Yes. Yes I am. I do this. I get hyper-fixated on a series and after the Gen 9 DLC (disappointing btw) I am once again on a Pokemon kick. I don’t know what it is about this series. Fire Emblem is the only other series to come close, but again with the newer gens.
Kaga created a brilliant game series, but I would probably gnaw off my console arm within the first hour of attempting Thracia. (I’ve watched my husband play it.)
Ah! That’s interesting. I’m playing Alpha Sapphire right now. I love Pokemon, but tend toward the newer gens because they have more story.
Older games, or games that mimic older styles, can be pretty hit and miss for me as a result, even though I can appreciate a lot of the work and complexity put into them from an outside view (watching someone else play).
Revisiting the anime got me on a Hoenn kick, so here we are.
If you like indie games, and if you enjoy puzzles and story, have you ever tried Ib? It’s a short indie psychological horror game that is all puzzles (no fighting), but really interesting.
What did you think of Cassette Beasts? I watched a play through of that one not long ago with mixed reaction. But, I’m curious as to how others received it and how they felt about playing through it.
Wrapping up ORAS and debating between Platinum and Heart Gold. It’s nostalgia week, I guess, as my husband is currently replaying a bunch of Final Fantasy games. XD
Still playing E03 and replaying Pokemon Sword here and there. (Mostly post-game and DLC stuff.)
Big fan of GWitch. It’s a really strong story, and the art is beautiful.
Mob Psycho 100 is a completed action series that makes me think of slice of life coming of age story meets DBZ meets urban fantasy. The story is very strong and the art is used in a fairly clever way.
If you want dark/horror, then Psycho Pass was a fairly popular thriller.
Some good suggestions. I’d heard of Ghost Trick and that one did look interesting. :)
I’m not going to lie, a small part of me read that article and wondered if it was completely made up content. Then again, I could absolutely see it happening. O_o
That’s really good to know! The games do look interesting. I mainly go for character driven stories, but I’m not sure if any of the games really touch on that or not. I really haven’t looked into them, but the updated artwork caught my attention during the latest Direct and it got me thinking about the series in general.
Still playing EO3, but debating digging into something else too. Just not sure what I’m in the mood for. :)
So, one of my favorite questions for interviews is something like this:
“What are the top 3 things you would want any new person walking in the door to know?”
If they ask you to elaborate, you can explain this is a deliberately broad question meant to catch the kinds of important, organization specific things someone might not think to ask. It could be anything from “When the boss has his door closed it means he’s working on a key project, don’t knock just come back later” or “Never drink the coffee on Monday mornings.” It could also be: “A,B, and C are serious priorities for Management eventually.”
This sometimes catches people off guard (which is not a bad sign), but it can often yield good information.
Congrats and best of luck to you!
I’m eyeing a run through of Pokemon Crystal because I am still on that kick. XD
My husband just picked up the Demo for Unicorn Overlord and to be honest it looks pretty good, so I’m tempted to also give that one a try. The pacing is nice and snappy and the game play seems straightforward enough. The story is a pretty standard hero’s journey, which isn’t high praise but certainly doesn’t count against it.
Who doesn’t enjoy the occasional boxed-mac-and-cheesesque storyline?
