Final Fantasy 7

I didn't intend to play more of Final Fantasy 7 then it took to make my video. I got it cheap on Xbox 1 during there E3 sale. Yes, I do own the original PS1 version (a very rare time I pre-ordered a game), but I have no way to record footage off a that.

I didn't really intend to play more than that first hour or so, however, I find myself being drawn in. This is the first time playing it in about a decade, and I find myself wanting to play more. I just finished the bit where you visit Red XIII hippie commune.

Not sure what is drawing me in, as I have many times in the past expressed that I think Final Fantasy 7 is one of the lesser entries in the series. However, I find myself driven to play more.

Also I find it odd, as I seem to have forgotten the order of events. I had in my mind, the hippie commune part happening very soon after leaving Midgar. Like it was just one town after Cloud tells his (wrong) story. I guess 10 years between playing will do that.

May Games

This is a short list, and a puzzle heavy one. The list is short because was and still am playing Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U, and I am still not  done.

• 05/01  Star Fox 64 3D for 3DS
• 05/11  Bomberman Panic Bomber for Turbo Graphics 16
• 05/17  Dungeons and Dragons Chronicles of Mystara for Wii U
• 05/19  Super Puzzle Fight 2 Turbo for Playstation 1
• 05/19  Picross E for 3DS

My Dream List For Playstation Classic.

Well, some people asked, so I guess I will answer. This is the 20 games I would have put on the Playstation Classic. This is just my list, I have no idea how attainable any of the games would have been. This is also just what I would have wanted, my list has no interest in what would have been marketable.

1. Mega Man Legends 
2. Mega Man Legends 2
3. Final Fantasy 9
4. Kings Field 2 USA
5. Armored Core
6. Armored Core: Project Phantasma
7. Castlevania Symphony of the Night
8. Mega Man X4
9. Tekken 3
10. Tail of the Sun
11. Wild Arms 
12. Gran Turismo 2
13. Intelligent Qube
14. Saga Frontier
15. Suikoden 2
16. Chrono Cross 
17. Metal Gear Solid
18. Azure Dreams
19. Alundra
20. Breath of Fire 3

That is my list. I assumed it would still be bound by 20. If not bound there are other games I might add, Vandal Hearts, Twisted Metal 1/2, and many more.

You can see I tend toward RPGs much more than other genres. I would be shocked if anyone else liked this list. 

The Playstation Classic

You can get a Playstation Classic at Target for 28$. It is well worth it at that price. Actually, having had it for a week now, I think it is worth a bit more than that. Might go as high as 50$, but glad I didn't have to.

The games on it are as follows.

1. Battle Arena Toshinden              Meh
2. Cool Boarders 2                          Meh
3. Destruction Derby                      Meh, but I remember playing it with friends.
4. Final Fantasy VII                       Pretty good.
5. Grand Theft Auto                       Meh
6. Intelligent Qube                          Amazing
7. Jumping Flash!                           Good for an early PS1 game
8. Metal Gear Solid                        Good
9. Mr. Driller                                   Decent
10. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee         Amazing
11. Rayman                                      Decent
12. Resident Evil Director's Cut       Good, but takes getting used to these days.
13. Revelations: Persona                  Good
14. Ridge Racer Type 4                    Meh
15. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo    Amazing
16. Syphon Filter                              Decent
17. Tekken 3                                     Good
18. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six        Meh
19. Twisted Metal                            Good
20. Wild Arms                                 Amazing

The game list is alright. Yeah, there are a few games I would have left out, and replaced with others. The six games I said "meh" to, I would replace. I would have liked to have seen Armored Core, and King's Field represented. Seems a shame that Final Fantasy 9, and Twisted Metal 2 didn't make the cut. Grand Turismo seems odd in its absence. Maybe Mega Man Legends, or Breath of Fire 3.Then again, I am sure everyone has a dream list of 20 games for any "classic" system. I personally, don't want to torture myself dreaming up that list.

February Games Played Video

Games finished in February 2019

Yes, I am keeping up with this. Much shorter list this month.

Super Mario Land 2 - Game Boy                    2/4/2019

Dragon Quest 11 - PS4                                    2/14/2019

Super Mario 3d World - Wii U                        2/21/2019

Fry Cry 5 - PS4                                                2/22/2019

Crackdown 3 - Xbox 1                                    2/23/2019

This month brings us are first Xbox 1 and Wii U games of this year. More will come from both.

Currently I am playing Resident Evil 2 Remake (PS4), Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Xbox 1), Octopath Traveler (Switch), and Paper Mario Color Splash (Wii U). 

More Crackdown 3 and Far Cry 5

So I finished both of these games. While both were enjoyable experiences, they were also extremely short. The two combined took less than 20 hours to complete. Crackdown 3 being a worse offender taking only about 7 hours.

In both games, I was taking my time, trying to do all that could be done. I thought both games maps looked large enough that just exploration would take while. Sadly, this was not the case.

These are both AAA big releases. It seems to be a game that goes for 60$ should be a little longer.

Playstation 4 Unboxing

A goal that took over 10 year.

Finally did it. Found a copy of Dragon Warrior 7 for PS1. Been so very long since I started this search.

Feels good to reach a goal. Now if only I could find a copy of "The Misadventures of Tron Bonne".
