i had it on the GBA. coming from Final fantasy tactics the game felt slightly clunky for my liking. maybe it was the complexity or the somewhat drab graphics. I do have TO:LUCT on the vita which i have yet to play. Might get around to it one day. Right now i'm playing Fire emblem awakening and its alright. On CH17 and pretty much every unit is promoted so they can make mincemeat of any fresh recruits. Whilst there are opportunities for skirmishes, its a grind if i was to get all the characters playable. in most FE games, i have a core team and stick with them. I am playing it on casual and i must admit my standards are starting to slip as i make easy mistakes sometimes.

I felt the exact same way coming from Tactics Ogre to Final Fantasy Tactics: especially the class system in FFT felt more clunky.

I tried one of the Fire Emblem games but it felt like you had to do each mission twice because the game loved to throw a twist at you in the middle of a mission. Plus it's pretty easy to screw up your team if you're not using a guide, meaning you have to repeat a bunch more or start over entirely.

All weekend long I played nothing but Arc Raiders. What I like the most about this game is how I can approach it from different angles. Sometimes I just want to chill and loot, other times I want to hunt Arcs or help kill a Matriarch, I can choose to approach the game however I want based on my feeling at the time. I took down two Leapers by myself this weekend then helped a guy take down a Bastion. I even got into the Dam Control Tower for the first time this weekend, there is always something to do.

Youre not alone. Really the only thing ive been playing too.


So, next to Arc Raiders, i played some of TimeSplitters: Rewind

This is a community project to bring the franchise together under 1 title with all its boards and MP stuff. I remember fondly playing TimeSplitters 2 back on the PS2 and i think , at least so far, they have done a pretty good job of updating the old levels. There is only TimeSplitters levels right now, but theres a spot for the rest of the franchise and since the game is in EA, itll eventually come, but whats there is fun right now, so im looking forward to that.

I am about to embark on a new game Of Ash and Steel, will come back with more info on that when i delve in.
