime next year, maybe not even until Holiday 2021. Give some time for the library to grow while focusing on some of the many games I still have yet to play on current gen!

Hey man! Do you intend on picking up Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory?

As you could probably tell I haven't been gaming much lately but today I am getting both Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory! Assassin's Creed is mainly for the wife since she really wants to watch me play it. Melody of Memory obviously for me and I am excited to play it! Did you try out the demo?

The Switch version of FoMT is pretty loyal to the original, so if you liked the original game I am sure you'd enjoy it :> it changed a few things like how to max out the friendship of your farm animals, but otherwise everything stayed the same!

You're welcome! There is no escape from XIV, it pulls us all back in eventually.

Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing that Heavensward style again too!
Very interested to see how the combat plays out in 16 as it looks a bit more Bayonetta / Devil May Cry than FF7R / 15.
I thought 7R was the perfect mix of old and new but since where getting 7R2 anyway I’m glad they’re mixing up the main series yet again.

I was really into Destiny 2 through Forsaken but started to brake off just after Shadowkeep launched. I think the fact it was a returning destination and the story was more of a set up for Beyond light / Pyramid Ships was a tad on the weak side. (Course they just broke up for Activision at this point too so that must of effected development)

Really hoping Beyond Light pulls me back for the long term however, Europa looks fantastic and the cosmodrome returning is a great nostalgia hit - plus the removal of old content / streamlining the experience feels like a great move imo. Can’t wait for next week


Yeah I always get a tad worried when I’m posting about the Zero Escape games because even the smallest give away mite be a huge plot point of the story haha, so a PM is a great idea (I have so many theories atm)

You should definitely play-through it again... - I’m currently playing it at the weekends due to work, but man I just can’t stop thinking about each day!

'Tis the season!

That’s a triple whammy of amazing games if I’ve ever seen one

Will you be starting a new character for Beyond light or are you just going right into the expansion?
I’m pushing towards a new play-through at the mo just starting what is pretty much D3 from the Cosmodrome again is going to bring back so many memories

Great FFXVI theme! Can’t fault anything I’ve seen so far, the world, characters, history, music! and that fact that it’s the Heavensward team is incredibly exciting!

Plus we’re getting 7 Part 2 and a XIV expansion too. Square and really spoiling us!

It's neat! I think? I'm not too sure how I feel about it yet. It's challenging, though. At least I'm finding it challenging (or perhaps a bit grindy?). Kind of hard to explain, but worth checking out.

That's the trailer.

I mean... Action RPG Zelda set in an MMO on a moon?
