    Mafia Universe Championship - Season 11

    Unforunately i probably can not do it this year as my 2 week holiday is smack in the middle of the starting games
    They usually ask players for their availability, so you should be able to schedule around it.

    Xanjori and Insaner offered to rep for this and Rajah, but if the above changes your mind at all, we still need at least one sub

    Mafia Universe Championship - Season 11

    Here's the link with all the details:


    I legally cannot participate this year, as I'll be judging, but I'd love to send someone.

    As far as who I'd nominate(ignoring who would actually have time to play):

    Xanjori
    Mazer
    Insaner
    rock
    Claws
    Blind
    Satsu

    Naturally, I'd include Void and Foxxi if not for obvious and dumb reasons. I'd also suggest Badger, but don't think he has any interest. But this is open to anyone who wants to, and if enough people are interested, we can put it to a vote.

    I actually beat it Sunday night. Still need to do hard mode(will probably happen before the third part comes out) and there are a lot of combat challenges and mini games I still need to finish, but I did all the sidequests and finished all the World Intel.

    I'll give a super long and in-depth review later, but overall, I loved it. I think the ending was a bit sloppy and think they missed the mark for most of the Temple of the Ancients, but otherwise this was still a fantastic game.

    I'm about 64% through the story now(Started Chapter 10) on the way to Cosmo Canyon.

    The Junon sequence was really special. Won't say anything more for now but it's great. Also loved the Golden Saucer and Corel Prison stuff. Honestly, every stop has been immensely fun.

    There are like... nitpicky things I could call out about the story and the general structure/gameplay loop, but I think the key thing is I find myself wanting to do more than I promise myself to do, and think overall it's just done better than the last game.

    The parts that are arguably getting stretched out end up being so fun or breezy enough that I appreciate it. I think there's still a penchant for adding a couple extra bosses that don't need to be there, but it doesn't feel like as much of a drag as the middle portions of Remake can be. The open world isn't perfect by any means, but they put a lot of care in making both the world and each side content have something of unique and flavorful value to make it worth your time.

    I think the only thing I don't like about the structure is that I wish some summons were found more organically, but I can overlook that for many reasons.

    With some of the turns in the story, I'm very curious where the game ends and what it potentially swaps out of order for Part 3 to have unique locations. I suspect it'll end at the Temple or the City of the Ancients, but I think part of the path there might get altered. I'm just thinking though with what I've seen from the trailer...I'm not sure how many unique locations from the original they can milk for a 3rd entry. Very excited to see what's coming.

    I bought a 360 last year and a copy of New Vegas to go with it and I picked it back up for a while. I never did properly finish it before, so I eventually will get back to it.

    Honestly, I am relieved that we took out the last scum when we did. I was getting nervous about fibbing about the cop having had to recharge, when in fact I was limited to only 2 shots total anyway. I was trying to have scum put their attention on me, which would have meant that the better town players (everyone else) would have lasted longer. But having no result the next night could have been messy.

    From glancing at the neighborhood chat, it seems I rankled Nightengale both by my N1 target of MTR, and then my claim as she had pretty much cleared both of us by then.

    Given that my role was limited, I
    It's crazy because if I had realized you were 2-shot bluffing, I maybe would have targeted someone else and had a better excuse.

    I think you played your role exactly right, especially since you were 2-shot. Only reason we didn't kill you the night before I got hung is because I had a hunch MTR was a protective. Though, him being a bodyguard means we probably should have just shot you on n2

    Well.... that's not exactly how I planned things. I think this was relatively balanced though in hindsight I could have done a few things differently, most notably getting rid of the watcher and/or giving the mafia ninja shots. There's a part of me that thinks the hood didn't fit as well in the 15 player as opposed to the 17 player version I first envisioned. Diva had correctly called out what I was doing by doing 3vts + 3 neighbors. I think town mostly won by solving the hood early and getting rid of the red herring. It also helps that scum were mostly inactive though big shout out to psycho for sticking in there for a while and Listo replacing in.

    I hope you guys had a little fun and enjoyed trying something a little bit different. I might have more to say later.
    Forgot to come in and say thanks for the game. It was nice playing without the writers for a change, and I think some people who normally are a bit less outspoken really started breaking out of their shells a bit here(MTR and Dreyski felt like they were really coming into their own). I'd be happy to play another game like this.

    I think the neighbors with a telegraphed scum in it(most of us know what big neighborhoods mean) and either not knowing about the traitor or having some kind of untrackable action didn't help, but I don't think it was bad in any game-breaking sense. Had all of my team been present(including me doing a bit more early on), this game had the potential to get a lot closer than it was.

    We all make mistakes with balance. I fight it every setup. I think most people had fun and that's what matters.


    Also great job to town. Yeah, I wish things had gone a bit better with the rand, but that takes nothing away from your performance. Y'all were on top of it, took active action with the situation and didn't let scum escape being a wagon after d1. Dreyski, sorry I pushed you so hard. I legit thought you were towny as hell and was kind of surprised your wagon had any traction, and felt it was one of my only paths after how I defended CWE before that.

    It's also arguable killing Satsu was a mistake. Since he was a watcher, it worked out, but realistically he would have been a major focal point for D2 and we maybe could have had some more buffer space to work with. But hey, you miss all the shots you don't shoot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Rebirth is incredible so far. I can't help but feel they patched up the holes XVI left in it's exploration. I think there's a tighter, more enjoyable experience for those who want to rush through the main shit, but the side content has been really enjoyable for me so far. Just feels like getting more slices of the FF world, and the dev team were clearly having a lot of fun with it.

    Queen's Blood is almost as fun as Triple Triad.

    Last left off on the ship from Junon. It might be a couple days before I can properly sink into it again, but I've already lost about 30 hours in to it.

    Three days left! Almost here!!!
    Literally been counting down the days for like 3 weeks now. I'm a fucking child lol.

    Been noodling around with a couple other things. I was playing Oracle of Ages a couple weeks ago and got about halfway through, but apparently I didn't save after my last session and I lost my progress. Was gonna try to crunch that before Rebirth came out, but I don't have the energy for it right now.

    I upgraded to PS Plus Extra to play the FF7 Intermission DLC, which was a fun holdover. I absolutely loved what they did with the soundtrack and remixing the Yuffie/Wutai themes. Also the Fort Condor mini game was enjoyable.

    Been getting a lot of joy from I Am Bread the last week or so. Surprisingly hard game from such a silly and simple concept. But the grip mechanics and physics make it very interesting to struggle through. It's really hard though.

    Also sampled Dynasty Warriors 9. Used to love that series so much. While I think the open world execution is fairly sloppy and the voice-acting/storytelling seems to have taken a hit, I still found myself getting wrapped up in the loop really easily and stuck with it into the next day.
