2500 hours wtf i though 300 in a game was bad

 

That's not even my worst, I have just under 8000 in TF2.

[Garacesh]

I've got >3000 hours in DOTA 2 lol

Easy to rack up the big numbers over several years.

blimey. though i will admit those 300 hours are since December 1st and i did play 80 ish of persona 5 in that time as well. i think though those are the 2 games ive put the most hours into over the years as i dont tend to play multiplayer and tend to won and done games and maybe play them again in a few years if ever (xb2 is doing a clever thing that i wish botw and zero dawn had done every month they add something small that takes a few hours to do so it keeps you coming back and you never loose the "muscle memory" of the game i tried to go back to zero dawn/botw for their dlc but it had been so long i was having control issues and they just werent fun anymore when you know you used to be a million times better i think in zero dawn i died to the first enemy i saw)

No questions I have about 2500 hours on that game just thought I would se if anyone else played. I've just made a flicker strike build and it's incredibly OP. I got a 6 link Oro's with about 50 fusings so I got super lucky with that.

 

I see you have the same addiction as me. I was pretty much done with this league having reached my targets but they always find a way to drag you back in. Got to decide what build to play for the one month race now!

If I never know what to play I just default to Windripper Tornado shot for the $$$. I'd really like templar to make a come back though, I want a fire nova build!

Age of mythology must be my most played game XD

Ah kind of one of my rules of the game is to never play the same build twice, or at least make a variation of it with a different tree/items/class. The only exception is when I play a support build as they don't have a huge amount of wiggle room.

finally got round to starting xenoblade chronicles (giving 2 a break for now still 1 blade left) and oh boy do wii games look bad lol

though its surprising how big the open world is on a wii and getting achievements pop on a wii game is odd. its also seems to be a very different game i can see where the core mechanics came from but its weird and interesting seeing how they have changed the game and it does seem to have shorter load times than xb2. still at the point where im getting killed a fair bit so ive been grinding levels out i might possibly have gone a bit far though lol

Finally finished the last of the glitchy trophies for Agents of Mayhem - now I just need the do the VR battles (I have about 20 left) and it'll be another Platinum.

 

Also getting to the end of the storyline in Persona 4: Golden and now have a sight on who the real big bad is.

one of these days ill start that its one of the reasons i bought a 2nd hand vita (the other being remote play on ps4 to make p5 easier to platinum lol)

[Garacesh]

Started playing Persona 5.. Not bad so far..

But what the hell is the deal with 'everyone else can get knocked out and revived, that's fine, no big deal, but if joker gets knocked out, game over'?!

 

Actually ragequit 'cause of that. I'll probably pick it up again at some point this week but seriously, that's a bit rubbish, no?

It's a long running thing with MegaTen games - usually, if the main goes down, that's it.

 

You're going to love the Mudo & Hama lines of spells. Both can cause instakills. To be fair though, as long as you have a persona that's immune to curse/light (respectively), you've got nothing to worry about.

I'm vaguely familiar with the spells as I've played some of the SMT: Digital Devil games that use the same naming convention, though once you start getting to some of the status ones I have no idea what's what.

Woah, the Digital Devil Saga. Now there's a blast from the past! I loved those two games and was gutted when Cielo died.

Haha. Yeah, good games. Interesting concept. Enjoyed them a lot.

 

Confused my housemate though, when she was playing Persona 5 (it's her PS4 etc) and she was complaining about spell names, and I sat there going "Eh, you get used to it. Dia is cure, Agi's fire, Bufu is ice, Zio is thunder.. Spells have modifiers prefixed or suffixed, so 'media' heals everybody.. You just have to figure out the naming convention.."

[failnator]

XD I always found that interesting in the game as it is the same with all the Persona games. The biggest thing I will suggest is getting cure items as they will suddenly start coming and certain ones are a complete pain. (Mainly fear)

honestly i rarely used status removal items depending on how far you are in the game and confidant levels it becomes less and less of an issue as time goes on though when i was grinding for cash it was annoying when someone threw away more money than a battle was worth (the pokedex achievement is a pita)

as a point on a 1st playthrough i wouldnt worry too much about trophies etc just play how its fun then do a cleanup run in new game plus if the trophies interest you (took me a year to get back to it but i did it)

I always used to die to fear as nobody would wake joker up and my cure person would end up having it aswell XD

it happened the odd time for me but so infrequently i just diddnt do anything about it and tbh i barely used items at all though i used a few more in my platinum run but thats the way ive always played rpgs i almost always end up with a huge stack of items ive failed to use at the end of the game (and often as not i dont use magic/mana etc either i just hit everything bar bosses so i dont run out of mp again in p5 i had items that regen 7 iirc mp every turn and at the end joker regained full hp/mp after every battle so at that point i just spammed the best magic i had diddnt halm i also had a modifier that halved magic use)

Same here - in RPGs I have a tendancy to hoard items and only use them VERY rarely.

 

(although I did have a fun time using the gamble ring setting in Shadow Hearts: Convenant with the Infinite Key item on the final boss, which meant my main character got a round consisting of an infinite number of attacks while I laughed.)

Odd moment of the year award.

 

Playing PUBG, driving a buggy, nail someone with it, they go flying, so i recorded it for teh LULZ.

 

Watched the clip back, turns out i ran over one of my xbox friends who was online (and often play online with, they come over to my house for gaming nights and that), but we weren't in the same group or anything. We just so happened to get put into the same Map on duo, and I ended up running him over!

Not odd at all

PUBG's physics engine leaves a lot to be desired where vehicles are concerned. They often flip, gain aeronautical abilities or crash on tiny stones for seemingly no reason.

[Tesla]

Noooo

 

the odd bit being i ran over one of my xbox friends, who just happened to be playing pubg at the same time, on the same map as me, without us being in a group.

[Garacesh]

Oooooh.

 

See, that's the kind of thing I'm used to seeing explained as "pure skill m8, get rekt scrub"
