I wasn't in the mood to play too many titles for some reason. I played a few during the first half of the year but spent most of my time this year living in FFXIV. But I enjoyed what I played so I will post those as well. A massive amount of big games from 2021 are still in my backlog but I'll get to them this year.

This includes games that were released before 2020. I enjoyed a lot of games this year but these were my favorites. I'm just going to include a short blerb on why I enjoyed them.

I was sucked into a couple of GaaS games and I wanted to play some games that came out in 2018 (which are included in this list). It's been a pretty mixed year for me personally so my need to play certain titles were based on my mood. I still played a good amount of games and I wanted to discuss them in this list.

So here's a quick list.

Oddly enough, I do not remember when I actually registered for the site because it has been so long. I remember my friend telling me about it but I didn't have any interest in another gaming forum at the time.

So it's here but before I begin, I want to talk about my experience with the original Destiny. I played the Alpha, Beta and finished the entire "story" campaign. I played all the expansions and completed all the raids. I was one of the few who Platinumed the game pretty early on and I played a ton of PVP. I played through most of the changes and also participated in some of their holiday events.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130145.post-58217841663686413952017-01-17T23:04:00.002-05:002017-01-17T23:21:49.862-05:00Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Review, Thoughts + CensorshipDidn't get a chance until this year to play this game and I'm glad I did. It wasn't really talked about when it came out from what I remember. I picked it up day one but didn't really follow the news of it prerelease. Now that I finished it, here's a super long detailed review for you! ^_^;;

Don't even ask, just get it. This is a MUST play for fans since it's a direct sequel and continues the story of the original. YOU MUST PLAY IT.ヽ(`Д´)ノ

There were just way too many games that came out this year that I wanted to play but haven't had a chance to (for games like Steins;Gate 0, Watch Dogs 2, Mafia 3 etc). So there will be a bunch of games missing from this list.

I'll explain my reasons below.

I've been focusing more and more on story-driven games and you might see a lot of those listed here. I won't spoil anything (as usual).

Everyone kept telling me how great it was and you know what? They were right.
I actually own the original version on PS2 but never got around to it. I actually started playing Persona 3 back when that came out but never finished it so P4 was also placed in the backburner.

So it's been snowing a lot lately around here. I'm frankly sick of it but we have more tonight and another big storm tomorrow. Hopefully it's the last one for Winter because there's frankly no where left to put all this shit.

I didn't expect to play online with people or join a group on a regular basis. But it turned out I ended up playing a lot more with a dozen different people over the days quite often.

So it's been roughly 3+ weeks after Destiny launched and its been the only game I've been playing. I was going to write about my thoughts earlier but I didn't want to do it before checking out the infamous Raid.

Watch Dogs [PS4]
Completed the main campaign and I really enjoyed the overall game. The main story itself was meh but everything else was solid. I didn't find Aiden's motives that interesting and most of the characters were assholes. I didn't really hate anyone though but I was pretty indifferent to them.

I finally got off my ass and played this game. I bought it at launch but didn't get around to it for whatever reason. There were just too many other games I wanted to play first. I beat it over the weekend and it was pretty lengthy

Completed Child of Light [PS4] and it was a good game. The graphics and music were incredible. The art direction and visuals were simply beautiful and animated really well.
