—Demo Review— Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae

This demo came with my Final Fantasy Type-0 Collector's Edition. I'll be honest, it's part of the reason I wanted the Type-0 Collector's Edition. ;)

***Final Fantasy XV***
Episode Duscae

Published and developed by Square Enix

Released 2015 | Action RPG
(Full game to be released Sept 2016)

For Xbox One, PS4 | Review: PS4

*Unrated Demo*

HGG rating: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 9/10

New Loot! (#20)

Here're some my latest PC scores. OK, I admit it. I got these a few weeks ago. Seriously, I may have a problem. I broke down and got an account at GOG.com and Steam. I just can't help myself when they offer me cool games for less than $5.

***Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD***

Published by EA Games/Oddworld Inhabitants

Developed by Oddworld Inhabitants

Released 2010 

*Rated T for Teen*

This was one of those odd splurges that I can't really explain. I remember playing one of the Oddworld games on my playstation about a billion years ago, and I remember thinking it was a fun game. So this one intrigued me and it was only a couple bucks. I've only played it for a few minutes and the controls are kinda messed up, so I have some tweaking to do before I can really get into it.

When I bought this, I also grabbed The Witcher and The Witcher 2. My disc version of Witcher didn't want to work with my PC (PC's too new or something), so I just grabbed the DRM-free version from GOG for only $1.49, and since it was also on sale, I grabbed Witcher 2 while I was there (only $2.99). For spending more than $5 that day, GOG gave me System Shock 2 for free. Not sure I'll play that one, but I have it.

***Double Dragon Trilogy***

Published by DotEmu

Developed by DotEmu

Released 2015 (trilogy)

*Unrated*

GOG offered this for $1.49 and Double Dragon II is one of those fond childhood memories for me. Figured the price was right, though I suspect playing it again will distinctly pale in comparison to the memory.

Sorry, I don't have any images of this one yet. Once I play it, I'll get some screencaps. :)

***DmC Devil May Cry***
Complete Collection

Published by Capcom

Developed by Ninja Theory

Released 2013
Action, Hack n Slash

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

I'm a Devil May Cry junkie. A bad one. I think I own just about everything to do with DMC now. And I mean everything. I think. I even have every episode of the short-lived* anime show. I am missing some soundtracks, come to think of it. In fact, I don't think I even want the OST for this particular DmC.

I grabbed all the DLC to go with this too. I mean, when I want a game, I want the FULL game, dammit! lol

*The life of this show might have been pre-determined, I don't know. It was only 12 episodes, though, so pretty darn short.

***Devil May Cry 4***
Special Edition

Published by Capcom

Developed by Capcom

Released 2015
Action, Hack n Slash 

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

This edition of DMC4 was just released in mid-2015. It has five playable characters instead of the two in the standard edition that came out on Xbox 360 and PS3. The SE was released for PC, PS4 and Xbone. I have a PS4, but grabbed the PC version 'cause, why not? I ♥ my PC. I may eventually grab the PS4 version, but at this point I don't see a reason to.

***Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening***
Special Edition

Published by Capcom

Developed by Capcom

Released 2005 (PC port 2006)
Action, Hack n Slash

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

I have this in my copy of Devil May Cry HD Collection for Xbox 360, but I wanted to play with mods and whatnot, so I grabbed the PC version when Steam offered it at a discount. I installed the one mod I read was completely necessary to make this PC port enjoyable, but I've yet to try it out. There's a possibility I'll hate it. If so, I still have the Devil May Cry HD Collection for my 360, so no real loss. :)

***Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning***

Published by EA Games/38 Studios

Developed by Big Huge Games/38 Studios

Released 2012
Action RPG 

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

I'm not entirely sure why I grabbed this from Steam other than it was on sale. Pretty pathetic, right? Don't get me wrong, I really like this game. I've beaten it on the 360, including all the DLC, so I'm not entirely sure why I wanted it for the PC too. Maybe I'll mod it. There aren't many, if any, mods for this game, at least not any i can find. It needs some. I need to learn to mod, so why not mod a game that needs a few, right? :) 

Until next time... 

New Loot! (#17)

Here's another I forgot, this time a gift from hubby. He spoils me rotten.

Wow, I sound ungrateful. The only reason I forgot is because it's an Xbox One game and I'm still trying to not hate that particular console. Not much of an excuse for forgetting, but it's all I've got. ;)

***Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor***
Game of the Year Edition

Published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

Developed by Monolith Productions

Released 2015

Action Adventure

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

Xbox had a sale on this and hubby grabbed it for me 'cause he thought it was one I'd like. I do. It's very Assassin's Creed-y with sneaking, trailing, and that sort of thing. Not really my favorite part of AC, but the rest of the gameplay is similar enough to be enjoyable. Too bad I kinda hate orcs. LOL

...come to think of it, the fact that they're orcs makes it easier for me to stab 'em from the bushes. Kinda. Not really. Oh well. I'm fascinated enough with Tolkien's Middle Earth to play the game and see where the developers decided to take it.

This game is available for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac, as well as PS4 and Xbox One. Get it from Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop, Steam, or your local used game store. ☺

Until next time...
