I've been playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and I love it. I don't do much mobile gaming because I already spend too much time on my phone, but this one sucked me in. First time I've enjoyed a Final Fantasy game this much in years.

Yup, I'm French

I've been playing Danganronpa lately, as I'm a huge Ace Attorney and Persona fan. Really enjoying it so far. I'm in case 2, it's neat

Si ce n'est déjà fait, bienvenue! Les Français sont minoritaires mais c'est toujours sympa d'en croiser

After Monsieur's feedback on Monster Hunter Generations, I'm still wondering if it's worth every penny.
The new weapons system and the fact that almost everyone will play as a Felyne are somehow a turn off to me.

Inaba Pride Exhibit is the worst 4th strata ever.

Even beats out EO2U's dumb bombs.

My copy of 7th Dragon III Code: VFD arrived today. Can't really say much else since I only just dug into it. Using a Samurai, Godhand and Duelist at the moment.

Taking baby steps on Starbound, although it's a bit intimidating I enjoy exploring the universe at my pace. Fortunately Monsieur is a good companion. :3

Hmm, version 1.0 of Starbound totally changed the tech and exploration progression so there are fewer steps but each one goes a lot farther.

Originally, you repaired your ship a little at a time, first fixing the thrusters to let you go to other planets in the same system, and that required core fragments. The only way to get those was to dig to the core of the starting planet. This lead to a lot of careful exploration of one planet before you are allowed to go to others. The gate to the outpost was at the edge of the solar system, not on the starting world, and doing quests there (unique quests rather than "find 2 ore and then escort my friend" quests) got you the tech and eventually missions that repaired your FTL drive and let you go to other stars. Ultimately, it was a slower, more careful experience that taught you everything you needed to know before it set you totally loose.

Before all of that, you would have gone through wood, iron, and steel technology levels, with each race having unique weapons they would make with those resources. Theres also a lot of removed assets in general, like each race having a different starting backstory and unique SAIL. Though I understand that those things are probably being returned in a future update after they have been tested on the new architecture.

However, ultimately the improvements to combat at the hotbar make actually playing the game a much smoother and ultimately better experience with 1.0 than the beta. The opening missions are abrupt and easy and the side quests are boring but as someone who has played the game extensively before release it's only jarring in that it's different rather than it actually being worse. I'd still recommend it to pretty much anyone and I love it enough to play it every day at the expense of other responsibilities...

I should really play it again soon. I played around 60 hours a while back and loved every minute of it. Do they have official servers for free now? Hamachi always messed up my internet settings if I left it installed.

There are no "official servers" run by the company that you can use. The game comes with dedicated server software so you can run one from your own machine, or you can pay for one to be running all the time. There's plenty of free public servers though, I think, usually with a player cap of around 60. You're just gonna be sharing it with a bunch of kids.

However, you can run a multiplayer game of up to 4 people without use of a server. Basically from your steam friends list you can join someone else's game or invite them to join yours. So if I join someone else's game, I have my ship and everything on it but it goes to their universe. You can warp to their location or go explore on your own. It's good for some of the missions that require you to find villages of a specific race, with several people splitting up and exploring every planet in a system.

I've been playing Danganronpa 12 for a week, and right now just finished

Why does this game want to torture my feels

[Trifkin]

Half the reason I love SMT: Strange Journey so much is the case it came in.

I can't fit the photos here from my phone so I'll link the tweet that has them: https://twitter.com/magenflowers/status ... 7396322309

I think Danganronpa 9 was the last good one.
