Persona 4 Golden and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Persona 4 Golden, and from where we picked up (a few days before the final exam) it took six hours to cover everything. Now if I wasn't reading every bit of dialog out loud, it probably would have been done in a lesser amount of time, but some things needed to have a voice to them. I didn't care for the gimmick of the Hallow Forrest as it seemed as if it was design to make people give up on Marie by not having the preferred gear and items, as well as totally draining the stamina. 

I did how everything had a nice wrap up and conclusion, and how this Persona 4 went out of its way to stress the fact that Main Character was going to live, as opposed to Persona 3, where the hero dies in the end. Also really liked the animated scenes that were included, which added a really nice touch.

Will I play Persona 4 Golden again... well the only things left would be to fuse the World Persona and defeat  Margaret, plus farm out battle dialog for Rise... then there is the trivia thing which I have no interest in doing. So it's possible if I want to go for the 1000 gamer score.

Anyway, replacing Persona 4 Golden will be Marvel Midnight Suns, which we'll start on Monday!

Tomorrow night we're playing Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Was so hot today that I did not want want to open the refrigerator more than a couple of times, so order take out. Considering the trouble with the fridge I had last year when it came to keep it open to load in groceries on a hot summer day I am not taking chances 

Started work on the God Eater story commission, and I wish there were more details about the in-game world, but for a game that has several titles, the fan-wikis for the franchise is barren

J-STARS Victory VS+ and other notes

So tonight's stream of J-Stars Victory Vs saw us advancing the plot and getting access to more side quests while getting Luffy to rank 20, which means getting him to rank 30 will be a breeze next week I feel, because I need to make sure to go after every ship before advancing the plot again.

I'm really liking doing Luffy's campaign teaming him with Hancock because she has some nice stuns and range attacks that basically keeps her out of harms way for the most part.

I am curious as to why was Jump Force was such a step back from this game in terms of its mechanics and features. 

 J-Stars Victory Vs will return next Friday night!

Tomorrow we're looking to finish Persona 4 Golden, which we should be able to do even if we have to extend the stream

For the raid we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Smite

Work was a mix bag... a couple of completes and a couple that were nearly finished

Finished the Spider-Man commission request, and next up is a God Eater one... and I know nothing about the series...

 But my curiosity has lead me to see that the first game in the saga (or at least the 2nd remake) was available digitally on PS4, so safe to say I'm going to be learning about it a whole lot down the road
