What are you playing?

Tales of Xillia 2: Started and finished the NG+ Unknown run with sisters. Working on finishing up post-game content before trying to get Platinum.

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker: Disappointed the game only has 3 episodes and some bonus levels. Finished challenge times on Episodes 1 and 2 and started working on them in Episode 3.

Picked up Etrian Odyssey I-III for the DS, ever since I finished IV and Untold I've just wanted to play the whole series. EO I is proving to be very problematic in terms of difficulty spikes between the Stratum.

[Monokuma]

^I'm too scared to go play the DS Etrian Odysseys ;.; I finished Untold and IV's main game (attempting IV's post-game) and it's all super scary. I can't imagine what it would have been like before... I'm waiting for Untold 2 and hopefully a 3 because I'm lame :U

I got Hyrule Warriors for Christmas and I cannot put it down. I've been playing that so much lately... I spend entire days playing it and I never get tired of it (though I do get annoyed but that's like any game)

Wings of Vi is a fucking hard game let me tell you

[Zerard]

Geez, at this point, it's more: what are you not playing.

With me right now, I have Smash 4 (Wii U), Mario Kart 8, Kirby Triple Deluxe, and a little bit of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Hyrule Warriors on my plate. I'm more or less mostly focused on the first two, since I wanna really learn the innermost workings of Smash and MK8 still. Anything else is just for killing time when I feel like it. :v

Taking a break from Etrian Odyssey II, picked up Etrian Odyssey IV while it's still on sale on the eShop so I've been alternating between it and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Forgot how fun EOIV was in terms of "wow you really can do any party setup and it works".

Honestly they're not so much scary as they are tedious and frustrating.

EO felt like the game completely started over every time you started a new Stratum (The first fight in the 2nd Stratum I had ended up with half my party dead and the rest of them at 1/3 to 1/2 HP, while the stuff in B5F of the 1st Stratum barely posed any threat) except without the 1st Stratum's lack of experience from random encounters.

EO II isn't so bad but there's actually more grinding involved because every class has a skill dedicated to stat ups (HP Up, TP Up, STR Up, etc) and quite a few skills require x level in x Up as prerequisites.

I love EO4 and I really do need to pick it back up and beat the extra boss and final dragon but Im not sure I feel like grinding that long also I'm sad I didnt like the last job as much as I thought I would.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Got it from a friend last year, but never touched the game until this past week. Just got the "Speed" Monado power. Exploration is too fun in this game.

[Mute]

Is anyone else playing GTA5 on the PC? ._.

[Dark Link]

Xenoblade Chronicles: Finished the game sometime last month. Clocked in at 80 hours.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse: 100% the game in a couple days with sisters a couple weeks ago. Multiplayer does make a lot of things trivial, but Kirby games have never been known for their difficulty.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD: Finally beat the game tonight on normal (Officer) difficulty. Will probably have a go at NG+ on Agito (Hard) or Finis (Very Hard) difficulty to unlock more content.

Didn't have much to do today, started up Minecraft again. I ended up making something functional with my limited knowledge of redstone.

I made a snowball-powered repeater/pulse generator where the user can control how many pulses are sent out, with a maximum of 143 pulses if you only use snowballs, 577 with regular 64-stacking items--I figured I'd limit it to snowballs for thematic purposes. Kinda proud of it since I spent like 4 hours re-learning redstone and building a messy prototype. I'm sure I can clean it up a bit more later.

technical stuff

It's based on a comparator with a chest as a main input and a dispenser as a side input. The chest always gives a power output of 1, while the dispenser is filled so that the comparator outputs a non-zero signal. When the circuit is toggled on, a piston clock depletes the dispenser until it's empty, at which point the comparator outputs 0. The clock which powers the dispenser is on the same node as the lamp, so when the dispenser is empty, the clock stops ticking. The clock/lamp node is powered by a single signal (the lever in the album).

I called it a repeater, but it's really an engine. Outputs are modifiable so that it can power as many things as you want. Later I'm gonna try to make it so that it uses both side inputs of the comparator, and after that, so that it can take an infinite number of inputs. The end project I really want to make is some sort of automatic builder that creates a building based on a 3D schematic.

Hyrule Warriors: Both my Sisters and myself finally beat all adventure maps, but not fully 100% just yet. Clocked in at 180 hours. Taking a break for the time being to play other games before fall / winter releases.

Tales of Graces F: One Sister and I are replaying the game since we beat it back in 2012 and don't remember jack about the game, and want to try and beat it before Zestiria releases in a few months. Doing full "Evil" mode playthrough this time around.

Disgaea D2: Never touched the game until this past weekend. Going to attempt to platinum the game before Disgaea 5 releases in a few months. Currently sitting at Chapter 7, Cycle 3.

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold.

Expert mode is hard. Worse than the first Untold on Expert. It's basically "your party better have some serious sustain or you're done for".

Been a while since the last post, guess everyone's playing those few games with their own threads?

This came in the mail today:

[Dark Link]

Speaking of Disgaea 5. I got mine today as well. Been kinda steamrolling the story, even with 20 stars in cheat shop, due to going nuts with the demo and getting everyone to level 150+ (and Tier 4 generics) due to Killia being 200 himself.

It's really cool they brought back a lot of stuff from D3 in addition to the QOL stuff from D4 and DD2.


In addition to my last post. I was able to platinum DD2 with a couple weeks to spare before D5 released. Rasetsu mode can go die in a fire. Thank god Baal wasn't required.

I actually think I did something wrong, I went and bought/applied the DLC before beating chapter 1, now I'm completely lost. Am assuming I need to run through all the DLCs to go back to the story?
I've no problem if I need to restart and just wait till post game to apply the DLCs. Just wanna know if that's required since I went out of order.

No. The DLC shouldn't have any affect on the story. It's just bunched up with the main story selection, which can cause some confusion. I applied all the DLC before I finished episode 1, but I ended up plowing through all of the DLC before even continuing with the story.
DLC shouldn't be a problem as everyone is between levels 1 and 7.
