Here's a new blog feature for you all that will keep the written side of things flowing daily once again, a gaming log. I know most of you don't give a flying fuck about what I'm doing day to day but I quite enjoy the idea of making a sort of public diary of my gaming so here I go!
Well this morning I did what I do every morning which is skip breakfast and fire up Persona 5. It was a largely uneventful time although I am a little concerned with the current point in the game. Without spoiling anything I THINK I've cleared the dungeon and done everything I have to do but there's still a big fat red countdown in the corner of my screen that basically reads "8 MORE DAYS TILL YOU LOSE!"
I'm assuming everything will be OK but the progress I stand if the story doesn't get off its arse and start moving soon is pretty great. Still, I finished the session by heading into the optional dungeon, Mementos and fighting a boss that was susceptible to magic. He nearly one shot my entire party in the first turn but after I survived and healed up, everything was fine and he went down pretty quickly.
Of course though, I can't spend my entire day playing P5 because I have my job to go to so that means I have to switch to something a little more portable.
Right now my current game of choice is Dungeon Travelers 2 on the Vita which I got for free a couple of months back on PS+. So far its been a pretty enjoyable experience. It's a competently made dungeon crawl game with an absolute metric shitton of fan service. All the main cast with the exception of one character are cute anime girls and all the monsters are cute anime girls and at frequent points the game will show you full screen images of cute anime girls in their pants. Well I love dungeon crawls and I love titties so everything has been pretty peachy so far.
UNTIL TODAY
The dungeon I've been currently crawling though is just bursting at the seems with complete bullshit. Monsters doing absolute shit tons of damage with area of effect magic was just the tip of the iceberg with this place.
If you can't read Japanese then the big red text at the top of the screen basically says "No magic zone". I'm pretty heavily reliant on magic for both killing shit and staying alive so these corridors are particularly annoying. I don't mind being challenged in a game but this is just balls, I hate having my hands tied behind my back like this, it's just not fun. Luckily, my main damage dealing spell caster has a rod that does instant death sometimes so it's not all bad I guess.
As if that wasn't enough though, I manage to make it to the end of the dungeon and then this bitch shows up.
HO-LY fuck the game has just thrown some impossible bullshit out of nowhere. Every single boss up to this point has generally been pretty easy but this bitch is just smacking me all over the place. If she isn't doing some weird party wide physical attack that comes pretty close to one shotting people, she's doing some weird debuff dance thing where at the start of her turn I just go and take a handful of damage. Before I could figure out how to kill her I got home and stopped playing but I'm thinking that a little bit of grinding might be in order for this one.
After that I was sort of planning to stream but I made this mistake of getting into bed and lazing around for a bit and now I'm far to sleepy to do anything properly. I'm sure there's going to be errors in this post somewhere... Anyway I have to go to work a lot earlier than usual tomorrow so an early night and an early rise might do me some good.
