My thoughts on the State of Play? Wolverine looks so fucking awesome. Rayman Legends Retold, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, The Lost Wild, Stuntman Hollywood, and Runescape: Dragonwilds looks good. God of War Laufey looks pretty cool, too, though still need to play the first two.

I’m getting very frustrated with Dragon Quest VII. In order to get the platinum, I have to get all the items in the game. Some are locked behind a minigame and it’s largely RNG. I’m only down to three things, but they all absolutely refuse to show up. I’m no closer than I was the last time I played before this weekend, yet I’m too close to give up as well. Once I get these, the rest is much less complicated. I hope that, if XII and future remakes do this, it doesn’t rely as much on RNG. 🤬 On another note, my break is over and back to work today. Not ready yet. 😩

Shiny!

Finally did enough to warrant a new gaming goals update! 🤩 Get to 175 platinums total (153/175) Get to 7,500 trophies total (6,992/7,500) Reduce number of incomplete games-29 Reduce number of incomplete trophies-812 Earn a platinum on my birthday Earn a new monthly record for total trophies (currently 249 in July 2017) Complete three games for every new one bought Games bought: 12 Games completed: 9 Game buying freeze from January 1-June 30 and no new preorders except for anything Dragon Quest related and existing preorders from before January 1 I haven't bought any new games since before the first of the year, but I did preorder Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar and the Black Flag Resynced CE, so I'm going to put it in orange rather than red. Due to how long Dragon Quest VII Reimagined has taken me, I haven't made much headway in game completion. My buying freeze ends next month and I will likely have some new preorders as well. Still, I've stuck to it relatively well and I have made some headway.

Happy 40th anniversary, Dragon Quest! Also looking forward to playing the games shown today! New trailers!

I've finally finished the story of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined! 🥳 Now the postgame awaits!

A different type of metal slime to hunt! They don't run, but they don't give quite as much XP to those that do. So that's three draconic slimes in DQ7 Reimagined!

Kitty cat gave me a shiny! 😍

Finally defeated the Demon King and restored the world in Dragon Quest VII Reimagined!
