Just downloaded the Budokai hd collection.
I fired up BD3, went to the campaign, and picked Yamcha as a joke, thinking they'd have him fighting Freeza and Cell, because otherwise he'd have 3 fights in the series.
They actually went with the story accuracy. Makes you realize how boring Yamcha's life is, if nothing else.
Tried Gurr's port of Nethack to Android.
It's susprisingly good.. A Rogue-like is the last sort of game you'd expect would work on a touch phone, but it's been streamlined enough where it doesn't feel clunky (No more then Rogue-likes on a desktop, at any rate), while still retaining its depth.
Makes a good case for open source, with what fans have done with the project.
I began playing Final Fantasy Crisis Core on my computer. I enjoy the gameplay, but I'm somewhat iffy on the way the level up system seems to be handled. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It seems to be somewhat random as to when you level up or when a power levels up, and you apparently can't control when a limit break activates.

I liked that series, but after playing the Budokai Tenkaichi series where you have fully destructible 3D environments and you can fly around blowing shit up..I can't play any DBZ fighting game that isn't like that now. To me the BT series comes the closest to capturing the feel of the series.
Finished Ryse: Son of Rome. It took about 5 hours and I have no interest in playing it again but I paid 5 bucks for it and it's ****ing gorgeous. And I didn't mind the story that much. It was serviceable but it could of been so much more.
Now playing The Division beta and maybe going through the Dead Space trilogy again.
Playing Megaman 9, after Megaman and Megaman 2 on the Anniversary collection.
No doubt about it, Megaman 9 is the hardest of the classic series. I could clear two-three stages of Megaman 2 in the time it takes to memorize the first quarter of a single stage in 9.
And they have two harder difficulties as dlc. It's already packed with "gotcha" moments with every screen, I can only imagine it becomes I Wanna Be the Guy with those..

If you're into Gladiator-type games, you should pick up any of the colloseum games.
Gladiator begins is the best, followed by Clan of Champions, and then the first one.

Edit: Never mind, its a direct sequel to Divinity: Original Sin.
IMO, its better then its predecessor.
I played Divine Divinity before, I liked it, I was a wizard in it. I also have Divinity 2 The Directors Cut currently installed on my PC. I actually found Divinity 2 is more fun to play, but to be fair the two games aren't the same in gameplay. Divinity 1 is more or less like Diablo. Divinity 2 is more like an action game with some similar aspects to games like Diablo. But it differs too, like you have some platforming parts and it is somewhat like games like Skyrim with an open world.
Plus in Divinity 2 you can turn into a f*cking dragon once you reach a certain part of the game.
I'm replaying Dragon's Dogma I have yet to see an RPG that has better combat than this game. I'm also trying to get all of the best gear and weapons from Bitterblack Island. Just learned that you are more prone to get specific gear depending on what vocation you choose after defeating Daimon's evolved form. Really wish they'd make another Dragon's Dogma game and add to it by making a larger world and a bigger bestiary, weapons, armor, etc.
Playing fighters now, and of course the dpad is terrible for them.
I don't get that.. In this day and age of esports, how hard is it to talk with the pro gamers when you're designing your gamepads? I mean, a guy shouldn't need to drop 100+ dollars on a fight stick just because a pad doesn't point up when you press up, but goes in a general direction of an entire side of the pad. And that's all the problem is, one of precision.
How hard is it to make something that simply points where you want it to, reliably? Nintendo figured that out with the classic nes controller. And then, for some reason, downgraded us to the pos on the Cube...
I was going to pick that game up two days ago but I didn't realize it wasn't on PC until next week.
Going to start Dying Light: The Following. Going through Dead Space (****ing amazing game still). Tried to get into Total War: Attila but something about it is off.
So I'm starting another session of Total War: Shogun 2 and it's two exp packs. For some reason, I like Shogun 2 the best because the units make sense to me.

It was small, it had those square edges, only a d-pad, no grips to hold onto.
Surprised the damn thing didn't get complaints from Carpal Tunnel.
