Still grinding on Final Fantasy III SNES.

Been playing some Gears of War Ultimate edition.

Excitebike 64 (N64) - Man I am waaay rusty at this.

[Disposed Hero]

Been a while since I checked in...

Persona 5 Royal - I put about 90 hours into this but have had it on hold for a while. I'll come back to it eventually. I've already played through the original version in the past so I'm not too worried about forgetting where I am in the game.

Paper Mario: The Origami King - I finished this not too long ago and really enjoyed it. I had low expectations going in due to the series' reputation as of late, but this was a good entry.

The Witcher III - I started this for the Cartridge Club GOTM in August, and I'm still chipping away at it. I'm not really sure where I am in the grand scheme of the game, but I have over 50 hours in it and have been mostly doing main story missions for a while now. It's a great game with a lot going for it, but honestly I don't feel like it quite lives up to the reputation.

Marvel's Avengers - I actually scored a copy of this for free and played through it in about a week. It's not perfect, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - I have several hours in this and am enjoying it. Curious to see where the story goes.

Fatal Frame - I started this in preparation for the Playcast GOTM in October. Some of the ghost encounters can be pretty frustrating, but I'm really enjoying it right now.

Pathologic 2 - I played a little bit of this since I've heard good things about it, but it's not really grabbing me. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it or not.

Beat me some Gears of War!

Wind Waker (GC) - Near the end now, going to start Pikmin 2 afterwards.

[MetalFRO]

I managed to beat Gears of War, after grinding about 60 or so attempts at the brutal final boss.

This month I managed to play through Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, Gears of War: Judgment , Gears of War 4 and Gears 5. Since the first title was the September Playthrough I figured it would be fun to dive back into a franchise I haven't played since the Xbox 360. Since beating the current gears series I've been playing through a few other titles. I'm replaying The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim because its been a while since I last beat it. I'm continuing Paper Mario: The Origami King, and have just beat the third boss and destroyed the 3rd ribbon. Lastly, I'm playing through Earthbound. I missed the play through on this, but after listening to the Playcast for it, I decided I was finally going to finish a game I've started so many times.

That's an extensive list!  I wish I had that much time.  I'm playing Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy.

Diddy Kong Racing (N64) - No matter what I can't stand those hovercraft. I don't know how I got used to them back in the day. I enjoying flying through the courses more often then not.

I LOVE this game.  One of the best racers in my opinion.  Multiplayer was loads of fun, too.

Just finished playing Paper Mario: The Origami King and overall I enjoyed my play through of it. I always preferred the more RPG styled Paper Mario games over the current action/adventure style, but the good store and beautiful sound track made it very enjoyable.

My kids love the N64, so there has been loads of multiplayer on there lately! Also, yes Diddy Kong Racing is awesome. I prefer it over Mario Kart 64.

I agree.  I like it better than Mario Kart 64.
