GAMES I'VE BEEN PLAYING 1 - FEMTROOPER

Great video! This year I’ve started a lot of games. But the ones I’ve recently completed are FF7 remake (since I finally got a PS5) and Nightshade which is an otome game (my yearly visual novel lol). Now I’m playing peach showtime as a breather before jumping into rebirth!

I’m surprised you’re not playing FF7 Rebirth 🤔

I want to play each of these.

Really happy to hear how much you enjoyed Star Ocean Second Story R! I picked it up on PS5, but I think it'll be a great game to play on the Portal (also happy to hear how much you've been enjoying that device...I haven't used mine enough yet!) Great video, Paige! Looking forward to more of these types of videos in the future :)

Infinity “Strash” has that Engrish translation sound that was common in the 90s and early 2000s. Don’t underestimate the effect that a bad title has on gamers!

I’m playing a lot of handheld Zeldas and puzzle games, but I don’t think those are games that you’re into. 👾

I hope more people check out Rain Code, it's not perfect like you said but it has some really cool ideas and a sequel could be great.

Starting to get into more rogue likes. I find them great value and very fun and stategic. Slay the Spire mainly. I am getting Hades and Dead Cells at some point. Also I am thinking about starting the Yakuza series. As far as I know. Every game in the series is worth playing.

I was wondering how rain code would turn out, I may wait a bit before checking it out now👍 also great video!

Indomitable spirit

That Star Oceon remake looks promising. I've recently gone back to mid-2010 games and finished "Gravity Rush" can't wait to dive into its sequel

Star Ocean 2 is really good, I regret a bit panicking about the filtered download required label which made me cancel my switch preorder and get the PS5 version instead.

Currently I'm nearing the end of Rebirth and Trails in the Sky FC and damn, I'm a bit over-pg'd
Gonna need something simpler and silly(er) afterwards.

I recently played Trinity Trigger and… ugh. So much wasted potential. It could easily have been a 9/10 but was more like a 5.5-6/10.

Currently playing Tears of the Kingdom. I just finished BotW earlier this year so it’s still pretty fresh.

Filling out smaller little breaks with early megaman titles and some other occasional NES romps.

I recently beat Inscryption, which was phenomenal. I’m currently facing some decision paralysis on what to pay next, as there are too many choices lol I do have to finish Infinite Wealth though

Hey Paige! nice games, thanks again for showing us interesting games! for my part I been ton of old games because of my gaming memories! Good old game like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., also more obscure one like Clu Clu Land or Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. The last one I beat is Eye of the Beholder, going to play the second one next!

Wow, you have been making excellent progress. I have been chipping away at Persona 5 Royal and Vampire Survivors myself. I was very afraid that P5 would feel like a slog for me given the 100 hours it takes to finish the story but after 50 hours I am ready to play more. I hope to start Yakuza 7 one day but given what has been going on in my personal life, the Switch has been my only console I played. I'm also happy to hear you loved Star Ocean Second Story R. I recently got a physical copy of it on Switch and I cannot wait to dive into it one day.

Congrats on recently completing 3 games!! Bit of a bummer to hear that you didn’t enjoy Rain Code as much as you thought you would. Definitely want to give it a shot considering how much I love these games.

How long did it take you to complete Star Ocean Second Story R? This is on my short list of games to play this year and I’m not sure what to expect since I’ve never played any of the other games in the series.

Excited to hear those final thoughts on Infinite Wealth! Got the feeling that you loved it!! 🤣🤣

Fantastic video Paige. I love these kind of videos.
I'm so happy to see more people getting into the Star Ocean series, as it's one of favorite besides Final Fantasy.
So excited to play Infinite Wealth some time this year - I only hear good things about it.

Loved the video! Sorry I'm late in watching, been so caught up with things 😅

I wanted to love Rain Code so badly but I also feel so… eh on it.

This was a great list! Star Ocean was definitely one of my favs I played last year. I’m currently playing FF7 Rebirth and I’m looking forward to playing Eiyuden Chronicles next later this month!

Damn nice game wall .... Sorry I want to pull out my ps1 to ps4 collection. But realize I'm going need a full wall maybe a second. Wall.

Nice, especially with Star Ocean

I’ve currently played Live A Live, Granblue Fantasy Relink and Super Mario RPG. All 3 amazing RPGs

And now I’m currently on Final Fantasy Adventure and the first DLC for Fate/Samurai Remnant

I've been playing Dragon's Dogma 2, 75hrs in and I'm absolutely LOVING it.

I loved Dragon's Dogma 1 so both games now have a special place in my heart.

Love these kind of videos! I call them wrap ups! 🥰 just wondering on the danganronpa/master detective theme, have you tried ai the Somnium files at all?

Nice little list! Since you hint infinite wealth to be awesome, i just pick it up on sale in the psn shop.
Yet i'm so low on time nowaday, i know this game gonna take me 2 months to beat 🤣

So glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Star Ocean: The Second Story R. It has such a special place in my heart, and I am happy to see more people getting to experience its wonder.

Just been on playing Gran Turismo 7. Gorgeous if you like cars 😊😊😊

Granblue relink is the main game ive been playing. Its my game of the year so far, love pretty much everything about the game

You’re lucky. I WISH I can run on the treadmill and play switch. I can’t even chew gum and walk so imagine what I’d do to myself or Switch if I tried to use it on the treadmill. Those are some great games you’ve been playing

I'm playing Tomb Raider 1996 on that recent collection and damn, the levels in that game take so long that I can only do two levels a day, anything beyond that burns me out. I also recently finished Star Wars Dark Forces and it was generally good, I rewatched a New Hope because of that and it's just hard to watch now. Star Wars has been milked more than anyother media franchise and it's hard not to think of all the stuff that came out for the series over the years. I can watch stuff like Robocop, Terminator and Predator and divorce them from the milking but Star Wars is hard to do. I don't even dislike the movie but it also never rises above, "this is decent". Darth Vader is supposed to be an iconic villain but outside of killing Obi Wan which is a fight the latter pretty much gave up on rather than because he was beaten due to skill, it's hard to really get invested in him as a villain. If it weren't for James Earl Jones, I'd consider him to be really forgettable if I view him in isolation ANH. I would be here all day. I also played Jak the Lost Frontier and didn't dislike that game as many did.

Rain Code has been on my buy list for a while but given what I've heard about it I still want to pick it up but I'm not in a rush. Pretty much since I picked it up day 1, I've been playing Unicorn Overlord almost flat out such a fantastic game. Even though I'm in the last 3rd and over 80rs in I'm still being introduced to new strategies and gear that vastly change up how a class can be used as well as new classes themselves. The game is brimming with little details too. Like early on you encounter a village that's been tormented by a plague and the Clerics you hire in that area all have plague doctor masks, but if you were too go outside that villages range and go to another fort that same class doesn't have those masks.

Raincode was a game I was super excited for but I just kinda....never got around to playing it. Admittedly I got it because it looks like Danganronpa and thats one of my favorite series of all time

I didn't realize Star Ocean looked like that, reminds me ALMOST of 3D dot heroes, I love that!

I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima and it's amazing. I normally play RPGs but I'm so glad I tried this game.

Great video! I'm wrapping up the after game content of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. And playing Toad Treasure Tracker with my son.

Great video! I just started like a dragon infinite wealth. Only two hours in and I'm hooked. It's like.. dropping me right back in that world and I love it!

I recommend Star Ocean: Last Hope for your next Star Ocean game. It has a remake for last gen consoles that upscales the visuals and has a graphical style similar to Divine Force.

So far I haven't beat anything this year

I started the year beating Atelier Ryza and enjoyed more than I expected (Atelier Firis burned me out from Atelier games for a long time.) I then started Blue Reflection 2nd Light, but P3 Reloaded arrived. I was two trophies sort of platinum due to a choice that Atlas made that I may whinge about in a future video. I've gone back to Blue Reflection 2, but I am, kind of feeling burned out at the moment.

LOVED Star Ocean 2 story R soooo much. I super powered and hacked the final bosses. Is it worth playing it with Rena is the story arc different or the same play through.

To describe a game to your audience as so, so, so, so beautiful, (or so, so, so, so anything) is just lazy. Get a thesaurus. Or just use the free one on the internet. If those are the sort of descriptions you're going to give, then what is the point in even doing this?

Currently playing Borderlands 2 on Switch and really loving it. Pure nostalgia for me since it was a game I played back in highschool so once I'm done with it I'll probably play the og FF7 for the very first time! I can't wait to play it then dive into remake afterwards.

I watched a video of yours recently where you mention that you really enjoyed Triangle Strategy, so I ordered it, as well as Tactics Ogre and have been geeking out and having fun

Good stuff Paige! I have harvestella coming and I still need to pick up the Star ocean game.

Just recently beat FF16, Control and Cloudpunk. Working on Ghostwire Tokyo, Dead Island 2 and Stray.

Thanks for the reviews especially with Star Ocean. I was on the fence on that one and now I’ll be checking it out. Cheers!

Shootout to you for playing Infinity Strash... I read the manga when I was younger, and to this day, no other adaptations are on the same level...
I wanted to give it a chance, but thanks to your review, I'll save some time, stay on Unicorn Overlord once again, and at some point, will go back to Granblue Fantasy Relink before Eiyuden Chronicles comes out !😅

Wait, did the dragon quest game melt into the dragon ball z game?

I'm playing The Legend of Nayuta Boundless Trails and FF7 Rebirth right now. The last game I beat was Princess Peach.

In the last couple of months I've beaten a few games. I've finished the Pixel Remasters of Final Fantasy IV and V and also AER: Memories of Old.

Currently I'm playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and some Stardew Valley every once in awhile.

Star ocean R is amazing
