I wanted to get Corpse Party on my Vita finished off in 2016, considering I started it in, what, summer, but that didn't happen. At least I got my first end in the final chapter, but it was a wrong end of course, so no actual beating of the game. I kinda don't know what I'm doing anymore, haha. It's not helping that I'm going long stretches between playing. I have no idea what I could've done differently outside of way back near the beginning of the chapter. Everything else felt pretty linear, unless I was supposed to avoid picking something up or switch who I was controlling at earlier points. But, yeah, I know that when Yuka is being chased, you can have her caught or successfully run away. Everything I did before that wrong end was after letting Yuka get caught, and I know if I have her run away, there's then an option in the long cutscene after that which results in a pretty significant diversion, or so it seems. That seems like the "right" thing to do, whereas with the course of events that led to the wrong end, everything seemed to be going to hell, haha. So I guess I'll start way back with my Yuka save and see where that takes me.
Looking back I played Fallout 4 for over a year -forced to start over twice due to saving issues,now I am at nothing else to do in the game so I started Battlefield 1 ...
Having played nothing else but old school games and racing/arcade games my feel for a FPS is way off being so accustomed to Fallout 4.
I am enjoying Battlefield 1 playing the tank levels over and over"milking the game out for as long as I can.
Otherwise I'm playing ZOOKEEPER
I went to MAGFest last weekend, as I do most years, but I can't say I played much while there. Practically every machine in the arcade was occupied whenever I checked it out, and when I managed to get on a machine, it was half-broken more often than not. I did play a little Centipede. They had like 3 or 4 cabinets of it, but only one had a trackball that was working properly. I really wish the attendees would show more respect and not beat on the machines or play them with gross, sticky hands or whatever.
Back at home, I've been totally exhausted since (so far I'm not sick at least), and since I powered through all my work before MAGFest, I've had the luxury to be a lazy sack, haha. So I've been playing more Corpse Party on my Vita. I got another wrong end, and now I have the key to the principal's office. I don't know how close I'm getting to the end, but there are still something like 4 or 5 wrong ends I've yet to get in this chapter.
I got two more wrong ends in Corpse Party on my Vita, and I suspect that I'm reeeeaaally close to the end of the game. In fact, it seems like I'm up to the last scene, but who knows, maybe there's more. I did get a wrong end on it, and that seemingly leaves two more wrong ends that are either concurrent or follow. Then there's one other wrong end that seems to be close to the beginning of the chapter that I missed. I've found name tags for most of the corpses in Chapter 5 (the game especially dumped a bunch on me just a bit before where I'm currently at), though I think there's around 7 or so that I'm still lacking. No idea if I somehow missed them or if I haven't even gotten up to them yet. I have heard something about a corpse in the game being glitched, such that it'll never add itself to the list, but that wouldn't account for so many anyway. I also unlocked another extra chapter, which was just another short cutscene.
Now that I've beaten Corpse Party, I'm just working on getting the things I missed. I got the three wrong ends I missed in chapters 1 and 2, which weren't a big deal, even if if I did have to restart both chapters from scratch for two of them. What's really ticking me off is the single corpse name tag I missed in Chapter 3. I got all of the endings in Chapter 3, so that's the sole thing I missed in it. I totally forgot about it, but there was a corpse at the very end of the chapter that was blocked by victim's memoirs. Turns out you're forced to pick between getting either the corpse or the wrong end from reading all five of the chapter's memoirs. It'd be fine if I could just load up an old save, skip reading the earlier memoirs, and then get the corpse, but I loaded up all four frickin' Chapter 3 saves I had, starting from the one closest to the end of Chapter 3 to the oldest save, and EVERY damn one of them had all of the first four memoirs read, meaning that stupid fifth memoir would show up every damn time, blocking the corpse. So not only did I waste my time completing the chapter four times over with those saves, but now I realize I have to start from the very beginning of the damn chapter to get that corpse at the end. And unlike the previous chapters, Chapter 3 is more lengthy. My oldest save was like 2/3 of the way in the chapter. It's BS that they give you access to all of the first four memoirs that early in the chapter. It's like they really want to screw you out of getting that last corpse of the chapter. Really, this is what most of my missed stuff is like. Things where you have to deliberately avoid checking out a room or item, so the player is essentially punished for exploring and being thorough.
After I got the pain in the ass corpse I was missing in Chapter 3 of Corpse Party on my Vita, thankfully, the remaining stuff I was missing was all relatively quick and easy to get. It's annoying that the US release eliminates access to one corpse, leaving the list forever incomplete, but having acquired everything 100% as far as this release goes, I'm all done.
I started up Ozmafia on PC for the first time in about a month, where I was seemingly in the middle of Caramia's route, but playing a bit further, I think I actually stumbled onto how to get on Hamelin's route. I wasn't planning to do his just yet, but whatev, I'll roll with it.
