Starfield on my Xbox Series S. I just love it. It’s finally the perfect No Man’s Sky. Kind of. With more story, even better graphics, a fantastic score and so on and so on. Just waiting for 60fps
The Crew Motorfest Demo on my Xbox Series S. It’s okay. Would be waaaay better without the Tearing problems. Waiting for patch. If they get rid of the Tearing problem I’ll buy it.
I’ve not really been playing anything this past week. I’m putting off a second playthrough of BG3 as I want to wait for at least one more major patch and some more mods to come out/get refined, but after seeing some of the fanservice for fans of the older games in Act 3 (both good and bad) I got the itching to play through BG2 again, including a full playthrough of Throne of Bhaal with Ascension installed this time (I rarely push through ToB after finishing BG2). I never did it before out of fear for the difficulty, but I see that the Tougher Battles module is optional in the rewritten 2.0+ version Ascension.
Naturally this was an opportunity to revamp my BG2 modlist, so the past week has been an exercise in frustration as I’ve been re-exploring the wonders of WeiDU and trying to figure out the correct install order of everything, which can be extremely finicky. Hopefully I’ll get to start playing this week.
I beat Kingdom Hearts 1 last week, so this week I’m doing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories! I think I’m about halfway through now, just finishing floor 12 I think, but the battle’s been rough on me to say the least. I think I’m gonna need to grind up some cards and levels today to get past it.
Since Blasphemous II came out, I decided to give the first game of the two a try, and I’m amazed. For me, this is as good as a hollow Knight in terms of the map size, exploration, combat, music, everything. It’s phenomenal. The odd art style put me off at first, but it was unfounded. The game is awesome. If you’re on the fence about it like I was, take this as your sign that it’s a good metroidvania. Your mileage may vary, but I don’t usually give annoying or tedious games the light of day.
I’ve never finished FF9 on PS1 (my optical drive died), then I got distracted playing FF9 remaster a few years earlier. Finally decided to stream the game with a guide
The battle is slow, even with fast forward, the animation seems to be slower than FF8 or FF7
The fast forward in this remaster is not implemented as good as FF8 remaster’s.
It’s only either 1x or 4x speed
If you started the fast forward and forgot to turn it off before a cutscene, then the cutscene will play at 4x without any way to reset the speed.
Despite all that, I am enjoying the game, characters are likable. I’m currently at Disc 2, after the Clerya section
Resident Evil Remake
Again, I’m following a guide to get unlimited rocket launcher. I really dislike that 3 hour time limit. Or maybe I just really dislike time limit in games.
I’m not into survival horror, but I enjoy the shooting / action part of Resident Evil
So far, not enjoying it, since I’m just kiting zombies, skipping cutscenes, etc. My aim is to get unlimited ammo, then finally play both Chris and Jill sections without the ammo, and in some ways, inventory constraints.
Getting to the end of it and I’ve really loved it. The Eikon abilities have really flourished throughout the game starting as supplemental to combat to being a cornerstone of combat.
Other than that, the story has been great as well as the subplots. I can’t express how happy I am with this game after the disaster of Final Fantasy XV and the all of the FFVII stuff.
Thats what Im doing. I heard the game patch was basically going to make it a whole new experience, and Im only 1hr in, so Im just going to start over after it drops on the 21st.
I finished the story mode for Mortal Kombat 1, and it's another fun NRS story mode, but this one might be their weakest. The opening takes a while to get going, and some of the dialogue can be overly stiff, plus Megan Fox's delivery sucks on every other line. Still, it does pick up, and it's got some ideas. Unfortunately, I'm now left grinding the Invasions mode that I'm not really enjoying so that I can unlock the last few kameo fighters, because 5 of them are still locked when you finish the story mode. I'm not sure yet if MK1 is going to be a regular in my rotation of games I compete in, but it's got a decent shot.
Once I've had my fill of that, it's back to Baldur's Gate 3, where I'm finally in Act 3. I've still yet to arrive in Baldur's Gate in the game called Baldur's Gate.
After more than thirty hours and hours of discussions with a friend who knows Pathfinder and stuff, I've finally beaten the first boss of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous!
My character finally created, I got through the intro cutscene thingle, threw a dart, saved, and am in bed waiting to become asleep 🤣
(The joke is that the character creation is so interesting, involved, and/or difficult that it counts as a boss fight just choosing a character class to start with 😅 Also yes it did actually according to Steam take me nearly forty hours to defeat said boss 😅)
Good Ness, I was going to express concern for you for spending that much time on character creation, but then I watched the Mortismal new player guide and…that looks overwhelming in a possibly good way.
