    I played the Final Fantasy 16 demo. I’m not sold on it, but I tend to favour older games with turn based combat. Still, I did mostly enjoy the gameplay, it seems like it could be a fun game.

    I gave Dragon’s Dogma another try, and I’m 20+ hours in now. I never made it this far. It’s a pretty fun game, though I’m having difficulty figuring out some quests without resorting to searching wikis. My current quest, I need to find a gargoyle, kill it and get back something from it, but it didn’t drop anything. I’m wondering if it glitched.

    For relaxing, I’m playing Etrian Odyssey 3.

      Dragon’s Dogma is so good! I loved the game. The story is pretty much nothing until the latter fourth of the game, but I find it pretty compelling and interesting. Stick with it if you enjoy the gameplay enough (not sure about that bug though); the payoff for playing through to the end and then scouring Bitterblack Isle is well worth pushing through the nearly non-existant story in the middle.

        That’s good to know. I’m having fun playing a magical archer at the moment.

        I got Dragon’s Dogma when it was on a deep sale not long ago, and if it wasn’t for Capcom absolutely killing it lately, I might let it sit in my backlog for a long time still, but I think I’ll get to it ahead of the sequel’s release.

          Enjoy! There’s definitely issues with it, but the core gameplay and combat is just too good.
