Original thread.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What are you most anticipating for 2024 in terms of games?

I'm currently playing Atelier Ryza 1. It's a slice of life anime game with an alchemy gathering/crafting system being the draw. I decided to try it out to see if I'd like the other Atelier games/series. It's okay. The story is pretty plain and very slow. So far I've had fun figuring out the alchemy system to synthesize and craft really powerful items and weapons and then steamroll the game.

Since the last thread, I've went on a nostalgia spree lol. One streamer that I watch is doing a huge SNES marathon and is gonna play every SNES game that was released in NA in order. So that inspired me to get into beat em ups and other boomer genres and relive some childhood genres. So I picked up River City Girls and Streets of Rage 4 and Double Dragon. River City Girls was great! Awesome gameplay and some catchy tunes.

I started the Metal Gear Solid collection and beat the MSX/NES games, Metal Gear 1 and 2. Uh, lets just say they were an experience lol. I don't know how you'd figure out some of those puzzles going in blind. Kojima was cooking even back then. I plan on playing Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3 later this year. Hopefully volume 2 of the collection comes out this year and has Metal Gear Solid 4 and Peace Walker.

I'm currently waiting for Like a Dragon 8 later this month. It's gonna consume my life then by the time I finish it Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth should be out and I plan to 100% that too.

I'm looking forward to Unicorn Overlord and, unironically, the Princess Peach game lmao

Have you played the mgs games before? Cause the first 3 are really all you need there. Peace Walker is a fun game but after 3 the story tanks hard

Yeah, my first MGS games were Ground Zeroes and MGSV lol. I've also watched a marathon stream of the whole series so I know the whole story and stuff. I was excited to get the collection because i was finally able to play them all on one system.
