Re: FFXIV Beta (The BEST FFXIV Thread)

I broke down and started back up to play through the Shadowbringers expansion, since I didn't have much else I was interested in playing. I'm glad I did - this game just keeps getting better! The story is really good - but fuck is it dark. I'm not quite done with the story - I have one dungeon/trial...

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda

Finished this! I did every side quest and wanted to go for the platinum, but there is a multiple playthrough trophy so I gave up that idea. Playing through Dragon Quest XI next, I think I'll make the platinum push on that one.
