Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bridecompleted
The kids after being weak, ineffective, and an overall drain on resources are now coming into their own and pulling their own weight.
I almost quit this game tonight. I finished up the Zenithian thing, needed to leave to find the gold orb and had to go back through Diggery Pokery. Like come on man, let me evac, is that not what this spell is for? I did not want to walk back through this mine cart nonsense. Legit almost decided I've seen enough!
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesiacompleted
We have made it to Dracula's castle. Every time I kill a boss and it doesn't have a cool new ability drop it makes me angry.
I'm really uncertain I'm going to finish this. I think I've seen enough to make a real judgment on it and it's "cool ideas kind of okay execution." What might get me to push through it is that I'm so very close to the end and Fortune's Weave is around the corner so am I going to start something NEW? Probably not. Although I'm so close to the end of this and DQV I'll probably have some left over time before Weave.
