2020 Checking in here - the REAL villain of the game is Drew finally getting to a point where he feels he needs to start developing new equipment and Dan constantly discouraging him from doing so.
I don't agree with saying Jedah has appeared in plenty of fighting games. He didn't debut in Darkstalkers until the third, final entry and only showed up again in a fighter in Capcom Fighting Evolution. Home boy hasn't put in a fighting game appearance since 2004, so I think it was fair to dust him off and put him in another game.
As someone whose a gigantic fan of the current IDW comics, especially the art style; and being someone who was starved to see said art style referenced ANYWHERE in the Turtleverse -- I was actually really, really looking forward to this game.
Late March Check-In: Tried the final boss of Parasite Eve a few times. Its hard. Again wondering if I should keep pounding my head against it or start over. Tinkering away here and there at Killer Instinct, picking things back up with my boy Spinal. Took quite a while to realize the CPU starts off at hella and quite a while longer to figure out how to adjust that. Finished the Temple of Time in Twilight Princess and put that down for a while -- that game takes it out of you and that last dungeon felt like a burden to finish. Gonna get back to that one in due course.
My day to day is largely Halo 5's Warzone mode. I just can't stop playing it, and I've sunk more money into stupid REQ packs than should be acceptable in polite society. But they're really onto something with that mode, its way more fun than the competitive multiplayer, except the odd match when your team gets completely steam-rolled by the other guys. Firefight needs to hurry up and get here.
Lately though, been feelin' a real powerful urge to play me some Persona 4 again...
Early March Check-in: So all that stuff about finishing Parasite Eve and SOMA before the Xbox One arrived? ...didn't happen. I finished the Day Five boss fight against Eve, but still have to close out the ending of that game, doubt I'll make time for the Chrysler Building post-game stuff but we'll see ...and I haven't even been back to SOMA.
So what have I been doing? Pretty much all the Halo. Started with 5, since it came with the system and started working my way backwards through everything on the Master Chief collection. Except for Spartan Ops, which I didn't realize was included and only found after the fact, buried deep in the multiplayer menus. Figure I'll swing back 'round to Spartan Ops after I finish CE. While hardly 'mission critical', playing through Halo 4 again, the game finally clicked with me on a mechanical level and I wanna get back to some of that. Rounding all that out, I've also been dipping into Halo 5's multiplayer pretty much every day since finishing the campaign. On a conscious level, I hate the micro-transaction solution that's been latched to cosmetic unlocks and items for Warzone, but they're doing their damn job in motivating my lizard brain to keep coming back to earn duckets for them REQ packs...
Once I wrest myself free of the Master Chief's firm grip, I'm finally gonna sink my teeth into Dave Lang's Killer Instinct. I'd also really, really like to clean Parasite Eve and SOMA off my plate. ...and I've also got Twilight Princess HD happening in between all of that...
