August-Octopath Traveler

August-Assassins Creed Origins

October-Dragon Quest 11

December-Spyro Reiginted Trilogy

I gonna stick with the 12 games a year goal. Its seems to help me finish games and stay motivated to do so.

I honestly cant say I hated any of these games. They all were enjoyable and fun. Well.....the Octo expansion will drive you up the wall so dont say I didnt warn you. I do have some favorites!

1.Dragon Quest 11-I absolutely love this game. Its characters were its most shining part and the fuckings twist at the end that starts post game was a mind fuck in itself. I didnt see it coming and it added another good chunk of hours to playing the game. When this game comes to Switch Im double dipping and playing it again. I love it that damn much. Highly recommend for any RPG Lovers and even if you dont play RPGs I suggest giving it a chance.

2.Persona 5-I finally finished Persona 5 this year. It almost took a damn year but I got there. Damn was it a roller coaster. A good one at that. Im so happy with how great this game turned out. It took it out of the park for me, the dungeons were fun to run through, it was challenging, the plot kept me hooked, and it had some really good bad guys. It really made me hate a lot of the villians and the boss fights were kickass.

3.Monster Hunter World-Im big into Monster Hunter so when World got annouced I was excited but also disappointed. Im used to MH being a portable series. Ive been playing it since MH3U and while I mostly played the Wii U verison it was MH4U on 3DS that really got me hooked. So losing the portable side of it kinda hurt. Id literally take a downgraded verison on Switch right now then the PS4 verison. I can say though that World is an excellent game and an excellent MH title at that. Its super beginner friendly and it eases you in the method of the madness of these type of games. It wont throw you to the wolves terribly fast and the online side has I think been a bit more on the friendly side.

4.Octopath Traveler-Guys there seems to be a trend with RPGs this year. They had a lot of good ones. This one is certainly no exception to that. I enjoyed some of this game, from the characters, their special little dialogues with each other at certain points, to the battles with insane bosses that came more to life during the fight, right down to all the places you visit for each other their stories. I will say this one is grind heavy. You have to grind quite a bit if you plan to finish each characters story and see their own ending. I can say its worth it all day long but I can also respect when someone prefers grindless or less grindy games. Its a time sink.

5.Is kinda a tie between YS8 and Assassins Creed Origins-These both are great games. Both very different from each other of course so there is no comparing them but they both kept me hooked for the ride they gave. They both played relatively smooth and had interesting characters and settings. Have I told yall I love Egypt? Ive loved its history and lore since I was little. YS8 does have a weird true ending but I dont mind a weird ending. The question is where does this series go from there? Im curious to find out. Assassins Creed on the other hands wasnt nesscarily a weird or bad ending but it left me wondering why the main character was the main character? Like the ending became more about his wife than of him. I will say I havent cared much for the older Assassins Creed titles but this changed my mind about them.

Only game I've played here is Spyro trilogy. Haven't beat it yet, but likely will. Nice year for beating games!

Spyro was a lot of fun, it brought back soo many good memories. Especially the ones where I annoyed my little sister because she hated Spyro LMAO!

Just got DQ11 and left the first town. Not very far in at all but I'm enjoying it so far.

I loved Persona 5 but never got around to finishing it for some reason. Probably because that game takes an eternity to beat and I didn't have that kind of time when I was playing it.

I also didn't get around to finishing MH:W but I liked it.

Ys 8's true ending is weird as fuck. I'll give you that much.

And yeah I had that exact complaint about Origins. Fuck Bayek, I wanted to play as his wife. She did all the interesting stuff and hung out with all the historical figures. It was an odd choice that's for sure. I definitely recommend Odyssey though if you're not burnt out from Origins.

I did like Bayek, I just thought backseating him at the end was fucking outta left field. They should have definietly made both playable through the whole thing. I really need to jump back on Odyssey. I might just start over at this point since its been forever.

I really hope you enjoy DQ11. I freaking loved it, I wanna play it again already! Im gonna try and wait for the Switch verison.

Good for you, finishing games. I finish a few each year but there's always a huge pile of unfinished ones. Sometimes I don't want to finish them though, so I'm fine with it.

01/07/2019 at 12:43 PM

Thats perfectly fine too! I just got to were I felt guilty having so many unfinished games to play and yet I kept buying more. The 12 games a year atleast makes me feel better when I buy new ones,lol!

I go through waves of buying and then trading. I just traded in a bunch of stuff from this generation.

How is that Octo expansion? Is it really hard? is it worth 20 bucks?

01/07/2019 at 12:49 PM

Its really hard Cary, I cant say its not worth the 20$, I bought it and found it very worth it. I especially wanted Octolings playable. However I dont wanna say it would be for everyone. The Octo expansion is hard and I mean super fucking hard. It does have a nice little skip levels mechanic but that doesnt help at the very end. I will say look up some videos that show some of the levels off. It might help you get a better look at if its for you or not.

Hmm, now you've got me wondering what games I finished this year...

Oh, man, DQ XI was amazing! I actually got the platinum trophy for it!!!

01/07/2019 at 12:53 PM

I thought about getting the platinum for it but I had to move on once I tied the story up. I didnt want to but I had to :(

What did you finish this year? Now you have me curious!

12 games a year is a solid goal. I finished 12 games in 2018, and I'd like to improve on that in 2019.

01/07/2019 at 12:56 PM

I think 1 a month isnt bad to aim for. It doesnt feel overwhelming for me so Ive stuck with it. I beat 2 extras this year but I dont think Ill up the goal, not yet anyway. Maybe if I have another good year I will in 2020.

How many shall you aim for this year?

01/07/2019 at 03:04 PM

I think I will stick with 1 a month. I figure since I'm cutting out the mobile pay to win games I should have more time to play more conventional games but I want to keep it loose and finish at least 12 games this year.
