Going back and playing old school Doom games, only to find out ID Software removed the cheats from the BFG edition containing all 3 Dooms. Well I can fix that by activating the cobsole through the config file. Take that ID lol.

Not to mention the HP/MP sharing along with time limits on using a particularly familiar, is killing it for me. The story isn't that great (yet). All the way up to this point, the story felt stretched out and some of the game's designs are perplexing (I don't mind save points but when there's only one at the beginning and then one at the end per dungeon, WTH?). It just feels like a very slow game. I just got Esther into my party and I'm even dying during the battle tutorial! I'm feeling that all I'm doing during battles (particularly boss battles) is that I'm running away, wait for an opening, then attack or use a spell.

The game's pretty, but I hope it gets better otherwise I won't bother much with post-game and trophies.

Now that I have finished Ni no Kuni (and on my way to the Platinum), I don't get why this game was so well-received :confused:, especially when there are several other JRPGs that are better (Tales of Graces f come into mind and yet that was not as critically well received). Out of what I consider the three most important aspects for a JRPG (story, battle system, music), only the music was above average. The story was bland, uninspired and uneventful. The battle system was horrible due to a few minor flaws (which, when aggregated, made the whole thing quite annoying).

Story was predictable (every town you go to, you repeat the same things, i.e. cure the brokenheartness of the ruler). The sidequests were super repetitive and simple. I always hate it when developers make some 'essential' item have low drop rates, but Ni no Kuni takes the cake here, combining low drop rate with rare enemies for a certain sidequest. It seems like a lot of people just loved it because they haven't played many other JRPG's before and suddenly because this game was so hyped up thanks to Studio Ghibli's involvement, people loved it and said it was awesome! Apart from the graphics/art direction, this game is very average. Extremely disappointing that we didn't even get a 2D cutscene for the ending (which makes sense since the final arc was tacked on and extended when compared to the DS's version).

Finished Inferno Mode play-through on Diablo III, getting close to the platinum trophy.:D

Also The Legend of Zelda Windwaker HD is stunning on Wii U. It feels very fresh with the graphics update and the ability to sail faster which was a big improvement over the gamecube release.

Yeah i can't believe how good Wind Waker looks! I was gonna hold off on this but i got bored on the weekend and bought it. Haven't put it down since. Easily one of the best Zelda games made, and it actually puts a few games from the this generation to shame. And the swift sail makes it actually fun to explore the oceans, rather than using the cyclone to fast travel.

Can't wait to get back to some real gaming next year. I've been relegated to an android tablet for the last 10 months, playing Strikefleet Omega & The Simpsons: Tapped Out.
