Metal Slug 3 on PS4 - 70% trophies unlocked so far, working my way through the Herculean effort that is the last stage. The 99 lives and save/load anywhere feature make this the best version of this game for me

IMO, that's the worst one. Most broken loot and the most FPS-y, and FPS is something Fallout3 doesn't do quite as well as the open world stuff.

Well I'm in it more for the loot, leveling, and exploration. The game is insanely easy in my honest opinion so combat doesn't bother me to much just shoot till they get close and finish with vats. I'm lvl 4-5 with maxed charisma and soon to be maxed intelligence so sweet talking my way out of bad situations and/or activating security systems and etc. is the way I roll.

Oh yeah, VATS in Fallout 3 is great for taking down the challenge level. Except grenades. Those mostly ended up at my own feet. Some of the DLC is really hard, though. Seems like enemies' skulls are made of titanium or something.

If you don't mine more of a challenge, go for Fallout New Vegas. Even though New Vegas lacks some of the shine, more of the environments make actual sense, and the story and characters are much better and not as utter nonsense. And real-time combat, the FPS-y bits, work a lot better. Sniping is actually effective, for example. They did really tone down VATS, though, so it's not quite the life-saver it once was.

I've gotten to right about the end of Vegas a few times, but I hate having to choose a faction and I don't want to lock myself out of content by going it alone so I've never finished it.

So create an extra save file right before that point. That way you can play out the end of the game using all the paths.

Almost done with Saints Row 3 and it's a sad feeling. I really liked this game.

I am playing child of light on the vita, I am on chapter 9 and I think it's excellent! Hats off to Ubisoft on this one. It is on the short side which is perfect considering I just finished Disgaea 4.

In addition, I have broken out the Dreamcast and am playing SF Alpha 3, MvC2 and SF 3 Third Strike sparingly.

Final Fantasy III (Steam) wants me to grind. I don't want to grind. Ain't nobody got time for that shit. Also, the job system seems... worthless. I'd rather it just stuck with a class than let me pick but all I get is some HP and stats for the trouble, no inheritable abilities or anything. Thinking it was a mistake to pick this one up.

Played some Ultra SF IV. Lost 7 matches. Won 1. All while trying to train. Stupid 360 pad hurts my thumb, but I can't blame it for all my errors. I get panicky really easily, and truth told, the only characters I can use worth a damn (and even then not well) are RyuKens. Blah. Disheartening.
