What I've Been Playing—Sep 27 Edition

What have I been playing this week? How about I tell you.

As you may already know, I have been playing Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus Versus. How did I manage to get a copy of the game before its imminent release? I'm just that important. Okay... not really. I bought the Japanese version of the game through Play-Asia.com. If you can't wait for the English adaption, you can always order it from there. I've even made a hyperlink for you. How nice am I? The version I am referring you to is $39.99—much cheaper than the $70+ counterpart.

It is a very fun game. I'm still getting the Western version so I can understand what the heck is going on. I'll make sure to write a review of the game as well midway through October.

Since Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition was on sale a couple about a week ago, I thought I would see if anyone was online. I'm not sure how many people bought it while it was on sale, but I managed to get an online Trophy, so that was nice. I don't think I will be getting a Platinum though. I should have focused on the multiplayer first. It is just too bad that it isn't that good. The single player campaign was fantastic.

I also had Madden fever. I played some Ultimate Team mode and managed to beat two teams. When your overall score is a 68 and your facing the Green Bay Packers, the odds aren't in your favor. Sadly, that was the case. I'll have to face them another time. I think I lost 9-0. I need to get better at Madden.

So there you have it. That's what I mostly played this week. Being in school limits the time I have to play games, but apparently it hasn't stopped me. Oh, I also played some Hyrule Warriors. I will embed my "Let's Play" video in this post. I like what I've played so far.

Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus First Impressions

Months ago, I imported Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus from Japan. I liked Senran Kagura Burst, so I thought I would give the Vita version a go. A part of me didn't think that Shinovi Versus would make it to the West so soon, but that part of me was obviously wrong. But, I digress.

I really like Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus. I am not sure why I had waited so long to try it out. I don't understand any Japanese (which may be part of the reason why I found it difficult to start playing), but I have managed to figure out combat since it seems to be similar to Burst on the 3DS. I guess I will find out if I am right about that once it is released in the US.

I have played about an hour and a half of the game so far. There are three schools to choose from. I don't know the other two schools, but I believe the one I chose was Hanzo Academy. The game is a lot of fun. I like that it isn't a side-scroller beat-em-up like Burst. The camera is a little out of control sometimes, but you kind of get used to it after a while. I will continue to share my impressions of the game until the full Western release. At that point, I will write a review for the Western release of the game. I'm looking forward to that.
