I never did dabble much in themes, but I guess I should. I wouldn't mind a Xenoblade or Bravely Default theme. Might have to check them out now. I do have a Valkyria Chronicles theme on my PS4.
You know me, I like RPGs and SRPGs, especially the Japanese ones. Also adventure games, classic arcade games.
And yes, I do like fighting games as they're where I make my rare appearances online. I've always loved the character designs and the movesets.
I never have been into sports or FPSs, though there are exceptions to the latter.
This was a good update, and I also appreciated that in the "prologue" (classic levels) that they included the Cement Factory, which was cut from most home versions including the NES version.
I definitely want the Switch, and Gravity Rush 2 is also on my wish list. Man, so many games. On the 24th alone three games I really wanted came out.
Mad props to your Metal Gear Collection, my friend. That is a collection after my own heart. Konami should be sending you Christmas cards every year. :)
I enjoy the Tales Series. Symphonia is my favorite, natch. Hearts R was my trigger for getting a PSTV so I could play it on my big screen.
Anxiety and depression suck ass.
I've really enjoyed FFXV. It was certainly better than XIII, but I think I like it a little better than X, even. The closest analogy I can think of is that it is to XIII in my mind what XII was compated to X, in that XII and XV were the FF games I really wanted from their respective generations. I'm glad it's doing well, especially if the rumors of a XIV helmed by Hiroyuki Ito turn out to be true.
And like Catherine says, I like the main characters even though it would have been cool to have a woman or two available as permanent party members. Square Enix really nailed down the chemisty between Noct, Gladio, Ignis, and Prompto. My favorite is Ignis.
I don't think the "real Versus XIII" will ever come out. I believe Square Enix has distanced itself from the Fabula Nova Crystallis concept for good, after two sequels to XIII and then FF Type-0 (which was a good game in its own right). It wasn't especiallly well received.
Scalebound was the only Xbox One exclusive I was interested in. Everything I want is on PS4 or Nintendo. A lot of what I want is only on PS4 or Nintendo. No point in getting Xbox now.
When I was a teenager and limited to 2-3 games a year, I wrung every bit of gameplay out of my games. I'm a long way off from my game-buying peak in my early 20s, but my game library sometimes still has the decadent excess of a Roman banquet. I limit myself to a handful of games, most of them RPGs, yet I don't finish a lot of them. If my wife and I aren't too tired in the evenings, then we go out and spend time together instead of playing video games. And these days, my latest gaming hobby is gaming videos. Since I don't see a whole lot of point in posting videos of games that pretty much everybody knows about, I stick with obscure games or trying to do really cool stuff like getting the 30K bonus in the shooting coaster in FFVII or winning Valkyria Chronicles battles in one or two turns. My wife even got me a game capture box for my birthday.
I enjoy travel, and with that comes photography of interesting things I see on the road. I took a lot of pictures of New York from the top of the World Trade Center. I have a DSLR camera but I haven't become dedicated enough to worry about making artistic photos, LOL.
I am ready for the cold weather to be done. It's cold where I'm at. When I was in Arizona visiting my parents around Thanksgiving, people were still swimming in their pools. That's where I want to be.
I've said it before, but for me the big draw of GTA was the ability to cause havoc, which is what set it apart from other video games. Once it became clear how sharply segregated the story missions the designers wanted you to do were from the day to day havoc, to the point where merely having your car sprayed would erase all of your misdeeds no matter how great they were, the novelty wore off for me.
