Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We got a a lot done in Persona 4 Golden tonight, acing the Finals, getting some personality categories maxed out, and took advantage of my Social Link screw ups to access the Chagall Cafe and do a little fishing. 

But the big thing we did was grind out levels while looking for items related to side quests in order complete Margaret's Social Link. I did not like doing the Fusion Requests in Persona 3 Portable or Persona 5 Royal, but knowing they were coming meant that I was going to grind as much as possible to ensure we got them done.This has resulted in the Compendium being 72% complete, so that can take a backseat going forward. 

Next time we play we're going to deal with the Copy Cat Killer, going right into the dungeon which should... FINALLY... open the door to Naoto's story arc! 

Persona 4 Golden will return on Monday's stream

Next stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing Fallout 4

This week's line up will be the same as last week

Sunday: Overwatch 2
Monday: Persona 4 Golden
Tuesday: Persona 4 Golden
Wednesday: Sea of Thieves of Smite
Thursday: Persona 4 Golden
Friday: J-Stars Victory Vs
Saturday: Persona 4 Golden

I did go back and forth on including MultiVersus, but Persona 4 is the major priority game.

Need to do some laundry, granted it's mostly shirts and shorts since I don't go anywhere

Finished the Spider-Man commission, next one on my list is a WWE related one. Will start on that before I go to bed and with luck we could bang it out during the day tomorrow

J-STARS Victory VS and other notes

So first impression of J-Stars Victory Vs is that it has a great intro with a full theme that shows off all the characters, but there isn't a tutorial mode. On the other hand it is possible still to get all the online achievements done as I proved, even as I was figuring out the standard controls. There is an arcade mode, but clearly its meant for expert players based on apparent difficulty ratings.All the character models look great in fact I say they look better than Jump Force.

Game-play wise, it's a two on two arena fighter with no tagging in and out but there are assists characters. Every character needs to be unlocked, but to do that you need both in-game currency as well as to level up to have 'room' to recruit people.

Roster is pretty solid with a wide variety of Shonen Jump franchises such as One Piece, Luckyman, Dragon Ball, Naurto and Fist of the North Star. There is no English audio track, so everyone speaks in Japanese.which is fine considering that's how U had the audio set up for Ghost of Tsushima

J-Stars Victory Vs will return next Friday!

Tomorrow night we're playing Persona 4 Golden, hopefully we can get back on track in terms of things getting done correctly.
