Hey everyone! I’m back! Sorry for the lack of gaming threads. And I appreciate the people who took up the mantle while I was away. I hope to be back doing these more regularly but will figure something out for if I do decide to take an extended leave again.

Soooooo. What have you been playing!!! Since we last spoke I’ve been playing a metric fuck ton. I cleared a lot of backlog but right now I am devouring Control Reasonant. Game is unreasonably good. Highly recommend of you liked the first game! I personally think it is better in almost every way. It rocks

    Welcome back! I’m mixing a few weeks together, but recently I finally managed to obtain a PSVita and I played through Gravity Rush, kinda short but really fun.

    I played Denshattack, I still have to get all the gold medals, but it was enjoyable.

    I also tried Qliphah in providence’s shadow. It has an interesting combat system, but it didn’t really hook me.

    I’m interested in Control Resonant, I liked the setting of the first one a lot. How’s the gameplay in this one?

      I find the gameplay more interesting this time around honestly. There are so many ways to mix and match your moves. You get 3 choices of a primary attack, 3 choices of a secondary attack, and I think like 6 or 7(?) combo finishers. You can mix and match those in a bunch of ways and each of those have their own trees to improve them, and you can swap them out. You start with one primary attack but can unlock everything as you find materials and stuff.

      And those are just your normal moves. Each of the bosses you can fight will give a combat ability which uses a power meter that recharges by using your normal attacks. The bosses each give you a choice of 2-3 combat abilities to have at any one time, and you can swap later if desired (with certain items). Plus there are various attack types that different enemies are or resistant against, plus some of the status effects you can apply have synergies.

      Exploring is a total treat too. The areas feel so packed with cool things to find and do. Just having an absolute blast
