 Are you serious? Hahaha.

I'm playing Ys: Ark of Napishtim for PSP.

It's not going well. It's really buggy. I really loved the chronicles collection, and four and seven, but this is a slog.

Got back into Maple for a while there so it sort of killed my gaming efforts. But I've been playing less of it recently. Next month is a HUGE month for games.

That's a sizable list.

I want some new games to play. Any recommendations? Since late 2011/2012 I've only beaten (excluding the time I spent on multiplayer games - Spiral Knights, WoW, Dota 2, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2):

Bastion
Sonic Generations
The Witcher
The Witcher 2
Costume Quest
Stacking
a bunch of random indie games from Humble Bundle

I mostly like twitchy action games and puzzle games. I'm a sucker for good story/writing/atmosphere, and I'll play an RPG if it has that (I liked The Witcher even though the game was pretty mediocre overall). Not a huge fan of FPS since I tend to get motion sickness after a while. I don't own any consoles, and I don't want to hunt down DS carts, so PC only.

If you haven't played L.A. Noire and can get into the sandbox style of game then I definitely suggest it. It's less like Grand Theft Auto than it seems and it's got a really solid story and interesting investigation-based gameplay. [MENTION=1130]Dusk[/MENTION]

I don't play on the PC so that's really all I can recommend.

I'm iffy with sandbox games. I played Fallout: NV because everyone was praising it for being the coolest game ever but I ended up getting bored and quitting about 10 hours in. It was too complex and there was too little direction. I wasn't sure where the main story was and I didn't enjoy just wandering around killing random scorpions and bandits and pomegranate. If it's got a main idea with a bunch of stuff to do on the side, I'm okay with it, but too much freedom and I lose interest.

Crisis Core:Final Fantasy VII, AGAIN.-Nibelhiem indecent
Final Fantasy VII-Nibelhiem.....Haha.

Corpse Party (PSP)

It's awesome.

EDIT: Watching a random LP just to see the LPer's reaction. And it's hilarious. On top of that, he very nearly escaped a seemingly inescapable room, but gave up and loaded a previous save. Too bad for him; that's locked him out of the true ending (and with that, access to the next chapter).

EDIT2: DAMMIT. I wanted to see his reaction to a really fucked up scare...but he chickened out of triggering it...

It's very linear (mission based)

Cool, I'll check it out then.

Also, pretty much everything you've said in the last few posts applies to me. Can't play FPS because of motion sickness; get overwhelmed by huge sandbox worlds with no clear goal; prefer RPGs because of story and atmosphere.

The DS had a lot of really good games, so it might be worth it for you to "hunt down carts"

So while I'm still on FFI (currently in Chaos Shrine, after collecting), here's the question since I'm trying out the series...

Do I play II or V after? A certain somebody's been nudging me to go for FFV once I beat FFI.

Are you looking to play them in order? There's no real reason to suddenly jump to V and it's a pretty weak game on its own so...

If you're just running through them I'd stick with their numbered order, though 2 is basically the same as 1 with the introduction of actual story elements and a really cool "keyword" system that I would actually like to see come back in games.

Pretty much, yeah. He was pretty excited to see me get to V eventually, but that'll be another 3 games before I can do that. I've also had lots of people tell me to go play VII right away. I'll probably stick with the order, I feel that things will get too confusing otherwise. :I

Beat TWEWY. Good stuff.

Dropped SJ while I was working on it, now playing it in feverish anticipation of SMTIV.

Got Tales of Graces f the day it came out here in Europe, I'm at about 70 hours now, currently grinding at the end of Lineages & Legacies. I'll probably end up getting absolutely everything I can get before my NG+, after which I'll probably do solo runs or something (or at least main characters that aren't Asbel).

Just a warning in case you don't know: almost nothing carries over to NG+

I'm playing MapleStory
