Pikmin 3. Even after it was over, is found myself going back and looking for fruit before saying "Fuck it" deleting my data, and starting from scratch. Infinitely enjoyable. In fact, I've tossed all of my newer consoles to the side and have been playing Pikmin 3 for days now.

I miss Miiverse. 😢

Currently, it’s Dragon Quest XI. I’m absolutely addicted to it. I’m about done with Act 1 and I don’t want this game to end. It’s going to be my first DQ I finish too.

If you guys love rpgs, I highly recommend it. It starts off sorta slow but once you get a good few hours into it, it really gets addicting.

Is the gameplay comparable or a step up from Dragon Quest 8 ? (since that was the former console DQ)

Agreed. I bought the game at midnight on release day to show my support for a franchise that desperately needs more love in the Americas. I have been slowly drip-feeding this game to myself (and my wife plays too and is at the same part of the game) as I never want it to end. We are nearing the end of the game now, but once the Switch version comes around I'll probably be ready for another go.

As far as JRPGs go, DQXI has an amazing "economy" (can't think of a better word), such that you will never have enough gold to buy everything you want. I oftentimes find that many games shower you with gold/gil, which hinders that aspect of the game. Character progression in general is very solid.

DQ games just make me feel really good to play.

It plays very similarly to Dragon Quest 8. Some differences:

- The way skills work is no longer a linear list of skills, but a "skill tree" now.
- Enemies show up when navigating the world, so you get to pick your fights.
- The crafting system plays out like a mini-game, and items have varying qualities. Your crafting skill increases as you level up allowing you to make better items.

Both games are very comparable to each other though.

The witcher 3, RDR2,The last of us,and maybe Resident evil 3

Thanks for info,a must play for me it seems. :)

Spider-Man (PS4) even with all the DLC i can't get enough

I get this way about a lot of my favorite games and series, especially RPGs, but rather than name some of the usual suspects, I'll name a game I wasn't really expecting much from, at least going into it. Ys VIII. Hearing the description of it as an action RPG with Metroidvania elements where you explore, chart, and discover the secrets of a forbidden island drew me in. The satisfying gameplay loop of charting new areas, discovering new shipwreck survivors and building up the village with new fortifications and trading shops, and slowly unlocking new abilities or getting enough survivors to unlock new areas kept me going. As you get further into the game, the story takes more and more surprising twists, and I became pretty attached to some of the characters, such that I put off the final battle for a while because I knew it was the last I'd see of them. When I finally finished it, it was bittersweet and I immediately felt a wistfulness that I hadn't felt for a game in a while. With Super Mario Odyssey it was mostly just that I wanted more worlds to explore and to keep playing the game, but the worlds were still always there and I could always go back and play Luigi's Balloon World. It never really felt like goodbye. With Ys VIII, as with many other games I've played, especially RPGs and grand adventures like Zelda, there was a sense that even if I didn't want it to be, it was finished, and it was time to move on.

It is a very fun game, I also bought it at launch and it took me quite awhile to finish. It was all worth it though. I highly recommend going for the platinum, it is a platinum that makes sense with the game and isn't too irksome.
