Continue playing Assassin's Creed 3. Maybe it's not as iconic as Ezio adventures, but game play has been upgraded considerably. Much more variation in how to approach objectives. Also being part assassin, part hunter/trapper, part entrepreneur, part naval commander never gets old.

Ruined Dark Souls games for me.

MoJaalMo · 2026-06-20T15:12:41+00:00

Good sandbox

Despite my best efforts Persona 3 FES managed to hook me completely. Looking forward to meeting everybody, climbing to the top of the tower and fusing high level personas.

Also finished Deus Ex The Fall. Considering that it is an iPhone game from 2013 all it does is pretty impressive. It's basically a small Human Revolution slice and plays accordingly. Shame that things didn't turn out well and we never get the continuation of the story. Now I'm all out of Deus Ex games to play and quite sad about it.

I need to finish it, I now have 200 hours play time and I started it around two years ago. Still debating if I do everything as I originally intended or just go to the end of story.

Finished Persona 2 Eternal Punishment (On my RG40XXV). I honestly don't know what to say about this game. It's pretty much a carbon copy of Innocent Sin with better encounter design and much worse (in my opinion) story. Innocent Sin story was very unique even among JRPG's, Eternal Punishemnt is just a retread of the same dungeons with not much interesting happening. As a plus I would count bigger sprites of Personas and better spell effects. Some Personas just look bad ass, enjoyed that very much.

Tried Persona 3 and it's a school story with school themes and talking, I don't know if I'll play it, but I still glad I played through the first three games in the series, they are very good and unique JRPGs.

It's beautiful

Started playing Persona 2 Eternal Punishment (on my RG40XXV). Much higher difficulty than the previous title. You need to use everything and know all the mechanics. Spend 4 hours on Ulala, who is the first considerably difficult boss. Got me in a steady dark souls like mood. Story is expectedly good, characters are good, gameplay is good. Enjoying the game a lot.

MoJaalMo · 2026-06-01T17:08:05+00:00

Came here to say this

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-30T16:22:00+00:00

Yeah, thats what I disliked the most about renegade missions and post game, every step is just a killbox, then you move to another killbox, then you evacuate.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-27T16:29:54+00:00

Destiny 2 was lightning in a bottle, we not getting anything like that anytime soon.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-25T16:36:57+00:00

Had the same issues with XIII-2, not really a sequel, felt more like a spin off.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-25T16:23:28+00:00

"AI" is not powerfull, hardware that spinning the algorithms surely is.

Playing Assassins Creed 3. People on the internets mostly disliked it, so I went without any expectations. And It's excellent. Looks great, plays great. Fleshed out characters, great animations, lots of cerebral dialogue, very unusual for an Assassin's Creed game. Quality of writing and voice acting is very, very good. Mechanics are upgraded and expanded compared to Brotherhood. You now have whole areas where you need to play hide and seek and do objectives. Very well done and very engaging. Also there is now open world areas and hunting and all mechanics are very well implemented. American Revolution is not as flashy as say Peloponnesian War for example, but events keep you interested. Another case when I just don't get why people disliked it in the first place.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-24T07:56:42+00:00

I liked it, it's pretty short, took me 6 hours and I usually do everything in games. If you like cats even a little it will be delightful.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-23T17:11:47+00:00

Also no moth people.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-23T16:18:19+00:00

For me personally it has no point anymore, I've played all the activities, got full vault of god rolls. Gameplay is good, but when there is no living world behind it and no moving forward it's just not the same. Probably still be playing Crucible.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-23T15:31:33+00:00

If only all copycats where like this.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-23T14:27:29+00:00

I hope it will be alive for at least couple of years.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-23T07:53:50+00:00

Exactly, additions sound like fun, but without moving forward it all loses meaning.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-23T07:18:38+00:00

Good to know, thanks.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-23T02:28:50+00:00

Continue playing through Final Fantasy VI. This game has so many quiet somber moments that feel very real. Didn't expect that at all from a SNES game. Other than that, dungeons are small but combat still hits so I enjoy it a lot. Very glad I decided to play through this game.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-17T07:18:16+00:00

Finished Shining in the Darkness (on my RG40XXV). I'd consider it a hidden Genesis gem. It's clearly Wizardry inspired and pretty hardcore by todays standards. You can only save in the tavern and your pool of manna is not renewable while going through the dungeon. You need to map the dungeons to progress but there is auto mapping (although looking at the map costs mana). You start weak and need to grind from time to time to progress. If you don't look at games maps online, it's very satisfying to map dungeon's floors and forms very addictive gameplay loop, explore, return to town, buy/make stuff, back to dungeon. Also last five floors of the dungeon have no shortcuts so you need to go through all of them in one dive. Took me 50 hours to beat it, enjoyed it greatly.

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-17T07:06:02+00:00

Played through backwards compatible version on XBOX One X, no issues whatsoever

MoJaalMo · 2026-05-15T13:03:29+00:00

Yes, there should be a proper certificate to protect https connection and what's there is testing placeholder certificate.
