New Loot! #47 - "The Obsession Continues..." Edition

The series in which I brag about all my latest gaming acquisitions. This post is a bit late, as I grabbed these games several months ago. My bad...


***The Obsession Continues...***
New Loot! #47

Grim Dawn (PC)—
This one was on my wishlist for a very long time. The reviews actually sold me on this one.



Rise of the Tomb Raider (PC)—
Finally got it!! YAY!!!

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (Android)—
This was on sale. I've never played it before and was thrilled to add it to my FF collection.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (PS4)—
Pre-order. This is my first time playing a brawler and I'm not sure how I feel about it. But I love seeing the older game characters with updated graphics. That's fun. :)

Assassin's Creed Syndicate (Xbox One)—
Hubby got this free with his Games with Gold thingy. Yeah, it's totally mine. Even though it's on the Xbone. I really dislike the Xbone...

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (PS4)—
Gotta love Humble Bundle.

Have you gotten any new games lately? Tell us about it in the comments! ♥

Until next time...

Movie Monday #46 - Fraggin' Robots (Fallout 4)


A weekly blog series all about gaming videos. Today's selection is a small portion of my own Fallout 4 gameplay. Enjoy! ♥


***Fraggin' Robots***
Fallout 4


Hubby convinced me to give Fallout 4 a serious shot. I fired it up on the PS4 and went for it. It's fun, gotta say. 

One of the very best things this game offers is fragmentation grenades. So destructive. Especially against robots. Check it out. ▼

New Loot! #45 - "Yet More RPGs...and then some" Edition

The blog series in which I let you know the latest gaming stuff I've acquired. 


***New Loot!***
"Yet More RPGs...and then some" Edition

Two Worlds (PC)—
Honestly, I think the only reason I bought this was the $1 sale price on GOG. And they gave me another game free just for spending the money. That was a bonus.

Rebel Galaxy (PC)—
This one was free when I bought Two Worlds. That's why I have it now.

Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (PS4)—
So, yeah, I have the other Star Ocean games, and even though I've never finished one of them, I still bought this. I've started playing it and so far, it's cute.


Bayonetta Bloody Fate (Blu-ray)—
I played the first game and thought it was funny, if a little too much aimed at male players. Figured I oughtta at least give the movie a view, just to see. It's ok.

Fairy Fencer F (PC)—
It was on sale and seemed right up my alley. Only a few hours of gameplay in and I'm totally NOT regretting the purchase. Oh, the toilet humor....


Mount & Blade (PC)—
Another game with a description that appealed to me and a low enough price tag that I decided to take a chance. We'll see. I also grabbed Warband, With Fire and Sword, and some DLC while I was at it.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing I, II, & III; Final Cut (PC)—
I have a weird interest in Van Helsing, though this game actually appealed to me because it reminds me of Victor Vran. Not sure which game came first, but I've played VV, so...

RPG Maker VX Ace (PC)—
...and VX, XP, MV, 2000, and 2003, plus a crap-ton of DLC. Yeah, it was a package deal, and yeah, not a game. Really cute, though, and I figured I'd put my writing "talent" to good use.

Antagonist, Echoes of Aetheria, Last Word, Pale Echoes, Remnants of Isolation, and Skyborn (PC)—
These all came with the RPG Maker deal, and they were all made using that software, or so I'm given to understand.

Oddworld: New N Tasty (PC)—
A remake (not remaster) of the original Abe's Odyssee. I remember enjoying the original (yeah, I'm super old), so yeah, I grabbed this when the price was something I could handle.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Collector's Edition (PS4)—
Squeenix sent me an email saying this CE was on sale... $80 off the retail. Still a pricey collection, but I didn't have the re-release yet and I've been eyeballing this collection for a long time. I've played enough of it to realize how much more I like the XII moogles as opposed to the 'white ball of fluff' moogles they use now. And Balthier has replaced Cloud as my FF crush...but I have a feeling that will change again when the FFVII REMAKE comes out.


Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector's Edition (PS4)—
I have a thing for collector's editions. It doesn't even have to be for a game I'd play. If they come with a figure, all the better. This one does.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Gold Edition—
Not a game this time, at least, this set doesn't actually come with a copy anyway. But that's OK; I already have this game for PC. This little set has an artbook, a map, and a funny little big-headed Lara Croft figure. I just can't say no to neat figures from video games...especially when they're on sale.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PC)—
I've wanted this for years. I followed the development like the very best of gaming stalkers. I considered buying it right off the bat, but I couldn't handle $30 at the time. I saw it was available on GOG and knew I'd buy it from them. (I do like the idea that I can play a game without internet and I can transfer it to a non-internet PC without people thinking I'm doing something nefarious with it.) The Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale put it just within my price range.

Might & Magic 1-6 (PC)—
I'm not sure how I'll like these, but they were on sale on GOG for a whopping $2.49 for all six games. Hard to turn that down...

Gotten anything new lately? Tell us about it in the comments! ♥


Until next time...

Tips N Tricks Tuesday #20 - Steal Your Way to a Trophy! (ACII)

The series in which I share a gaming tip. Some are ones I realized, some are ones I had to look up. Today's tip is one that I realized in my 3rd (or so) playthrough...


***Steal Your Way to a Trophy!***
Assassin's Creed II


There's an achievement in Assassin's Creed II called Kleptomaniac. You have to steal 1000 florins to get it. This isn't hard, really, but is a bit time-consuming, and can be very annoying when soldiers try to kill you for it. I recently stumbled across a way to avoid the soldiers, at least. This probably isn't new information to most fans of this game, but maybe it will help some newbies. ▼

New Loot! (#44) - "A Few More PS4 Exclusives" Edition

Yet another post about my recent gaming acquisitions...


***A Few More PS4 Exclusives***
New Loot!

It's a short list this time, but that's really no excuse when each game is $20+. Anyway, here's what I grabbed...
  • The Last Guardian - this was actually a purchase for hubby, as he'd expressed interest in this puzzling, platformer-ish style game. I think the huge, rodent-like creature is cute and I want to know more. lol
  • Sword Art Online: Lost Song - I already had Re: Hollow Fragment, and I love the anime series, so getting this was only a matter of waiting for the price to drop a little. It did, so now it's mine, all mine.
  • Exist Archive: The other side of the sky - I stumbled across this on Amazon and it looked and sounded like a game I'd enjoy. Otherwise, I'd never even heard of it. 
That's it for this round. I'll probably have another post about more new loot...later. :D

Until next time...

—DLC Review— Moogle Chocobo Carnival (FFXV)

When I pre-ordered FFXV, I eventually went and bought the Season Pass. I knew I wanted it, but finances forced me to wait a bit. Not a big deal, since the first DLC wasn't planned for a month or two anyway.

That said, the first of the playable DLCs has been released, and though it's not much as far as "playable" goes, it's still something to do if you've already beaten the game.


**Moogle Chocobo Carnival**

For PS4, Xbox One | Review: PS4
*Rated T for Teen*

New Loot! (#43) - "I Already Have That Game" Edition

The blog series in which I share the latest additions to my gaming library...


**I Already Have That Game**
New Loot!


Yeah, I have a habit of buying games more than once. This time I bought Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, which I already had for 360. I had planned to get the AC games for PC, but honestly, Ubisoft doesn't seem to give a crap about PC, at least as far as the AC games go—poorly mapped controllers, no achievements, other issues that I don't know about personally since I only have one AC game for PC and I haven't even played it yet (Rogue, in case you're wondering). So I was pretty thrilled to discover the PS4 release of ACII, AC Brotherhood, and AC Revelations. They also included two short films, one that takes place before ACII (Lineage) and one that takes place after Revelations (Embers). All in all, a great addition to my library.



*All things AC belong to Ubisoft, who in no way endorses this blog. You may now go about your day. Thank you. 

Until next time...

Movie Monday (#35) - Simple Traversal (DmC)


The blog series where I share a gaming vid. These are most often me, playing a game. Usually not well.  


***Simple Traversal***
Secret Mission
DmC Devil May Cry (Definitive Edition)

I've spent many, many hours playing DmC Devil May Cry. First on the 360 (over 600 hrs, believe it or not), then on PC, and then the Definitive Edition on PS4. For some reason, I just love this game. (And yes, I've reviewed it. You can find that HERE.)

Anyway, I've embedded a video below, from the Definitive Edition. It's one of the Secret Missions that the game features. This particular one is part of the platforming involved in this game. Enjoy! ▼

—Demo Review— NieR: Automata DEMO 120161128

I have NIER for 360 but I've barely played it. Honestly, it lost me somewhere early on. Regardless, the clips and trailers for NieR: Automata were just too intriguing for me to ignore. When I saw there was a demo, I grabbed it.

Movie Monday (#34) - FFXV Hunter Quests


The series in which I share a video or two or three, somehow related to gaming...


***Final Fantasy XV***
Hunter Quests
Movie Monday #34


As is the norm lately, all I'm playing is FFXV. It's such a fun game. And I'm really loving the action RPG-ness of it.

There are these particular side quests called hunter quests. Below you'll find videos of two of them. I'm really bad at blocking, dodging, or parrying. Really, really bad. ▼

Movie Monday (#33) - FFXV


The series in which I share gaming vidz, or game-related vidz, that may or may not be me playing the game...


***Final Fantasy XV***
Movie Monday #33
Double Feature



I'm here again with a couple short gaming vidz for you, my lovely fellow gamers. I got FFXV on release day and I've been playing ever since. I've already got so many videos it's not even funny. 

Except it is. Funny. I'm getting such a kick outta this game. Burning and electrocuting these guys is HILARIOUS. 😆 See for yourself. ▼

New Loot! (#40) - It's here! It's here! It's finally HERE!!! Edition

The series of posts in which I tell you, my lovely readers, all about my latest game-related score...


**It's here! It's here! It's finally HERE!!!**
New Loot! (#40)


Oh my freaking heavens, the day HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! It is November 30, and just yesterday I received my copy of Final Fantasy XV. I'm playing it now, as you read this post. (Yes, I scheduled this post, 'cause I KNEW I'd have no time for blogging once my game arrived. I was right.)

I also got the Blu-ray edition of Kingsglaive / Brotherhood over two weeks ago and I've watched them both multiple times.

Gotta go now. Not sure why, since at the moment I write this, I have no game to play and all that demands my attention is my kids and my housework. Pfft.

Until next time...

—Demo Review— Dragon Quest Builders

I got an email from Squeenix letting me know there was a free playable demo of this game in the PlayStation Store. Even though I'm not a Minecraft-style of game fan, I do like a good JRPG-style story type of game. Figured if anything could make me a Minecraft fan, it would be this game.

—DLC Review— Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep (Borderlands 2)

Borderlands games are known for humor, bright colors, loot, and DLC that's almost as fun as the game itself. Each DLC is like a game of its own, thus worth a review of its own.

Screenshot Saturday (#24) - FFX (HD Remaster)


I've played FFX for many, many hours on my PS4, so it's rather odd how little I've actually shared of my gameplay experiences. To that end, this week's Screenshot Saturday is all about Tidus and Yuna and all their friends. Enjoy! ♥ 


***Final Fantasy X***
HD Remaster

On board the ship....and bored, apparently...
