Been playing this sooooo much. I never actually had a chance to play through Emerald when they were released. I remember Ruby and Sapphire very clearly, but Emerald is like a much better more improved version of those games. My team currently consists of (and keep in mind, I don't usually change my party too often, these are the results of the pokemon I caught throughout the game and evolved them, etc.)

Azumarill
Flygon
Rayquaza (always good to have in tough situations)
Blaziken
Kadabra
Graveler

I just got to the Elite Four a day or two ago and so i've been grinding for experience on Victory Road while fighting trainers to get money to get hp potions and revives and things of that sort. Been having a blast,

This is also why I haven't been on here much. What use have I for the likes of you people when I can hang with elves instead?

So this explains why you've hardly been working on your journals!

Never heard of this game before but looked at this video and it has impressed me


Sacred 2 Fallen Angel Gameplay Video - YouTube

How does it compare to say Skyrim?

This picture reminds of a really scary Japanese based horror game that came out back in the 00's, the problem is I can't remember what it was called.

Fatal Frame?

I picked up the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX today. Something tells me that this wasn't a great place to start for someone who has never played a Kingdom Hearts game before.

Definitely not, bro. Get KH1.

Tekken Tag 2, bro.

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs

Not a direct sequel to 2010's Amnesia: the Dark Descent but a game set in the same universe. This game wasn't actually developed by Frictional Games, but instead by thechineseroom, who did the retail version of Dear Esther and it seems like some of their design choices from that game have leaked into this one. This game is far more focused on telling you a story rather than you trying to piece it together bit by bit. They've removed the tinder boxes and lantern fuel so you never have to worry about running out, and there's no sanity meter so you don't have to worry about weird camera filters when confronted with monsters. I'm not really sure why the developers decided to ditch the limited light sources as managing your limited supplies is pretty much a staple of the survival-horror genre and giving us the comfort that we will never be stuck in the dark does a lot to negate the self-created horror that our minds conjure.

I dunno, I need to play this game more but it's not really lighting the same fire under my ass that its predecessor did, and after staining every pair of boxers I own with Outlast I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed.

The name Fatal Frame meant nothing to me but then I saw the game was known as Project Zero in Europe, so yes that was the game;)

I didn't know there were more games in the series either.

That's rather disappointing to hear. Part of the scare factor for me in the The Dark Descent was the insanity and not having enough tinderboxes to light up hallways. Now that those are gone, I feel like the game won't be as suspenseful. I'll give it a play whenever I get around to it, but it's a shame to already hear that it's a bit underwhelming.
